Abstract
Objectives: To explore the influence of a novel WNT10A variant on bone mineral density, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation capacities of alveolar bone mesenchymal stem cells in humans.
Subjects and methods: Whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were utilized to detect gene variants in a family with non-syndromic tooth agenesis (NSTA). The panoramic mandibular index was calculated on the proband with WNT10A variant and normal controls to evaluate bone mineral density. Alveolar bone mesenchymal stem cells from the proband with a novel WNT10A variant and normal controls were isolated and cultured, then proliferation and osteogenic differentiation capacities were evaluated and compared.
Results: We identified a novel WNT10A pathogenic missense variant (c.353A > G/p. Tyr118Cys) in a family with NSTA. The panoramic mandibular index of the proband implied a reduction in bone mineral density. Moreover, the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation capacities of alveolar bone mesenchymal stem cells from the proband with WNT10A Tyr118Cys variant were significantly decreased.
Conclusions: Our findings broaden the spectrum of WNT10A variants in patients with non-syndromic oligodontia, suggest an association between WNT10A and the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of alveolar bone mesenchymal stem cells, and demonstrate that WNT10A is involved in maintaining jaw bone homeostasis.
期刊介绍:
Oral Diseases is a multidisciplinary and international journal with a focus on head and neck disorders, edited by leaders in the field, Professor Giovanni Lodi (Editor-in-Chief, Milan, Italy), Professor Stefano Petti (Deputy Editor, Rome, Italy) and Associate Professor Gulshan Sunavala-Dossabhoy (Deputy Editor, Shreveport, LA, USA). The journal is pre-eminent in oral medicine. Oral Diseases specifically strives to link often-isolated areas of dentistry and medicine through broad-based scholarship that includes well-designed and controlled clinical research, analytical epidemiology, and the translation of basic science in pre-clinical studies. The journal typically publishes articles relevant to many related medical specialties including especially dermatology, gastroenterology, hematology, immunology, infectious diseases, neuropsychiatry, oncology and otolaryngology. The essential requirement is that all submitted research is hypothesis-driven, with significant positive and negative results both welcomed. Equal publication emphasis is placed on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
