Luo S, Zhang L, Li X, Tong C. Annexin A1 protects periodontal ligament cells against lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory response and cellular senescence: An implication in periodontitis.

Abstract
Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition that affects the tooth-supporting structures, triggered by the host's immune response toward the bacterial deposits around the teeth. Annexin A1 (AnxA1), a vital member of the annexin superfamily, is known for its diverse physiological functions, particularly its anti-inflammatory and anti-senescence properties. We hypothesized that AnxA1 has a protective effect against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory responses and cellular damage in periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs). In this study, we demonstrate that LPS stimulation significantly reduced telomerase activity in PDLCs, a decline that was dose-dependently reversed by AnxA1. Importantly, AnxA1 protected the cells from LPS-induced cellular senescence and the downregulation of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression. In line with this, AnxA1 suppressed the LPS-induced expression of p21 and p16 at both the mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, AnxA1 demonstrated potent anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the secretion of interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). It also mitigated LPS-induced oxidative stress by reducing the levels of phosphorylated Foxo3a (Ser253) and restored sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) expression. Notably, SIRT1 silencing abolished AnxA1's protective effects on Foxo3a phosphorylation and cellular senescence, suggesting that SIRT1 mediates AnxA1's actions. In conclusion, AnxA1 protected PDLCs against LPS-triggered inflammation and cell senescence by activating SIRT1 signal pathway. These findings indicate that AnxA1 could serve as a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of periodontitis.

ANXA2 promotes osteogenic differentiation and inhibits cellular senescence of periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) in high glucose conditions. PeerJ 2024; 12:e18064. [PMID: 39308808 PMCID: PMC11416082 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.18064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 08/19/2024] [Indexed: 09/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) are a major component of the periodontal ligament and have an important role in the regeneration of periodontal tissue and maintenance of homeostasis. High glucose can affect the activity and function of PDLCs in a variety of ways; therefore, it is particularly important to find ways to alleviate the effects of high glucose on PDLCs. Annexin A2 (ANXA2) is a calcium- and phospholipid-binding protein involved in a variety of cellular functions and processes, including cellular cytokinesis, cytophagy, migration, and proliferation. Aim The aim of this study was to exploring whether ANXA2 attenuates the deleterious effects of high glucose on PDLCs and promotes osteogenic differentiation capacity. Methods and results Osteogenic differentiation potential, cellular senescence, oxidative stress, and cellular autophagy were detected. Culturing PDLCs with medium containing different glucose concentrations (CTRL, 8 mM, 10 mM, 25 mM, and 40 mM) revealed that high glucose decreased the protein expression of ANXA2 (p < 0.0001). In addition, high glucose decreased the osteogenic differentiation potential of PDLCs as evidenced by decreased calcium deposition (p = 0.0003), lowered ALP activity (p = 0.0010), and a decline in the expression of osteogenesis-related genes (p = 0.0008). Moreover, β-Galactosidase staining and expression of p16, p21 and p53 genes showed that it increased cellular senescence in PDLCs (p < 0.0001). Meanwhile high glucose increased oxidative stress in PDLCs as shown by ROS (p < 0.0001). However, these damages caused by high glucose were inhibited after the addition of 1 µM recombinant ANXA2 (rANXA2), and we found that rANXA2 enhanced autophagy in PDLCs under high glucose conditions. Conclusions and discussion Therefore, our present study demonstrates that alterations in ANXA2 under high glucose conditions may be a factor in the decreased osteogenic differentiation potential of PDLCs. Meanwhile, ANXA2 is associated with autophagy, oxidative stress, and cellular senescence under high glucose conditions.

Metformin enhances the therapeutic effects of extracellular vesicles derived from human periodontal ligament stem cells on periodontitis. Sci Rep 2024; 14:19940.

Abstract
Metformin has shown outstanding anti-inflammatory and osteogenic abilities. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) reveal promising therapeutic potency by carrying various biomolecules. This study explored the effects of metformin on the therapeutic potential of EVs derived from human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) for periodontitis. PDLSCs were cultured in osteogenic medium with or without metformin, and the supernatant was then collected separately to extract EVs and metformin-treated EVs (M-EVs). After identifying the characteristics, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory and osteogenic effects of EVs and M-EVs in vivo and in vitro. Osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs was markedly enhanced after metformin treatment, and the effect was dramatically inhibited by GW4896, an inhibitor of EVs' secretion. Metformin significantly increased EVs' yields and improved their effects on cell proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, metformin significantly enhanced the osteogenic ability of EVs on inflammatory PDLSCs. Animal experiments revealed that alveolar bone resorption was dramatically reduced in the EVs and M-EVs groups when compared to the periodontitis group, while the M-EVs group showed the lowest levels of alveolar bone loss. Metformin promoted the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs partly through EVs pathway and significantly enhanced the secretion of PDLSCs-EVs with superior pro-osteogenic and anti-inflammatory potential, thus improving EVs' therapeutic potential on periodontitis.

Abstract
The metformin molecule dates back to over a century, but its clinical use started in the '50s. Since then, its use in diabetics has grown constantly, with over 150 million users today. The therapeutic profile also expanded, with improved understanding of novel mechanisms. Metformin has a major activity on insulin resistance, by acting on the insulin receptors and mitochondria, most likely by activation of the adenosine monophosphate-activated kinase. These and associated mechanisms lead to significant lipid lowering and body weight loss. An anti-cancer action has come up in recent years, with mechanisms partly dependent on the mitochondrial activity and also on phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase resistance occurring in some malignant tumors. The potential of metformin to raise life-length is the object of large ongoing studies and of several basic and clinical investigations. The present review article will attempt to investigate the basic mechanisms behind these diverse activities and the potential clinical benefits. Metformin may act on transcriptional activity by histone modification, DNA methylation and miRNAs. An activity on age-associated inflammation (inflammaging) may occur via activation of the nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor and changes in gut microbiota. A senolytic activity, leading to reduction of cells with the senescent associated secretory phenotype, may be crucial in lifespan prolongation as well as in ancillary properties in age-associated diseases, such as Parkinson's disease. Telomere prolongation may be related to the activity on mitochondrial respiratory factor 1 and on peroxisome gamma proliferator coactivator 1-alpha. Very recent observations on the potential to act on the most severe neurological disorders, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia, have raised considerable hope.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a type of pluripotent adult stem cell with strong self-renewal and multi-differentiation abilities. Their excellent biological traits, minimal immunogenicity, and abundant availability have made them the perfect seed cells for treating a wide range of diseases. After more than 60 years of clinical practice, metformin is currently one of the most commonly used hypoglycaemic drugs for type 2 diabetes in clinical practice. In addition, metformin has shown great potential in the treatment of various systemic diseases except for type 2 diabetes in recent years, and the mechanisms are involved with antioxidant stress, anti-inflammatory, and induced autophagy, etc. This article reviews the effects and the underlying mechanisms of metformin on the biological properties, including proliferation, multi-differentiation, and aging, of MSCs in vitro and in vivo with the aim of providing theoretical support for in-depth scientific research and clinical applications in MSCs-mediated disease treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer is a fatal disease that severely affects humans. Designing new anticancer strategies and understanding the mechanism of action of anticancer agents is imperative. HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE In this study, we evaluated the utility of metformin and D-limonene, alone or in combination, as potential anticancer therapeutics using the human liver and breast cancer cell lines HepG2 and MCF-7. STUDY DESIGN An integrated systems pharmacology approach is presented for illustrating the molecular interactions between metformin and D-limonene. METHODS We applied a systems-based analysis to introduce a drug-target-pathway network that clarifies different mechanisms of treatment. The combination treatment of metformin and D-limonene induced apoptosis in both cell lines compared with single drug treatments, as indicated by flow cytometric and gene expression analysis. RESULTS The mRNA expression of Bax and P53 genes were significantly upregulated while Bcl-2, iNOS, and Cox-2 were significantly downregulated in all treatment groups compared with normal cells. The percentages of late apoptotic HepG2 and MCF-7 cells were higher in all treatment groups, particularly in the combination treatment group. Calculations for the combination index (CI) revealed a synergistic effect between both drugs for HepG2 cells (CI = 0.14) and MCF-7 cells (CI = 0.22). CONCLUSION Our data show that metformin, D-limonene, and their combinations exerted significant antitumor effects on the cancer cell lines by inducing apoptosis and modulating the expression of apoptotic genes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral health is of fundamental importance to maintain systemic health in humans. Stem cell-based oral tissue regeneration is a promising strategy to achieve the recovery of impaired oral tissue. As a highly conserved process of lysosomal degradation, autophagy induction regulates stem cell function physiologically and pathologically. Autophagy activation can serve as a cytoprotective mechanism in stressful environments, while insufficient or over-activation may also lead to cell function dysregulation and cell death. AIM OF REVIEW This review focuses on the effects of autophagy on stem cell function and oral tissue regeneration, with particular emphasis on diverse roles of autophagy in different oral tissues, including periodontal tissue, bone tissue, dentin pulp tissue, oral mucosa, salivary gland, maxillofacial muscle, temporomandibular joint, etc. Additionally, this review introduces the molecular mechanisms involved in autophagy during the regeneration of different parts of oral tissue, and how autophagy can be regulated by small molecule drugs, biomaterials, exosomes/RNAs or other specific treatments. Finally, this review discusses new perspectives for autophagy manipulation and oral tissue regeneration. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW Overall, this review emphasizes the contribution of autophagy to oral tissue regeneration and highlights the possible approaches for regulating autophagy to promote the regeneration of human oral tissue.

Abstract
The junctional epithelium (JE) serves a crucial protective role in the periodontium. High glucose-related aging results in accelerated barrier dysfunction of the gingival epithelium, which may be associated with diabetic periodontitis. Metformin, an oral hypoglycemic therapeutic, has been proposed as a anti-aging agent. This study aimed to clarify the effect of metformin on diabetic periodontitis and explore its mechanism in ameliorating senescence of JE during hyperglycemia. The db/db mice was used as a diabetic model mice and alterations in the periodontium were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry. An ameloblast-like cell line (ALC) was cultured with high glucose to induce senescence. Cellular senescence and oxidative stress were evaluated by SA-β-gal staining and Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Senescence biomarkers, P21 and P53, and autophagy markers, LC3-II/LC3-I, were measured by western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR. To construct a stable SIRT1 (Sirtuin 1) overexpression cell line, we transfected ALCs with lentiviral vectors overexpressing the mouse SIRT1 gene. Cellular senescence was increased in the JE of db/db mice and the periodontium was destroyed, which could be alleviated by metformin. Moreover, oxidative stress and cellular senescence in a high glucose environment were reduced by metformin in in-vitro assays. The autophagy inhibitor 3-MA and SIRT1 inhibitor EX-527 could dampen the effects of metformin. Overexpression of SIRT1 resulted in increased autophagy and decreased oxidative stress and cellular senescence. Meanwhile, AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) inhibition reversed the anti-senescence effects of metformin. Overall, these results suggest that metformin alleviates periodontal damage in db/db mice and cellular senescence in ALCs under high glucose conditions via the AMPK/SIRT1/autophagy pathway.

[PMID: 37605414 DOI: 10.2174/1386207326666230821102623] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontitis (PD) is a multifactorial inflammatory disease that is closely associated with periodontopathic bacteria. Numerous studies have demonstrated oxidative stress (OS) contributes to inflammation and is a prime factor in the development of PD. It is imperative to explore the function of newly discovered hub genes associated with OS in the advancement of PD, thereby identifying potential targets for therapeutic intervention. OBJECTIVES The goal of the current study was to identify the oxidative-stress-related genes (OSRGs) associated with periodontitis (PD) development using an integrated bioinformatics method. METHODS DEGs from GEO gene-expression data were identified using the "limma" package. We obtained OSRGs from GeneCards and utilized a Venn diagram to uncover differentially expressed OSRGs (DEOSRGs). After receiving the DEOSRGs, we employed Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analytical tools to examine their possible functions and pathways in PD. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves screened for hub genes of PD. RT-qPCR and western blot analysis were used to detect DEOSRG expression in mouse ligature-induced periodontitis gingival tissues. RESULTS The investigation identified 273 OSRGs. Based on PPI analysis, we recognized 20 OSRGs as hub genes. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that these hub genes were predominantly enriched in leukocyte migration, lymphocyte proliferation, and humoral immune response, and associated with leukocyte trans-endothelial migration, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, and NF-κB signaling pathway. Following ROC analysis, VCAM1, ITGAM, FCGR3A, IL1A, PECAM1, and VCAM1were identified as PD prognostic gene. RT-qPCR and western blot analyses confirmed that the expression ITGAM, FCGR3A, and PECAM1 were significantly elevated in the gingival tissues obtained from mice. CONCLUSION This investigation revealed that ITGAM, FCGR3A, and PECAM1 may have a crucial function in the advancement of PD.

Abstract
Ageing is an inevitable aspect of life and thus successful ageing is an important focus of recent scientific efforts. The biological process of ageing is mediated through the interaction of genes with environmental factors, increasing the body's susceptibility to insults. Elucidating this process will increase our ability to prevent and treat age-related disease and consequently extend life expectancy. Notably, centenarians offer a unique perspective on the phenomenon of ageing. Current research highlights several age-associated alterations on the genetic, epigenetic and proteomic level. Consequently, nutrient sensing and mitochondrial function are altered, resulting in inflammation and exhaustion of regenerative ability.Oral health, an important contributor to overall health, remains underexplored in the context of extreme longevity. Good masticatory function ensures sufficient nutrient uptake, reducing morbidity and mortality in old age. The relationship between periodontal disease and systemic inflammatory pathologies is well established. Diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and cardiovascular disease are among the most significant disease burdens influenced by inflammatory oral health conditions. Evidence suggests that the interaction is bi-directional, impacting progression, severity and mortality. Current models of ageing and longevity neglect an important factor in overall health and well-being, a gap that this review intends to illustrate and inspire avenues for future research.

BMC Oral Health 2023; 23:922.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontitis triggers tooth loss and affects the health of population worldwide. Emerging evidence hints that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in various diseases, including periodontitis. This study aimed to investigate the role of circ_0099630 in the progression of periodontitis. METHODS Periodontitis cell model was constructed by treating human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs) with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Quantitative real-time PCR was used to analyze the expression of circ_0099630, microRNA-409-3p (miR-409-3p) and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) mRNA. Western blot was used for detecting protein levels of TLR4, cleaved-caspase 3, Bcl-2, CyclinD1 and NF-κB signaling markers. For function analyses, cell proliferation was assessed by CCK-8 assay and EdU assay. The releases of pro-inflammation factors were monitored by ELISA kits. The potential relationship between miR-409-3p and circ_0099630 or TLR4 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RIP assay and pull-down assay. RESULTS The expression of circ_0099630 and TLR4 was elevated in periodontitis patients and LPS-treated HPDLCs. LPS induced HPDLC proliferation inhibition, apoptosis and inflammatory responses, while circ_0099630 knockdown or TLR4 knockdown alleviated these injuries. Besides, TLR4 overexpression reversed the inhibitory effect of circ_0099630 knockdown on LPS-induced HPDLC injuries. Mechanism analysis showed that circ_0099630 positively regulated TLR4 expression by acting as miR-409-3p sponge. MiR-409-3p restoration largely ameliorated LPS-induced HPDLC injuries by depleting TLR4. Moreover, LPS activated the NF-κB signaling pathway, while circ_0099630 knockdown inhibited the activity of NF-κB signaling via the miR-409-3p/TLR4 axis. CONCLUSION Circ_0099630 knockdown relieved LPS-induced HPDLC injury by miR-409-3p/TLR4 axis, suggesting that circ_0099630 might be a potential target for periodontitis treatment.

Abstract
In the face of global pathogens such as influenza (flu) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), strategies beyond standard vaccines and virus-specific treatments are critically needed for older populations who are more susceptible to severe disease and death from these infections due to age-related immune dysregulation. Thus, complimentary therapeutics are needed to address the increased risk of complications and death in older adults. Metformin, an FDA approved diabetes drug, is an attractive therapeutic candidate to improve immune defenses and resilience in older adults facing viral challenge. Metformin is already a candidate anti-aging drug, but its benefits have potential to span beyond this and improve specific immune responses. Metformin can target multiple aging hallmarks as well as directly impact innate and adaptive immune cell subsets. Both retrospective and prospective studies have demonstrated metformin's efficacy in improving outcomes after SARS-CoV-2 or flu infections. Moreover, evidence from clinical trials has also suggested that metformin treatment can improve vaccination responses. In totality, these findings suggest that metformin can improve age-related declines in immunological resilience. Strategies to improve outcomes after infection or improve vaccine-induced protection are invaluable for older adults. Moreover, the ability to repurpose an already FDA approved drug has significant advantages in terms of necessary time and resources. Thus, metformin has great potential as a therapeutic to improve age-related immune dysregulation during flu and SARS-CoV-2 infections and should be further explored to confirm its ability to improve overall immunological resilience in older adults.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a type of chronic inflammatory oral disease characterized by the destruction of periodontal connective tissue and progressive alveolar bone resorption. As oxidative stress is the key cause of periodontitis in the early periodontal microenvironment, antioxidative therapy has been considered a viable treatment for periodontitis. However, more stable and effective reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging nanomedicines are still highly needed due to the instability of traditional antioxidants. Herein, a new type of N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC)-derived red fluorescent carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) has been synthesized with excellent biocompatibility, which can serve as an extracellular antioxidant to scavenge ROS effectively. Moreover, NAC-CPDs can promote osteogenic differentiation in human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) under H2 O2 stimulation. In addition, NAC-CPDs are capable of targeted accumulation in alveolar bone in vivo, reducing the level of alveolar bone resorption in periodontitis mice, as well as performing fluorescence imaging in vitro and in vivo. In terms of mechanism, NAC-CPDs may regulate redox homeostasis and promote bone formation in the periodontitis microenvironment by modulating the kelch-like ECH-associated protein l (Keap1)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway. This study provides a new strategy for the application of CPDs theranostic nanoplatform for periodontitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Cigarette smoking has been reported as an independent risk factor for periodontitis. Tobacco toxins affect periodontal tissue not only locally but also systemically, leading to the deterioration and recurrence of periodontitis. However, the mechanism of cigarette smoke-related periodontitis (CSRP) is unclear and thus lacks targeted treatment strategies. Quercetin, a plant-derived polyphenolic flavonoid, has been reported to have therapeutic effects on periodontitis due to its documented antioxidant activity. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of quercetin on CSRP and elucidated the underlying mechanism. METHODS The cigarette smoke-related ligature-induced periodontitis mouse model was established by intraperitoneal injection of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) and silk ligation of bilateral maxillary second molars. Quercetin was adopted by gavage as a therapeutic strategy. Micro-computed tomography was used to evaluate the alveolar bone resorption. Immunohistochemistry detected the oxidative stress and autophagy markers in vivo. Cell viability was determined by Cell Counting Kit-8, and oxidative stress levels were tested by 2,7-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate probe and lipid peroxidation malondialdehyde assay kit. Alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red staining were used to determine osteogenic differentiation. Network pharmacology analysis, molecular docking, and western blot were utilized to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism. RESULTS Alveolar bone resorption was exacerbated and oxidative stress products were accumulated during CSE exposure in vivo. Oxidative stress damage induced by CSE caused inhibition of osteogenic differentiation in vitro. Quercetin effectively protected the osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) and periodontal tissue by upregulating the expression of Beclin-1 thus to promote autophagy and reduce oxidative stress damage. CONCLUSION Our results established a role of oxidative stress damage and autophagy dysfunction in the mechanism of CSE-induced destruction of periodontal tissue and hPDLCs, and provided a potential application value of quercetin to ameliorate CSRP.

Abstract
This study aimed to characterize aging-induced tendinopathy in mouse Achilles tendon and also to assess the treatment effects of metformin (Met) on aging tendon. We showed that compared to young tendon, aging tendon was in an inflammatory and senescent state as shown by increased expression of inflammatory disulfide HMGB1 (dsHMGB1), inflammatory macrophage marker CD68, and senescent cell markers SA-β-gal, p53, and p16. Moreover, aging tendon was degenerated marked by accumulation of proteoglycans and lipids in its interior. However, treatment of aging tendon by intraperitoneal (IP) injection of Met, a specific inhibitor of HMGB1, reduced dsHMGB1 levels, decreased the expression of CD68, SA-β-gal, CCN1, and p16 in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, Met treatment also increased the number of NS, SSEA-1, and CD73 positive stem cells in culture and improved the tendon structure in aging mouse. These findings of this study indicate that Met exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-senescent effects on aging tendon.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of metformin (MF) treatment on the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and proinflammatory cytokines production from lipopolysaccharide (LPS) - stimulated human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). METHODS HGFs were obtained from subcultures of biopsies from clinically healthy gingival tissues of patients undergoing oral surgeries. Cell cytotoxicity assay was used to determine the effect of different concentrations of MF on viability of HGFs. HGFs were then incubated and treated with different concentrations of MF and Porphyromonas gingivais (Pg) LPS. MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-8, MMP-9, IL-1β, and IL-8 expression analysis was performed using xMAP technology (Luminex 200, Luminex, Austin, TX, USA). Student's t-test for a single sample was used to compare the mean values of the study groups with the control value. A p-value of <0.05 and 95% confidence intervals were used to report the statistical significance and precision of mean values. RESULTS Concentrations of 0.5, 1- and 2-mM MF had a minimal non-significant cytotoxic effect on the HGFs and caused statistically significant reduction of MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-8 and IL-8 expressed by the LPS-stimulated HGFs. CONCLUSION The results of the present study confirm that MF suppresses MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-8 and IL-8 in LPS-stimulated HGFs suggesting an anti-inflammatory effect of MF and potential adjunct therapeutic role in the treatment of periodontal diseases.

Abstract
Aging involves tissue and cell potential dysfunction characterized by stem cell senescence and extracellular matrix microenvironment (ECM) alteration. Chondroitin sulfate (CS), found in the ECM of normal cells and tissues, aids in maintaining tissue homeostasis. Here, CS-derived biomaterial (CSDB) from sturgeon is extracted to investigate its antiaging effect in senescence-accelerated mouse prone-8 (SAMP8) mice and elucidate the underlying mechanism of its action. Although CSDB has been widely extracted from different sources and used as a scaffold, hydrogel, or drug carrier for the treatment of various pathological diseases, CSDB has not yet been used as a biomaterial for the amelioration of senescence and aging features. In this study, the extracted sturgeon CSDB showed a low molecular weight and comprised 59% 4-sulfated CS and 23% 6-sulfated CS. In an in vitro study, sturgeon CSDB promoted cell proliferation and reduced oxidative stress to inhibit stem cell senescence. In an ex vivo study, after oral CSDB treatment of SAMP8 mice, the stem cells were extracted to analyze the p16Ink4a and p19Arf gene-related pathways, which were inhibited and then SIRT-1 gene expression was upregulated to reprogram stem cells from a senescence state for retarding aging. In an in vivo study, CSDB also restored the aging-phenotype-related bone mineral density and skin morphology to prolong longevity. Thus, sturgeon CSDB may be useful for prolonging healthy longevity as an anti-aging drug.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease initiated by pathogenic biofilms and host immunity that damages tooth-supporting tissues, including the gingiva, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. The physiological functions of the oral cavity, such as saliva secretion and chewing, greatly reduce the residence of therapeutic drugs in the area of a periodontal lesion. In addition, complex and diverse pathogenic mechanisms make effectively treating periodontitis difficult. Therefore, designing advanced local drug delivery systems and rational therapeutic strategies are the basis for successful periodontitis treatment. Hydrogels have attracted considerable interest in the field of periodontitis treatment due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability and convenient administration to the periodontal pocket. In recent years, the focus of hydrogel research has shifted to smart stimuli-responsive hydrogels, which can undergo flexible sol-gel transitions in situ and control drug release in response to stimulation by temperature, light, pH, ROS, glucose, or enzymes. In this review, we systematically introduce the development and rational design of emerging smart stimuli-responsive hydrogels for periodontitis treatment. We also discuss the state-of-the-art therapeutic strategies of smart hydrogels based on the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Additionally, the challenges and future research directions of smart hydrogels for periodontitis treatment are discussed from the perspective of developing efficient hydrogel delivery systems and potential clinical applications.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening medical emergency, frequently complicated with intensive care unit-acquired weakness syndrome (ICU-AW). ICU-AW patients display flaccid weakness of the limbs, especially in the proximal limb muscles. However, little is known regarding its pathogenesis. Here, we aimed to identify the potential signaling pathway involved in ICU-AW regulation and identify a potential therapeutic drug for intervention. Methods: Both in vivo and in vitro septic mice were used. For the in vivo septic mice, either cecum ligation and puncture or intraperitoneal injection of LPS was conducted in mice. The body weight and muscle mass were then measured and recorded. Muscle strength was evaluated by limb grip strength test. The expression of proteins extracted from cells and muscles was checked through Western blot analysis. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was carried out to test the transcriptional level of genes. Senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining and Sirius red for collagen staining were conducted. Metformin, as an antiaging agent, was then tested for any attenuation of sepsis-related symptoms. For in vitro sepsis modeling, myoblasts were treated with LPS, analyzed for senescence-related protein expression, and subsequently retested upon metformin treatment. Results: We found that both the weight and strength of muscle were dramatically reduced in cecum ligation and puncture- or LPS-induced septic mice. RNA-seq analysis revealed that various cellular senescent genes were involved in sepsis. In line with this, expression of senescence-related genes, p53 and p21 were both upregulated. Both SA-β-gal and Sirius red for collagen staining were enhanced in tibialis anterior muscles. Notably, inhibition of p53 expression by siRNA prominently reduced the number of SA-β-gal-positive myoblasts upon LPS treatment. This indicated sepsis-induced cellular senescence to be dependent on p53. Consistent with the function of metformin in antiaging, metformin attenuated cellular senescence in both murine myoblasts and skeletal muscles during sepsis. Muscle strength of septic mice was improved upon metformin treatment. Metformin intervention is therefore proposed as a potential therapeutic strategy for ICU-AW. Conclusion: Taken together, we revealed a previously unappreciated linkage between cellular senescence and sepsis-induced muscle weakness and propose metformin as a potential therapeutic drug for the treatment of ICU-AW.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) aggravates periodontitis, resulting in accelerated periodontal bone resorption. Disordered glucose metabolism in DM causes reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction resulting in compromised bone healing, which makes diabetic periodontal bone regeneration a major challenge. Inspired by the natural bone healing cascade, a mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN)-incorporated PDLLA (poly(dl-lactide))-PEG-PDLLA (PPP) thermosensitive hydrogel with stepwise cargo release is designed to emulate the mesenchymal stem cell "recruitment-osteogenesis" cascade for diabetic periodontal bone regeneration. During therapy, SDF-1 quickly escapes from the hydrogel due to diffusion for early rat bone marrow stem cell (rBMSC) recruitment. Simultaneously, slow degradation of the hydrogel starts to gradually expose the MSNs for sustained release of metformin, which can scavenge the overproduced ROS under high glucose conditions to reverse the inhibited osteogenesis of rBMSCs by reactivating the AMPK/β-catenin pathway, resulting in regulation of the diabetic microenvironment and facilitation of osteogenesis. In vitro experiments indicate that the hydrogel markedly restores the inhibited migration and osteogenic capacities of rBMSCs under high glucose conditions. In vivo results suggest that it can effectively recruit rBMSCs to the periodontal defect and significantly promote periodontal bone regeneration under type 2 DM. In conclusion, our work provides a novel therapeutic strategy of a bioinspired drug-delivery system emulating the natural bone healing cascade for diabetic periodontal bone regeneration.

Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound enhances immunomodulation and facilitates osteogenesis of human periodontal ligament stem cells by inhibiting the NF-κB pathway. Cell Tissue Bank 2023; 24:45-58.

Abstract
Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) are vital in cellular regeneration and tissue repair due to their multilineage differentiation potential. Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been applied for treating bone and cartilage defects. This study explored the role of LIPUS in the immunomodulation and osteogenesis of hPDLSCs. hPDLSCs were cultured in vitro, and the effect of different intensities of LIPUS (30, 60, and 90 mW/cm2) on hPDLSC viability was measured. hPDLSCs irradiated by LIPUS and stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and LIPUS (90 mW/cm2) were co-cultured with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Levels of immunomodulatory factors in hPDLSCs and inflammatory factors in PBMCs were estimated, along with determination of osteogenesis-related gene expression in LIPUS-irradiated hPDLSCs. The mineralized nodules and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of hPDLSCs and levels of IκBα, p-IκBα, and p65 subunits of NF-κB were determined. hPDLSC viability was increased as LIPUS intensity increased. Immunomodulatory factors were elevated in LIPUS-irradiated hPDLSCs, and inflammatory factors were reduced in PBMCs. Osteogenesis-related genes, mineralized nodules, and ALP activity were promoted in LIPUS-irradiated hPDLSCs. The cytoplasm of hPDLSCs showed increased IκBα and p65 and decreased p-IκBα at increased LIPUS intensity. After LPS and LIPUS treatment, the inhibitory effect of LIPUS irradiation on the NF-κB pathway was partially reversed, and the immunoregulation and osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs were decreased. LIPUS irradiation enhanced immunomodulation and osteogenic differentiation abilities of hPDLSCs by inhibiting the NF-κB pathway, and the effect is dose-dependent. This study may offer novel insights relevant to periodontal tissue engineering.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory condition triggered by oral bacteria. A sustained inflammatory state in periodontitis could eventually destroy the alveolar bone. The key objective of periodontal therapy is to terminate the inflammatory process and reconstruct the periodontal tissues. The traditional Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedure has unstable results due to multiple factors such as the inflammatory environment, the immune response caused by the implant, and the operator's technique. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), as acoustic energy, transmits the mechanical signals to the target tissue to provide non-invasive physical stimulation. LIPUS has positive effects in promoting bone regeneration, soft-tissue regeneration, inflammation inhibition, and neuromodulation. LIPUS can maintain and regenerate alveolar bone during an inflammatory state by suppressing the expression of inflammatory factors. LIPUS also affects the cellular behavior of periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs), thereby protecting the regenerative potential of bone tissue in an inflammatory state. However, the underlying mechanisms of the LIPUS therapy are still yet to be summarized. The goal of this review is to outline the potential cellular and molecular mechanisms of periodontitis-related LIPUS therapy, as well as to explain how LIPUS manages to transmit mechanical stimulation into the signaling pathway to achieve inflammatory control and periodontal bone regeneration.

Abstract
Background The relationship between internal root resorption and oxidative stress has not yet been reported. This study aimed to add molecular insight into internal root resorption. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an inducer of oxidative stress on the calcification ability of human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) and the involvement of inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate (IP3). Material and methods hDPCs (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) were exposed to H2O2. Cell viability and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were then evaluated. To investigate the effect of H2O2 on the calcification ability of hDPCs, real-time PCR for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) mRNA expression, ALP staining, and Alizarin red staining were performed. Data were compared with those of hDPCs pretreated with 2-aminoethyldiphenylborate (2-APB), which is an IP3 receptor inhibitor. Results H2O2 at concentrations above 250 µM significantly reduced cell viability (P < 0.01). More ROS production occurred in 100 µM H2O2-treated hDPCs than in control cells (P < 0.01). 2-APB significantly decreased the production (P < 0.05). H2O2-treated hDPCs showed significant reductions in ALP mRNA expression (P < 0.01), ALP activity (P < 0.01), and mineralized nodule deposition compared with negative control cells (P < 0.01). 2-APB significantly inhibited these reductions (P < 0.01, P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively). Data are representative of three independent experiments with three replicates for each treatment and values are expressed as means ± SD. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study documenting the involvement of IP3 signaling in the calcification ability of human dental pulp cells impaired by H2O2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Periodontitis, the most common chronic inflammation characterized by persistent alveolar bone resorption in the periodontitis, affects almost half of the adult population worldwide. Oxidative stress is one of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying periodontitis, which affects the occurrence and development of periodontitis. Exosomes are increasingly recognized as vehicles of intercellular communication and are closely related to periodontitis. However, the effects of oxidative stress on exosome secretion and the specific mechanisms remain elusive in human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs). The relationship between exosome secretion and the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs also needs to be investigated. METHODS Isolated PDLSCs were identified using flow cytometry. Osteogenesis was measured using alizarin red staining and ALP staining. Expression of exosomal markers and PRMT1 was analyzed using western blot. Immunofluorescence was used to measure exosome uptake and the expression of EEA1. RESULTS The secretion capacity of exosomes was markedly suppressed under oxidative stress. Protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) has been strongly associated with both oxidative stress and inflammation, and PRMT1 was significantly upregulated under oxidative stress conditions. Lentivirus-mediated overexpression of PRMT1 caused a significant reduction in the secretion of exosomes, but multivesicular bodies (MVBs) containing a large number of intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) were increased. Rab11a and Rab27a expression, which mediate MVBs fusion with cell membranes, decreased, although this phenomenon was restored after knocking down PRMT1 expression under oxidative stress. CONCLUSIONS These results indicated that PRMT1 mediated a decrease in exosome secretion of hPDLCs. The decrease in Rab11a and Rab27a leads to a large accumulation of MVBs in cells and is one of the main reasons for impaired exosome secretion. The decrease in osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs caused by H2 O2 may originate in part from the inhibition of exosome secretion.

Abstract
Dental implants are prosthetic devices that are surgically placed in direct contact with the jawbone to support intra-oral functions and esthetics. Diabetes mellitus may contribute to peri-implant bone loss. During the last few years, there have been attempts to reduce this bone loss and improve the survival rate of implants. Metformin, an anti-diabetic drug known for its osteogenic properties, is thought to prevent peri-implant bone loss in diabetic patients. Although several studies have been conducted to study metformin's effect on diabetic and non-diabetic study models, no systematic review has analyzed and summarized these studies critically. Therefore, the objectives of this systematic review were to summarize the outcomes of these studies and critically appraise them. Seven studies were included in this systematic review. Four studies used only animal models, two used both animal and cell culture models, and one used only cell culture studies. The general characteristics and outcomes of the included studies were summarized, and Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo Experiments (ARRIVE) guidelines were used to assess the quality of the animal studies. In vitro studies indicate that metformin may induce stem cells to undergo osteoblastic differentiation to produce a higher amount of bone and may also improve osseointegration. Nevertheless, several studies had potential sources of bias. Therefore, it is recommended that emphasis be placed on increasing the quality of future animal studies and human trials to determine the effects of metformin on the osseointegration of dental implants. Future studies are needed with adequate follow-up to evaluate the efficacy of metformin in improving the osseointegration of dental implants.

Sung JY, Kim SG, Kang YJ, Choi HC. Metformin mitigates stress-induced premature senescence by upregulating AMPKα at Ser485 phosphorylation induced SIRT3 expression and inactivating mitochondrial oxidants. Mech Ageing Dev 2022; 206:111708. [PMID: 35863470 DOI: 10.1016/j.mad.2022.111708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Revised: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
The senescence of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is an important cause of cardiovascular disease such as atherosclerosis and hypertension. These senescence may be triggered by many factors, such as oxidative stress, inflammation, DNA damage, and senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASPs). Mitochondrial oxidative stress induces cellular senescence, but the mechanisms by which mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) regulates cellular senescence are still largely unknown. Here, we investigated the mechanism responsible for the anti-aging effect of metformin by examining links between VSMC senescence and mtROS in in vitro and in vivo. Metformin was found to increase p-AMPK (Ser485), but to decrease senescence-associated phenotypes and protein levels of senescence markers during ADR-induced VSMC senescence. Importantly, metformin decreased mtROS by inducing the deacetylation of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) by increasing SIRT3 expression. Moreover, AMPK depletion reduced the expression of SIRT3 and increased the expression of acetylated SOD2 despite metformin treatment, suggesting AMPK activation by metformin is required to protect against mitochondrial oxidative stress by SIRT3. This study provides mechanistic evidence that metformin acts as an anti-aging agent and alleviates VSMC senescence by upregulating mitochondrial antioxidant induced p-AMPK (Ser485)-dependent SIRT3 expression, which suggests metformin has therapeutic potential for the treatment of age-associated vascular disease.

Abstract
Modern understanding of aging is based on the accumulation of cellular damage during one’s life span due to the gradual deterioration of regenerative mechanisms in response to the continuous effect of stress, lifestyle, and environmental factors, followed by increased morbidity and mortality. Simultaneously, the number of senescent cells accumulate exponentially as organisms age. Cell culture models are valuable tools to investigate the mechanisms of aging by inducing cellular senescence in stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS) models. Here, we explain the three-step and one-step H2O2-induced senescence models of SIPS designed and reproduced on different human dermal fibroblast cell lines (CCD-1064Sk, CCD-1135Sk, and BJ-5ta). In both SIPS models, it was evident that the fibroblasts developed similar aging characteristics as cells with replicative senescence. Among the most noticeable senescent biomarkers were increased β-Gal expression, high levels of the p21 protein, altered levels of cell-cycle regulators (i.e., CDK2 and c-Jun), compromised extracellular matrix (ECM) composition, reduced cellular viability, and delayed wound healing properties. Based on the significant increase in senescence biomarkers in fibroblast cultures, reduced functional activity, and metabolic dysfunction, the one-step senescence model was chosen as a feasible and reliable method for future testing of anti-aging compounds.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of metformin in improving platelet dysfunction in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). PATIENTS AND METHODS A randomized controlled trial was conducted on pregnant women diagnosed with GDM. Singleton low-risk pregnancies meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated at 27-31 weeks to receive metformin and placebo through the rest of pregnancy. Thirty-seven and 39 cases were recruited into the metformin group and the placebo group, respectively. MPVs, P-selectin, and 8-isoprostane levels were determined at the time of allocation and 6 weeks after treatment. Obstetric and neonatal outcomes were also assessed. RESULTS Most baseline characteristics of the two groups were comparable. The levels of P-selectin after 6 weeks of treatment were significantly higher in the metformin group (68.9 ± 14.4 vs 60.6 ± 11.3; P-value = 0.006), indicating more platelet activation. All of the obstetric and neonatal outcomes were comparable except that birth weight was significantly lower in the metformin group (3018 ± 364 g vs 3204 ± 393 g; P-value = 0.037). CONCLUSION Metformin, in addition to diet and lifestyle modifications, does not improve or worsen oxidative stress and platelet dysfunction in women with GDM. Nevertheless, metformin significantly reduces fetal weight in women with GDM, theoretically preventing macrosomia.

Abstract
Diabetes is accompanied by several complications. Higher prevalence of cancers, cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease (CKD), obesity, osteoporosis, and neurodegenerative diseases has been reported among patients with diabetes. Metformin is the oldest oral antidiabetic drug and can improve coexisting complications of diabetes. Clinical trials and observational studies uncovered that metformin can remarkably prevent or alleviate cardiovascular diseases, obesity, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), osteoporosis, cancer, periodontitis, neuronal damage and neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), tuberculosis, and COVID-19. In addition, metformin has been proposed as an antiaging agent. Numerous mechanisms were shown to be involved in the protective effects of metformin. Metformin activates the LKB1/AMPK pathway to interact with several intracellular signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms. The drug modifies the biologic function of NF-κB, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, SIRT1/PGC-1α, NLRP3, ERK, P38 MAPK, Wnt/β-catenin, Nrf2, JNK, and other major molecules in the intracellular signaling network. It also regulates the expression of noncoding RNAs. Thereby, metformin can regulate metabolism, growth, proliferation, inflammation, tumorigenesis, and senescence. Additionally, metformin modulates immune response, autophagy, mitophagy, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and apoptosis and exerts epigenetic effects. Furthermore, metformin protects against oxidative stress and genomic instability, preserves telomere length, and prevents stem cell exhaustion. In this review, the protective effects of metformin on each disease will be discussed using the results of recent meta-analyses, clinical trials, and observational studies. Thereafter, it will be meticulously explained how metformin reprograms intracellular signaling pathways and alters molecular and cellular interactions to modify the clinical presentations of several diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and periodontitis are two biologically linked diseases that often coexist in complex interaction. While periodontitis may lead to insulin receptor desensitization, diabetes may increase the expression of inflammatory cytokines, such as Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) and Interleukin 6 (IL-6), in the gingival crevicular fluid and activate osteoclasts via Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANK-L) production, leading to bone resorption. However, the association between the two diseases processes, where one may exacerbate the progression of the other, is unclear. In addition, both diseases have similar mechanistic themes, such as chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. This review aimed to investigate the pathophysiological and molecular mechanisms underlying T2DM and periodontitis. HIGHLIGHT Uncontrolled diabetes is often associated with severe periodontitis, measured by clinical attachment loss. Alteration in the oral microbiome composition, which may activate the host inflammatory response and lead to irreversible oxidative stress, is a common finding in both diseases. An understanding of the molecular crosstalk between the two disease processes is crucial for developing therapeutic targets that inhibit bone resorption and halt the progression of periodontitis in patients with diabetes. CONCLUSION The Oral microbiome composition in T2DM and periodontitis shifts toward dysbiosis, favoring bacterial pathogens, such as Fusobacteria and Porphyromonas species. Both conditions are marked by pro-inflammatory immune activity via the activation of Interleukin 17 (IL-17), Interleukin 1 (IL-1), TNF-α, and Nuclear Factor Kappa Beta (NF-κB). Common molecular crosstalk signaling appears to involve advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and oxidative stress. Thus, future drug targets are multifactorial, ranging from modulatory of host inflammatory response to preventing the accumulation of AGEs and oxidative free radicals.

Abstract
Senotherapeutics are new drugs that can modulate senescence phenomena within tissues and reduce the onset of age-related pathologies. Senotherapeutics are divided into senolytics and senomorphics. The senolytics selectively kill senescent cells, while the senomorphics delay or block the onset of senescence. Metformin has been used to treat diabetes for several decades. Recently, it has been proposed that metformin may have anti-aging properties as it prevents DNA damage and inflammation. We evaluated the senomorphic effect of 6 weeks of therapeutic metformin treatment on the biology of human adipose mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). The study was combined with a proteome analysis of changes occurring in MSCs’ intracellular and secretome protein composition in order to identify molecular pathways associated with the observed biological phenomena. The metformin reduced the replicative senescence and cell death phenomena associated with prolonged in vitro cultivation. The continuous metformin supplementation delayed and/or reduced the impairment of MSC functions as evidenced by the presence of three specific pathways in metformin-treated samples: 1) the alpha-adrenergic signaling, which contributes to regulation of MSCs physiological secretory activity, 2) the signaling pathway associated with MSCs detoxification activity, and 3) the aspartate degradation pathway for optimal energy production. The senomorphic function of metformin seemed related to its reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activity. In metformin-treated samples, the CEBPA, TP53 and USF1 transcription factors appeared to be involved in the regulation of several factors (SOD1, SOD2, CAT, GLRX, GSTP1) blocking ROS.

Abstract
Metformin has been extensively used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, and it may also promote healthy aging. Despite its widespread use and versatility, metformin's mechanisms of action remain elusive. The gut typically harbors thousands of bacterial species, and as the concentration of metformin is much higher in the gut as compared to plasma, it is plausible that microbiome-drug-host interactions may influence the functions of metformin. Detrimental perturbations in the aging gut microbiome lead to the activation of the innate immune response concomitant with chronic low-grade inflammation. With the effectiveness of metformin in diabetes and antiaging varying among individuals, there is reason to believe that the gut microbiome plays a role in the efficacy of metformin. Metformin has been implicated in the promotion and maintenance of a healthy gut microbiome and reduces many age-related degenerative pathologies. Mechanistic understanding of metformin in the promotion of a healthy gut microbiome and aging will require a systems-level approach. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Volume 62 is January 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

Abstract
Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide owing to the increasing proportion of elderly individuals in the population. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether metformin could alleviate the occurrence and development of age‐related cataract (ARC) and the underlying mechanism. In the present study, we established a senescence model induced by oxidative stress, which was confirmed by measuring β‐galactosidase activity, qRT‐PCR and Western blotting. In addition, we showed that metformin alleviated the oxidative stress‐induced senescence of HLE‐B3 cells via the activation of AMPK. Next, we provided evidence that oxidative stress impaired autophagic flux and induced lysosomal dysfunction. Subsequently, we found that metformin restored autophagic flux that had been impaired by oxidative stress by activating AMPK. Additionally, we found that metformin suppressed HLE‐B3 cell senescence by improving lysosomal function and inactivating mTOR. Furthermore, the inactivation of AMPK, impairment of autophagic flux and lysosomal dysfunction were observed in the human lens epithelium of ARC. In summary, our data suggest that the activation of AMPK may be a potential strategy for preventing ARC, and metformin may be an emerging candidate to alleviate the formation and development of ARC.

Abstract
Periodontal defect regeneration in severe periodontitis remains a challenging task in clinic owing to poor survival of seed cells caused by the remaining oxidative stress microenvironment. Recently, the reduction of prolyl hydroxylase domain-containing protein 2 (PHD2), a primary cellular oxygen sensor, has shown an incredible extensive effect on skeletal muscle tissue regeneration by improving cell resistance to reactive oxygen species, whereas its role in periodontal defect repair is unclear. Here, through lentivirus vector-mediated RNA interference, the PHD2 gene in human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) is silenced, leading to hypoxia-inducible factor-1α stabilization in normoxia. In vitro, PHD2 silencing not only exhibited a satisfactory effect on cell proliferation, but also induced distinguished osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs. Real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting revealed significant up-regulation of osteocalcin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), runt-related transcription factor 2, and collagen type I (COL I). Under oxidative stress conditions, COL I and ALP expression levels, suppressed by 100 μM H2 O2 , were elevated by PHD2-gene-silencing in hPDLCs. In vivo, periodontal fenestration defects were established in 18 female Sprague-Dawley rats aged 6 wk old, followed by implantation of PHD2 silencing hPDLCs in situ for 21 d. Persistent and stable silencing of PHD2 in hPDLCs promoted better new bone formation according to microcomputed tomography 3D reconstruction and related bone parameter analysis.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic periodontal disease that contributes to tooth loss. In recent years, many animal studies have reported that vitamin D (VitD) deficiency results in chronic periodontitis. However, no studies have reported cases of early-onset periodontitis with VitD deficiency. This study reports a 5-year-old male patient with early-onset periodontitis, VitD deficiency and VitD receptor (VDR) mutation. The patient was treated with VitD and calcium, and received systematic periodontal treatment. During the 12-year treatment, the periodontal conditions of this patient were stable. Our in vitro study found that VitD could promote the expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), bone gamma-carboxyglutamate protein (BGLAP), and VDR in the early osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). Meanwhile, VitD could downregulate mRNA expression levels of Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Interleukin-8 (IL-8), Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and protein levels of IL-6 in the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) -induced inflammation of PDLSCs. Therefore, sufficient VitD supply can be a potential treatment for VitD deficiency induced early-onset periodontitis.

Abstract
Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) has been widely observed worldwide. The OTM process is involved in several biological activities and can result in temporary hypoxia. The dynamic changes of autophagy and apoptosis during OTM have not, to the best of our knowledge, been previously reported. In the present study, an OTM animal model was established. Periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) and osteoclasts were investigated using H&E and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining. The changes in the expression levels of certain autophagy and apoptotic markers were investigated using immunohistochemical staining. A significant decrease in PDLC and an increase in osteoclast numbers were observed 1 day following OTM induction. The expression levels of Beclin-1 and LC3-II peaked at 1 h post-OTM, followed by a gradual decrease. The expression levels of P62 in each experimental group were significantly lower than those noted in the 0 h group. The expression levels of Bcl-2 were markedly increased 1 h following OTM and reached a maximum at 1 day post-OTM. The highest expression levels of Bax and caspase-3 were observed 7 days following OTM induction. The present study provided additional information regarding the involvement of autophagy and apoptotic markers in the OTM process and aided the understanding of the initiation and pathophysiological progression of this condition.

Abstract
FK866 possesses various functional properties, such as anti-angiogenic, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory activities. We previously demonstrated that premature senescence of human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) was induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The present study aimed to investigate whether H2O2-induced premature senescence of hDPCs is affected by treatment with FK866. We found that FK866 markedly inhibited the senescent characteristics of hDPCs after exposure to H2O2, as revealed by an increase in the number of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal)-positive hDPCs and the upregulation of the p21 and p53 proteins, which acts as molecular indicators of cellular senescence. Moreover, the stimulatory effects of H2O2 on cellular senescence are associated with oxidative stress induction, such as excessive ROS production and NADPH consumption, telomere DNA damage induction, and upregulation of senescence-associated secretory phenotype factors (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, COX-2, and TNF-α) as well as NF-κB activation, which were all blocked by FK866. Thus, FK866 might antagonize H2O2-induced premature senescence of hDPCs, acting as a potential therapeutic antioxidant by attenuating oxidative stress-induced pathologies in dental pulp, including inflammation and cellular senescence.

Abstract
Aging is characterized by a progressive decline or loss of physiological functions, leading to increased susceptibility to disease or death. Several aging hallmarks, including genomic instability, cellular senescence, and mitochondrial dysfunction, have been suggested, which often lead to the numerous aging disorders. The periodontium, a complex structure surrounding and supporting the teeth, is composed of the gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone. Supportive and protective roles of the periodontium are very critical to sustain life, but the periodontium undergoes morphological and physiological changes with age. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of molecular and cellular physiological changes in the periodontium, by focusing on soft tissues including gingiva and periodontal ligament.

Abstract
Purpose The objective of this study was to investigate whether phelligridin D could reduce glucose-induced oxidative stress, attenuate the resulting inflammatory response, and restore the function of human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs). Methods Primary HPDLCs were isolated from healthy human teeth and cultured. To investigate the effect of phelligridin D on glucose-induced oxidative stress, HPDLCs were treated with phelligridin D, various concentrations of glucose, and glucose oxidase. Glucose-induced oxidative stress, inflammatory molecules, osteoblast differentiation, and mineralization of the HPDLCs were measured by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generation, cellular viability, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, alizarin red staining, and western blot analyses. Results Glucose-induced oxidative stress led to increased production of H2O2, with negative impacts on cellular viability, ALP activity, and calcium deposition in HPDLCs. Furthermore, HPDLCs under glucose-induced oxidative stress showed induction of inflammatory molecules (intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion protein-1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1-beta) and disturbances of osteogenic differentiation (bone morphogenetic protein-2, and -7, runt-related transcription factor-2), cementogenesis (cementum protein-1), and autophagy-related molecules (autophagy related 5, light chain 3 I/II, beclin-1). Phelligridin D restored all these molecules and maintained the function of HPDLCs even under glucose-induced oxidative stress. Conclusions This study suggests that phelligridin D reduces the inflammation that results from glucose-induced oxidative stress and restores the function of HPDLCs (e.g., osteoblast differentiation) by upregulating autophagy.

Abstract
The recent identification of senescent cells in periodontal tissues has the potential to provide new insights into the underlying mechanisms of periodontal disease etiology. DNA damage-driven senescence is perhaps one of the most underappreciated delayed consequences of persistent Gram-negative bacterial infection and inflammation. Although the host immune response rapidly protects against bacterial invasion, oxidative stress generated during inflammation can indirectly deteriorate periodontal tissues through the damage to vital cell macromolecules, including DNA. What happens to those healthy cells that reside in this harmful environment? Emerging evidence indicates that cells that survive irreparable genomic damage undergo cellular senescence, a crucial intermediate mechanism connecting DNA damage and the immune response. In this review, we hypothesize that sustained Gram-negative bacterial challenge, chronic inflammation itself, and the constant renewal of damaged tissues create a permissive environment for the abnormal accumulation of senescent cells. Based on emerging data we propose a model in which the dysfunctional presence of senescent cells may aggravate the initial immune reaction against pathogens. Further understanding of the role of senescent cells in periodontal disease pathogenesis may have clinical implications by providing more sophisticated therapeutic strategies to combat tissue destruction.

Am J Cancer Res 2020; 10:9789-9807.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a widespread oral disease that results in the loss of alveolar bone. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), which is a new therapeutic option, promotes alveolar bone regeneration in periodontal bone injury models. This study investigated the protective effect of LIPUS on oxidative stress in periodontitis and the mechanism underlying this process. Methods: An experimental periodontitis model was induced by administering a ligature. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the expression levels of oxidative stress, osteogenic, and osteoclastogenic markers in vivo. Cell viability and osteogenic differentiation were analyzed using the Cell Counting Kit-8, alkaline phosphatase, and Alizarin Red staining assays. A reactive oxygen species assay kit, lipid peroxidation MDA assay kit, and western blotting were used to determine oxidative stress status in vitro. To verify the role of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), an oxidative regulator, during LIPUS treatment, the siRNA technique and Nrf2-/- mice were used. The PI3K/Akt inhibitor LY294002 was utilized to identify the effects of the PI3K-Akt/Nrf2 signaling pathway. Results: Alveolar bone resorption, which was experimentally induced by periodontitis in vivo, was alleviated by LIPUS via activation of Nrf2. Oxidative stress, induced via H2O2 treatment in vitro, inhibited cell viability and suppressed osteogenic differentiation. These effects were also alleviated by LIPUS treatment via Nrf2 activation. Nrf2 silencing blocked the antioxidant effect of LIPUS by diminishing heme oxygenase-1 expression. Nrf2-/- mice were susceptible to ligature-induced periodontitis, and the protective effect of LIPUS on alveolar bone dysfunction was weaker in these mice. Activation of Nrf2 by LIPUS was accompanied by activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway. The oxidative defense function of LIPUS was inhibited by exposure to LY294002 in vitro. Conclusions: These results demonstrated that LIPUS regulates alveolar bone homeostasis in periodontitis by attenuating oxidative stress via the regulation of PI3K-Akt/Nrf2 signaling. Thus, Nrf2 plays a pivotal role in the protective effect exerted by LIPUS against ligature-induced experimental periodontitis.

Abstract
Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), as potential "seed cells" for periodontal tissue repair and regeneration, require to be expanded in vitro for a large scale. Senescence of PDLSCs occurred during long-term culture may compromise the therapeutic effects of PDLSCs. Medium supplements may be useful in antisenescence. However, the effects and mechanisms of vitamin C (Vc) treatment on PDLSCs during long-term culture are still unclear. In this study, we identified that Vc-treated PDLSCs cells maintained a slender morphology, higher growth rate and migration capacity, stemness, and osteogenic differentiation capability during a long-term culture. Moreover, we also identified that Notch3 was significantly upregulated during the cell senescence, and Vc treatment alleviated the senescence of PDLSCs through inhibition of Notch3 during long-term culture. In summary, Vc treatment suppressed PDLSCs senescence by reducing the expression of Notch3 and might be a simple and useful strategy to inhibit cellular senescence during the cell long-term culture.

Abstract
Biological aging involves an interplay of conserved and targetable molecular mechanisms, summarized as the hallmarks of aging. Metformin, a biguanide that combats age-related disorders and improves health span, is the first drug to be tested for its age-targeting effects in the large clinical trial-TAME (targeting aging by metformin). This review focuses on metformin's mechanisms in attenuating hallmarks of aging and their interconnectivity, by improving nutrient sensing, enhancing autophagy and intercellular communication, protecting against macromolecular damage, delaying stem cell aging, modulating mitochondrial function, regulating transcription, and lowering telomere attrition and senescence. These characteristics make metformin an attractive gerotherapeutic to translate to human trials.

Abstract
During the aging process of an organism, the skin gradually loses its structural and functional characteristics. The skin becomes more fragile and vulnerable to damage, which may contribute to age-related diseases and even death. Skin aging is aggravated by the fact that the skin is in direct contact with extrinsic factors, such as ultraviolet irradiation. While calorie restriction (CR) is the most effective intervention to extend the lifespan of organisms and prevent age-related disorders, its effects on cutaneous aging and disorders are poorly understood. This review discusses the effects of CR and its alternative dietary intake on skin biology, with a focus on skin aging. CR structurally and functionally affects most of the skin and has been reported to rescue both age-related and photo-induced changes. The anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, stem cell maintenance, and metabolic activities of CR contribute to its beneficial effects on the skin. To the best of the author’s knowledge, the effects of fasting or a specific nutrient-restricted diet on skin aging have not been evaluated; these strategies offer benefits in wound healing and inflammatory skin diseases. In addition, well-known CR mimetics, including resveratrol, metformin, rapamycin, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonists, show CR-like prevention against skin aging. An overview of the role of CR in skin biology will provide valuable insights that would eventually lead to improvements in skin health.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation, a pervasive feature of the aging process, is defined by a continuous, multifarious, low-grade inflammatory response. It is a sustained and systemic phenomenon that aggravates aging and can lead to age-related chronic diseases. In recent years, our understanding of age-related chronic inflammation has advanced through a large number of investigations on aging and calorie restriction (CR). A broader view of age-related inflammation is the concept of senoinflammation, which has an outlook beyond the traditional view, as proposed in our previous work. In this review, we discuss the effects of CR on multiple phases of proinflammatory networks and inflammatory signaling pathways to elucidate the basic mechanism underlying aging. Based on studies on senoinflammation and CR, we recognized that senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which mainly comprises cytokines and chemokines, was significantly increased during aging, whereas it was suppressed during CR. Further, we recognized that cellular metabolic pathways were also dysregulated in aging; however, CR mimetics reversed these effects. These results further support and enhance our understanding of the novel concept of senoinflammation, which is related to the metabolic changes that occur in the aging process. Furthermore, a thorough elucidation of the effect of CR on senoinflammation will reveal key insights and allow possible interventions in aging mechanisms, thus contributing to the development of new therapies focused on improving health and longevity.
