Unraveling the Role of the Apical Papilla During Dental Root Maturation

Abstract: The apical papilla is a stem cell rich tissue located at the base of the developing dental root and is responsible for the progressive elongation and maturation of the root. The multipotent stem cells of the apical papilla (SCAP) are extensively studied in cell culture since they demonstrate a high capacity for osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic differentiation and are thus an attractive stem cell source for stem cell-based therapies. Currently, only few studies are dedicated to determining the role of t… Show more

“…Y1 was sequenced using the 10X Genomics chromium platform, from which 12,620 cells were obtained. Y2 of GSM4365609 was in a later stage of development than Y1, and only the apical papilla of the root was extracted, which participates in the elongation and maturation of the root ( Driesen et al, 2021 ). In addition, two samples from mature tooth pulp (A1 and A2), for a total of four samples, were analyzed in our study to explore the spatial and temporal characterization of the gene expression in human tooth development ( Figure 1A ; Supplementary Table S1 ).…”

“…For example, SCAPs from teeth in the early root development stage showed better cell migration and osteogenic differentiation than those isolated from the tooth root at the late stage of development [18]. Third, the role of SCAPs in tooth root development is regulated by their in vivo niche, and in vitro culturing inevitably simplifies the regulation network SCAPs receive [19]. Therefore, different, even opposite, findings might be observed in studies from different research groups.…”

“…To promote further root elongation and dentin formation, SCAPs can differentiate into odontoblasts. 70 The regulation of biological behaviors of SCAPs, such as differentiation, maturation, and mineralization, is tightly controlled by a cascade of signaling pathways, including TGF-β, WNT, and MAPK pathways (Fig. 3).…”
