Abstract
High-concentration fluoride treatment is commonly used to prevent dental caries in the oral cavity, and fluorine-containing protective paint is used to alleviate common root sensitivity symptoms in patients with periodontitis after periodontal treatment. Recent studies have confirmed its safe use in normal oral environments. However, whether fluoride treatment affects the progression of periodontitis in an inflammatory microenvironment remains unclear. Immunometabolism is crucial for maintaining bone regeneration and repair in periodontitis, and the precise regulation of macrophage polarisation is crucial to this process. Fluoride can influence the immune microenvironment of bone tissue by regulating immune metabolic processes. Herein, we investigated the effects of high concentrations of sodium fluoride (NaF) on periodontal tissues. We examined the expression of osteogenic and M1/M2 macrophage polarisation markers and glucose metabolism in macrophages. RNA sequencing was used to study differentially expressed genes related to M1 polarisation and glucose metabolism in treated macrophages. The results showed that NaF indirectly affects human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs), aggravating bone loss, tissue destruction, and submandibular lymph node drainage. Furthermore, NaF promoted glycolysis in macrophages and M1 polarisation while inhibiting osteogenic differentiation. These findings suggest that NaF has a direct effect on hPDLCs. Moreover, we found that high concentrations of NaF stimulated M1 polarisation in macrophages by promoting glycolysis. Overall, these results suggest that M1 macrophages promote the osteoclastic ability of hPDLCs and inhibit their osteogenic ability, eventually aggravating periodontitis. These findings provide important insights into the mechanism of action of NaF in periodontal tissue regeneration and reconstruction, which is critical for providing appropriate recommendations for the use of fluoride in patients with periodontitis.

BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:981. [PMID: 39179998 PMCID: PMC11342503 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04747-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2024] [Accepted: 08/14/2024] [Indexed: 08/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence of a polymicrobial dysbiotic film in direct and constant contact with periodontal tissues initiates the host immune response. Interleukin 18 (IL-18) triggers up-regulates the production of other proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6), creating a vicious cycle that expands the inflammatory and destructive process in the periodontal tissue. A systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out with the main propose to investigate IL-18 expression in different biological samples from subjects with chronic periodontitis. METHODS The protocol followed PRISMA guidelines and was registered in Open Science Framework (OSF): https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/BS9GM . A digital search was conducted in the databases PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, Web of Science and Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source databases were consulted from March 15th, 2005 to February 10th, 2023. Study quality was assessed using the JBI tool for cross-sectional studies and clinical trials. A meta-analysis was performed using a random/fixed effects model to evaluate the concentration of IL-18 in serum, plasma, saliva, gingival tissue and GCF of exposure group compared to control group. RESULTS The search strategy provided a total of 3,156 articles, of which 18 investigations met the inclusion criteria and 15 articles were quantitatively analyzed. The total number of patients studied was 1,275 (682 cases and 593 controls). The meta-analysis revealed significantly elevated IL-18 levels of serum, saliva and GCF of subjects with chronic periodontitis compared to healthy subjects (Serum: SMD = 62.73, 95%CI: 25.43-100.03, Z = 3.29, p = 0.001*; Saliva: SMD = 243.63, 95%CI: 8.68-478.59, Z = 2.03, p = 0.042*; GCF: SMD = 150.26, 95%CI: 56.86-243.66, Z = 3.15, p = 0.02*). CONCLUSION IL-18 levels in serum, saliva and GCF could have the potential to be used as complementary diagnostic tools to the clinical and radiographic parameters in subjects with periodontitis.

Abstract
In daily rheumatology practice, systemic sclerosis is primarily regarded as a potentially life-threatening disease characterized by fibrosis of various organs. Therefore, other manifestations, such as orofacial involvement, are often not of primary concern. Furthermore, due to its rarity, the disease might not be well known by dentists, which contrasts with the increased risk of various problems in the oral cavity. Periodontitis in particular is a known risk factor for morbidity and mortality and is associated with various systemic diseases. The risk of periodontitis appears to be increased in patients with systemic sclerosis, but little is known about the gender-specific differences. This study aims to elucidate the health-conscious behaviour of patients, their dental care and the risk of periodontitis with regard to gender-specific differences. This descriptive study of the Interdisciplinary Centre of Rheumatic Diseases (INDIRA) in collaboration with the Department of Orthodontics at the University Hospital of Tuebingen, Germany, examined the data of 148 patients with systemic sclerosis with regard to their oral health using a questionnaire and evaluating the risk of periodontitis with the DG Paro self-assessment score in this cohort. Among the participating patients, 90% reported regular visits to the dentist and good dental care. Nevertheless, more than half of the patients had missing teeth and problems opening their mouths. Sicca symptoms in the oral cavity were also common (40%). The risk of periodontitis among female participants was high (around 60%), and even higher among male study participants (around 80%). Gingival bleeding as a surrogate parameter for periodontitis was associated with salivary flow and the modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS). Despite a high awareness of dental health, we observed a high risk of periodontitis, especially in male patients with systemic sclerosis. In addition, the association between xerostomia and missing teeth as well as gingival bleeding and mRSS may indicate an increased risk in patients with a more progressive disease. We would therefore recommend regular dental consultations and careful oral hygiene for patients with systemic sclerosis in addition to the-more organ-focused-regular examinations of patients.

Abstract
The notion that obesity can be a protective factor for bone health is a topic of ongoing debate. Increased body weight may have a positive impact on bone health due to its mechanical effects and the production of estrogen by adipose tissue. However, recent studies have found a higher risk of bone fracture and delayed bone healing in elderly obese patients, which may be attributed to the heightened risk of bone immune regulation disruption associated with obesity. The balanced functions of bone cells such as osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and osteocytes, would be subverted by aberrant and prolonged immune responses under obese conditions. This review aims to explore the intricate relationship between obesity and bone health from the perspective of osteoimmunology, elucidate the impact of disturbances in bone immune regulation on the functioning of bone cells, including osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and osteocytes, highlighting the deleterious effects of obesity on various diseases development such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (AS), bone fracture, periodontitis. On the one hand, weight loss may achieve significant therapeutic effects on the aforementioned diseases. On the other hand, for patients who have difficulty in losing weight, the osteoimmunological therapies could potentially serve as a viable approach in halting the progression of these disease. Additional research in the field of osteoimmunology is necessary to ascertain the optimal equilibrium between body weight and bone health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was performed to determine the therapeutic effects of diosgenin (DG) which is a steroidal saponin, administered at different doses on alveolar bone loss (ABL) in rats with experimental periodontitis using immunohistochemical and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). METHODS Thirty-two male Wistar rats divided into four equal groups: control (non-ligated), periodontitis (P), DG-48, and DG-96. Sutures were placed at the gingival margin of the lower first molars to induce experimental periodontitis. Then, 48 and 96 mg/kg of DG was administered to the study groups by oral gavage for 29 days. At day 30, the animals were sacrificed and ABL was determined via CBCT. The expression patterns of osteocalcin (OCN), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), type I collagen (Col-1), B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl 2), Bcl 2-associated X protein (Bax), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), and receptor activator of NF κB ligand (RANKL) were examined immunohistochemically. RESULTS Histopathologic examination showed all features of the advanced lesion in the P group. DG use decreased all these pathologic changes. It was observed that periodontitis pathology decreased as the dose increased. DG treatment increased the ALP, OCN, Bcl 2, Col-1, and BMP-2 levels in a dose-dependent manner, compared with the P group (p < 0.05). DG decreased the expression of RANKL and Bax in a dose-dependent manner (p < 0.05). ABL was significantly lower in the DG-48 and DG-96 groups than in the P group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Collectively, our findings suggest that DG administration protects rats from periodontal tissue damage with a dose-dependent manner, provides an increase in markers of bone formation, decreases in Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and osteoclast activation.

Abstract
Porphyromonas gingivalis is the most pathogenic periodontal bacterium in the world. Recently, P. gingivalis has been considered responsible for dysbiosis during the development of periodontitis. This study aimed to evaluate a novel immunochromatographic device using monoclonal antibodies against P. gingivalis in subgingival plaques. A total of 72 patients with chronic periodontitis and 53 periodontally healthy volunteers underwent clinical and microbiological examinations. Subgingival plaque samples were analyzed for the presence of P. gingivalis and compared using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In the periodontitis group, a significant positive correlation was observed between the test device scores and the real-time PCR results. The specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of the test device for P. gingivalis, as determined by real-time PCR, were 98%, 94%, 89%, and 90%, respectively. There were significant differences in bacterial counts by real-time PCR among the groups with different ranges of device scores. Additionally, there was a significant positive correlation between the device scores for P. gingivalis and periodontal parameters. These results suggest that this novel immunochromatographic device can be effectively used for rapid detection and semi-quantification of P. gingivalis in subgingival plaques.

Abstract
Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system plays a crucial role in the regulation of blood pressure and fluid homeostasis. It is reported to be involved in mediating osteoclastogenesis and bone loss in diseases of inflammatory bone resorption such as osteoporosis. Angiotensin-(1-7), a product of Angiotensin I and II (Ang I, II), is cleaved by Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 and then binds to Mas receptor to counteract inflammatory effects produced by Ang II. However, the mechanism by which Ang-(1-7) reduces bone resorption remains unclear. Therefore, we aim to elucidate the effects of Ang-(1-7) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced osteoclastogenesis. In vivo, mice were supracalvarial injected with Ang-(1-7) or LPS ± Ang-(1-7) subcutaneously. Bone resorption and osteoclast formation were compared using micro-computed tomography, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) stain, and real-time PCR. We found that Ang-(1-7) attenuated tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, TRAP, and Cathepsin K expression from calvaria and decreased osteoclast number along with bone resorption at the suture mesenchyme. In vitro, RANKL/TNF-α ± Ang-(1-7) was added to cultures of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) and osteoclast formation was measured via TRAP staining. The effect of Ang-(1-7) on LPS-induced osteoblasts RANKL expression and peritoneal macrophages TNF-α expression was also investigated. The effect of Ang-(1-7) on the MAPK and NF-κB pathway was studied by Western blotting. As a result, Ang-(1-7) reduced LPS-stimulated macrophages TNF-α expression and inhibited the MAPK and NF-κB pathway activation. However, Ang-(1-7) did not affect osteoclastogenesis induced by RANKL/TNF-α nor reduce osteoblasts RANKL expression in vitro. In conclusion, Ang-(1-7) alleviated LPS-induced osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption in vivo via inhibiting TNF-α expression in macrophages.

Abstract
Periodontitis is widely acknowledged as the most prevalent type of oral inflammation, arising from the dynamic interplay between oral pathogens and the host's immune responses. It is also recognized as a contributing factor to various systemic diseases. Dysbiosis of the oral microbiota can significantly alter the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota. Researchers have delved into the links between periodontitis and systemic diseases through the "oral-gut" axis. However, whether the associations between periodontitis and the gut microbiota are simply correlative or driven by causative mechanistic interactions remains uncertain. This review investigates how dysbiosis of the gut microbiota impacts periodontitis, drawing on existing preclinical and clinical data. This study highlights potential mechanisms of this interaction, including alterations in subgingival microbiota, oral mucosal barrier function, neutrophil activity, and abnormal T-cell recycling, and offers new perspectives for managing periodontitis, especially in cases linked to systemic diseases.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a severe gum infection leading to chronic inflammation in the gums, damage of tissues around teeth, and destruction of alveolar bones. Porphyromonas gingivalis is the major causative pathogen that induces periodontitis. Numerous probiotic bacteria are reported to produce antibacterial substances against pathogens especially oral pathogens, and these are proposed as preventive measures for periodontitis. In this study, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei LMT18-32 was evaluated and its antibacterial activity against P. gingivalis, and antioxidant activity in vitro were established. In addition, when L. paracasei LMT18-32 was administered to periodontitis induced mice, it successfully alleviated the alveolar bone loss and suppressed induced expression of proinflammatory and tissue destruction related genes in the gingival tissue. In conclusion, L. paracasei LMT18-32 is proposed as a potential probiotics to prevent periodontitis.

Abstract
Background Periodontal health in men with HIV remains understudied, despite suggestions of associations between HIV infection and gingival pocketing, periodontal attachment loss, and gingival inflammation. As antiretroviral therapy (ART) has improved the quality of life for people living with HIV (PLWH), aging-related risk factors and comorbidities, including periodontitis, have emerged. This study aims to assess alveolar bone height, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) cytokines, and periodontal disease activity in men with and without HIV. Methods Ninety-three men (50 HIV+, 43 HIV‒) aged 35-70 years were recruited from Columbia University Irving Medical Center clinics. Periodontal examination, GCF collection, and intraoral radiographs were conducted. Results While no significant differences were observed in bleeding on probing, clinical attachment loss and pocket depths, men with HIV exhibited significantly greater alveolar crestal height on radiographs compared to men without HIV (HIV + 3.41+/-1.35 mm, HIV- 2.64+/-1.01 mm; p = 0.004), reflecting greater alveolar bone loss. GCF IL6 levels showed a trend towards elevation in men with HIV (HIV + 0.349+/-0.407 pg/ml, HIV- 0.220+/-0.228 pg/ml; p = 0.059). Conclusions Men with HIV demonstrate increased alveolar bone loss compared to those without HIV, possibly mediated by elevated IL6 levels. These results underscore the importance of comprehensive oral health management in PLWH and highlight the need for further research understanding the mechanisms linking HIV infection, cytokine dysregulation, and periodontal health.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to investigate the effects of Umbelliferone (UMB) on the inflammation underlying alveolar bone resorption in mouse periodontitis. METHODS Male Swiss mice subjected to a ligature of molars were grouped as non-treated (NT), received UMB (15, 45, or 135 mg/kg) or saline daily for 7 days, respectively, and were compared with naïve mice as control. Gingival tissues were evaluated by myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and interleukin-1β level by ELISA. The bone resorption was directly assessed on the region between the cement-enamel junction and the alveolar bone crest. Microscopically, histomorphometry of the furcation region, immunofluorescence for nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-ĸB), and immunohistochemistry for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), and cathepsin K (CTSK) were performed. Systemically, body mass variation and leukogram were analyzed. RESULTS Periodontitis significantly increased MPO activity, interleukin-1β level, and NF-ĸB+ immunofluorescence, and induced severe alveolar bone and furcation resorptions, besides increased TRAP+ and CTSK+ cells compared with naïve. UMB significantly prevented the inflammation by reducing MPO activity, interleukin-1β level, and NF-ĸB+ intensity, besides reduction of resorption of alveolar bone and furcation area, and TRAP+ and CTSK+ cells compared with the NT group. Periodontitis or UMB treatment did not affect the animals systemically. CONCLUSION UMB improved periodontitis by reducing inflammation and bone markers.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a prevalent oral ailment that harms both hard and soft tissues of the periodontium, leading to loosening and eventual removal of the teeth. Current clinical treatments have limitations in achieving complete periodontal tissue regeneration. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have garnered attention due to their unique characteristics and potential as a promising new therapy for periodontitis. Research suggests that the role of MSCs in regenerative medicine primarily occurs through the paracrine pathway, involving the emission of particles encased by lipids called extracellular vesicles (EVs) abundant in bioactive compounds. These EVs play a vital function in controlling the activities of periodontal tissues and immune system cells, and by influencing the immediate surrounding, thus fostering the healing of periodontal damage and renewal of tissues. EVs obtained from MSCs (MSC-EVs), in the form of a cell-free treatment, offer advantages in terms of stability, reduced immune rejection, and ethical considerations, elevating their potential as a hopeful choice for broad clinical applications. This concise overview highlights the mechanisms of MSC-EVs and the possibilities they hold in clinical application for periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Increasing evidence suggests a link between middle ear inflammation and the development of diesel exhaust particles (DEPs). Chronic middle ear inflammation can lead to bone damage and remodeling. This study aimed to explore the impact of DEPs on the expression of interleukin (IL)-6 and RANKL under conditions of middle ear inflammation. METHODS DEPs were collected by burning fuel in a diesel engine at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology. Human middle ear epithelial cells were cultured to 70-80% confluence in culture plates and then treated with DEPs at concentrations of 0, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 μg/mL for 24 h. Cell viability was assessed manually. B6.SJL mice, aged 9 weeks, were exposed to DEPs at a concentration of 200 μg/m3 for 1 h daily over a period of 28 days. The expression levels of IL-6, tumor necrosis factor α, RANKL, and RANK were evaluated using hematoxylin and eosin staining and western blot analysis of the harvested middle ear samples. RESULTS The viability of human middle ear epithelial cells was found to decrease in a dose-dependent manner after 24 h. The mRNA expression level of IL-6 exhibited the most significant increase at the 48-h mark. In contrast, the mRNA expression levels of RANKL and RANK showed a marked increase as early as 6 h post-exposure, with both genes subsequently displaying a time-dependent decrease. Histological analysis revealed that the middle ear mucosa was thicker in the group exposed to DEPs compared to the control group. Additionally, the protein expression levels of IL-6 and RANKL were elevated in the DEP-exposed group relative to the normal control group. CONCLUSIONS We confirmed the expression of osteoclast-related proteins in the mouse middle ear. These results imply that air pollutants might affect RANKL/RANK signaling, which is associated with bone remodeling.

Abstract
Inflammatory chemicals are released by the immune system in response to any perceived danger, including irritants and pathogenic organisms. The caspase activation and the response of inflammation are governed by inflammasomes, which are sensors and transmitters of the innate immune system. They have always been linked to swelling and pain. Research has mainly concentrated on the NOD-like protein transmitter 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. Interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-18 are pro-inflammatory cytokines that are activated by the NOD-like antibody protein receptor 3 (NLRP3), which controls innate immune responses. The NLRP3 inflammasome has been associated with gum disease and other autoimmune inflammatory diseases in several studies. Scientists' discovery of IL-1's central role in the pathophysiology of numerous autoimmune disorders has increased public awareness of these conditions. The first disease to be connected with aberrant inflammasome activation was the autoinflammatory cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS). Targeted therapeutics against IL-1 have been delayed in development because their underlying reasons are poorly understood. The NLRP3 inflammasome has recently been related to higher production and activation in periodontitis. Multiple periodontal cell types are controlled by the NLRP3 inflammasome. To promote osteoclast genesis, the NLRP3 inflammasome either increases receptor-activator of nuclear factor kappa beta ligand (RANKL) synthesis or decreases osteoclast-promoting gene (OPG) levels. By boosting cytokines that promote inflammation in the periodontal ligament fibroblasts and triggering apoptosis in osteoblasts, the NLRP3 inflammasome regulates immune cell activity. These findings support further investigation into the NLRP3 inflammasome as a therapeutic target for the medical treatment of periodontitis. This article provides a short overview of the NLRP3 inflammatory proteins and discusses their role in the onset of autoinflammatory disorders (AIDs) and periodontitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic periodontitis triggers an increase in osteoclastogenesis, with glycolysis playing a crucial role in this process. Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is a critical enzyme involved in glycolysis and pyruvate metabolism. Yet, the precise function of PKM2 in osteoclasts and their formation remains unclear and requires further investigation. METHODS Bioinformatics was used to investigate critical biological processes in osteoclastogenesis. In vitro, osteoclastogenesis was analyzed using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, phalloidin staining, quantitative real‑time PCR (RT-qPCR), and Western blotting. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) of PKM2 and Shikonin, a specific inhibitor of PKM2, were used to verify the role of PKM2 in osteoclastogenesis. The mouse model of periodontitis was used to assess the effect of shikonin on bone loss. Analyses included micro computed tomography, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, TRAP staining and HE staining. RESULTS Bioinformatic analysis revealed a significant impact of glycolysis and pyruvate metabolism on osteoclastogenesis. Inhibition of PKM2 leads to a significant reduction in osteoclastogenesis. In vitro, co-culture of the heat-killed Porphyromonas gingivalis significantly promoted osteoclastogenesis, concomitant with an increased PKM2 expression in osteoclasts. Shikonin weakened the promoting effect of porphyromonas gingivalis on osteoclastogenesis. In vivo experiments demonstrated that inhibition of PKM2 by shikonin alleviated bone loss induced by periodontitis, suppressed excessive osteoclastogenesis in alveolar bone, and reduced tissue inflammation to some extent. CONCLUSION PKM2 inhibition by shikonin, a specific inhibitor of this enzyme, attenuated osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption in periodontitis. Shikonin appears to be a promising therapeutic agent for treating periodontitis.

Abstract
The immune-stromal cell interactions play a key role in health and diseases. In periodontitis, the most prevalent infectious disease in humans, immune cells accumulate in the oral mucosa and promote bone destruction by inducing receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) expression in osteogenic cells such as osteoblasts and periodontal ligament cells. However, the detailed mechanism underlying immune-bone cell interactions in periodontitis is not fully understood. Here, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis on mouse periodontal lesions and showed that neutrophil-osteogenic cell crosstalk is involved in periodontitis-induced bone loss. The periodontal lesions displayed marked infiltration of neutrophils, and in silico analyses suggested that the neutrophils interacted with osteogenic cells through cytokine production. Among the cytokines expressed in the periodontal neutrophils, oncostatin M (OSM) potently induced RANKL expression in the primary osteoblasts, and deletion of the OSM receptor in osteogenic cells significantly ameliorated periodontitis-induced bone loss. Epigenomic data analyses identified the OSM-regulated RANKL enhancer region in osteogenic cells, and mice lacking this enhancer showed decreased periodontal bone loss while maintaining physiological bone metabolism. These findings shed light on the role of neutrophils in bone regulation during bacterial infection, highlighting the novel mechanism underlying osteoimmune crosstalk.

Bone Formation and Maintenance in Oral Surgery: The Decisive Role of the Immune System-A Narrative Review of Mechanisms and Solutions. Bioengineering (Basel) 2024; 11:191.

Abstract
Based on the evidence of a significant communication and connection pathway between the bone and immune systems, a new science has emerged: osteoimmunology. Indeed, the immune system has a considerable impact on bone health and diseases, as well as on bone formation during grafts and its stability over time. Chronic inflammation induces the excessive production of oxidants. An imbalance between the levels of oxidants and antioxidants is called oxidative stress. This physio-pathological state causes both molecular and cellular damage, which leads to DNA alterations, genetic mutations and cell apoptosis, and thus, impaired immunity followed by delayed or compromised wound healing. Oxidative stress levels experienced by the body affect bone regeneration and maintenance around teeth and dental implants. As the immune system and bone remodeling are interconnected, bone loss is a consequence of immune dysregulation. Therefore, oral tissue deficiencies such as periodontitis and peri-implantitis should be regarded as immune diseases. Bone management strategies should include both biological and surgical solutions. These protocols tend to improve immunity through antioxidant production to enhance bone formation and prevent bone loss. This narrative review aims to highlight the relationship between inflammation, oxidation, immunity and bone health in the oral cavity. It intends to help clinicians to detect high-risk situations in oral surgery and to propose biological and clinical solutions that will enhance patients' immune responses and surgical treatment outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontitis is a chronic oral inflammatory disease that seriously affects people's quality of life. The purpose of our study was to investigate the correlation between the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) and periodontitis by utilizing a large national survey. This will establish a reference for the early identification and management of periodontitis. METHODS This study comprised the adult US population who participated in a national periodontitis surveillance project during the six years from 2009 to 2014. Through the utilization of univariate and multivariate weighted logistic regression, we investigated the correlation between the systemic immune inflammation index and periodontitis. Additionally, we employed sensitivity analyses to evaluate the robustness of our findings. RESULTS The study involved 10,366 participants with an average age of 51.00 years, of whom 49.45% were male (N = 5126) and 50.55% were female (N = 5240). The prevalence of periodontitis is estimated to be about 38.43% in the US adults aged 30 or older population. Our logistic regression models indicated a positive association between a SII higher than 978 × 109/L and periodontitis. The elder group (aged 50 or older) with SII higher than 978 × 109/L demonstrated a significant correlation with periodontitis in the fully adjusted model (Odds Ratio [OR] = 1.409, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 1.037, 1.915, P = 0.022). However, there is no statistical difference among adults aged 30 to 50. The robustness of our findings was confirmed through sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS Our study highlights that SII is associated with periodontitis in a nationally representative sample of US adults. And the SII is significantly associated with a high risk of periodontitis in individuals aged 50 or older.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With effective antiretroviral therapy, people with HIV (PWH) are living longer and aging; the majority of PWH in the United States are now over the age of 50 and in women have gone through the menopause transition. Menopause potentiates skeletal bone loss at the spine, hip, and radius in PWH. The alveolar bone which surronds the teeth is different than long bones because it is derived from the neural crest. However, few studies have assessed the oral health and alveolar bone in middle aged and older women with HIV. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate periodontal disease and alveolar bone microarchitecture in postmenopausal women with HIV. METHODS 135 self-reported postmenopausal women were recruited (59 HIV-, 76 HIV + on combination antiretroviral therapy with virological suppression) from a single academic center. The following parameters were measured: cytokine levels (IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-13, IL-17 A, OPG, and RANKL) in gingival crevicular fluid, bleeding on probing, probing depth, clinical attachment loss, number of teeth present, alveolar crestal height, and alveolar bone microarchitecture. RESULTS The mean age of participants was 57.04+/-6.25 years and a greater proportion of women with HIV were black/African American (HIV + 68.42%, HIV- 23.73%; p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in bleeding on probing (p = 0.17) and attachment loss (p = 0.39) between women who were HIV infected vs. HIV uninfected. Women with HIV had significantly higher RANKL expression in Gingival Crevicular Fluid (HIV + 3.80+/-3.19 pg/ul, HIV- 1.29+/-2.14 pg/ul ; p < 0.001), fewer teeth present (HIV + 17.75+/-7.62, HIV- 22.79+/-5.70; p < 0.001), ), lower trabecular number (HIV + 0.08+/-0.01, HIV- 0.09+/-0.02; p = 0.004) and greater trabecular separation (HIV + 9.23+/-3.11, HIV- 7.99+/-3.23; p = 0.04) compared to women without HIV that remained significant in multivariate logistic regression analysis in a sub-cohort after adjusting for age, race/ethnicity, smoking status, and diabetes. CONCLUSION Postmenopausal women with HIV have deterioration of the alveolar trabecular bone microarchitecture that may contribute to greater tooth loss.

Abstract
Persistent host inflammatory and immune responses to biofilm play a critical role in the mechanisms that govern soft and hard tissue destruction in periodontal disease. Among the less explored facets of these mechanisms are chemokines, including CCL5 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 5), also known as RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted), a proinflammatory CC subfamily chemokine synthesized by T lymphocytes. Despite its importance, there is currently no comprehensive review of the role of CCL5 in periodontitis in the literature. Therefore, this paper aims to fill this gap by summarizing the existing knowledge on the involvement of CCL5 in the onset and progression of periodontitis. In addition, we aim to stimulate interest in this relatively overlooked factor among periodontitis researchers, potentially accelerating the development of drugs targeting CCL5 or its receptors. The review examines the association of CCL5 with periodontitis risk factors, including aging, cigarette smoking, diabetes, and obesity. It discusses the involvement of CCL5 in pathological processes during periodontitis, such as connective tissue and bone destruction. The data show that CCL5 expression is observed in affected gums and gingival crevicular fluid of periodontitis patients, with bacterial activity contributing significantly to this increase, but the reviewed studies of the association between CCL5 expression and periodontal disease have yielded inconclusive results. Although CCL5 has been implicated in the pathomechanism of periodontitis, a comprehensive understanding of its molecular mechanisms and significance remains elusive, hindering the development of drugs targeting this chemokine or its receptors.

Abstract
Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is achieved by the simultaneous activation of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. When orthodontic forces are applied, osteoclast-mediated bone resorption occurs in the alveolar bone on the compression side, creating space for tooth movement. Therefore, controlling osteoclastogenesis is the fundamental tenet of orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic forces are sensed by osteoblast lineage cells such as periodontal ligament (PDL) cells and osteocytes. Of several cytokines produced by these cells, the most important cytokine promoting osteoclastogenesis is the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), which is mainly supplied by osteoblasts. Additionally, osteocytes embedded within the bone matrix, T lymphocytes in inflammatory conditions, and PDL cells produce RANKL. Besides RANKL, inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor-α, and prostaglandin E2 promote osteoclastogenesis under OTM. On the downside, excessive osteoclastogenesis activation triggers orthodontically-induced external root resorption (ERR) through pro-osteoclastic inflammatory cytokines. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of osteoclastogenesis during OTM is essential in reducing the adverse effects of orthodontic treatment. Here, we review the current concepts of the mechanisms underlying osteoclastogenesis in OTM and orthodontically induced ERR.

Abstract
Dental tissue infections have been affecting millions of patients globally leading to pain, severe tissue damage, or even tooth loss. Commercial sterilizers may not be adequate to prevent frequent dental infections. Antimicrobial hydrogels have been introduced as an effective therapeutic strategy for endodontics and periodontics since they have the capability of imitating the native extracellular matrix of soft tissues. Hydrogel networks are considered excellent drug delivery platforms due to their high-water retention capacity. In this regard, drugs or nanoparticles can be incorporated into the hydrogels to endow antimicrobial properties as well as to improve their regenerative potential, once biocompatibility criteria are met avoiding high dosages. Herein, novel antimicrobial hydrogel formulations were discussed for the first time in the scope of endodontics and periodontics. Such hydrogels seem outstanding candidates especially when designed not only as simple volume fillers but also as smart biomaterials with condition-specific adaptability within the dynamic microenvironment of the defect site. Multifunctional hydrogels play a pivotal role against infections, inflammation, oxidative stress, etc. along the way of dental regeneration. Modern techniques (e.g., 3D and 4D-printing) hold promise to develop the next generation of antimicrobial hydrogels together with their limitations such as infeasibility of implantation.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a widely used technique in preclinical and clinical studies due to its predictability. Its main purpose is to prevent the migration of soft tissue into the osseous wound space, while allowing osseous cells to migrate to the site. GBR is classified into two main categories: resorbable and non-resorbable membranes. Resorbable membranes do not require a second surgery but tend to have a short resorption period. Conversely, non-resorbable membranes maintain their mechanical strength and prevent collapse. However, they require removal and are susceptible to membrane exposure. GBR is often used with bone substitute graft materials to fill the defect space and protect the bone graft. The membrane can also undergo various modifications, such as surface modification and biological factor loading, to improve barrier functions and bone regeneration. In addition, bone regeneration is largely related to osteoimmunology, a new field that focuses on the interactions between bone and the immune system. Understanding these interactions can help in developing new treatments for bone diseases and injuries. Overall, GBR has the potential to be a powerful tool in promoting bone regeneration. Further research in this area could lead to advancements in the field of bone healing. This review will highlight resorbable and non-resorbable membranes with cellular responses during bone regeneration, provide insights into immunological response during bone remodeling, and discuss antibacterial features.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontal diagnosis is based on recording clinical parameters including bleeding on probing (BOP), probing pocket depth (PPD), and clinical attachment loss (CAL). These techniques may be prone to errors due to different factors. Available biomarkers in the oral biofluid such as interleukin (IL)-1β could provide solutions for these issues. The study aimed to determine the potential of salivary IL-1β to differentiate periodontal health from disease and between gingivitis and periodontitis. METHODS Patients with gingivitis (N.=25), periodontitis (N.=50), and healthy periodontium (N.=25) were recruited for this study. For each patient, whole unstimulated saliva was collected followed by recording periodontal parameters namely; Plaque Index (PI), BOP, PPD, CAL. Level of salivary IL-1β was assayed by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Sensitivity and specificity of IL-1β, to differentiate any given condition, was determined by Receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the curve (AUC). RESULTS Both BOP and PI were significantly higher in association with gingivitis and periodontitis groups as compared to controls. Concentration of salivary IL-1β in periodontal health was significantly lower than gingivitis and periodontitis groups. The biochemical analyses showed that salivary IL-1β differentiated periodontal health from gingivitis (AUC 0.949) and periodontitis (AUC 0.852) but could not discriminate gingivitis from periodontitis (AUC 0.532). The proposed cut-off points to differentiate periodontal health from gingivitis was 103.8 pg/mL, while the value of the biomarker to differentiate periodontal health from periodontitis was 102.0 pg/mL. CONCLUSIONS Salivary IL-1β could be a reliable biomarker with a good level of accuracy to differentiate periodontal health from disease but not to discriminate gingivitis from periodontitis.

Abstract
Periodontitis is an inflammatory and destructive disease of tooth-supporting tissue and has become the leading cause of adult tooth loss. The most central pathological features of periodontitis are tissue damage and inflammatory reaction. As the energy metabolism center of eukaryotic cells, mitochondrion plays a notable role in various processes, such as cell function and inflammatory response. When the intracellular homeostasis of mitochondrion is disrupted, it can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and inability to generate adequate energy to maintain basic cellular biochemical reactions. Recent studies have revealed that mitochondrial dysfunction is closely related to the initiation and development of periodontitis. The excessive production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, imbalance of mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics, mitophagy and mitochondrial DNA damage can all affect the development and progression of periodontitis. Thus, targeted mitochondrial therapy is potentially promising in periodontitis treatment. In this review, we summarize the above mitochondrial mechanism in the pathogenesis of periodontitis and discuss some potential approaches that can exert therapeutic effects on periodontitis by modulating mitochondrial activity. The understanding and summary of mitochondrial dysfunction in periodontitis might provide new research directions for pathological intervention or treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
Protecting the function of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) is crucial for bone regeneration in periodontitis. Forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1) has been previously reported as a crucial mediator in bone homeostasis, providing a favorable environment for osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. In this study, we investigated the effect and mechanism of FoxO1 agonists on the osteogenesis of PDLSCs under inflammatory conditions. In this study, we screened FoxO1 agonists by detecting their effects on the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. Then, the function of these agonists in bone regeneration was analyzed in the periodontitis model. We found that hyperoside or 2-furoyl-LIGRLO-amide trifluoroacetate salt (2-Fly) promoted osteogenic differentiation under inflammation by simultaneously inhibiting nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) activation, β-catenin expression, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Moreover, local injection of hyperoside or 2-Fly rescued the expression of FoxO1 and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) in vivo, alleviating alveolar bone loss and periodontal ligament damage. These findings suggested that FoxO1 agonists exerted a protective effect on osteogenesis in PDLSCs, as a result, facilitating bone formation under inflammatory conditions. Taken together, FoxO1 might serve as a therapeutic target for bone regeneration in periodontitis by mediating multiple signaling pathways.

Abstract
Periodontal diseases and dental caries are the most common infectious oral diseases impacting oral health globally. Oral cavity health is crucial for enhancing life quality since it serves as the entranceway to general health. The oral microbiome and oral infectious diseases are strongly correlated. Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria have been associated with periodontal diseases. Due to the shortcomings of several antimicrobial medications frequently applied in dentistry, the lack of resources in developing countries, the prevalence of oral inflammatory conditions, and the rise in bacterial antibiotic resistance, there is a need for reliable, efficient, and affordable alternative solutions for the prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases. Several accessible chemical agents can alter the oral microbiota, although these substances also have unfavorable symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and tooth discoloration. Natural phytochemicals generated from plants that have historically been used as medicines are categorized as prospective alternatives due to the ongoing quest for substitute products. This review concentrated on phytochemicals or herbal extracts that impact periodontal diseases by decreasing the formation of dental biofilms and plaques, preventing the proliferation of oral pathogens, and inhibiting bacterial adhesion to surfaces. Investigations examining the effectiveness and safety of plant-based medicines have also been presented, including those conducted over the past decade.

[PMID: 36849060 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2023.115463] [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: 01/23/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2023] [Indexed: 02/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis, a systemic metabolic bone disease, is often caused by the disruption of dynamic equilibrium between osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Overactive bone resorption, in which osteoclasts play a major role, is one of the most common and major causes of osteoporosis. Less costly and more effective drug treatments for this disease are needed. Based on the combination of molecular docking techniques and in vitro cell assays, this study aimed to explore the mechanism by which Isoliensinine (ILS) protects the bone loss by inhibiting osteoclast differentiation. METHODS A virtual docking model based on molecular docking technology was used to investigate the interactions between ILS and the Receptor Activator of Nuclear Kappa-B (RANK)/Receptor Activator of Nuclear Kappa-B Ligand (RANKL).In this study, we determined the effective dose of action of ILS to inhibit osteoclast differentiation in vitro and, using bone resorption experiments, RT-CPR and Western Blot investigated the effects of ILS on bone resorption function and normal expression of osteoclast-associated genes and proteins, and validated potential mechanistic pathways. In vivo experiments revealed that ILS could inhibit bone loss through Micro-CT results. Finally, the molecular interaction between ILS and RANK/RANKL was investigated using biomolecular interaction experiments to verify the correctness and accuracy of the computational results. RESULTS ILS binds to RANK and RANKL proteins, respectively, through virtual molecular docking. The Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) experiment results revealed that phosphorylated JNK, ERK, P38, and P65 expression was significantly downregulated when ILS were targeted to inhibit RANKL/RANK binding. At the same time, the expression of IKB-a was significantly increased under the stimulation of ILS, which rescued the degradation of IKB-a. ILS can significantly inhibit the levels of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Ca2 + concentration in vitro. Finally, the results of Micro-CT showed that ILS can significantly inhibit bone loss in vivo, indicating that ILS has a potential role in the treatment of osteoporosis. CONCLUSION ILS inhibits osteoclast differentiation and bone loss by preventing the normal binding of RANKL/RANK, affecting downstream signaling pathways, including MAPK.NF-KB, ROS, Ca2+, genes, and proteins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The relationship between bone resorption and angiogenesis in peri-implantitis remains to be studied. We constructed a Beagle dog model of peri-implantitis, and extracted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) for culture. The osteogenic ability of BMSCs in the presence of ECs was investigated through an in vitro osteogenic induction model, and its mechanism was initially explored. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The peri-implantitis model was verified by ligation, bone loss was observed by micro-CT, and cytokines were detected by ELISA. The isolated BMSCs and ECs were cultured to detect the expression of angiogenesis, osteogenesis-related proteins, and NF-κB signaling pathway-related proteins. RESULTS 8 weeks after surgery, the peri-implant gums were swollen, and micro-CT showed bone resorption. Compared with the control group, IL-1β, TNF-α, ANGII and VEGF were markedly increased in the peri-implantitis group. In vitro studies found that the osteogenic differentiation ability of BMSCs co-cultured with IECs was decreased, and the expression of NF-κB signaling pathway-related cytokines was increased. CONCLUSION Endothelial cells inhibit the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells through NF-κB signaling in the environment of peri-implantitis, which may become a new target for the treatment of peri-implantitis.

Abstract
Vasohibin-1 (VASH1) is a key inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor-induced angiogenesis. Although the involvement of VASH1 in various pathological processes has been extensively studied, its role in periodontal disease (PD) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the role of VASH1 in PD by focusing on osteoclastogenesis regulation. We investigated VASH1 expression in PD by analyzing data from the online Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and using a mouse ligature-induced periodontitis model. The effects of VASH1 on osteoclast differentiation and osteoclastogenesis-supporting cells were assessed in mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) and human gingival fibroblasts (GFs). To identify the stimulant of VASH1, we used culture broth from Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), a periopathogen. The GEO database and mouse periodontitis model revealed that VASH1 expression was upregulated in periodontitis-affected gingival tissues, which was further supported by immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR analyses. VASH1 expression was significantly stimulated in GFs after treatment with the Pg broth. Direct treatment with recombinant VASH1 protein did not stimulate osteoclast differentiation in BMMs but did contribute to osteoclast differentiation by inducing RANKL expression in GFs through a paracrine mechanism. Small interfering RNA-mediated silencing of VASH1 in GFs abrogated RANKL-mediated osteoclast differentiation in BMMs. Additionally, VASH1-activated RANKL expression in GFs was significantly suppressed by MK-2206, a selective inhibitor of AKT. These results suggest that Pg-induced VASH1 may be associated with RANKL expression in GFs in a paracrine manner, contributing to osteoclastogenesis via an AKT-dependent mechanism during PD progression.

Abstract
Systemic sclerosis is a chronic, autoimmune, multisystemic disease characterized by aberrant extracellular matrix protein deposition and extreme progressive microvasculopathy. These processes lead to damage within the skin, lungs, or gastrointestinal tract, but also to facial changes with physiognomic and functional alterations, and dental and periodontal lesions. Orofacial manifestations are common in SSc but are frequently overshadowed by systemic complications. In clinical practice, oral manifestations of SSc are suboptimally addressed, while their management is not included in the general treatment recommendations. Periodontitis is associated with autoimmune-mediated systemic diseases, including systemic sclerosis. In periodontitis, the microbial subgingival biofilm induces host-mediated inflammation with subsequent tissue damage, periodontal attachment, and bone loss. When these diseases coexist, patients experience additive damage, increasing malnutrition, and morbidity. The present review discusses the links between SSc and periodontitis, and provides a clinical guide for preventive and therapeutical approaches in the management of these patients.

Mechanisms and clinical application potential of mesenchymal stem cells-derived extracellular vesicles in periodontal regeneration. Stem Cell Res Ther 2023; 14:26.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a high prevalence oral disease which damages both the hard and soft tissue of the periodontium, resulting in tooth mobility and even loss. Existing clinical treatment methods cannot fully achieve periodontal tissue regeneration; thus, due to the unique characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), they have become the focus of attention and may be the most promising new therapy for periodontitis. Accumulating evidence supports the view that the role of MSCs in regenerative medicine is mainly achieved by the paracrine pathway rather than direct proliferation and differentiation at the injured site. Various cells release lipid-enclosed particles known as extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are rich in bioactive substances. In periodontitis, EVs play a pivotal role in regulating the biological functions of both periodontal tissue cells and immune cells, as well as the local microenvironment, thereby promoting periodontal injury repair and tissue regeneration. As a cell-free therapy, MSCs-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) have some preponderance on stability, immune rejection, ethical supervision, and other problems; therefore, they may have a broad clinical application prospect. Herein, we gave a brief introduction to MSC-EVs and focused on their mechanisms and clinical application in periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence indicates that psoriasis (PSO) and periodontitis (PD) are likely to occur together, however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS The expression profiles of PSO (lesion vs non-lesion, GSE30999, GSE14905) and PD (affected vs unaffected gingival tissue, GSE16134, GSE10334) were downloaded from the GEO database. First, we investigated the common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of PSO and PD. Then, GO and KEGG enrichment analysis, protein interaction network (PPI) construction, and hub gene identification analysis were carried out. Finally, GO and KEGG enrichment analysis, miRNA interaction analysis, and transcription factors (TFs) interaction analysis for hub genes were performed. RESULTS Eighteen DEGs were identified for further analysis, including 15 up-regulated genes and 3 down-regulated genes. 9 hub genes were then identified via Cytohubba, including IL1B, CXCL1, CXCL8, MMP12, CCL18, SELL, CXCL13, FCGR3B, and SELE. Their functions are mainly enriched in two aspects: neutrophil chemotaxis and migration, chemokine activation and interaction. The enriched signaling pathways includes three categories: host defense, inflammation-related signaling pathways, and disease-related pathways. 9 common miRNAs based on experimental evidence and 10 common TFs were further identified in both PSO and PD. CONCLUSION Our study revealed possible comorbidity mechanisms in PSO and PD from the perspective of bioinformatics tentatively. The data can present new insight for joint prevention and treatment of in PSO and PD, as well as provide data support for further prospective studies.

Diagnostic potential of salivary interleukin-17, RANKL, and OPG to differentiate between periodontal health and disease and discriminate stable and unstable periodontitis: A case-control study. Health Sci Rep 2023; 6:e1103. [PMID: 36778772 PMCID: PMC9900720 DOI: 10.1002/hsr2.1103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 01/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/28/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Aims Limitations of the conventional diagnostic techniques urged researchers to seek novel methods to predict, diagnose, and monitor periodontal disease. Use of the biomarkers available in oral fluids could be a revolutionary surrogate for the manual probing/diagnostic radiograph. Several salivary biomarkers have the potential to accurately discriminate periodontal health and disease. This study aimed to determine the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of salivary interleukin (IL)-17, receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), RANKL/OPG for differentiating (1) periodontal health from disease and (2) stable and unstable periodontitis. Methods Participants with periodontitis (n = 50) and gingivitis (n = 25), both diseases represented the cases, and subjects with healthy periodontium (n = 15) as a control were recruited for this study. Periodontitis cases were further equally subdivided into stable and unstable. Whole unstimulated salivary sample were collected from all participants. Periodontal parameters including bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment loss, and number of missing teeth were recorded. The protein levels of salivary IL-17, RANKL, and OPG were determined by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays technique. Results Salivary IL-17, OPG, RANKL, and RANKL/OPG showed high sensitivity and specificity to differentiate periodontal health from gingivitis and periodontitis. Similar pattern was observed in discriminating stable and unstable periodontitis. Salivary IL-17 and RANKL showed a good accuracy to differentiate gingivitis from periodontitis. However, OPG and RANKL/OPG did not exhibit enough sensitivity and specificity to differentiate the latter conditions. Conclusion Salivary IL-17, RANKL, OPG, and RANKL/OPG system are potential candidates for differentiating periodontal health and disease and discriminate stable and unstable periodontitis.

Aging (Albany NY) 2023; 15:718-733. [PMID: 36750182 PMCID: PMC9970304 DOI: 10.18632/aging.204504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2022] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2023]
Abstract
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) plays a dual role in regulating bone metabolism, although the concrete mechanism is unclear. Bone morphogenetic protein 9 (BMP9) is one of the most potent osteogenic inducers, and a promising alternative for bone tissue engineering. The relationship between IL-6 and BMP9 in osteogenic differentiation remains to be elucidated, and the osteoblastic potential of BMP9 needs to be enhanced to overcome certain shortcomings of BMP9. In this study, we used real-time PCR, western blot, immunofluorescent stain, fetal limb culture and cranial defects repair model to explore the IL-6 role in BMP9-induced osteogenic differentiation in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). We found that the rat serum level of IL-6 was increased in the dexamethasone-induced osteoporosis model, and IL-6 expression was detectable in several progenitor cells and MEFs. BMP9 upregulated IL-6 in MEFs, and the BMP9-induced osteoblastic markers were elevated by IL-6, but reduced by IL-6 knockdown. BMP9 and/or IL-6 both activated mTOR, and the IL-6 effect on BMP9-induced osteoblastic markers and bone formation were reduced greatly by mTOR inhibition. Raptor was up-regulated by IL-6 and/or BMP9 specifically, and the osteoblastic markers induced by IL-6 and/or BMP9 were reduced by Raptor knockdown. Meanwhile, Stat-3 was activated by IL-6 and/or BMP9, and the increase of Raptor or osteoblastic markers by IL-6 and/or BMP9 were reduced by Stat-3 inhibition. The Raptor promoter activity was regulated by p-Stat-3. Our finding suggested that IL-6 can promote the BMP9 osteoblastic potential, which may be mediated through activating Stat-3/mTORC1 pathway.

Abstract
PURPOSE Tooth extraction is a last resort treatment for resolving pathological complications of dentition induced by infection and injury. Although the extraction wound generally heals uneventfully, resulting in the formation of an edentulous residual ridge, some patients experience long-term and severe residual ridge reduction. The objective of this review was to provide a contemporary understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that may potentially cause edentulous jawbone resorption. STUDY SELECTION Clinical, in vivo, and in vitro studies related to the characterization of and cellular and molecular mechanisms leading to residual ridge resorption. RESULTS The alveolar processes of the maxillary and mandibular bones uniquely juxtapose the gingival tissue. The gingival oral mucosa is an active barrier tissue that maintains homeostasis of the internal organs through its unique barrier immunity. Tooth extraction not only generates a bony socket but also injures oral barrier tissue. In response to wounding, the alveolar bone socket initiates regeneration and remodeling through coupled bone formation and osteoclastic resorption. Osteoclasts are also found on the external surface of the alveolar bone, interfacing the oral barrier tissue. Osteoclasts in the oral barrier region are not coupled with osteoblastic bone formation and often remain active long after the completion of wound healing, leading to a net decrease in the alveolar bone structure. CONCLUSIONS The novel concept of oral barrier osteoclasts may provide important clues for future clinical strategies to maintain residual ridges for successful prosthodontic and restorative therapies.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is an infectious disease that affects many people worldwide. Disease progression destroys the alveolar bone and causes tooth loss. We have previously shown that alymphoplasia (aly/aly) mice harboring a loss-of-function mutation in the map3k14 gene, which is involved in p100 to p52 processing of the alternative NF-κB pathway, exhibited mild osteopetrosis due to decreased number of osteoclasts, suggesting the alternative NF-κB pathway as a potential drug target for the amelioration of bone disease. In the present study, wild-type (WT) and aly/aly mice were subjected to silk ligation to establish a periodontitis model. Alveolar bone resorption was suppressed in aly/aly mice by decreased numbers of osteoclasts in the alveolar bone in comparison to WT mice. Furthermore, the expression of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) and TNFα (cytokines involved in osteoclast induction in periligative gingival tissue) was decreased. When primary osteoblasts (POBs) and bone marrow cells (BMCs) derived from WT and aly/aly mice were prepared and co-cultured, osteoclasts were induced from WT-derived BMCs, regardless of the origin of the POBs, but hardly formed from aly/aly mouse-derived BMCs. Furthermore, the local administration of an NIK inhibitor, Cpd33, inhibited osteoclast formation and thereby inhibited alveolar bone resorption in the periodontitis model. Therefore, the NIK-mediated NF-κB alternative pathway can be a therapeutic target for periodontal disease.

Abstract
Periodontitis and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract that share common features of microbial-induced ecological dysregulation and host immune inflammatory response. The close relationship between periodontitis and IBD is characterized by a higher prevalence of IBD in patients with periodontitis and a higher prevalence and severity of periodontitis in patients with IBD, indicating that periodontitis and IBD are different from the traditional independent diseases and form an "Oral-Gut" axis between the two, which affect each other and thus form a vicious circle. However, the specific mechanisms leading to the association between the two are not fully understood. In this article, we describe the interconnection between periodontitis and IBD in terms of microbial pathogenesis and immune dysregulation, including the ectopic colonization of the gut by pathogenic bacteria associated with periodontitis that promotes inflammation in the gut by activating the host immune response, and the alteration of the oral microbiota due to IBD that affects the periodontal inflammatory response. Among the microbial factors, pathogenic bacteria such as Klebsiella, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum may act as the microbial bridge between periodontitis and IBD, while among the immune mechanisms, Th17 cell responses and the secreted pro-inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α play a key role in the development of both diseases. This suggests that in future studies, we can look for targets in the "Oral-Gut" axis to control and intervene in periodontal inflammation by regulating periodontal or intestinal flora through immunological methods.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is characterized by inflammation of the periodontal tissue and subsequent destruction of the alveolar bone. It is one of the most common infectious diseases in humans, being the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Recently, it has been shown that the receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) produced by osteoblasts and periodontal ligament fibroblasts critically contributes to the bone destruction caused by periodontal disease. Activation of the immune system plays an important role in the induction of RANKL during periodontal inflammation. Here we discuss the molecular mechanisms of periodontal bone destruction by focusing on the osteoimmune molecule RANKL.

Abstract
Osteoimmunology is at full display during endosseous implant osseointegration. Bone formation, maintenance and resorption at the implant surface is a result of bidirectional and dynamic reciprocal communication between the bone and immune cells that extends beyond the well-defined osteoblast-osteoclast signaling. Implant surface topography informs adherent progenitor and immune cell function and their cross-talk to modulate the process of bone accrual. Integrating titanium surface engineering with the principles of immunology is utilized to harness the power of immune system to improve osseointegration in healthy and diseased microenvironments. This review summarizes current information regarding immune cell-titanium implant surface interactions and places these events in the context of surface-mediated immunomodulation and bone regeneration. A mechanistic approach is directed in demonstrating the central role of osteoimmunology in the process of osseointegration and exploring how regulation of immune cell function at the implant-bone interface may be used in future control of clinical therapies. The process of peri-implant bone loss is also informed by immunomodulation at the implant surface. How surface topography is exploited to prevent osteoclastogenesis is considered herein with respect to peri-implant inflammation, osteoclastic precursor-surface interactions, and the upstream/downstream effects of surface topography on immune and progenitor cell function.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is predominantly caused by the pathogenic bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis that produces inflammation-inducing factors in the host. Eucommia ulmoides is a plant native to China that has been reported to reduce blood pressure, promote weight loss, and exhibit anti-inflammatory effects. Geniposidic acid (GPA) is the major component of E. ulmoides. Herein, we investigated the effects of GPA on P. gingivalis-induced periodontitis by measuring the inflammatory responses in human gingival epithelial cells (HGECs) after P. gingivalis stimulation and GPA addition in a P. gingivalis-induced periodontitis mouse model. We found that GPA addition suppressed interleukin (IL)-6 mRNA induction (33.8% suppression), IL-6 production (69.2% suppression), toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 induction, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation in HGECs stimulated by P. gingivalis. Inoculation of mice with GPA inhibited P. gingivalis-induced alveolar bone resorption (25.6% suppression) by suppressing IL-6 and TLR2 production in the serum and gingiva. GPA suppressed osteoclast differentiation of bone marrow cells induced by M-CSF and sRANKL in mice (56.7% suppression). GPA also suppressed the mRNA expression of OSCAR, NFATc1, c-Fos, cathepsin K, and DC-STAMP. In summary, GPA exerts an anti-inflammatory effect on periodontal tissue and may be effective in preventing periodontal disease.

Abstract
The principles of periodontal therapy are based on the control of microbial pathogens and host factors that contribute to biofilm dysbiosis, with the aim of modulating the progression of periodontitis and periodontal tissue destruction. It is currently known how differently each individual responds to periodontal treatment, depending on both the bacterial subtypes that make up the dysbiotic biofilm and interindividual variations in the host inflammatory response. This has allowed the current variety of approaches for the management of periodontitis to be updated by defining the goals of target strategies, which consist of reducing the periodontopathogenic microbial flora and/or modulating the host-mediated response. Therefore, this review aims to update the current variety of approaches for the management of periodontitis based on recent target therapies. Recently, encouraging results have been obtained from several studies exploring the effects of some targeted therapies in the medium- and long-term. Among the most promising target therapies analyzed and explored in this review include: cell-based periodontal regeneration, mediators against bone resorption, emdogain (EMD), platelet-rich plasma, and growth factors. The reviewed evidence supports the hypothesis that the therapeutic combination of epigenetic modifications of periodontal tissues, interacting with the dysbiotic biofilm, is a key step in significantly reducing the development and progression of disease in periodontal patients and improving the therapeutic response of periodontal patients. However, although studies indicate promising results, these need to be further expanded and studied to truly realize the benefits that targeted therapies could bring in the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
The treatment of periodontitis can be very challenging due to its complex etiologies. A new pharmacologic strategy entitled “host-modulation therapy,” has been introduced to improve periodontal treatment outcomes. Supposedly, a multifunctional drug with the potential for bacterial infection prevention, host-response modulation and bone healing promotion would be a promising option for periodontitis therapy, but related studies remain substantially lacking. In this study, we successfully conjugated tetracycline with odanacatib (a selective inhibitor of cathepsin K) to construct a multifunctional drug (TC-ODN). We discovered that TC-ODN could promote macrophages polarizing toward anti-inflammatory phenotype and promote osteogenesis of PDLSCs under inflammatory microenvironment. In vivo, TC-ODN could be absorbed and distributed specifically to the bone after systemic administration, and accumulation of TC-ODN increased bone mineral density in ovariectomized rats. Importantly, periodontal administration of TC-ODN could successfully promote bone healing in periodontitis rats with alveolar bone loss. The findings in our study uncovered the excellent biocompatibility and multifunction of TC-ODN, including bone-targeted accumulation, immunoregulation, anti-inflammatory activity and promotion of bone healing, which might contribute to the clinical treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
Osteoclasts, the only cells that can resorb bone, play a central role in bone homeostasis as well as bone damage under pathological conditions such as osteoporosis, arthritis, periodontitis, and bone metastasis. Recent studies using single-cell technologies have uncovered the regulatory mechanisms underlying osteoclastogenesis at unprecedented resolution and shed light on the possibility that there is heterogeneity in the origin, function, and fate of osteoclast-lineage cells. Here, we discuss the current advances and emerging concepts in osteoclast biology.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of smoking on clinical parameters and the serum and saliva levels of RANKL, OPG, and IL-34 in periodontitis stage III grade C (III-C) patients after non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT).
Methods: A total of 60 subjects, 40 periodontitis-III-C patients (20 smokers and 20 non-smokers) and 20 non-smoker periodontally healthy individuals, were included. All clinical periodontal parameters were recorded, and unstimulated saliva and serum samples were collected from all patients at baseline, but at 1 and 3 months only from periodontitis patients (N=40). Saliva and serum levels of RANKL, OPG, and IL-34 were analyzed by ELISA.
Results: At baseline only whole mouth probing depth (PD) and percent of sites with PD>5mm were higher in smokers than non-smoker periodontitis patients (p

Abstract
Since the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL), its cognate receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B (RANK), and the decoy receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG) were discovered, a number of studies have uncovered the crucial role of the RANKL-RANK-OPG pathway in controlling the key aspect of bone homeostasis, the immune system, inflammation, cancer, and other systems under pathophysiological condition. These findings have expanded the understanding of the multifunctional biology of the RANKL-RANK-OPG pathway and led to the development of therapeutic potential targeting this pathway. The successful development and application of anti-RANKL antibody in treating diseases causing bone loss validates the utility of therapeutic approaches based on the modulation of this pathway. Moreover, recent studies have demonstrated the involvement of the RANKL-RANK pathway in osteoblast differentiation and bone formation, shedding light on the RANKL-RANK dual signaling in coupling bone resorption and bone formation. In this review, we will summarize the current understanding of the RANKL-RANK-OPG system in the context of the bone and the immune system as well as the impact of this pathway in disease conditions, including cancer development and metastasis.

Abstract
Periodontitis is one of the most common oral diseases resulting in gingival inflammation and tooth loss. Growing evidence indicates that it results from dysbiosis of the oral microbiome, which interferes with the host immune system, leading to bone destruction. Immune cells activate periodontal ligament cells to express the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL) and promote osteoclast activity. Osteocytes have active roles in periodontitis progression in the bone matrix. Local proteins are involved in bone regeneration through functional immunological plasticity. Here, we discuss the current knowledge of cellular and molecular mechanisms in periodontitis, the roles of local proteins, and promising synthetic compounds generating a periodontal regeneration effect. It is anticipated that this may lead to a better perception of periodontitis pathophysiology.

Abstract
The immune dysregulation induced by periodontal bacteria has important roles in the development of periodontitis. However, the role of key periodontal bacteria in local and systemic immunity has not been comprehensively studied. Herein, to explore immunoregulation maps of key periodontal bacteria, a mono-colonized germ-free mice model with P. gingivalis, F. nucleatum, and T. denticola for two weeks was designed in this study. The alveolar bone loss was determined by micro-CT. A total of 14 types of innate and adaptive immune cells of the gingiva, spleen, and colon were detected by multi-color flow cytometry. P. gingivalis induced the strongest innate immune response in gingiva and mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs) changed most significantly, compared to F. nucleatum and T. denticola. Immune dysregulation of the colon was widely induced by F. nucleatum. T. denticola mainly induced immune disorder in spleen. ILC3s, Tregs, CD11B+ dendritic cells s, MNPs, macrophages, and plasmacytoid dendritic cells were the main types in response to key periodontal bacteria. However, the alveolar bone loss was not induced by key periodontal bacteria. In conclusion, the overall immunoregulation of monomicrobial stimuli to decipher the complexities of periodontitis was provided in this study. P. gingivalis, F. nucleatum, and T. denticola have different effects on local and systemic immunity in gingiva, colon, and spleen of germ-free mice.

Int Endod J 2022; 55:480-494. [PMID: 35150455 DOI: 10.1111/iej.13704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2021] [Revised: 01/28/2022] [Accepted: 02/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
AIM Even though IL-6 is a key inflammatory cytokine in periapical lesions (PLs), its function in stable periapical disease is unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate following: first, the ex vivo production of IL-6 by clinically different PLs; next, subsets of immune cells expressing IL-6 in PLs according to their inflammatory status and finally, modulatory effect of IL-6 on T-cell cytokine production in cell cultures. METHODOLOGY Inflammatory cells were isolated from a total of 95 human PLs. Detection of IL-6+ cells within the myeloid and lymphoid populations was performed by multicolour flow cytometry. ELISA and FlowCytomix Microbeads Assay were used to measure cytokine levels in culture supernatants. To study the role of IL-6 in PLs, mononuclear cells (MNC) from symptomatic (Sy) or asymptomatic (Asy) PLs were treated with IL-6 or Tocilizumab, an IL-6R blocking antibody. The differences between groups were tested by unpaired t-test, Mann-Whitney or Friedman tests. RESULTS The levels of IL-6 in PL MNC culture supernatants were significantly higher compared to total PL cells and PL granulocytes (p<0.001). MNC from Sy PLs produced significantly hihger levels of IL-6 than MNC from Asy PLs (p<0.001). Flow cytometry analysis showed that NKT cells, CD8+ T cells and M2 macrophages (MØ), were dominant IL-6+ cells, in contrast to CD4+ T cells. However, CD8+ and CD4+ T cells contributed the most to IL-6 production. IL-6hi producing MNC cultures had higher levels of Th1 (IFN-γ), Th17 (IL-17A), Tfh (IL-21) and RANKL, whereas Th2 (IL-4) and Tregs cytokines (IL-10, TGF-β) were lower, compared to IL-6low producing cultures. Exogenous IL-6 stimulated 17A, IL-21 and RANKL, independently of PL activation status, but decreased IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-33 levels in IL-6hi producing cultures. Tocilizumab increased IL-10 and TGF-β in IL-6low producing cultures. All differences were p<0.05. CONCLUSIONS Most immune cells from Sy PLs expressed higher levels of IL-6 compared to Asy PLs, which correlated with IL-6 production in culture. Analysis of cytokines suggested a dominant pro-inflammatory T-cell response and osteodestructive function of IL-6 in PLs judging by Th17/Tfh cell activation, Tregs inhibition and increased RANKL/OPG ratio. Excessive IL-6 production decreased Th1/Th2 responses.
