Abstract
AbstractAimsPathological dental root resorption and alveolar bone loss are often detected only after irreversible damage. Biomarkers in the gingival crevicular fluid or saliva could provide a means for early detection; however, such biomarkers have proven elusive. We hypothesize that a multiomic approach might yield reliable diagnostic signatures for root resorption and alveolar bone loss. Previously, we showed that extracellular vesicles (EVs) from osteoclasts and odontoclasts differ in their protein composition. In this study, we investigated the metabolome of EVs from osteoclasts, odontoclasts and clasts (non‐resorbing clastic cells).Materials and MethodsMouse haematopoietic precursors were cultured on dentine, bone or plastic, in the presence of recombinant RANKL and CSF‐1 to trigger differentiation along the clastic line. On Day 7, the cells were fixed and the differentiation state and resorptive status of the clastic cells were confirmed. EVs were isolated from the conditioned media on Day 7 and characterized by nanoparticle tracking and electron microscopy to ensure quality. Global metabolomic profiling was performed using a Thermo Q‐Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometer with a Dionex UHPLC and autosampler.ResultsWe identified 978 metabolites in clastic EVs. Of those, 79 are potential biomarkers with Variable Interdependent Parameters scores of 2 or greater. Known metabolites cytidine, isocytosine, thymine, succinate and citrulline were found at statistically higher levels in EVs from odontoclasts compared with osteoclasts.ConclusionWe conclude that numerous metabolites found in odontoclast EVs differ from those in osteoclast EVs, and thus represent potential biomarkers for root resorption and periodontal tissue destruction.
