RESUMO

Fibrous dysplasia of bone (FD) is caused by somatic mutations of the GNAS1 gene, which lead to constitutive activation of adenylyl cyclase and overproduction of cAMP in osteogenic cells. Previous in vitro studies using nonclonal, heterogeneous strains of FD-derived cells suggested that IL-6 might play a critical role in promoting excess osteoclastogenesis in FD. In this study, we investigated IL-6 expression in FD in situ and its relationship to the actual patterns of osteoclastogenesis within the abnormal tissue. We found that osteoclastogenesis is not spatially restricted to bone surfaces in FD but occurs to a large extent ectopicly in the fibrous tissue, where stromal cells diffusely express IL-6 mRNA and exhibit a characteristic cell morphology. We also observed specific expression of IL-6 mRNA in a proportion of osteoclasts, suggesting that an autocrine/paracrine loop may contribute to osteoclastogenesis in vivo in FD, as in some other bone diseases, including Paget's disease. We also generated homogeneous, clonally derived strains of wild-type and GNAS1-mutated stromal cells from the same individual, parent FD lesions. In this way, we could show that mutated stromal cells produce IL-6 at a basal magnitude and rate that are significantly higher than in the cognate wild-type cells. Conversely, wild-type cells respond to db-cAMP with a severalfold increase in magnitude and rate of IL-6 production, whereas mutant strains remain essentially unresponsive. Our data establish a direct link between GNAS1 mutations in stromal cells and IL-6 production but also define the complexity of the role of IL-6 in regulating osteoclastogenesis in FD in vivo. Here, patterns of osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption reflect not only the cell-autonomous effects of GNAS1 mutations in osteogenic cells (including IL-6 production) but also the local and systemic context to which non-osteogenic cells, local proportions of wild-type vs mutated cells, and systemic hormones contribute.

RESUMO

In this study, we characterized the self-renewal capability, multi-lineage differentiation capacity, and clonogenic efficiency of human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). DPSCs were capable of forming ectopic dentin and associated pulp tissue in vivo. Stromal-like cells were reestablished in culture from primary DPSC transplants and re-transplanted into immunocompromised mice to generate a dentin-pulp-like tissue, demonstrating their self-renewal capability. DPSCs were also found to be capable of differentiating into adipocytes and neural-like cells. The odontogenic potential of 12 individual single-colony-derived DPSC strains was determined. Two-thirds of the single-colony-derived DPSC strains generated abundant ectopic dentin in vivo, while only a limited amount of dentin was detected in the remaining one-third. These results indicate that single-colony-derived DPSC strains differ from each other with respect to their rate of odontogenesis. Taken together, these results demonstrate that DPSCs possess stem-cell-like qualities, including self-renewal capability and multi-lineage differentiation.

RESUMO

We report an unusual generalized skeletal syndrome characterized by fibro-osseous lesions of the jawbones with a prominent psammomatoid body component, bone fragility, and bowing/sclerosis of tubular bones. The case fits with the emerging profile of a distinct syndrome with similarities to previously reported cases, some with an autosomal dominant inheritance and others sporadic. We suggest that the syndrome be named gnathodiaphyseal dysplasia. The patient had been diagnosed previously with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (PFD) elsewhere, but further clinical evaluation, histopathological study, and mutation analysis excluded this diagnosis. In addition to providing a novel observation of an as yet poorly characterized syndrome, the case illustrates the need for stringent diagnostic criteria for FD. The jaw lesions showed fibro-osseous features with the histopathological characteristics of cemento-ossifying fibroma, psammomatoid variant. This case emphasizes that the boundaries between genuine GNAS1 mutation-positive FD and other fibro-osseous lesions occurring in the jawbones should be kept sharply defined, contrary to a prevailing tendency in the literature. A detailed pathological study revealed previously unreported features of cemento-ossifying fibroma, including the participation of myofibroblasts and the occurrence of psammomatoid bodies and aberrant mineralization, within the walls of blood vessels. Transplantation of stromal cells grown from the lesion into immunocompromised mice resulted in a close mimicry of the native lesion, including the sporadic formation of psammomatoid bodies, suggesting an intrinsic abnormality of bone-forming cells.
