Life Sci 2024; 353:122913. [PMID: 39004274 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2024.122913] [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: 04/15/2024] [Revised: 07/10/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024]
Abstract
AIMS Temporomandibular disorder can cause degenerative pathological changes by aseptic inflammation in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Vitamin D (VD) is known for maintaining calcium homeostasis, and recent studies indicated that VD and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) are important in inflammatory responses. In this study, we explored the anti-inflammatory effect of VD-VDR signaling axis in TMJ pathological degeneration. MAIN METHODS Mice ablated for Vdr (Vdr-/-res) were fed with a rescue diet to avoid hypocalcemia. With abnormal mechanical stimulation, unilateral anterior crossbite (UAC) induced temporomandibular disorders in mice. Histological staining, immunohistochemistry staining, and micro-CT analysis were performed to evaluate TMJ pathological changes. To identify the mechanisms in the aseptic inflammatory process, in vitro experiments were conducted on wild-type (WT) and Vdr-/- chondrocytes with compressive mechanical stress loading, and the related inflammatory markers were examined. KEY FINDINGS Vdr-/-res mice did not develop rickets with a high calcium rescue diet. The TMJ cartilage thickness in Vdr-/-res mice was significantly decreased with mechanical stress stimulation compared to WT mice. UAC-induced bone resorption was obvious, and the number of osteoclasts significantly increased in Vdr-/-res mice. The proliferation was inhibited and the gene expression of Il1b, Mmp3, and Mmp13 was significantly increased in Vdr-/- chondrocytes. However, WT chondrocytes showed significantly increased Tnfa gene expression as a response to mechanical stress but not in Vdr-/- chondrocytes. SIGNIFICANCE VD-VDR is crucial in TMJ pathological changes under abnormal mechanical stimulation. Deletion of Vdr exacerbated inflammatory response excluding TNFα, inhibited chondrocyte proliferation, and promoted bone resorption in TMJ.

Immunopharmacol Immunotoxicol 2024:1-8. [PMID: 38918176 DOI: 10.1080/08923973.2024.2373217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Periodontis is a chronic inflammatory disease induced by periodontopathogenic bacteria. The excessive immune response caused by persistent bacterial infection leads to alveolar bone resorption and ultimately tooth loss. Cardamonin is a biologically active substance that is found in the Zingiberaceae family, such as Alpinia zerumbet, and is classified as a natural chalcone. There have been no attempts to use cardamonin for the treatment of periodontitis, and no reports have examined the effects of cardamonin on periodontal tissue component cells. The aim of this study was to analyze effects of cardamonin on expression of inflammation mediators produced by TNFα-stimulated human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs), including its effects on signal transduction molecules. METHODS Cytokine and chemokine levels were measured by ELISA. Protein expression in HPDLCs and activations of signal transduction pathway were determined by Western blotting. RESULTS Our results indicate that cardamonin suppresses C-C motif chemokine ligand (CCL)2, CCL20, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand (CXCL)10, and interleukin (IL)-6 production and intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression in TNF-α-stimulated HPDLCs. In addition, cardamonin induced the expression of the antioxidant enzyme, Heme Oxygenase (HO)-1, in HPDLCs. Furthermore, cardamonin suppressed TNF-α-stimulated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), nuclear factor (NF)-κB, and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)3 signaling pathways in HPDLCs. CONCLUSION We show that cardamonin reduces inflammatory mediator production by inhibiting the activation of several signaling pathways in this manuscript.

Abstract
Interleukin-8 (IL-8/CXCL8), an essential CXC chemokine, significantly influences psychoneuroimmunological processes and affects neurological and psychiatric health. It exerts a profound effect on immune cell activation and brain function, suggesting potential roles in both neuroprotection and neuroinflammation. IL-8 production is stimulated by several factors, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) known to promote inflammation and disease progression. Additionally, CXCL8 gene polymorphisms can alter IL-8 production, leading to potential differences in disease susceptibility, progression, and severity across populations. IL-8 levels vary among neuropsychiatric conditions, demonstrating sensitivity to psychosocial stressors and disease severity. IL-8 can be detected in blood circulation, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and urine, making it a promising candidate for a broad-spectrum biomarker. This review highlights the need for further research on the diverse effects of IL-8 and the associated implications for personalized medicine. A thorough understanding of its complex role could lead to the development of more effective and personalized treatment strategies for neuropsychiatric conditions.

Abstract
Berteroin is a bioactive substance classified as an isothiocyanate found in cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, arugula, and salad leaves. In this study, we aimed to determine whether berteroin exerts anti-inflammatory effects on human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs), a resident cells of periodontal tissue. Berteroin suppressed interleukin (IL)-1β or tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced chemokines (C-C motif chemokine ligand (CCL)2, CCL20, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand (CXCL)10, IL-8, and IL-6) production and intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 expression in HPDLCs. In addition, berteroin inhibited phosphorylation of IκB kinase (IKK)- α/ β, nuclear factor (NF)- κB p65, and IκB- α and degradation of IκB- α in the NF-κB pathway induced by IL-1 β or TNF- α stimulation. Moreover, berteroin could inhibit signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)3 phosphorylation in TNF- α -stimulated HPDLC. Furthermore, berteroin increased the expression of the antioxidant enzymes, heme oxygenase (HO)-1 and NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase (NQO)1, in IL-1 β or TNF- α -stimulated HPDLCs. These results suggest that berteroin may decrease the production of inflammatory mediators in HPDLCs by suppressing the NF-κB pathway, and may also decrease the local reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in periodontal lesions by increasing the production of antioxidant enzymes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardamonin is classified as a natural chalcone, and has been reported to possess various bioactive effects. However, there have been limited attempts to utilize cardamonin in the treatment of periodontitis. This study aimed to investigate whether cardamonin has anti-inflammatory effects on human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs), which are a component cell of periodontal tissue. Specifically, the study seeks to determine whether cardamonin affects the expression of inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines and adhesion molecules, induced by interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in HPDLCs, as well as the signaling pathways activated by IL-1β. METHODS Cytokine and chemokine levels in supernatants of HPDLCs were measured by ELISA. Western blot analysis was used to measure protein expression and signal transduction pathway activation in HPDLCs. RESULTS We found that IL-1β-induced CC chemokine ligand (CCL)2, CCL5, CCL20, CXC-chemokine ligand (CXCL)10, and interleukin (IL)-6 production and intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression in HPDLCs were suppressed by cardamonin treatment. We also found that cardamonin suppressed IL-1β-activated nuclear factor (NF)-κB pathway, and the phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)3. Furthermore, cardamonin treatment enhanced the expression of the antioxidant enzymes, heme oxygenase (HO)-1 and NAD(P)H dehydrogenase [quinone] 1 (NQO1), in HPDLCs. CONCLUSION In this study, we found that cardamonin could suppress the production of inflammatory mediators in HPDLCs as well as the activation of several signaling pathways induced by IL-1β treatment.

Abstract
Vitamin D plays an essential role in calcium and bone metabolism, immune regulation and possesses profound anti-inflammatory effects. Evidence suggests that low serum vitamin D is associated with increased severity of periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory condition characterised by destruction of the supporting tissues surrounding the tooth, which has several shared risk factors with other chronic non-communicable diseases. The biological functions of vitamin D are mediated by its strong anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and host modulatory properties. Experimental periodontitis models involving targeted deletion of 1α-hydroxylase, the enzyme responsible for the conversion of inactive substrate to active 1,25(OH)2 D3 (calcitriol), showed augmented alveolar bone loss and gingival inflammation. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms have also been associated with increased severity of periodontitis. Thus, the involvement of vitamin D in the pathogenesis of periodontitis is biological plausible. Clinical studies have consistently demonstrated an inverse relationship between serum 25OHD3 and periodontal disease inflammation. However, due to the paucity of well-designed longitudinal studies, there is less support for the impact of vitamin D status on periodontal disease progression and tooth loss. The evidence emphasises the importance of maintaining vitamin D sufficiency in supporting periodontal health. This review aims to first examine the biological mechanisms by which vitamin D might influence the pathogenesis of periodontal disease and second, discuss the clinical evidence which implicate the role of vitamin D in periodontal disease.

Front Immunol 2023; 14:1100041.

Abstract
Introduction Human periodontal ligament-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hPDL-MSCs) exhibit a tight bi-directional interaction with CD4+ T lymphocytes. The hPDL-MSCs' immunomodulatory abilities are drastically enhanced by pro-inflammatory cytokines via boosting the expression of various immunomediators. 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3), the major metabolite of vitamin D3 in the blood, affects both hPDL-MSCs and CD4+ T lymphocytes, but its influence on their interaction is unknown. Methods Therefore, primary hPDL-MSCs were stimulated in vitro with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α a or interleukin (IL)-1β in the absence and presence of 25(OH)D3 followed by an indirect co-culture with phytohemagglutinin-activated CD4+ T lymphocytes. The CD4+ T lymphocyte proliferation, viability, and cytokine secretion were analyzed. Additionally, the expression of various immunomediators in hPDL-MSCs was investigated, and their implication was verified by using pharmacological inhibitors. Results 25(OH)D3 significantly counteracted the suppressive effects of IL-1β-treated hPDL-MSCs on CD4+ T lymphocyte proliferation, whereas no effects were observed in the presence of TNF-α. Additionally, 25(OH)D3 significantly increased the percentage of viable CD4+ T lymphocytes via TNF-α- or IL-1β-treated hPDL-MSCs. It also caused a significant decrease in interferon-γ, IL-17A, and transforming growth factor-β productions, which were triggered by TNF-α-treated hPDL-MSCs. 25(OH)D3 significantly decreased the production of various immunomediators in hPDL-MSCs. Inhibition of two of them, prostaglandin E2 and indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase-1, partially abolished some of the hPDL-MSCs-mediated effects of 25(OH)D3 on CD4+ T lymphocytes. Conclusion These data indicate that 25(OH)D3 influences the immunomodulatory activities of hPDL-MSCs. This modulatory potential seems to have high plasticity depending on the local cytokine conditions and may be involved in regulating periodontal tissue inflammatory processes.

Abstract
Periodontitis is highly prevalent worldwide. It is characterized by periodontal attachment and alveolar bone destruction, which not only leads to tooth loss but also results in the exacerbation of systematic diseases. As such, periodontitis has a significant negative impact on the daily lives of patients. Detailed exploration of the molecular mechanisms underlying the physiopathology of periodontitis may contribute to the development of new therapeutic strategies for periodontitis and the associated systematic diseases. Pyroptosis, as one of the inflammatory programmed cell death pathways, is implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Progress in the field of pyroptosis has greatly enhanced our understanding of its role in inflammatory diseases. This review first summarizes the mechanisms underlying the activation of pyroptosis in periodontitis and the pathological role of pyroptosis in the progression of periodontitis. Then, the crosstalk between pyroptosis with apoptosis, necroptosis, and NETosis in periodontitis is discussed. Moreover, pyroptosis, as a novel link that connects periodontitis with systemic disease, is also reviewed. Finally, the current challenges associated with pyroptosis as a potential therapeutic target for periodontitis are highlighted.

The therapeutic effects of Bombyx mori sericin on rat skin psoriasis through modulated epidermal immunity and attenuated cell proliferation. J Tradit Complement Med 2021; 11:587-597. [PMID: 34765523 PMCID: PMC8572706 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcme.2021.06.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2021] [Revised: 06/27/2021] [Accepted: 06/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and aim Psoriasis is a skin disorder that leads to chronic inflammation and keratinocyte hyperproliferation. Sericin extracted from Bombyx mori cocoon has been demonstrated to possess anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative properties, which makes it a viable candidate for psoriasis treatment. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of sericin on skin psoriasis at the cellular level. Experimental procedure Imiquimod-induced skin psoriasis was established in Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats with psoriasis were divided into 6 groups (n = 5), namely, one nontreatment control group and five groups that received different treatments: sericin (2.5%, 5%, and 10%), 0.1% betamethasone, 3 μg/ml calcitriol. The treatments were administered twice daily for 7 days, followed by skin sample collection. Epidermal improvement and protein expression were evaluated using histopathological and label-free proteomic approaches and immunohistochemistry. Results and conclusion Compared with other concentrations, 10% sericin had the desired effect of improving skin psoriasis as shown by reduced epidermal thickness, similar to the effects of betamethasone and calcitriol treatments. Anti-inflammatory activity was shown by decreased C–C motif chemokine 20 (CCL20) expression posttreatment. Proteomic observation revealed that sericin reduced cytokine production by Th17 cells by interfering with the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Sericin treatment also resulted in a modulated immune response via upregulation of Galectin-3 (Lgals3) and downregulation of Sphingosine-1-phosphate lyase1 (Sgpl1). Sericin improved epithelial cell proliferation by upregulating Nucleoside diphosphate kinase B (Nme2). Therefore, the therapeutic effect of sericin on psoriasis correlated with a reduced immune response and attenuated epidermal proliferation, making sericin a promising approach for skin psoriasis treatment. Sericin extracted from Bombyx mori cocoon ameliorates skin psoriasis. Sericin modulated immune response and epithelial cell proliferation in skin-psoriasis rat model. Sericin upregulated Lgals3 and downregulated Sgpl1 in immune system. Downregulated Nme2 of skin psoriasis by sericin treatment reduces epithelial cell proliferation.

Amiodarone (AMD), an antiarrhythmic drug, is used cautiously due to its lung toxicity that is characterized by alveolar inflammation followed by fatal fibrosis. AMD induces lung inflammation via increasing the alveolar macrophages and disturbing the balance of T-helper-1 (Th1) and Th2 cells cytokines. In this study, the role of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs)/activator protein-1 (AP-1) pathway in AMD-induced lung inflammation was evaluated. Also, the anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effects of losartan and/or vitamin D were investigated following 7, 14, and 28 days of AMD administration. AMD resulted in lung injury, inflammatory infiltration, and increased pulmonary levels of inflammatory cytokines starting from Week 1 of exposure. A significant increase in serum levels of interleukin-4 along with a significant reduction of interferon-gamma, in addition to strong expression of CD68, were reported after 14 and 28 days of AMD administration reflecting Th1/Th2 cytokines imbalance and the accumulation of alveolar macrophages, respectively. The phosphorylation of MAPKs (ERK1/2, JNK, p38) and AP-1 was significantly enhanced starting from Week 1 of exposure. Marked expression of transforming growth factor beta-1 and massive deposition of collagen were detected after 28 days reflecting late fibrosis. All these abnormalities were significantly mitigated by vitamin D and its combination with losartan. Losartan alone has less prominent anti-inflammatory effects particularly after 28 days; however, it efficiently prevented late fibrosis. This study concludes that MAPKs/AP-1 pathway is involved in AMD-induced lung inflammation and that vitamin D and/or losartan could be used as a prophylactic agent to prevent AMD-induced lung toxicity.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death by a single infectious agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Alveolar macrophages and respiratory epithelial cells are the first cells exposed to Mtb during the primary infection, once these cells are activated, secrete cytokines and antimicrobial peptides that are associated with the Mtb contention and elimination. Vitamins are micronutrients that function as boosters on the innate immune system, however, is unclear whether they have any protective activity during Mtb infection. Thus, we investigated the role of vitamin A (retinoic acid), vitamin C (ascorbic acid), vitamin D (calcitriol), and vitamin E (alfa-tocopherol) as inductors of molecules related to mycobacterial infection in macrophages and epithelial cells. Our results showed that retinoic acid promotes the expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory molecules such as Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), β-defensin-2, IL-1β, CCL20, β-defensin-3, Cathelicidin LL-37, TGF-β, and RNase 7, whereas calcitriol, ascorbic acid, and α-tocopherol lead to an anti-inflammatory response. Treatment of Mtb-infected epithelial cells and macrophage-like cells with the vitamins showed a differential response, where calcitriol reduced Mtb in macrophages, while retinoic acid reduced infection in epithelial cells. Thereby, we propose that a combination of calcitriol and retinoic acid supplementation can drive the immune response, and promotes the Mtb elimination by increasing the expression of antimicrobial peptides and cytokines, while simultaneously modulating inflammation.

Abstract
The immune response in periodontal lesions is involved in the progression of periodontal disease. Therefore, it is important to find a bioactive substance that has anti-inflammatory effects in periodontal lesions. This study aimed to examine if nobiletin, which is found in the peel of citrus fruits, could inhibit inflammatory responses in interleukin (IL)-1β-stimulated human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs). The release of cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, CXCL10, CCL20, and CCL2) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1 and MMP-3) was assessed by ELISA. The expression of cell adhesion molecules (ICAM-1and VCAM-1) and the activation of signal transduction pathways (nuclear factor (NF)-κB, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and protein kinase B (Akt)) in HPDLCs were detected by Western blot analysis. Our experiments revealed that nobiletin decreased the expression of inflammatory cytokines, cell adhesion molecules, and MMPs in IL-1β-stimulated HPDLCs. Moreover, we revealed that nobiletin treatment could suppress the activation of the NF-κB, MAPKs, and Akt pathways. These findings indicate that nobiletin could inhibit inflammatory reactions in IL-1β-stimulated HPDLCs by inhibiting multiple signal transduction pathways, including NF-κB, MAPKs, and Akt.

Abstract
Sudachitin, which is a polymethoxylated flavonoid found in the peel of Citrus sudachi, has some biological activities. However, the effect of sudachitin on periodontal resident cells is still uncertain. The aim of this study was to examine if sudachitin could decrease the expression of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines, chemokines, or matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) in interleukin- (IL-) 1β-stimulated human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLC). Sudachitin inhibited IL-1β-induced IL-6, IL-8, CXC chemokine ligand (CXCL)10, CC chemokine ligand (CCL)2, MMP-1, and MMP-3 production in HPDLC. On the other hand, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase- (TIMP-) 1 expression was increased by sudachitin treatment. Moreover, we found that the nuclear factor- (NF-) κB and protein kinase B (Akt) pathways in the IL-1β-stimulated HPDLC were inhibited by sudachitin treatment. These findings indicate that sudachitin is able to reduce inflammatory mediator production in IL-1β-stimulated HPDLC by inhibiting NF-κB and Akt pathways.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE miR-146a is widely induced during the immune response. However, little is known about the biogenesis, function and mechanism of miR-146a in cementoblasts during the pathogenesis of periodontitis. This study aimed to investigate the effects of miR-146a in murine cementoblast-derived OCCM-30 cells following IL-1β stimulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS OCCM-30 cells were cultured and exposed to IL-1β. IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α, and miR-146a-5p expression was assessed by qRT-PCR. Mimics/inhibitors were transiently transfected into cells to determine the function of miR-146a-5p. Signalling pathways including p38 MAPK, ERK1/2 and NF-κB were studied by using specific inhibitors. The indicated proteins were measured by Western blot analysis and ELISA. RESULTS In IL-1β-stimulated OCCM-30 cells, the expression levels of miR-146a-5p along with IL-6 and IL-1β increased in a time-dependent manner. The ERK1/2, p38 MAPK and NF-κB pathway were activated upon IL-1β stimulation. Blocking the NF-κB pathway decreased IL-6, IL-1β and miR-146a-5p expression. The overexpression of miR-146a-5p reduced IL-6 and IL-1β expression, while the inhibition of miR-146a-5p increased IL-6 and IL-1β expression in IL-1β-treated OCCM-30 cells. miR-146a-5p attenuated IL-6 and IL-1β expression via the IRAK1/TRAF6 pathway. CONCLUSION This study suggested that miR-146a-5p attenuates IL-1β-induced inflammatory factors in cementoblast-derived cell line.

Abstract
Vitamin D3 is a hormone involved in the regulation of bone metabolism, mineral homeostasis, and immune response. Almost all dental tissues contain resident mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which are largely similar to bone marrow-derived MSCs. In this narrative review, we summarized the current findings concerning the physiological effects of vitamin D3 on dental MSCs. The existing literature suggests that dental MSCs possess the ability to convert vitamin D3 into 25(OH)D3 and subsequently to the biologically active 1,25(OH)2D3. The vitamin D3 metabolites 25(OH)D3 and 1,25(OH)2D3 stimulate osteogenic differentiation and diminish the inflammatory response of dental MSCs. In addition, 1,25(OH)2D3 influences the immunomodulatory properties of MSCs in different dental tissues. Thus, dental MSCs are both producers and targets of 1,25(OH)2D3 and might regulate the local vitamin D3-dependent processes in an autocrine/paracrine manner. The local vitamin D3 metabolism is assumed to play an essential role in the local physiological processes, but the mechanisms of its regulation in dental MSCs are mostly unknown. The alteration of the local vitamin D3 metabolism may unravel novel therapeutic modalities for the treatment of periodontitis as well as new strategies for dental tissue regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Carnosic acid (CA), which is one of bioactive compounds from rosemary, has various biological activities. However, the effect of CA on periodontal ligament cells is still uncertain. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of CA on inflammatory cytokines production in human periodontal ligament cells. METHODS Cytokine and chemokine levels were measured by ELISA. Activations of signal transduction pathway were determined by Western blotting. RESULTS Treatment of CA decreased inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-6, CXC chemokine ligand (CXCL)10, CC chemokine ligand (CCL)2, and CCL20 productions in IL-1β or tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-stimulated human periodontal ligament cells in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, we found that CA could suppress Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway, nuclear factor (NF)-κB pathway and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)3 pathway activation in IL-1β or TNF-α-stimulated human periodontal ligament cells. CONCLUSION The results of this study suggest that CA has anti-inflammatory effects in human periodontal ligament cells by inhibiting JNK, NF-κB and STAT3 pathways.

Abstract
Aims Both, vitamin D3 and human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) possess immunosuppressive properties, but their combined effect on immune cells has never been investigated. Here, we analysed the impact of vitamin D3 on the immunosuppressive properties of hPDLCs towards CD4+ T lymphocytes. Material and Methods Allogenic CD4+ T lymphocytes were activated by phytohemagglutinin either in monoculture or co‐culture with hPDLCs, in the presence or absence of IFN‐γ and 1,25(OH)2D3. After 5 days, CD4+ T‐lymphocyte proliferation, CD4+ CD25+ FoxP3+ regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs) proportion and IL‐10, TGF‐β1 and IL‐17A production were analysed. Results In monoculture, 1,25(OH)2D3 suppressed CD4+ T‐lymphocyte proliferation, increased the percentage of CD4+ FoxP3+ CD25+ FoxP3+ Tregs and enhanced IL‐10 and TGF‐β1 production. In the presence of IFN‐γ treated hPDLCs, 1,25(OH)2D3 significantly increased CD4+ T‐lymphocyte proliferation and decreased the percentage of CD4+ CD25+ FoxP3+ Tregs. IL‐10 and IL‐17A expression was significantly diminished by 1,25(OH)2D3, whereas TGF‐β1 was slightly increased. The effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 in co‐culture were reversed by inhibition of indoleamine‐2,3‐dioxygenase‐1, prostaglandin‐endoperoxide synthase and programmed cell death 1 ligand 1. 1,25(OH)2D3 also suppressed the expression of these proteins in hPDLCs. Conclusion Effects of vitamin D3 on CD4+ T lymphocyte are modified by hPDLCs depending on the microenvironment.

Abstract
Periodontal ligament-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hPDLSCs) possess immunomodulatory abilities which are strongly enhanced by various inflammatory cytokines. Vitamin D3 has anti-inflammatory effects on hPDLSCs and immune cells. However, no study to date has directly compared the influence of 1,25(OH)2D3 on the immunomodulatory activities of hPDLSCs in the presence of different cytokines. In the present study, the effects of hPDLSCs treated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, or interferon (IFN)-γ in the presence of 1,25(OH)2D3 on the proliferation of allogenic CD4+ T lymphocyte or on the functional status of primary CD68+ macrophages were analyzed in coculture models. Additionally, the effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 on TNF-α-, IL-1β-, and IFN-γ-induced gene expression of some immunomodulatory factors in hPDLSCs were compared. Under coculture conditions, 1,25(OH)2D3 increased or decreased CD4+ T lymphocyte proliferation via hPDLSCs, depending on the cytokine. hPDLSCs primed with 1,25(OH)2D3 and different cytokines affected pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine expression in macrophages variably, depending on the priming cytokine. With one exception, 1,25(OH)2D3 significantly reduced TNF-α-, IL-1β-, and IFN-γ-induced expression of all the investigated immunomediators in hPDLSCs, albeit to different extents. These results suggest that 1,25(OH)2D3 influences the immunomodulatory activities of hPDLSCs depending qualitatively and quantitatively on the presence of certain inflammatory cytokines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the immunomodulatory properties of calcitriol in bone metabolism have been documented for decades, its therapeutic role in the management of periodontitis remains largely unexplored. In this study, we hypothesized that calcitriol suppresses lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced alveolar bone loss by regulating T helper (Th) cell subset polarization. METHODS To test this hypothesis, we determined the effect of calcitriol intervention on the development of LPS-induced periodontitis in rats in terms of bone loss (micro-CT analysis), local inflammatory infiltration levels, the number of osteoclasts (hematoxylin and eosin staining) and the level of osteoclastogenesis (tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase method). Furthermore, immunohistochemistry was used to assess the expression levels of the receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) as well as the cytokine levels of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-17, and IL-10 throughout the LPS-injected region. Finally, the polarization potential of Th cells in peripheral blood was analyzed using flow cytometry. RESULTS Calcitriol intervention decreased alveolar bone loss in response to LPS injection and inflammatory cell infiltration. Analysis of osteoclast number and RANKL and OPG expression showed that bone resorption activity was largely suppressed in response to calcitriol administration, along with decreased IL-17 levels but increased IL-4 and IL-10 levels in periodontal tissues (the LPS-injected region). Similarly, the percentages of Th2 and Treg cells in peripheral blood increased, but the percentages of Th1 and Th17 cells decreased in rats receiving calcitriol. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that calcitriol can be used to inhibit bone loss in experimental periodontitis, likely via the regulation of local and systemic Th cell polarization.

OBJECTIVE Cyclic tensile force (CTF) modulates physiological responses of periodontal ligament (PDL) cells. PDL cells are mechanosensitive and are able to maintain tissue homeostasis; a process mediated by the expression of particular cytokines including interleukin 6 (IL6). It is unknown whether CTF-induced IL6 regulates the expression of MMPs, enzymes needed for tissue remodeling. DESIGN Human PDL cells were subjected to 10% elongation strain of CTF at a frequency of 60 rpm continuously for 6 h. RNA and proteins were extracted and analyzed for IL6 and MMP expression by quantitative real-time PCR and ELISA, respectively. Using a neutralizing anti-IL6 antibody and addition of recombinant human IL6 at concentrations of 0.1, 1, 10 ng.mL-1 were performed to clarify whether CTF-upregulated IL6 increased MMP expression. Inhibitors of intracellular signaling molecules were employed to reveal possible pathway(s) of IL6-induced MMP expression. RESULTS CTF-induced IL6 expression coincided with an increased MMP3 expression. A neutralizing anti-IL6 antibody attenuated the CTF-increased MMP3 expression, whereas stimulating the cells with recombinant human IL6 increased MMP3 expression. Both PI3K and MAPK pathways were essential in the IL6 induced expression of MMP3. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest a role of CTF in the modulation of expression of IL6 and MMP3 and thus in the regulation of homeostasis and remodeling of the periodontal ligament.

The impact of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans biofilm-derived effectors following antimicrobial photodynamic therapy on cytokine production in human gingival fibroblasts. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2019; 27:1-6. [PMID: 31125769 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2019.05.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2018] [Revised: 05/18/2019] [Accepted: 05/20/2019] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is an effective adjunctive therapeutic modality for the treatment of local infections, including periodontitis and peri-implantitis. After receiving aPDT, microbial cells in the biofilm structure may produce and/ or release soluble biofilm-derived effectors (BDEs), which may affect the biology of the host cells in the community context of their surrounding microenvironment. Given the fact that no study has investigated the role of BDEs following aPDT in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases, the aim of the current study was to determine the effect of BDEs of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans following exposure to sub-lethal doses of indocyanine green (ICG)-aPDT on human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) in terms of cytokines produced. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we evaluated the effect of biofilm-conditioned medium (BCM) resulting from the treatment of A. actinomycetemcomitans biofilm with a sub-lethal dose of aPDT on cytokines production, including IL-6, IL-8, CXCL10, TGF-β, and bFGF of HGFs using enzyme-linked immunoassays (ELISA). The sensitivity of cytokines to BDEs was determined by micro-titer plates. RESULTS The maximal sub-lethal dose of ICG-PDT was 20.15 μM/mL ICG at a fluence of 31.2 J/cm2. The BCM of ICG-PDT-treated viable A. actinomycetemcomitans significantly reduced IL-6, IL-8, and CXCL10 levels compared to the BCM of untreated viable A. actinomycetemcomitans (78-, 93-, and 61.6-fold reduction, respectively; all P < 0.01). TGF-β and bFGF were strongly induced by BCM of ICG-PDT treated viable A. actinomycetemcomitans (by 57.7 and 36.1 folds, respectively; both P < 0.05). The BCM of untreated viable A. actinomycetemcomitans degraded most of the CxCL10, TGF-β and bFGF (58.8, 61.5, and 71.6%, respectively) in 24 h, while it degraded 9.3% of IL-6 and 15.1% of IL-8 after 24 h. CONCLUSION The results of the current study revealed that a sub-lethal dose of ICG-aPDT through the effect of BCM on HGFs could not only significantly reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines but also promoted their role in periodontal regeneration due to increasing the bFGF level. Altogether, ICG-aPDT, with it's antimicrobial effects reduces inflammation and induces of tissue regeneration resulting from BCM, can be considered an efficient adjunctive therapeutic method for the treatment of local infections.

Abstract
Paediatric asthma exacerbations are often caused by rhinovirus (RV). Moreover, 25(OH)-vitamin D3 (VitD3) deficiency during infancy was found associated with asthma. Here, we investigated the innate immune responses to RV and their possible modulation by 25(OH)-VitD3 serum levels in a preschool cohort of children with and without asthma. The innate lymphoid cell type 2 (ILC2)-associated marker, ST2, was found up-regulated in the blood cells of asthmatic children with low serum levels of 25(OH)-VitD3 in the absence of RV in their airways. Furthermore, in blood cells from control and asthmatic children with RV in their airways, soluble (s) ST2 (sST2) protein was found reduced. Asthmatic children with low 25(OH)-VitD3 in serum and with RV in vivo in their airways at the time of the analysis had the lowest sST2 protein levels in the peripheral blood compared to control children without RV and high levels of 25(OH)-VitD3. Amphiregulin (AREG), another ILC2-associated marker, was found induced in the control children with RV in their airways and low serum levels of 25(OH)-VitD3. In conclusion, the anti-inflammatory soluble form of ST2, also known as sST2, in serum correlated directly with interleukin (IL)-33 in the airways of asthmatic children. Furthermore, RV colonization in the airways and low serum levels of 25(OH)-VitD3 were found to be associated with down-regulation of sST2 in serum in paediatric asthma. These data indicate a counter-regulatory role of 25(OH)-VitD3 on RV-induced down-regulation of serum sST2 in paediatric asthma, which is relevant for the therapy of this disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Periodontopathogens induce immunoinflammatory responses characterized by the release of inflammatory mediators, e.g., interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-8. Ghrelin (GHRL) is an appetite hormone which mediates its effect via the functional receptor GHS-R1a. This study was to examine the effect of an inflammatory insult on GHS-R1a in human periodontal cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Periodontal ligament (PDL) cells and gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) were exposed to IL-1β in the presence and absence of GHRL. Cells were also pre-incubated with specific inhibitors of NF-κB or MEK1/MEK2 signaling. Gene expression of GHS-R1a and proinflammatory mediators was assessed by real-time PCR, GHS-R1 protein level by immunocytochemistry, and NF-κB nuclear translocation by immunofluorescence. RESULTS IL-1β increased significantly the GHS-R1a expression in both cell types in a dose-dependent manner. The stimulatory effect of IL-1β involved the NF-κB and MAPK pathways. Exposure of cells to IL-1β also resulted in an increased production of GHS-R1 protein in both cell types. Furthermore, GHRL counteracted significantly the stimulatory actions of IL-1β on IL-6 and IL-8 in PDL cells. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates for the first time that IL-1β upregulates the functional ghrelin receptor in periodontal fibroblastic cells. Moreover, these results further support the assumption that the GHRL/GHS-R system exerts anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, the upregulation of ghrelin receptor in periodontal cells in response to an inflammatory stimulus may represent a negative feedback mechanism to attenuate the initial inflammatory process in periodontal diseases. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The anti-inflammatory GHRL/GHS-R system may serve as a promising target for the prevention and therapy of periodontal diseases.

Abstract
Interleukin-29 (IL-29) is a cytokine belonging to the Type III interferon family. It was recently detected in the gingival crevicular fluid of periodontitis patients. However, the role of IL-29 in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease remains unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of IL-29 on C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) production in human oral epithelial cells. We measured CXCL10 production in TR146 cells, which is a human oral epithelial cell line, using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We used a Western blot analysis to detect IL-29 receptor expression and the phosphorylation levels of signal transduction molecules, including p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and nuclear factor (NF)- κB p65, in the TR146 cells. The TR146 cells expressed the IL-29 receptor. IL-29 induced CXCL10 production in the TR146 cells. IL-29 significantly enhanced CXCL10 production in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-stimulated TR146 cells. The p38 MAPK, STAT3, and NF-κB pathways were found to be related to the IL-29-induced enhancement of CXCL10 production in TNF-α-stimulated TR146 cells. IL-29 promotes T helper 1-cell accumulation in periodontal lesions by inducing CXCL10 production in oral epithelial cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Vitamin D-1,25(OH)2 D3 or 1,25D3-maintains healthy osseous tissue, stimulates the production of the antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin and has anti-inflammatory effects, but it can cause hypercalcemia. Evidence links diminished serum levels of 1,25D3 with increased gingival inflammation. Periodontitis progression is associated with increased local production of inflammatory mediators by immune cells and gingival fibroblasts. These include interleukin (IL)-6, a regulator of osteoclastic bone resorption, and the neutrophil chemoattractant IL-8, both regulated by signaling pathways, including NF-κB and MAPK/AP-1. The objectives were to determine the effects of 1,25D3 or a non-calcemic analog, 20-hydroxyvitamin D3 -20(OH)D3 or 20D3-on IL-1β-stimulated IL-6 and IL-8 production, and NF-κB and MAPK/AP-1 activation, by human gingival fibroblasts. MATERIAL AND METHODS Human gingival fibroblasts were incubated ± IL-1β, with or without exposure to 1,25D3 or 20D3. IL-6 and IL-8 in culture supernatants were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. NF-κB (p65) and AP-1 (phospho-cJun) and were measured in nuclear extracts via binding to specific oligonucleotides. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Scheffe's F procedure for post hoc comparisons. RESULTS IL-1β-stimulated IL-6 and IL-8 levels were both significantly inhibited (40%-60%) (P<.045) by 1,25D3, but not 20D3 (0%-15% inhibition, not statistically significant). Both 1,25D3 and 20D3 significantly and similarly inhibited IL-1β-stimulated nuclear levels of p65 and phospho-cJun (P<.02). CONCLUSION Reduction of the activation of NF-κB and AP-1 alone is not able to inhibit strongly the IL-1β stimulated IL-6 and IL-8 gene expression. 1,25D3 but not 20D3 may affect some of the many other factors/processes/pathways that in turn regulate the expression of these genes. However, the results suggest that topical application of ligands of the vitamin D receptor may be useful in the local treatment of periodontitis while reducing adverse systemic effects.

Abstract
Melatonin is a hormone that is mainly secreted by the pineal gland and exhibits a wide spectrum of activities, including antioxidant functions. Melatonin has been detected in gingival crevicular fluid. However, the role of melatonin in periodontal tissue is still uncertain. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of melatonin on inflammatory mediator expression in human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLC). Interleukin (IL)-1β induced CXC chemokine ligand (CXCL)10, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 production in HPDLC. Melatonin decreased CXCL10 and MMP-1 production and increased TIMP-1 production in IL-1β-stimulated HPDLC. Western blot analysis showed that melatonin inhibited p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation, and IkB-α degradation and phosphorylation in IL-1β-stimulated HPDLC. These results suggest that melatonin might inhibit Th1 cell migration by reducing CXCL10 production. Moreover, melatonin might inhibit soft tissue destruction by decreasing MMP-1 production in periodontal lesions.

Abstract
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a late inflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in periodontal tissue remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement. Calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1α,25 (OH)2D3]) is a systemic calcium-regulating hormone shown to downregulate expression of multiple proinflammatory cytokines in human periodontal ligament cells in response to orthodontic force. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 1α,25(OH)2D3 on the expression of HMGB1 in periodontal ligament (PDL) cells during orthodontic tooth movement. Seven-week-old male Wistar rats were used for experimentation. Tooth movement was assessed using a nickel-titanium coil spring to apply mechanical loading to the tooth for 5 days. This was followed by administration of either 1α,25(OH)2D3 or normal saline by gavage every other day for up to 28 days. Immunohistochemistry was used to analyze the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6 and HMGB1. After discontinuation of orthodontic force, expression of the early inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α were time-dependently reduced in the 1α,25(OH)2D3 group compared with the control group at each time point. Similarly, expression of HMGB1 was decreased over time in both the 1α,25(OH)2D3 and normal saline groups, and 1α,25(OH)2D3 administration enhanced this decline. These findings indicate that administration of 1α,25(OH)2D3 might provide a favorable microenvironment for orthodontic tooth movement by downregulating expression of HMGB1 in PDL cells.
