Abstract
A ligature-induced periodontitis model was established in wild-type and CD146CreERT2; RosatdTomato mice to explore the function of pericytes in alveolar bone formation. We found that during periodontitis progression and periodontal wound healing, CD146+/NG2+ pericytes were enriched in the periodontal tissue areas, which could migrate to the alveolar bone surface and colocalize with ALP+/OCN+ osteoblasts. Chemokine C-X-C motif receptor 4 (CXCR4) inhibition using AMD3100 blocked CD146-Cre+ pericyte migration and osteogenesis, as well as further exacerbated periodontitis-associated bone loss. Next, primary pericytes were sorted out by magnetic-activated cell sorting and demonstrated that C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) promotes pericyte migration and osteogenesis via CXCL12-CXCR4-Rac1 signaling. Finally, the local administration of an adeno-associated virus for Rac1 overexpression in NG2+ pericytes promotes osteoblast differentiation of pericytes and increases alveolar bone volume in periodontitis. Thus, our results provided the evidence that pericytes may migrate and osteogenesis via the CXCL12-CXCR4-Rac1 axis during the pathological process of periodontitis.

Abstract
Periodontitis, a prevalent inflammatory condition in the oral cavity, is closely associated with oxidative stress-induced tissue damage mediated by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. The jaw vascular unit (JVU), encompassing both vascular and lymphatic vessels, plays a crucial role in maintaining tissue fluid homeostasis and contributes to the pathological process in inflammatory diseases of the jaw. This study presents a novel approach for treating periodontitis through the development of an injectable thermosensitive gel (CH-BPNs-NBP). The gel formulation incorporates black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNs), which are notable for their ROS-scavenging properties, and dl-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP), a vasodilator that promotes lymphatic vessel function within the JVU. These results demonstrate that the designed thermosensitive gel serve as a controlled release system, delivering BPNs and NBP to the site of inflammation. CH-BPNs-NBP not only protects macrophages and human lymphatic endothelial cells from ROS attack but also promotes M2 polarization and lymphatic function. In in vivo studies, this work observes a significant reduction in inflammation and tissue damage, accompanied by a notable promotion of alveolar bone regeneration. This research introduces a promising therapeutic strategy for periodontitis, leveraging the unique properties of BPNs and NBP within an injectable thermosensitive gel.

Abstract
Intraflagellar transport (IFT) proteins have been reported to regulate cell growth and differentiation as the essential functional component of primary cilia. The effects of IFT80 on early bone healing of extraction sockets have not been well studied. To investigate whether deletion of Ift80 in alveolar bone-derived mesenchymal stem cells (aBMSCs) affected socket bone healing, we generated a mouse model of specific knockout of Ift80 in Prx1 mesenchymal lineage cells (Prx1Cre ;IFT80f/f ). Our results demonstrated that deletion of IFT80 in Prx1 lineage cells decreased the trabecular bone volume, ALP-positive osteoblastic activity, TRAP-positive osteoclastic activity, and OSX-/COL I-/OCN-positive areas in tooth extraction sockets of Prx1Cre ; IFT80f/f mice compared with IFT80f/f littermates. Furthermore, aBMSCs from Prx1Cre ; IFT80f/f mice showed significantly decreased osteogenic markers and downregulated migration and proliferation capacity. Importantly, the overexpression of TAZ recovered significantly the expressions of osteogenic markers and migration capacity of aBMSCs. Lastly, the local administration of lentivirus for TAZ enhanced the expression of RUNX2 and OSX and promoted early bone healing of extraction sockets from Prx1Cre ; IFT80f/f mice. Thus, IFT80 promotes osteogenesis and early bone healing of tooth sockets through the activation of TAZ/RUNX2 pathway.

Abstract
Lymphatic vessel networks are a main part of the vertebrate cardiovascular system, which participate in various physiological and pathological processes via regulation of fluid transport and immunosurveillance. Targeting lymphatic vessels has become a potent strategy for treating various human diseases. The presence of varying degrees of inflammation in joints of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA), characterized by heightened infiltration of inflammatory cells, increased levels of inflammatory factors, and activation of inflammatory signaling pathways, significantly contributes to the disruption of cartilage and bone homeostasis in arthritic conditions. Increasing evidence has demonstrated the pivotal role of lymphatic vessels in maintaining joint homeostasis, with their pathological alterations closely associated with the initiation and progression of inflammatory joint diseases. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the evolving knowledge regarding the structural and functional aspects of lymphatic vessels in the pathogenesis of RA and OA. In addition, we summarized the potential regulatory mechanisms underlying the modulation of lymphatic function in maintaining joint homeostasis during inflammatory conditions, and further discuss the distinctions between RA and OA. Moreover, we describe therapeutic strategies for inflammatory arthritis based on lymphatic vessels, including the promotion of lymphangiogenesis, restoration of proper lymphatic vessel function through anti-inflammatory approaches, enhancement of lymphatic contractility and drainage, and alleviation of congestion within the lymphatic system through the elimination of inflammatory cells. At last, we envisage potential research perspectives and strategies to target lymphatic vessels in treating these inflammatory joint diseases.

Abstract
Physiological activity cannot be regulated without the blood and lymphatic vasculatures, which play complementary roles in maintaining the body's homeostasis and immune responses. Inflammation is the body's initial response to pathological injury and is responsible for protecting the body, removing damaged tissues, and restoring and maintaining homeostasis in the body. A growing number of researches have shown that blood and lymphatic vessels play an essential role in a variety of inflammatory diseases. In the inflammatory state, the permeability of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels is altered, and angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis subsequently occur. The blood vascular and lymphatic vascular systems interact to determine the development or resolution of inflammation. In this review, we discuss the changes that occur in the blood vascular and lymphatic vascular systems of several organs during inflammation, describe the different scenarios of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis at different sites of inflammation, and demonstrate the prospect of targeting the blood vasculature and lymphatic vasculature systems to limit the development of inflammation and promote the resolution of inflammation in inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Inflammatory jaw bone diseases are common in stomatology, including periodontitis, peri-implantitis, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, radiation osteomyelitis of the jaw, age-related osteoporosis, and other specific infections. These diseases may lead to tooth loss and maxillofacial deformities, severely affecting patients' quality of life. Over the years, the reconstruction of jaw bone deficiency caused by inflammatory diseases has emerged as a medical and socioeconomic challenge. Therefore, exploring the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases associated with jaw bones is crucial for improving prognosis and developing new targeted therapies. Accumulating evidence indicates that the integrated bone formation and dysfunction arise from complex interactions among a network of multiple cell types, including osteoblast-associated cells, immune cells, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels. However, the role of these different cells in the inflammatory process and the 'rules' with which they interact are still not fully understood. Although many investigations have focused on specific pathological processes and molecular events in inflammatory jaw diseases, few articles offer a perspective of integration. Here, we review the changes and mechanisms of various cell types in inflammatory jaw diseases, with the hope of providing insights to drive future research in this field.

Mechanical force induces macrophage-derived exosomal UCHL3 promoting bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell osteogenesis by targeting SMAD1. J Nanobiotechnology 2023; 21:88. [PMID: 36915132 PMCID: PMC10012474 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-023-01836-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), a process of alveolar bone remodelling, is induced by mechanical force and regulated by local inflammation. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) play a fundamental role in osteogenesis during OTM. Macrophages are mechanosensitive cells that can regulate local inflammatory microenvironment and promote BMSCs osteogenesis by secreting diverse mediators. However, whether and how mechanical force regulates osteogenesis during OTM via macrophage-derived exosomes remains elusive. RESULTS Mechanical stimulation (MS) promoted bone marrow-derived macrophage (BMDM)-mediated BMSCs osteogenesis. Importantly, when exosomes from mechanically stimulated BMDMs (MS-BMDM-EXOs) were blocked, the pro-osteogenic effect was suppressed. Additionally, compared with exosomes derived from BMDMs (BMDM-EXOs), MS-BMDM-EXOs exhibited a stronger ability to enhance BMSCs osteogenesis. At in vivo, mechanical force-induced alveolar bone formation was impaired during OTM when exosomes were blocked, and MS-BMDM-EXOs were more effective in promoting alveolar bone formation than BMDM-EXOs. Further proteomic analysis revealed that ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase isozyme L3 (UCHL3) was enriched in MS-BMDM-EXOs compared with BMDM-EXOs. We went on to show that BMSCs osteogenesis and mechanical force-induced bone formation were impaired when UCHL3 was inhibited. Furthermore, mothers against decapentaplegic homologue 1 (SMAD1) was identified as the target protein of UCHL3. At the mechanistic level, we showed that SMAD1 interacted with UCHL3 in BMSCs and was downregulated when UCHL3 was suppressed. Consistently, overexpression of SMAD1 rescued the adverse effect of inhibiting UCHL3 on BMSCs osteogenesis. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that mechanical force-induced macrophage-derived exosomal UCHL3 promotes BMSCs osteogenesis by targeting SMAD1, thereby promoting alveolar bone formation during OTM.

Inflammation specific environment activated methotrexate-loaded nanomedicine to treat rheumatoid arthritis by immune environment reconstruction. Acta Biomater 2023; 157:367-380. [PMID: 36513249 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.12.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as an autoimmune inflammatory disease, is featured by enhanced vascular permeability, irreversible cartilage destroys and bone erosion. Although the pathogenesis of RA is still unclear, the immune environment, particularly the lymphatic system, which is instrumental to immune cell surveillance and interstitial fluid balance, plays vital roles in the process of RA. Herein, an inflammation specific environment activated methotrexate-encapsulated nanomedicine (MTX@NPs) was constructed for RA treatment, which accumulated in inflamed joints, and released MTX in the specific RA microenvironment. Notably, MTX@NPs could regulate the immune environment including reducing the expressions of inflammatory cytokines of macrophages and the inflammatory level of lymphatic epithelial cells (LECs), and ameliorating the lymphatic vessel contraction and drainage. In vitro and In vivo studies illustrated that MTX@NPs exhibited a high RA therapeutic efficacy and insignificant systemic toxicity owing to the suppression of the inflammation response and the improved lymphatic functions of RA joints. It suggests that the nanomedicine paves a potential way to the clinical practice of autoimmune diseases treatments via the regulation of immune environment and lymphatic functions. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Although 1.0% of the population in the world suffers from rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the pathogenesis of RA is still unclear and the therapeutic effect of the first-line clinical drugs is relatively low. Herein, we propose a specific RA-microenvironment triggered nanomedicine (MTX@NPs), which enhances RA treatment of a first-line antirheumatic drug (methotrexate, MTX) by immune environment reconstruction. The nanomedicine exhibits RA joints accumulation by EPR effect, and releases MTX under the specific RA environment, leading to the dramatical drop of M1-type macrophages and acceleration of lymphatic vessel contraction and drainage. Finally, the inflammatory cytokines in RA immune environment are reduced sharply, indicating the outstanding therapeutic efficacy of MTX@NPs to RA.

Galectin-8 involves in arthritic condylar bone loss via podoplanin/AKT/ERK axis-mediated inflammatory lymphangiogenesis. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2023; 31:753-765. [PMID: 36702375 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2023.01.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in the maintenance of tissue fluid homeostasis and the immunological response to inflammation. Galectin-8 (Gal-8) regulates pathological lymphangiogenesis but the effects of which on inflammation-related condylar bone loss in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) have not been well studied. DESIGN We used TNFα-transgenic (TNFTG) mice and their wildtype (WT) littermates to compare their inflammatory phenotype in TMJs. Next, lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) were used to examine the effects of which on osteoclast formation, pro-inflammatory factor expression, and inflammatory lymphangiogenesis with or without thiodigalactoside (TDG, a Gal-8 inhibitor) treatment. At last, two murine models (TNFTG arthritic model and forced mouth opening model) were used to explore TDG as a potential drug for the treatment of inflammation-related condylar bone loss. RESULTS In comparison to WT mice, lymphatic areas of lymphatic vessel endothelial receptor 1 (LYVE1)+/podoplanin (PDPN)+ and Gal-8+/PDPN+, TRAP-positive osteoclast number, and condylar bone loss are increased in TNFTG mice. Inhibition of Gal-8 in LECs by TDG, reduces TNFα-induced osteoclast formation, pro-inflammatory factor expression, and inflammatory lymphangiogenesis. In addition, Gal-8 promotes TNFα-activated AKT/ERK/NF-κB pathways by binding to PDPN. Finally, the administration of TDG attenuates inflammatory lymphangiogenesis, inhibits osteoclast activity, and reduces condylar bone loss in TNFTG arthritic mice and forced mouth opening mice. CONCLUSIONS Our findings reveal the important role of Gal-8-promoted pathological lymphangiogenesis in inflammation-related condylar bone loss.

A rescue diet raises the plasma calcium concentration and ameliorates rheumatoid arthritis in mice: Role of CaSR-mediated inhibition of osteoclastogenesis. FASEB J 2023; 37:e22673. [PMID: 36468692 DOI: 10.1096/fj.202200761rrr] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2022] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Calcium modulates bone cell recruitment, differentiation, and function by binding to the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR). However, the function of CaSR induced by high extracellular calcium (Ca2+ e ) in the regulation of osteoclast formation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains unknown. Here, we used TNFα-transgenic (TNFTG ) RA mice and their wildtype (WT) littermates fed a normal or a rescue diet (high calcium, high phosphorus, and high lactose diet, termed rescue diet) to compare their joint bone phenotypes. In comparison to TNFTG mice fed the normal diet, articular bone volume and cartilage area are increased, whereas inflamed area, eroded surface, TRAP+ surface, and osteoclast-related genes expression are decreased in TNFTG mice fed the rescue diet. Besides, TNFTG mice fed the rescue diet were found to exhibit more CaSR+ area and less NFATc1+ /TRAP+ area. Furthermore, at normal Ca2+ e concentrations, osteoclast precursors (OCPs) from TNFTG mice formed more osteoclasts than OCPs from WT mice, but the number of osteoclasts gradually decreased when the Ca2+ e concentration increased. Meanwhile, the expression of CaSR increased responding to a high level of Ca2+ e , whereas the expression of NF-κB/NFATc1 signaling molecules decreased. At last, the knockdown of CaSR blocked the inhibition of osteoclast differentiation attributed to high Ca2+ e . Taken together, our findings indicate that high Ca2+ e inhibits osteoclast differentiation in RA mice partially through the CaSR/NF-κB/NFATc1 pathway.

Abstract
A20 is involved in inflammation and bone metabolism in periodontitis. Regulation of macrophage polarization may be an effective target for periodontitis treatment, and A20 has a regulatory role in macrophage polarization. This study aimed to explore the effects of A20 on macrophage polarization in periodontitis and the underlying mechanism. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) targeting A20 was exploited to achieve A20 knockdown or overexpression in periodontal tissues of mice with experimental periodontitis. The (AAV-A20-RNAi) +P group showed increased alveolar bone resorption when compared with PBS + P and CON305 + P groups. However, the degree of bone destruction was reduced in the (AAV-A20) +P group relative to PBS + P and CON299 + P groups. A20 knockdown resulted in enhanced inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and decreased CD206 expression in mice periodontal tissues. In addition, higher levels of M1 macrophage polarization markers (iNOS, CD86, TNF-α) and lower CD206 expression were found in THP-1 cells treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) (Pg. LPS) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) when A20 was silenced. A20 overexpression showed opposite effects on macrophage polarization in vivo and in vitro. Knockdown of A20 was correlated with upregulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway in mice periodontal tissues or THP-1 cells. On the contrary, A20 overexpression inhibited the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. MCC950 suppressed M1 macrophage polarization aggravated through A20 knockdown in Pg. LPS and IFN-γ stimulated cells. Our data suggested that A20 inhibits periodontal bone resorption and NLRP3-mediated M1 macrophage polarization; A20 is expected to be a novel target for the treatment of periodontitis.

RelA/MicroRNA-30a/NLRP3 signal axis is involved in rheumatoid arthritis via regulating NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages. Cell Death Dis 2021; 12:1060.

Abstract
NLRP3 inflammasome plays an important role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the post-transcriptional regulation of NLRP3 expression by miRNA in synovial macrophages is still not well understood. The aim of the study is to elucidate the mechanisms of RA with the focus on miRNAs mediated post-transcriptional regulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Here, we used NLRP3-deficient mice (NLRP3KO) to cross with TNFα-transgenic mice (TNFTG) to generate NLRP3KO/TNFTG mice, and compared their joint phenotypes with those of their TNFTG and wild-type (WT) littermates at 5 months of age. In comparison to WT mice, articular bone volume and cartilage area are decreased, whereas inflammed area, eroded surface, ALP+ osteoblast number, TRAP+ osteoclast number, and the areas of RelA+F4/80+, Caspase-1+F4/80+, IL-1β+F4/80+ synoviocytes are increased in the TNFTG mice. Knockout of NLRP3 ameliorates joint inflammation and bone damage in TNFTG mice. Further, in TNFα-primed BMDMs, RelA positively regulates NLRP3 expression, but negatively regulates miR-30a. Additionally, miR-30a negatively mediates NLRP3 expression by directly binding to its 3' UTR, suggesting a miR-30a-mediated feedforward loop acting on NLRP3. Finally, intra-articular injection of AAV-miR-30a inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation, reduces joint inflammation, and attenuates bone damage in TNFTG mice. Thus, RelA/miR-30a/NLRP3 signal axis is involved in RA through regulating NLRP3 Inflammasome in macrophages.

Abstract
Objectives NLRP3 inflammasome is a critical part of the innate immune system and plays an important role in a variety of inflammatory diseases. However, the effects of NLRP3 inflammasome on periodontitis have not been fully studied. Materials and methods We used ligature‐induced periodontitis models of NLRP3 knockout mice (NLRP3KO) and their wildtype (WT) littermates to compare their alveolar bone phenotypes. We further used Lysm‐Cre/RosanTnG mouse to trace the changes of Lysm‐Cre+ osteoclast precursors in ligature‐induced periodontitis with or without MCC950 treatment. At last, we explored MCC950 as a potential drug for the treatment of periodontitis in vivo and in vitro. Results Here, we showed that the number of osteoclast precursors, osteoclast differentiation and alveolar bone loss were reduced in NLRP3KO mice compared with WT littermates, by using ligature‐induced periodontitis model. Next, MCC950, a specific inhibitor of the NLRP3 inflammasome, was used to inhibit osteoclast precursors differentiation into osteoclast. Further, we used Lysm‐Cre/RosanTnG mice to demonstrate that MCC950 decreases the number of Lysm‐Cre+ osteoclast precursors in ligature‐induced periodontitis. At last, treatment with MCC950 significantly suppressed alveolar bone loss with reduced IL‐1β activation and osteoclast differentiation in ligature‐induced periodontitis. Conclusion Our findings reveal that NLRP3 regulates alveolar bone loss in ligature‐induced periodontitis by promoting osteoclastic differentiation.

Abstract
Sepsis is life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by an imbalance in the body’s response to infection and acute lung injury (ALI) related to sepsis is a common complication. The rapid morbidity and high mortality associated with sepsis is a significant clinical problem facing critical care medicine. Inflammation plays a vital role in the occurrence of sepsis. Notably, the body produces different immune cells and pro-inflammatory factors to clear pathogens. However, excessive inflammation can damage multiple tissues and organs when it fails to resolve in time. Additionally, lymphatic vessels could effectively transfer inflammatory cells and factors away from tissues and into blood circulation, thereby reducing damage, and promoting the resolution of inflammation. Therefore, any dysfunction and/or destruction of the lymphatic system may result in lymphedema followed by inflammatory storms and eventual sepsis. Consequently, the present study aimed to review and highlight the role of lymphatic vessels in related body tissues and organs during sepsis and other associated diseases.
