Human multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), also known as mesenchymal stem cells, have become an important and attractive therapeutic tool since they are easily isolated and cultured, have in vitro expansion potential, substantial plasticity and secrete bioactive molecules that exert trophic effects. The human umbilical cord as a cell source for cell therapy will help to avoid several ethical, political, religious and technical issues. One of the main issues with SC lines from different sources, mainly those of embryonic origin, is the possibility of chromosomal alterations and genomic instability during in vitro expansion. Cells isolated from one umbilical cord exhibited a rare balanced paracentric inversion, likely a cytogenetic constitutional alteration, karyotype: 46,XY,inv(3)(p13p25~26). Important genes related to cancer predisposition and others involved in DNA repair are located in 3p25~26. Titanium is an excellent biomaterial for bone-implant integration; however, the use can result in the generation of particulate debris that can accumulate in the tissues adjacent to the prosthesis, in the local bone marrow, in the lymph nodes, liver and spleen. Subsequently may elicit important biological responses that aren´t well studied. In this work, we have studied the genetic stability of MSC isolated from the umbilical cord vein during in vitro expansion, after the cryopreservation, and under different concentrations and time of exposition to titanium microparticles. Cells were isolated, in vitro expanded, demonstrated capacity for osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation and were evaluated using flow cytometry, so they met the minimum requirements for characterization as MSCs. The cells were expanded under different concentrations and time of exposition to titanium microparticles. The genetic stability of MSCs was assessed by cytogenetic analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and analysis of micronucleus and other nuclear alterations (CBMN). The cells were able to internalize the titanium microparticles, but MSCs preserve their morphology, differentiation capacity and surface marker expression profiles. Furthermore, there was an increase in the genomic instability after long time of in vitro expansion, and this instability was greater when cells were exposed to high doses of titanium microparticles that induced oxidative stress. It is necessary always assess the risks/ benefits of using titanium in tissue therapy involving MSCs, considering the biosafety of the use of bone regeneration using titanium and MSCs. Even without using titanium, it is important that the therapeutic use of such cells is based on analyzes that ensure quality, security and cellular stability, with the standardization of quality control programs appropriate. In conclusion, it is suggested that cytogenetic analysis, FISH analysis and the micronucleus and other nuclear alterations are carried out in CTMH before implanting in a patient

The development and progression of odontogenic tumors have been associated with an imbalance in the activity of growth factors, adhesion molecules, extracellular matrix proteins and their degradation enzymes, angiogenic factors and osteolytic. Some studies have shown that interaction relationships inductive epithelial / mesenchymal determinants of Odontogenesis are mimicked by these tumors. The objective of this research was to investigate the immunolocalization of growth factors (BMP-4 and FGF-8) and Sindecan-1 structural protein in a series of odontogenic tumors presenting different biological behaviors, to contribute to a better understanding of the role of these proteins in tumor development. The sample consisted of 21 of the solid ameloblastoma, odontogenic keratocysts 19 and 14 odontogenic adenomatoid tumors. Increased Sindecan-1 immunostaining was seen in the epithelium of the lesions when compared with mesenchyme. In ameloblastoma and odontogenic keratocysts, this expression was higher than in AOT. Epithelial expression of BMP4 showed quantitatively similar in the three studied lesions; however, when anlisada mesenchymal immunoreactivity, was detected significant higher expression when compared to the ameloblastoma keratocysts. In ameloblastoma, mesenchymal expression was predominantly (p = 0.008), while in keratocyst higher expression in the epithelium was observed (p = 0.046). In all injuries, strong or moderate correlation was observed in the BMP-4 immunoreactivity in the epithelium and mesenchyme. FGF-8, no injury was observed difference between the immunoreactivity in the epithelium or mesenchyme, however in ameloblastoma positive correlation was found (Spearman correlation, rho = 0.857, p <0.001). The results of this study suggest that the three evaluated biomarkers actively involved in the pathogenesis of lesions, especially the expression of ameloblastomas indicating a strong interaction between parenchymal and stromal cells which may contribute to its marked aggressiveness.
