Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cell pyroptosis is implicated in progressive bone loss in dental inflammatory diseases. We induced caspase-3/Gasdermin E (GSDME)-mediated pyroptosis in osteoblast-like cells and evaluated the effects on osteogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Osteoblast-like cells were treated with various concentrations of sodium butyrate (NaB) to identify the most appropriate for inducing caspase-3/GSDME-mediated pyroptosis. Cells were divided into control, NaB and NaB+Ac-DEVD-CHO (specific caspase-3 inhibitor) groups. Pyroptosis level was evaluated by immunofluorescence, morphological observation, flow cytometry, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assays, mRNA and protein levels of pyroptosis-related markers. Then, inflammation level, osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) expression and osteogenic function were detected. RESULTS Treatment with 10 mM NaB increased caspase-3 expression, GSDME cleavage, LDH release and the number of pyroptotic cells, with morphologic changes, indicating GSDME-mediated pyroptosis induction. The pyroptosis-related changes were abolished by caspase-3 inhibition. Caspase-3/GSDME-mediated pyroptosis triggered the expression of inflammatory cytokines and RANKL, downregulated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralisation level, mRNA and protein levels of multiple osteogenic markers. These effects were partly reversed by Ac-DEVD-CHO. CONCLUSION Caspase-3/GSDME-mediated pyroptosis induced by NaB activated the inflammatory response, reduced osteogenic differentiation and disturbed OPG/RANKL axis, leading to osteogenic dysfunction in osteoblast-like cells.

Abstract
Background Peri-implantitis (PI) is a prevalent complication of implant treatment. Pyroptosis, a distinctive inflammatory programmed cell death, is crucial to the pathophysiology of PI. Despite its importance, the pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) influencing PI's progression remain largely unexplored. Methods This study conducted histological staining and transcriptome analyze from three datasets. The intersection of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and PRGs was identified as pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (PRDEGs). Functional enrichment analyses were conducted to shed light on potential underlying mechanisms. Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) and a pyroptotic macrophage model were utilized to identify and validate hub PRDEGs. Immune cell infiltration in PI and its relationship with hub PRDEGs were also examined. Furthermore, consensus clustering was performed to identify new PI subtypes. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network, mRNA-mRNA binding protein regulatory (RBP) network, and mRNA-drugs regulatory network of hub PRDEGs were also analyzed. Results Eight hub PRDEGs were identified: PGF, DPEP1, IL36B, IFIH1, TCEA3, RIPK3, NET7, and TLR3, which are instrumental in the PI's progression. Two PI subtypes were distinguished, with Cluster 1 exhibiting higher immune cell activation. The exploration of regulatory networks provided novel mechanisms and therapeutic targets in PI. Conclusion Our research highlights the critical role of pyroptosis and identifies eight hub PRDEGs in PI's progression, offering insights into novel immunotherapy targets and laying the foundation for advanced diagnostic and treatment strategies. This contributes to our understanding of PI and underscores the potential for personalized clinical management.

Abstract
Numerous studies have established a link between gene variants within the inflammasome complex and the incidence of periodontitis and cardiovascular illness across various ethnic groups. This study investigated the association between PYCARD gene polymorphism and susceptibility to periodontal disease and coronary heart disease (CHD) and their correlation with clinical periodontal indices. A total of 120 participants were enrolled, categorized into four groups: 30 healthy controls (C), 30 patients with generalized periodontitis (P), 30 patients with atherosclerotic CHD but clinically healthy periodontium (AS-C), and 30 patients with both atherosclerotic CHD and generalized periodontitis (AS-P). We recorded demographic data, collected blood samples, and measured periodontal indices, including plaque index, clinical attachment loss, bleeding on probing, and pocket depth. The genomic variant of the PYCARD gene was analyzed using a conventional polymerase reaction. A significant prevalence of T and G allele mutations and a higher distribution of CT and TT genotypes in PYCARD C/T (rs8056505) and the AG genotype in PYCARD A/G (rs372507365) were observed in groups P, AS-P, and AS-C. These single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were also positively correlated with the severity of clinical periodontitis indices. Our findings suggest that the increased frequency of T and G alleles and the distribution of CT, TT, and AG genotypes in PYCARD SNPs are significantly associated with an elevated risk for periodontal disease and CHD. These SNPs may participate in the pathogenesis of these conditions. The study reinforces the potential role of these genetic markers as risk factors for both diseases in the Iraqi population.

Abstract
This paper presents the results of comprehensive in vivo studies into the osseointegration behavior of medical implants for maxillofacial surgery produced from nanostructured grade 4 titanium. Special attention is given to the phenomenology of bone tissue formation with consideration of its surface relief features and to evaluating the quantitative parameters of the morphological indicators of osteoblast and endothelial cells in the osseointegration zone. These parameters were compared with their measurement data for standard factory-made implants, and considerable acceleration in the fixation of nanotitanium implants due to osseointegation was found. The obtained results indicate a better osseointegration of implants made of nanotitanium in comparison to similar standard products.

Abstract
Cytotoxic drugs have long been recognised to kill cancer cells through apoptosis. According to a current study, pyroptosis inhibits cell proliferation and shrinks tumors. Pyroptosis and apoptosis are caspase-dependent programmed cell death (PCD) processes. Inflammasomes activate caspase-1 and latent cytokines, including IL-1β and IL-18, to cleave gasdermin E (GSDME) and induce pyroptosis. Gasdermin proteins activate caspase-3 to induce pyroptosis, which is associated with tumour genesis, development, and therapy response. These proteins may serve as therapeutic biomarkers for cancer detection, and their antagonists may be a new target. Caspase-3, a crucial protein in both pyroptosis and apoptosis, governs tumour cytotoxicity when activated, and GSDME expression modulates this. Once active caspase-3 cleaves GSDME, its N-terminal domain punches holes in the cell membrane, causing it to expand, burst, and die. To understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms of PCD mediated by caspase-3 and GSDME, we focused on pyroptosis. Hence, caspase-3 and GSDME may be promising targets for cancer treatment.

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

Abstract
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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peri-implantitis is the main cause of dental implant failure, which is associated with pyroptosis. The roles of D-aspartic acid (D-Asp) on pyroptosis and the mechanism of the protective effect of D-Asp on human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) remain unknown. This study investigated the effects of D-Asp on the pyroptosis of HGFs induced by high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1). METHODS The cytotoxic effects of D-Asp on HGFs was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, the membrane permeability was investigated by propidium iodide/ Hoechst 33,342 double staining, flow cytometry analysis, and lactate dehydrogenase releasing, The gene and protein expression levels were detected by real-time quantitative PCR, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and Western blot, respectively. RESULTS Cell viability analysis showed that D-Asp ≤ 30 mM had no cytotoxicity to HGFs. HMGB1 drastically raised the membrane permeability of HGFs, while 1/10/30 mM D-Asp suppressed the permeability and remained the integrity of the membrane. HMGB1 promoted the mRNA expression of NLRP3, caspase-1, GSDMD, IL-1β, and IL-18, and the protein expression of IL-1β, IL-18, caspase-1, GSDMD, and NLRP3. CONCLUSIONS With the pretreatment of HGFs with D-Asp of 1/10/30 mM for 24 h, the cell membrane permeability was reduced and the expression of NLRP3, caspase-1, GSDMD, IL-1β, and IL-18 was significantly decreased compared with the HMGB1 group, indicating the competitive antagonism of D-Asp against HMGB1 on the binding with toll-like receptors. Hence, this study may provide a novel insight into preventing pyroptosis and propose a new strategy for the treatment of peri-implantitis.

Abstract
Gasdermin E (GSDME) is a member of the gasdermin protein family, which mediates programmed cell death including apoptosis and pyroptosis. Recently, it was suggested that GSDME is activated by chemotherapeutic drugs to stimulate pyroptosis of cancer cells and trigger anti-tumor immunity, which is identified as a tumor suppressor. However, GSDME-mediated pyroptosis contributes to normal tissue damage, leading to pathological inflammations. Inhibiting GSDME-mediated pyroptosis might be a potential target in ameliorating inflammatory diseases. Therefore, targeting GSDME is a promising option for the treatment of diseases in the future. In this review, we introduce the roles of GSDME-driven programmed cell death in different diseases and the potential targeted therapies of GSDME, so as to provide a foundation for future research.
