Associations between Host Genetic Variants and Subgingival Microbiota in Patients with the Metabolic Syndrome. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:16649. [PMID: 38068972 PMCID: PMC10706808 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242316649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2023] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Host genetic variants may affect oral biofilms, playing a role in the periodontitis-systemic disease axis. This is the first study to assess the associations between host genetic variants and subgingival microbiota in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS); 103 patients with MetS underwent medical and periodontal examinations and had blood and subgingival plaque samples taken. DNA was extracted and processed, assessing a panel of selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) first (hypothesis testing) and then expanding to a discovery phase. The subgingival plaque microbiome from these patients was profiled. Analysis of associations between host genetic and microbial factors was performed and stratified for periodontal diagnosis. Specific SNPs within RUNX2, CAMTA1 and VDR genes were associated with diversity metrics with no genome-wide associations detected for periodontitis severity or Mets components at p < 10-7. Severe periodontitis was associated with pathogenic genera and species. Some SNPs correlated with specific bacterial genera as well as with microbial taxa, notably VDR (rs12717991) with Streptococcus mutans and RUNX2 (rs3749863) with Porphyromonas gingivalis. In conclusion, variation in host genotypes may play a role in the dysregulated immune responses characterizing periodontitis and thus the oral microbiome, suggesting that systemic health-associated host traits further interact with oral health and the microbiome.

Abstract
Treatment of periodontitis in people with diabetes remains challenging. The present study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of thioredoxin-1 (TRX1) in periodontitis with diabetes, as well as its role in modulating osteogenic differentiation. Our findings indicated that the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was elevated, while the expression of TRX1 was significantly reduced in the periodontal tissues of periodontitis mice with diabetes. Furthermore, knockdown of TRX1 in periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) resulted in the inhibition of osteogenic differentiation through disrupting Wnt/β-catenin signaling. However, this inhibition was restored upon administration of recombinant human TRX1 (rhTRX1). Importantly, rhTRX1 treatment decreased ROS generation, activated Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway and considerably promoted the alveolar bone repair of periodontitis mice with diabetes. These findings highlighted the crucial protective role of TRX1 in periodontitis with diabetes and suggested that it may serve as a potential therapeutic target for refractory periodontitis associated with oxidative stress.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the role of metabolic syndrome (MetS) components in the association with periodontitis (PE) (#CRD42020218310). MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic electronic search was performed in PUBMED, Scielo and Lilacs databases up to April 2022. Cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort studies presenting data on the association between MetS and PE in the adult and elderly populations were included. A random effect meta-analysis was performed to determine association effect estimates. Results interpretation followed the assessment of methodological quality (Joana Briggs Institute tool) together with the certainty of evidence (GRADE approach). RESULTS This review included 52 studies, totalling 140,434 participants, and 38 studies were meta-analyzed. Association between PE and MetS was observed (ORadj from 1.27 to 1.90; PRajd = 1.19; RRadj from 1.10 to 1.37) (low and very low certainty of evidence). Hyperglycaemia (OR = 1.18), HDL (OR = 1.16), obesity (OR = 1.08), and hypertension (OR = 1.11) were associated with PE, except triglycerides (low and very low certainty of evidence). There was a dose-response gradient between the number of MetS components and PE, with a gradual increase in the effect magnitude for 1 (OR = 1.14), 2 (OR = 1.52), 3 or more (OR = 1.79), and 4 or 5 components (OR = 2.02) (low to high certainty of evidence). CONCLUSIONS MetS was associated with PE, with a dose-response gradient between the number of MetS components and the occurrence of PE, with an increasing effect magnitude according to an increasing number of components. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Periodontal examination should be part of a comprehensive propaedeutic approach of MetS patients, particularly those presenting a great number of components.

Association between periodontitis and the metabolic syndrome in the Hamburg City Health Study. J Periodontol 2021; 93:1150-1160. [PMID: 34967009 DOI: 10.1002/jper.21-0464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2021] [Revised: 11/26/2021] [Accepted: 11/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies demonstrated an association between severe chronic periodontitis (CP) and the metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, these studies mostly employed the meanwhile outdated NCEP-ATPIII case definition of the MetS. Additionally, CP was rarely diagnosed based on a full-mouth examination. Thus, the aim of the current study was to re-evaluate the potential association between CP and the MetS in the Hamburg City Health Study (HCHS), a large population-based survey of middle-aged and elderly men and women in Germany, in view of more current definitions of the MetS and CP. METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed with baseline-data from participants of the Hamburg City Health Study (HCHS). Periodontitis severity grades were determined in a random sample of 6,209 participants of which 5,456 had sufficient data to call absence or presence of the MetS. Variables defining the MetS according to the currently valid harmonized definition were determined and a full-mouth examination was performed, including determination of the clinical attachment loss (AL), bleeding on probing (BOP), and dental plaque (PI) index. CP was classified in three grades of severity (none/mild, moderate, and severe). The Kruskal-Wallis test or the Chi-squared test were used for descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression models with and without adjustments for potential confounders (age, sex, smoking, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), energy intake, and physical activity) were used to test for associations. RESULTS The prevalence of the MetS (39.0%) increased according to the severity grades of periodontitis (none/mild: 33.6%; moderate: 38.7%, and severe: 46.8%). Multivariate logistic regression analyses demonstrated that severe but not moderate CP was associated with the MetS after adjusting for age and sex (odds ratio [OR]: 1.24; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-1.48; p = 0.02). However, the association was attenuated after additional adjustment for smoking (OR: 1.19; 95% CI: 0.99-1.43; p = 0.058) and hsCRP, energy intake, and physical activity (OR: 1.11; 95% CI 0.91-1.36; p = 0.294). CONCLUSIONS The use of the more current definitions for the MetS and CP confirmed previous observations of an age- and sex-adjusted association between severe CP and the MetS. Smoking, high energy intake and low physical activity were identified as important lifestyle-related confounders. Abdominal obesity, as indicated by elevated waist circumference, came out as the most important component of the MetS in relation to CP. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
The incidence and prevalence of metabolic syndrome has steadily increased worldwide. As a major risk factor for various diseases, metabolic syndrome has come into focus in recent years. Some natural aporphine alkaloids are very promising agents in the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome and its components because of their wide variety of biological activities. These natural aporphine alkaloids have protective effects on the different risk factors characterizing metabolic syndrome. In this review, we highlight the activities of bioactive aporphine alkaloids: thaliporphine, boldine, nuciferine, pronuciferine, roemerine, dicentrine, magnoflorine, anonaine, apomorphine, glaucine, predicentrine, isolaureline, xylopine, methylbulbocapnine, and crebanine. We particularly focused on their impact on metabolic syndrome and its components, including insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus, endothelial dysfunction, hypertension and cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia and obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, hyperuricemia and kidney damage, erectile dysfunction, central nervous system-related disorder, and intestinal microbiota dysbiosis. We also discussed the potential mechanisms of actions by aporphine alkaloids in metabolic syndrome.
