Clin Sci (Lond) 2024; 138:725-739. [PMID: 38840496 DOI: 10.1042/cs20240036] [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: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Clinical studies have confirmed that galectin-3 (Gal-3) levels are significantly elevated in periodontitis patients. The present study aimed to explore the effects of Gal-3 inhibition on periodontal inflammation in vitro and in vivo. METHODS Human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) with or without Gal-3 knockdown were stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and a ligation-induced mouse periodontitis model treated with a Gal-3 inhibitor was established. Hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining were used to evaluate Gal-3 levels in gingival tissues. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to detect Gal-3, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and C-C motif ligand 2 (CCL2) expression. Immunofluorescence and western blotting were used to detect NF-κB and ERK signaling pathway activation. Micro-computed tomography was used to analyse the degree of bone loss. RESULTS Gal-3 was significantly up-regulated in inflamed gingival tissues and LPS-induced HGFs. Gal-3 knockdown markedly decreased LPS-induced IL-6, IL-8, and CCL2 expression and blocked NF-κB and ERK signaling pathway activation in HGFs. In the mouse periodontitis model, Gal-3 inhibition significantly alleviated IL-1β and IL-6 infiltration in gingival tissue and mitigated periodontal bone loss. CONCLUSIONS Gal-3 inhibition notably alleviated periodontal inflammation partly through blocking NF-κB and ERK signaling pathway activation.

The hydrogel is a kind of good biomaterial with an adjustable 3D network structure, excellent mechanical properties, and biocompatibility and is widely used in the basic and clinical research of endodontic disease. This Review discusses the recent advances in functional hydrogels for dental hard tissue and endodontic disease treatment. The emphasis is on the working principles and therapeutic effects of treating different diseases with functional hydrogels. Finally, the challenges and opportunities of hydrogels in oral clinical applications are discussed and proposed. Some viewpoints about the possible development direction of functional hydrogels for oral health in the future are also put forward. Through systematic analysis and conclusion of the recent advances in functional hydrogels for dental hard tissue and endodontic disease treatment, this Review may provide significant guidance and inspiration for oral disease and health in the future.

Abstract
Periodontitis is an immune-inflammatory disease caused by dental plaque, and deteriorates the periodontal ligament, causes alveolar bone loss, and may lead to tooth loss. To treat periodontitis, antibacterial and anti-inflammation approaches are required to reduce bone loss. Thus, appropriate drug administration methods are significant. Due to their "syringeability", biocompatibility, and convenience, injectable hydrogels and associated methods have been extensively studied and used for periodontitis therapy. Such hydrogels are made from natural and synthetic polymer materials using physical and/or chemical cross-linking approaches. Interestingly, some injectable hydrogels are stimuli-responsive hydrogels, which respond to the local microenvironment and form hydrogels that release drugs. Therefore, as injectable hydrogels are different and highly varied, we systematically reviewed the periodontal treatment field from three perspectives: raw material sources, cross-linking methods, and stimuli-responsive methods. We then discussed current challenges and opportunities for the translation of hydrogels to clinic, which may guide further injectable hydrogel designs for periodontitis.

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.

Abstract
Given the crucial role of immune system in the occurrence and progression of various diseases such as cancer, wound healing, bone defect, and inflammation-related diseases, immunomodulation is recognized as a potential solution for treatment of these diseases. Immunomodulation includes both immunosuppression in hyperactive immune conditions and immune activation in hypoactive conditions. For these purposes, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are investigated to modulate immune responses either by their own bioactivities or by delivering immunomodulatory agents due to their excellent biodegradability and high delivery capacity. This review starts with an overview of the synthesis strategies of immunomodulatory MOFs, followed by a summarization on the latest applications of immunomodulatory MOFs in cancer immunomodulatory, wound healing, inflammatory disease, and bone tissue engineering. A variety of design considerations, in order to optimize immunomodulatory properties and efficacy of MOFs, is also involved. Last, the challenges and perspectives of future research, which are expected to provide researchers with new insight into the design and application of immunomodulatory MOFs, are discussed.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a bacterially induced chronic destructive inflammatory disease that leads to irreversible destruction of the tooth supporting structure, including connective tissue destruction, bone resorption, and even tooth loss. Until now, there has been no effective treatment to repair inflammatory bone loss in periodontitis. Recently, small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) emerged as the essential paracrine factors of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that mediated tissue regeneration. However, limitations of antimicrobial activity associated with the use of sEVs have led to the urgency of new alternative strategies. Currently, we investigated the potential of a biocompatible oxygen-releasing thermosensitive hydrogel laded with sEVs secreted by bone marrow MSCs (BMMSCs) for the alveolar bone defect in periodontitis. The hydrogel composed of different polymers such as chitosan (CS), poloxamer 407 (P407), and cross-linked hyaluronic acid (c-HA) conglomerating is a kind of nanoporous structure material. Then, the gel matrix further encapsulated sEVs and calcium peroxide nanoparticles to realize the control of sEVs and oxygen release. Furthermore, ascorbic acid was added to achieve the REDOX equilibrium and acid-base equilibrium. The experiments in vivo and in vitro proved its good biocompatibility and effectively inhibited the growth of the periodontal main anaerobe, relieved periodontal pocket anaerobic infections, and promoted the periodontal defect regeneration. Therefore, this finding demonstrated that it was a promising approach for combating anaerobic pathogens with enhanced and selective properties in periodontal diseases, even in other bacteria-induced infections, for future clinical application.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by the local microbiome and the host immune response, resulting in periodontal structure damage and even tooth loss. Scaling and root planning combined with antibiotics are the conventional means of nonsurgical treatment of periodontitis, but they are insufficient to fully heal periodontitis due to intractable bacterial attachment and drug resistance. Novel and effective therapeutic options in clinical drug therapy remain scarce. Nanotherapeutics achieve stable cell targeting, oral retention and smart release by great flexibility in changing the chemical composition or physical characteristics of nanoparticles. Meanwhile, the protectiveness and high surface area to volume ratio of nanoparticles enable high drug loading, ensuring a remarkable therapeutic efficacy. Currently, the combination of advanced nanoparticles and novel therapeutic strategies is the most active research area in periodontitis treatment. In this review, we first introduce the pathogenesis of periodontitis, and then summarize the state-of-the-art nanotherapeutic strategies based on the triple concerto of antibacterial activity, immunomodulation and periodontium regeneration, particularly focusing on the therapeutic mechanism and ingenious design of nanomedicines.

Hydroxyapatite-Coated Small Intestinal Submucosa Membranes Enhanced Periodontal Tissue Regeneration through Immunomodulation and Osteogenesis via BMP-2/Smad Signaling Pathway. Adv Healthc Mater 2024; 13:e2301479. [PMID: 37739439 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202301479] [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: 05/08/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
Periodontitis, a chronic infection causing periodontal tissue loss, may be effectively addressed with in situ tissue engineering. Small intestinal submucosa (SIS) offers exceptional biocompatibility and biodegradability but lacks sufficient osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties. This study develops and characterizes SIS coated with hydroxyapatite (SIS-HA) and gelatin methacrylate hydroxyapatite (SIS-Gel-HA) using biomineralization and chemical crosslinking. The impact on periodontal tissue regeneration is assessed by evaluating macrophage immune response and osteogenic differentiation potential of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) in vitro and rat periodontal defects in vivo. The jejunum segment, with the highest collagen type I content, is optimal for SIS preparation. SIS retains collagen fiber structure and bioactive factors. Calcium content is 2.21% in SIS-HA and 2.45% in SIS-Gel-HA, with no significant differences in hydrophilicity, physicochemical properties, protein composition, or biocompatibility among SIS, SIS-HA, SIS-Gel, and SIS-Gel-HA. SIS is found to upregulate M2 marker expression, both SIS-HA and SIS-Gel-HA enhance the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs through the BMP-2/Smad signaling pathway, and SIS-HA demonstrates superior in vitro osteogenic activity. In vivo, SIS-HA and SIS-Gel-HA yield denser, more mature bones with the highest BMP-2 and Smad expression. SIS-HA and SIS-Gel-HA demonstrate enhanced immunity-osteogenesis coupling, representing a promising periodontal tissue regeneration approach.

Abstract
Deregulated inflammations induced by various factors are one of the most common diseases in people's daily life, while severe inflammation can even lead to death. Thus, the efficient treatment of inflammation has always been the hot topic in the research of medicine. In the past decades, as a potential biomaterial, stimuli-responsive hydrogels have been a focus of attention for the inflammation treatment due to their excellent biocompatibility and design flexibility. Recently, thanks to the rapid development of nanotechnology and material science, more and more efforts have been made to develop safer, more personal and more effective hydrogels for the therapy of some frequent but tough inflammations such as sepsis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, periodontitis, and ulcerative colitis. Herein, from recent studies and articles, the conventional and emerging hydrogels in the delivery of anti-inflammatory drugs and the therapy for various inflammations are summarized. And their prospects of clinical translation and future development are also discussed in further detail.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have a high specific surface area, adjustable pores and can be used to obtain functional porous materials with diverse and well-ordered structures through coordination and self-assembly, which has intrigued wide interest in a broad range of disciplines. In the arena of biomedical engineering, the functionalized modification of MOFs has produced drug carriers with excellent dispersion and functionalities such as target delivery and response release, with promising applications in bio-detection, disease therapy, tissue healing, and other areas. This review summarizes the present state of research on the functionalization of MOFs by physical binding or chemical cross-linking of small molecules, polymers, biomacromolecules, and hydrogels and evaluates the role and approach of MOFs functionalization in boosting the reactivity of materials. On this basis, research on the application of functionalized MOFs composites in biomedical engineering fields such as drug delivery, tissue repair, disease treatment, bio-detection and imaging is surveyed, and the development trend and application prospects of functionalized MOFs as an important new class of biomedical materials in the biomedical field are anticipated, which may provide some inspiration and reference for further development of MOF for bio-medical applications.

Abstract
Zeolites and zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are crystalline aluminosilicates with porous structure, which are closely linked with nanomaterials. They are characterized by enhanced ion exchange capacity, physical-chemical stability, thermal stability and biocompatibility, making them a promising material for dental applications. This review aimed to provide an overview of the application of zeolites and ZIFs in dentistry. The common zeolite compounds for dental application include silver zeolite, zinc zeolite, calcium zeolite and strontium zeolite. The common ZIFs for dental application include ZIF-8 and ZIF-67. Zeolites and ZIFs have been employed in various areas of dentistry, such as restorative dentistry, endodontics, prosthodontics, implantology, periodontics, orthodontics and oral surgery. In restorative dentistry, zeolites and ZIFs are used as antimicrobial additives in dental adhesives and restorative materials. In endodontics, zeolites are used in root-end fillings, root canal irritants, root canal sealers and bone matrix scaffolds for peri-apical diseases. In prosthodontics, zeolites can be incorporated into denture bases, tissue conditioners, soft denture liners and dental prostheses. In implantology, zeolites and ZIFs are applied in dental implants, bone graft materials, bone adhesive hydrogels, drug delivery systems and electrospinning. In periodontics, zeolites can be applied as antibacterial agents for deep periodontal pockets, while ZIFs can be embedded in guided tissue regeneration membranes and guided bone regeneration membranes. In orthodontics, zeolites can be applied in orthodontic appliances. Additionally, for oral surgery, zeolites can be used in oral cancer diagnostic marker membranes, maxillofacial prosthesis silicone elastomer and tooth extraction medicines, while ZIFs can be incorporated to osteogenic glue or used as a carrier for antitumour drugs. In summary, zeolites have a broad application in dentistry and are receiving more attention from clinicians and researchers.

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

Periodontitis is the second most prevalent oral disease and can cause serious harm to human health. Hydrogels are excellent biomaterials that can be used for periodontitis as drug delivery platforms to achieve inflammation control through high drug delivery efficiency and sustained drug release and as tissue scaffolds to achieve tissue remodelling through encapsulated cell wrapping and effective mass transfer. In this review, we summarize the latest advances in the treatment of periodontitis with hydrogels. The pathogenic mechanisms of periodontitis are introduced first, followed by the recent progress of hydrogels in controlling inflammation and tissue reconstruction, in which the specific performance of hydrogels is discussed in detail. Finally, the challenges and limitations of hydrogels for clinical applications in periodontitis are discussed and possible directions for development are proposed. This review aims to provide a reference for the design and fabrication of hydrogels for the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
Hydrogel drug delivery systems possess unique structures and properties and hence can be injected and retained in the periodontal pocket for slow and controlled release of medications with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and periodontal tissue regeneration-promotional effects. Due to their safety, practicability, and effectiveness, they show great potential in the treatment of periodontitis. In this paper, we gave an overview of hydrogel drug delivery systems in the treatment of periodontitis, summing up the classification and forms of the drugs delivered and the strengths and weaknesses of common types of hydrogel matrixes. In addition, we discussed properties required for hydrogel drug delivery systems applicable in the treatment of periodontitis, including a certain level of viscosity, suitable degradation cycle, and temperature sensitivity. Finally, we summarized the stimulus responsiveness types of hydrogel drug delivery systems applicable in the treatment of periodontitis, including pH-responsiveness, enzyme-responsiveness, reactive oxygen species-responsiveness, light-responsiveness, and sugar-responsiveness. In the future, researchers should make further investigation into the clinical efficacy of hydrogel drug delivery systems and promote their translation into clinical applications. Additionally, hydrogel drug delivery systems carrying biologic drugs could be further investigated to promote advancement in the field of periodontal tissue regeneration. Furthermore, the response sources, realization strategies, and safe preparation methods of smart hydrogel drug delivery systems should also be further clarified and explored to achieve drug delivery of better efficiency and safety. In addition to drug delivery, hydrogel matrixes with medicinal values also show great promises.

Abstract
With the advancement of biomedical research into antimicrobial treatments for various diseases, the source and delivery of antibiotics have attracted attention. In periodontal diseases, antibiotics are integral in positive treatment outcomes; however, the use of antibiotics is with caution as the potential for the emergence of resistant strains is of concern. Over the years, conventional routes of drug administration have been proven to be effective for the treatment of PD, yet the problem of antibiotic resistance to conventional therapies continues to remain a setback in future treatments. Hydrogels fabricated from natural and synthetic polymers have been extensively applied in biomedical sciences for the delivery of potent biological compounds. These polymeric materials either have intrinsic antibacterial properties or serve as good carriers for the delivery of antibacterial agents. The biocompatibility, low toxicity and biodegradability of some hydrogels have favoured their consideration as prospective carriers for antibacterial drug delivery in PD. This article reviews PD and its antibiotic treatment options, the role of bacteria in PD and the potential of hydrogels as antibacterial agents and for antibiotic drug delivery in PD. Finally, potential challenges and future directions of hydrogels for use in PD treatment and diagnosis are also highlighted.

Abstract
Hydrogels are essential biomaterials due to their favorable biocompatibility, mechanical properties similar to human soft tissue extracellular matrix, and tissue repair properties. In skin wound repair, hydrogels with antibacterial functions are especially suitable for dressing applications, so novel antibacterial hydrogel wound dressings have attracted widespread attention, including the design of components, optimization of preparation methods, strategies to reduce bacterial resistance, etc. In this review, we discuss the fabrication of antibacterial hydrogel wound dressings and the challenges associated with the crosslinking methods and chemistry of the materials. We have investigated the advantages and limitations (antibacterial effects and antibacterial mechanisms) of different antibacterial components in the hydrogels to achieve good antibacterial properties, and the response of hydrogels to stimuli such as light, sound, and electricity to reduce bacterial resistance. Conclusively, we provide a systematic summary of antibacterial hydrogel wound dressings findings (crosslinking methods, antibacterial components, antibacterial methods) and an outlook on long-lasting antibacterial effects, a broader antibacterial spectrum, diversified hydrogel forms, and the future development prospects of the field.

Abstract
Tissue regeneration and remineralization in teeth is a long-term and complex biological process, including the regeneration of pulp and periodontal tissue, and re-mineralization of dentin, cementum and enamel. Suitable materials are needed to provide cell scaffolds, drug carriers or mineralization in this environment. These materials need to regulate the unique odontogenesis process. Hydrogel-based materials are considered good scaffolds for pulp and periodontal tissue repair in the field of tissue engineering due to their inherent biocompatibility and biodegradability, slow release of drugs, simulation of extracellular matrix, and the ability to provide a mineralized template. The excellent properties of hydrogels make them particularly attractive in the research of tissue regeneration and remineralization in teeth. This paper introduces the latest progress of hydrogel-based materials in pulp and periodontal tissue regeneration and hard tissue mineralization and puts forward prospects for their future application. Overall, this review reveals the application of hydrogel-based materials in tissue regeneration and remineralization in teeth.

Abstract
Bone and cartilage regeneration is an area of tremendous interest and need in health care. Tissue engineering is a potential strategy for repairing and regenerating bone and cartilage defects. Hydrogels are among the most attractive biomaterials in bone and cartilage tissue engineering, mainly due to their moderate biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, and 3D network structure. Stimuli-responsive hydrogels have been a hot topic in recent decades. They can respond to external or internal stimulation and are used in the controlled delivery of drugs and tissue engineering. This review summarizes current progress in the use of stimuli-responsive hydrogels in bone and cartilage regeneration. The challenges, disadvantages, and future applications of stimuli-responsive hydrogels are briefly described.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel loa-ded with minocycline-chitosan-nanoparticles (MCN) for the treatment of periodontitis in vitro and vivo. METHODS MCN were synthesized by ionic gel method. GelMA/MCN composite hydrogels were prepared by compounding MCN with GelMA hydrogel. The materials were characterized by transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The degradation behavior and drug release rates of hydrogels were evaluated. The antibacterial activity of GelMA/MCN hydrogel against Porphyromonas gingivalis was detected, and the minimum antibacterial concentration was determined. Biocompatibility and osteogenic experiments were conducted under a simulated periodontitis environment. A rat model of periodontitis was constructed to observe the therapeutic effects of GelMA/MCN hydrogel. RESULTS MCN was successfully synthesized with a particle size of about 80 nm, while the structures of GelMA/MCN had no significant differences from GelMA. MCN and GelMA/MCN released minocycline slowly and steadily. Bacterial growth was completely inhibited when the MCN concentration was higher than or equal to 0.2 mg·mL-1. GelMA/MCN hydrogels exhibited good biocompatibility at effective antimicrobial concentrations under the simulated periodontitis environment with the enzyme. The in vivo results showed that GelMA/MCN prevented the progression of periodontitis and promoted the repair of bone defects. CONCLUSIONS GelMA/MCN composite hydrogel can release minocycline slowly and steadily and has good antibacterial activity and biocompatibility to promote the repair of periodontitis bone defects.
