Song D, He J, Cheng T, Jin L, Li S, Chen B, Li Y, Liao C. Cystathionine γ-lyase contributes to exacerbation of periodontal destruction in experimental periodontitis under hyperglycemia. J Periodontol 2024. [PMID: 38937859 DOI: 10.1002/jper.23-0811] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 05/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is one of the major inflammatory comorbidities of periodontitis via 2-way interactions. Cystathionine γ-lyase (CTH) is a pivotal endogenous enzyme synthesizing hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and CTH/H2S is crucially implicated in modulating inflammation in various diseases. This study aimed to explore the potential role of CTH in experimental periodontitis under a hyperglycemic condition. METHODS CTH-silenced and normal human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) were cultured in a high glucose and Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (P.g-LPS) condition. The effects of CTH on hPDLCs were assessed by Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK8), real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The model of experimental periodontitis under hyperglycemia was established on both Cth-/- and wild-type (WT) mice, and the extent of periodontal destruction was assessed by micro-CT, histology, RNA-Seq, Western blot, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and immunostaining. RESULTS CTH mRNA expression increased in hPDLCs in response to increasing concentration of P.g-LPS stimulation in a high glucose medium. With reference to WT mice, Cth-/- mice with experimental periodontitis under hyperglycemia exhibited reduced bone loss, decreased leukocyte infiltration and hindered osteoclast formation, along with reduced expression of proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in periodontal tissue. RNA-seq-enriched altered NF-κB pathway signaling in healthy murine gingiva with experimental periodontitis mice under hyperglycemia. Accordingly, phosphorylation of p65 (P-p65) was alleviated in CTH-silenced hPDLCs, leading to decreased expression of IL6 and TNF. CTH knockdown inhibited activation of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) pathway and decreased production of proinflammatory cytokines under high glucose and P.g-LPS treatment. CONCLUSION The present findings suggest the potential of CTH as a therapeutic target for tackling periodontitis in diabetic patients.

Yunnan Baiyao Might Mitigate Periodontitis Bone Destruction by Inhibiting Autophagy and Promoting Osteoblast Differentiation in vivo, ex vivo and in vitro. J Inflamm Res 2024; 17:2271-2284. [PMID: 38645877 PMCID: PMC11027930 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s454694] [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: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and Objective Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that eventually destroys tooth-supporting tissue. Yunnan Baiyao (YNBY), a traditional Chinese medicine compound with haemostatic and anti-inflammatory properties has shown therapeutic potential in several diseases. Our previous study revealed that YNBY suppressed osteoclast differentiation in periodontitis. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influences of YNBY on osteoblasts and explore its potential mechanisms. Materials and Methods A rat periodontitis model was established by ligation of maxillary second molars. After the end of modelling, histopathological observation by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Masson trichrome staining, detection of bone resorption by Micro-CT scanning, detection of osteoclasts by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, expression of osteocalcin (OCN) and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) by immunohistochemistry. Lipopolysaccharides was used to irritate MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells and ex vivo calvarial organ as an in vitro model of inflammation. CCK-8 assay was performed to examine the toxicity of YNBY to MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells. Osteogenesis was assessed with alizarin red staining, immunofluorescence staining, Western blot and immunohistochemical staining. Transmission electron microscopy, fluorescent double staining, Western blot and immunohistochemical staining were employed to detect autophagy. Results Histological and micro-CT analyses revealed that YNBY gavage reduced bone loss caused by experimental periodontitis and upregulated osteogenic proteins in vivo. YNBY attenuated the production of autophagy-related proteins in periodontitis rats. Additionally, YNBY promoted osteogenesis by inhibiting inflammation-induced autophagy in vitro. Furthermore, YNBY suppressed LPS-mediated bone resorption and promoted the production of osteoblast-related proteins in inflamed calvarial tissues ex vivo. Conclusion This study demonstrated, through in vivo, in vitro and ex vivo experiments, that YNBY promoted osteoblast differentiation by suppressing autophagy, which markedly alleviated bone destruction caused by periodontitis.

Alterations and correlations in dental plaque microbial communities and metabolome characteristics in patients with caries, periodontitis, and comorbid diseases. BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:132. [PMID: 38273329 PMCID: PMC10811826 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-03785-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUNDS The pathogenic microorganisms and clinical manifestations of caries and periodontitis are different, caries and periodontitis are usually discussed separately, and the relationship between them is ignored. Clinically, patients prone to dental caries generally have a healthier periodontal status, whereas patients with periodontitis generally have a lower incidence of dental caries. The relationship between dental caries and periodontitis remains unclear. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explain the clinical phenomenon of antagonism between dental caries and periodontitis by exploring the ecological chain and bacterial interactions in dental caries, periodontitis, and other comorbid diseases. METHODS The dental plaque microbiomes of 30 patients with oral diseases (10 each with caries, periodontitis, and comorbid diseases) were sequenced and analysed using 16 S rRNA gene sequencing. The Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database was used for a differential functional analysis of dental plaque microbial communities in caries, periodontitis, and comorbid diseases. RESULTS The coinfection group had the greatest bacterial richness in dental plaque. The principal coordinate analysis showed that caries and periodontitis were separate from each other, and comorbid diseases were located at the overlap of caries and periodontitis, with most of them being periodontitis. Simultaneously, we compared the microbiomes with significant differences among the three groups and the correlations between the microbiome samples. In addition, KEGG pathway analysis revealed significant differences in functional changes among the three groups. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed the composition of the dental plaque microbial communities in caries, periodontitis, and comorbidities and the differences among the three. Additionally, we identified a possible antagonism between periodontitis and caries. We identified a new treatment strategy for the prediction and diagnosis of caries and periodontitis.

Abstract
SCOPE Periodontitis is one of the most prevalent chronic inflammatory diseases with impaired autophagy. Agaricus blazei Murrill polysaccharide (ABMP) shows beneficial effects in various inflammatory diseases. However, whether ABMP is involved in autophagy regulation and periodontitis attenuation remains to be elucidated. METHODS AND RESULTS This study firstly shows the dynamic changes in inflammatory and autophagy levels in silk ligature periodontitis model. Then the positive regulation effect of autophagy on inflammation and its vital role in ABMP inhibiting PDLCs inflammatory response are testified in LPS-treated PDLCs. Secondly, the Micro-CT, quantitative RT-PCR, Western Blot, TRAP, and immunofluorescence staining analysis are performed to assess the effects of ABMP on periodontitis and autophagy. The data show the augmented autophagy and alleviated gingival recession, inflammatory cell infiltration, alveolar bone resorption, and reduced osteoclasts in periodontitis by ABMP treatment. Further experiments using chemical inhibitors demonstrate the vital role of H2 S/NRF2 axis in ABMP-induced appropriate level of autophagy augmentation against periodontitis. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, the findings not only reveal the unrecognized capacity and mechanism of ABMP as an effective and potential dietary intake against periodontitis, but also suggest the possibility for ABMP to be used in the treatment of other autophagy-related diseases.

Inflammation 2023; 46:1997-2010.

Abstract
As a chronic inflammatory disease, periodontitis involves many biological processes including autophagy. At the same time, casein kinase 2 interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1) was reported to play a role in regulation of inflammation. But whether CKIP-1 and autophagy interact in periodontitis remains unclear. In this paper, our research team verified the levels of CKIP-1 expression and autophagy increase in the periodontal tissues of a ligature-induced periodontitis mouse model. And this result was also confirmed in Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg)-induced human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) and human periodontal ligament cells (PDLC). We also showed the autophagy level in periodontal tissues is higher in Ckip-1 knockout (KO) mice than wild type (WT). At the same time, CKIP-1 knockdown lentivirus was used in PDLC and HGF, and it was found that silencing CKIP-1 significantly activated autophagy. Unfortunately, the regulatory role of autophagy in periodontitis is still unclear. Then, the autophagy agonist Rapamycin and inhibitor 3-MA were used in a periodontitis mouse model to investigate periodontal tissue destruction. We found the inflammation in periodontal tissue was reduced when autophagy activated. All these conclusions have been verified both in vivo and in vitro experiments. Finally, our research proved that silencing CKIP-1 reduces the expression of inflammatory cytokines in Pg-induced PDLC and HGF by regulating autophagy. Overall, a new role for CKIP-1 in regulating periodontal tissue inflammation was demonstrated in our study, and it is possible to treat periodontitis by targeting the CKIP-1 gene.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a common chronic bacteria-initiated inflammatory disease that is closely associated with various systemic diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Periodontitis and COPD share similar risk factors, pathology and microorganisms. Epidemiological and clinical research have shown positive correlation between the two diseases. Individuals with severe periodontitis had a higher risk of developing COPD. Moreover, the relative risk of COPD in severe periodontitis was much higher compared to people without periodontal disease and patients with mild to moderate periodontitis. COPD patients with periodontitis had a higher frequency of COPD exacerbation and periodontal treatment demonstrated some control of COPD. However, the nature of periodontitis affecting COPD still needs further exploration. Periodontitis caused microbial and immune imbalances of the lung through several aspects: (I) under periodontitis status, periodontal pathogens directly caused the lung inflammatory reaction after inhalation and colonization on the lung, (II) periodontitis status promoted the oral colonization of pneumonia-associated pathogens, (III) periodontitis status affected the respiratory epithelium structure and (IV) periodontitis status caused imbalances in neutrophils, macrophages and inflammatory cytokines. In this review, we conclude the association between periodontitis and COPD through several aspects and further discuss the potential mechanism by which periodontitis affects COPD.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide has been recently identified as the third biological gasotransmitter, along with the more well studied nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). Intensive studies on its potential as a therapeutic agent for cardiovascular, inflammatory, infectious and neuropathological diseases have been undertaken. Here we review the possible direct targets of H2S in mammals. H2S directly interacts with reactive oxygen/nitrogen species and is involved in redox signaling. H2S also reacts with hemeproteins and modulates metal-containing complexes. Once being oxidized, H2S can persulfidate proteins by adding -SSH to the amino acid cysteine. These direct modifications by H2S have significant impact on cell structure and many cellular functions, such as tight junctions, autophagy, apoptosis, vesicle trafficking, cell signaling, epigenetics and inflammasomes. Therefore, we conclude that H2S is involved in many important cellular and physiological processes. Compounds that donate H2S to biological systems can be developed as therapeutics for different diseases.

Abstract
Nucleotide-binding oligomeric domain (NOD)-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) is a recently discovered cytoplasmic multiprotein complex involved in inflammation. The NLRP3 inflammasome contains NLRP3, apoptosis-related specific protein (ASC) and precursor caspase-1. The NLRP3 inflammasome is involved in many diseases, including diabetes. H2S is a harmful gas with a rotten egg smell. Recently, it has been identified as the third gas signal molecule after nitric oxide and carbon monoxide. It has many biological functions and plays an important role in many diseases, including diabetes. In recent years, it has been reported that H2S regulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome contributes to a variety of diseases. However, the mechanism has not been fully understood. In this review, we summarized the recent role and mechanism of H2S in regulating the NLRP3 inflammasome in diabetes, in order to provide a theoretical basis for future research.

Abstract
Oral diseases are among the most common human diseases yet less studied. These diseases affect both the physical, mental, and social health of the patients resulting in poor quality of life. They affect all ages, although severe stages are mostly observed in older individuals. Poor oral hygiene, genetics, and environmental factors contribute enormously to the development and progression of these diseases. Although there are available treatment options for these diseases, the recurrence of the diseases hinders their efficiency. Oral volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) are highly produced in oral cavity as a result of bacteria activities. Together with bacteria components such as lipopolysaccharides, VSCs participate in the progression of oral diseases by regulating cellular activities and interfering with the immune response. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gaseous neurotransmitter primarily produced endogenously and is involved in the regulation of cellular activities. The gas is also among the VSCs produced by oral bacteria. In numerous diseases, H2S have been reported to have dual effects depending on the cell, concentration, and donor used. In oral diseases, high production and subsequent utilization of this gas have been reported. Also, this high production is associated with the progression of oral diseases. In this review, we will discuss the production of H2S in oral cavity, its interaction with cellular activities, and most importantly its role in oral diseases.
