Effect of nitro-conjugated linoleic acid on the inflammatory response of murine macrophages activated with lipopolysaccharide derived from Prevotella intermedia. Inflammopharmacology 2024; 32:561-573. [PMID: 37921960 DOI: 10.1007/s10787-023-01340-8] [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: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 11/05/2023]
Abstract
Nitro-conjugated linoleic acid (NO2-CLA) has been observed to manifest salutary signaling responses, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Here, the authors have explored the influence and underlying mechanisms of NO2-CLA on the proinflammatory reaction of murine macrophages that were challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from Prevotella intermedia, a putative periodontopathic bacterium. Treatment of LPS-activated RAW264.7 cells with NO2-CLA notably dampened the secretion of iNOS-derived NO, IL-1β and IL-6 as well as their gene expressions and significantly enhanced the markers for M2 macrophage polarization. NO2-CLA promoted the HO-1 expression in cells challenged with LPS, and tin protoporphyrin IX, an HO-1 inhibitor, significantly reversed the NO2-CLA-mediated attenuation of NO secretion, but not IL-1β or IL-6. We found that cells treated with NO2-CLA significantly increased mRNA expression of PPAR-γ compared to control cells, and NO2-CLA significantly reverted the decrease in PPAR-γ mRNA caused by LPS. Nonetheless, antagonists to PPAR-γ were unable to reverse the NO2-CLA-mediated suppression of inflammatory mediators. In addition, NO2-CLA did not alter the p38 and JNK activation elicited by LPS. Both NF-κB reporter activity and IκB-α degradation caused by LPS were notably diminished by NO2-CLA. NO2-CLA was observed to interrupt the nuclear translocation and DNA binding of p50 subunits caused by LPS with no obvious alterations in p65 subunits. Further, NO2-CLA attenuated the phosphorylation of STAT1/3 elicited in response to LPS. We propose that NO2-CLA could be considered as a possible strategy for the therapy of periodontal disease, although additional researches are certainly required to confirm this.

Abstract
Studies have shown that nifedipine exerts anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive actions in addition to being a calcium channel blocker. The present study was performed to explore the influence of nifedipine on alveolar bone destruction in mice with experimental periodontitis by evaluating morphological information acquired from micro-computed tomography analysis. BALB/c mice were randomly assigned into four groups: control (C) group; experimental periodontitis (E) group; experimental periodontitis + 10 mg/kg dose of nifedipine (EN10) group; and experimental periodontitis + 50 mg/kg dose of nifedipine (EN50) group. Periodontitis was induced by oral inoculation with Porphyromonas gingivalis over a 3-week time period. Nifedipine significantly mitigated the loss of alveolar bone height as well as increase of root surface exposure induced by experimental periodontitis. Additionally, the reduction in the bone volume fraction associated with P. gingivalis infection was significantly recovered upon nifedipine treatment. Further, nifedipine attenuated P. gingivalis-induced deteriorations in the trabeculae-associated parameters. Significant difference was evident between Groups EN10 and EN50 in both the extent of alveolar bone loss and microstructural parameters assessed, except trabecular separation and trabecular number. Nifedipine appeared to have good performance in ameliorating bone loss in mice with induced periodontitis. Nifedipine may be utilized in the clinical management of periodontitis, though further research is indicated to verify the therapeutic effect.

Abstract
CONTEXT Many reports in the literature have suggested the therapeutic value of carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (CORMs) against various diseases. However, to date, little is known about their possible influence on periodontal disease. OBJECTIVE This study was performed to investigate the influence of CORM-401 on the generation of nitric oxide (NO) in murine macrophage cells activated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from Prevotella intermedia, a pathogen associated with periodontal disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS LPS was isolated by the hot phenol-water method. Culture supernatants were analyzed for NO. Real-time PCR and immunoblotting were conducted to quantify mRNA and protein expression, respectively. NF-κB-dependent SEAP levels were estimated by reporter assay. DNA-binding of NF-κB was also analyzed. RESULTS CORM-401 caused an apparent suppression of NO production through inhibition of iNOS at both the mRNA and protein levels in RAW264.7 cells stimulated with P. intermedia LPS. CORM-401 upregulated the expression of both the HO-1 gene and its protein in LPS-activated cells, and treatment with the HO-1 inhibitor significantly reversed the attenuating influence of CORM-401 against LPS-induced generation of NO. CORM-401 caused an apparent attenuation of NF-κB-dependent SEAP release induced by LPS. IκB-α degradation and nuclear translocation of NF-κB p50 subunit induced by LPS were significantly reduced by CORM-401. Additionally, CORM-401 significantly attenuated DNA-binding of p65 and p50 induced by LPS. CORM-401 attenuated NO generation induced by P. intermedia LPS independently of PPAR-γ, JNK, p38 and STAT1/3. CONCLUSION The modulation of host inflammatory response by CORM-401 might be of help in the therapy of periodontal disease.

Abstract
Prevotella species, a gram-negative obligate anaerobe, is commonly associated with human infections such as dental caries and periodontitis, as well as other conditions such as chronic osteomyelitis, bite-related infections, rheumatoid arthritis and intestinal diseases like ulcerative colitis. This generally harmless commensal possesses virulence factors such as adhesins, hemolysins, secretion systems exopolysaccharide, LPS, proteases, quorum sensing molecules and antibiotic resistance to evolve into a well-adapted pathogen capable of causing successful infection and proliferation in the host tissue. This review describes several of these virulence factors and their advantage to Prevotella spp. in causing inflammatory diseases like periodontitis. In addition, using genome analysis of Prevotella reference strains, we examined other putative virulence determinants which can provide insights as biomarkers and be the targets for effective interventions in Prevotella related diseases like periodontitis.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) is increasingly being appreciated as an important mediator that has pleiotropic biological properties and appears to have a possible therapeutic application for a variety of disorders. Nevertheless, whether this gaseous molecule may be utilized as a therapeutic intervention for periodontal disease is unclear. Here, we examined the potential beneficial effect of CO-releasing molecule-2 (CORM-2), a tricarbonyldichlororuthenium(II) dimer, against the elaboration of proinflammatory mediators by murine macrophages challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isolated from Prevotella intermedia, a pathogenic bacterium implicated in inflammatory periodontal disease. We found that NO and IL-1β production, iNOS protein expression and mRNA expressions of iNOS and IL-1β were significantly down-regulated when LPS-challenged RAW264.7 cells were exposed to CORM-2. In addition, HO-1 expression was upregulated by CORM-2 in cells activated with P. intermedia LPS, and the inhibitory influence of CORM-2 upon NO production was attenuated by tin protoporphyrin IX, an inhibitor of HO activity. PPAR-γ did not function in the attenuation of NO and IL-1β by CORM-2. JNK and p38 phosphorylation caused by LPS was not altered by CORM-2. CORM-2 reduced NF-κB reporter activity and IκB-α degradation elicited by P. intermedia LPS. Additionally, CORM-2 inhibited LPS-induced phosphorylation of STAT1/3. In conclusion, CORM-2 suppresses NO and IL-1β production caused by P. intermedia LPS. CORM-2 exerts its effect by a mechanism involving anti-inflammatory HO-1 induction and attenuation of NF-κB and STAT1/3 activation, independently of PPAR-γ as well as JNK and p38. CORM-2 may hold promise as host response modulation agent for periodontal disease, though further research is indicated to verify the therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker, has been reported to possess anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. The current study was undertaken to explore the influence of nifedipine on the generation of proinflammatory mediators by murine macrophages activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) prepared from Prevotella intermedia, a putative periodontal pathogen, and associated mechanisms of action as well. LPS was purified by employing phenol-water extraction protocol. Culture supernatants were analyzed for nitric oxide (NO) and interleukin (IL)-1β. Real-time PCR and immunoblotting were conducted to quantify mRNA and protein expression, respectively. NF-κB-dependent secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) levels were estimated by reporter assay. Nifedipine markedly suppressed the generation of iNOS-derived NO and IL-1β together with their mRNA expressions in murine macrophages activated by P. intermedia LPS. LPS-stimulated cells exposed to nifedipine notably increased the mRNA levels of Arg-1, Ym-1, FIZZ1, and TGF-β, which are typical markers for M2 macrophage polarization. Nifedipine induced HO-1 at both gene and protein levels in cells challenged with P. intermedia LPS, and the nifedipine-mediated inhibition of NO generation was significantly abrogated by adding SnPP, an HO-1 inhibitor. Nifedipine inhibited LPS-evoked generation of NO and IL-1β in a PPAR-γ-independent manner. In addition, NF-κB activation as well as phosphorylation of STAT1/3 induced by P. intermedia LPS was suppressed by nifedipine. Nifedipine is an inhibitor of P. intermedia LPS-evoked production of NO and IL-1β in murine macrophages and encourages macrophage polarization toward the M2 phenotype. Nifedipine possibly has potential to be used for host modulation of periodontal disease and is worth being further researched.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of NCX 2121, a nitric oxide (NO)-releasing derivative of indomethacin, upon the generation of proinflammatory mediators using murine macrophages activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isolated from Prevotella intermedia, which is one of the pathogens implicated in periodontal diseases. Inducible NO synthase (iNOS)-derived NO, IL-1β and IL-6 as well as their relevant mRNA were significantly attenuated by NCX 2121 in RAW264.7 cells activated by P. intermedia LPS. NCX 2121 was much more effective than the parental compound indomethacin in reducing these proinflammatory mediators. NCX 2121 triggered induction of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in cells exposed to P. intermedia LPS, and its inhibitory influence upon P. intermedia LPS-elicited NO generation was notably blocked by SnPP treatment. NCX 2121 attenuated NF-κB-dependent SEAP release induced by P. intermedia LPS. NCX 2121 did not display inhibitory action towards IκB-α degradation triggered by LPS. Instead, it significantly diminished nuclear translocation as well as DNA-binding action of NF-κB p50 subunit elicited by P. intermedia LPS. Further, NCX 2121 significantly up-regulated SOCS1 mRNA expression in cells challenged with P. intermedia LPS. In summary, NCX 2121 down-regulates P. intermedia LPS-elicited generation of NO, IL-1β and IL-6 in murine macrophages in a mechanism that involves anti-inflammatory HO-1 induction as well as decrement of NF-κB activation, which may be associated with SOCS1 expression. NCX 2121 may have potential benefits as a host immunomodulatory agent for the therapy of periodontal disease.

Abstract
In this study, the effects and underlying mechanisms of NCX 4040, a nitric oxide (NO)-donating aspirin derivative, on the production of proinflammatory mediators were examined using murine macrophages exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Prevotella intermedia, a pathogen implicated in the etiology of periodontal disease. NCX 4040 significantly reduced P. intermedia LPS-induced production of inducible NO synthase (iNOS)-derived NO, IL-1β and IL-6 as well as their mRNA expression in RAW264.7 cells. Notably, NCX 4040 was much more effective than the parental compound aspirin in reducing LPS-induced production of inflammatory mediators. NCX 4040 induced the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in cells treated with P. intermedia LPS, and the suppressive effect of NCX 4040 on LPS-induced NO production was significantly reversed by SnPP, a competitive HO-1 inhibitor. NCX 4040 did not influence LPS-induced phosphorylation of JNK and p38. IκB-α degradation as well as nuclear translocation and DNA-binding activities of NF-κB p65 and p50 subunits induced by P. intermedia LPS were significantly reduced by NCX 4040. Besides, LPS-induced phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT3 was significantly down-regulated by NCX 4040. Further, NCX 4040 elevated the SOCS1 mRNA in cells stimulated with LPS. This study indicates that NCX 4040 inhibits P. intermedia LPS-induced production of NO, IL-1β and IL-6 in murine macrophages through anti-inflammatory HO-1 induction and suppression of NF-κB, STAT1 and STAT3 activation, which is associated with the activation of SOCS1 signaling. NCX 4040 could potentially be a promising tool in the treatment of periodontal disease, although further studies are required to verify this.

[PMID: 26655950 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2015.11.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2015] [Revised: 09/08/2015] [Accepted: 11/23/2015] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Genistein is a major isoflavone subclass of flavonoids found in soybean and a potent tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The present study aimed to assess the effect of genistein on the production of proinflammatory mediators in murine macrophages stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isolated from Prevotella intermedia, a pathogen associated with different forms of periodontal disease, and to evaluate its possible influence on alveolar bone loss in ligature-induced periodontitis using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) analysis as well. DESIGN LPS was isolated from P. intermedia ATCC 25611 by using the standard hot phenol-water method. Culture supernatants were analyzed for nitric oxide (NO) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Inducible NO synthase (iNOS) protein expression was evaluated by immunoblot analysis. Real-time PCR was carried out to measure iNOS and IL-6 mRNA expression. In addition, effect of genistein on alveolar bone loss was evaluated in a rat model of experimental periodontitis using micro-CT analysis. RESULTS Genistein significantly attenuated P. intermedia LPS-induced production of iNOS-derived NO and IL-6 with attendant decrease in their mRNA expression in RAW264.7 cells. In addition, when genistein was administered to rats, decreases in alveolar bone height and bone volume fraction induced by ligature placement were significantly inhibited. Genistein administration also prevented ligature-induced alterations in the microstructural parameters of trabecular bone, including trabecular thickness, trabecular separation, bone mineral density and structure model index. CONCLUSIONS While additional studies are required, we suggest that genistein could be utilized for the therapy of human periodontitis in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence of certain oral pathogens at implant sites can hinder the osseointegration process. However, it is unclear how and by what microorganisms it happens. OBJECTIVES This study investigated whether the presence of oral pathogens of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia individually, play a role in the failure of bone formation by determining the expression profiles of Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-β/Bone Morphogenic Protein (BMP) and Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) pathways in challenged osteoblasts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cell viability of P. gingivalis and P. intermedia challenged osteoblasts were determined by WST assay. Changes in osteoblast morphology and inhibition of mineralization were observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Von Kossa staining, respectively. Expression of TGF-β and TLR pathway genes on challenged cells were identified by RT profiler array. Both P. gingivalis and P. intermedia challenges resulted in reduced viability and mineralization of osteoblasts. RESULTS Viability was reduced to 56.8% (P. gingivalis) and 52.75% (P. intermedia) at 1000 multiplicity. Amongst 48 genes examined, expressions of BMPER, SMAD1, IL8 and NFRKB were found to be highly upregulated by both bacterial challenges (Fold Change > 4). CONCLUSIONS P. gingivalis and P. intermedia could play a role in implant failure by changing the expression profiles of genes related to bone formation and resorption.

Abstract
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a nonhistone DNA-binding protein, is released into the extracellular space and promotes inflammation. HMGB1 binds to related cell signaling transduction receptors, including receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), which actively participate in vascular and inflammatory diseases. The aim of this study was to examine whether RAGE and HMGB1 are involved in the pathogenesis of pulpitis and investigate the effect of Prevotella intermedia (P. intermedia) lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on RAGE and HMGB1 expression in odontoblast-like cells (OLC-1). RAGE and HMGB1 expression levels in clinically inflamed dental pulp were higher than those in healthy dental pulp. Upregulated expression of RAGE was observed in odontoblasts, stromal pulp fibroblasts-like cells, and endothelial-like cell lining human pulpitis tissue. Strong cytoplasmic HMGB1 immunoreactivity was noted in odontoblasts, whereas nuclear HMGB1 immunoreactivity was seen in stromal pulp fibroblasts-like cells in human pulpitis tissue. LPS stimulated OLC-1 cells produced HMGB1 in a dose-dependent manner through RAGE. HMGB1 translocation towards the cytoplasm and secretion from OLC-1 in response to LPS was inhibited by TPCA-1, an inhibitor of NF-κB activation. These findings suggest that RAGE and HMGB1 play an important role in the pulpal immune response to oral bacterial infection.

Abstract
The precise regulation of odontoblast differentiation and osteoclastogenic cytokine expression in human dental pulp cells (HDPCs) is crucial for the pathology of bacteria-related pulpitis. Although the up-regulation of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 2 (NOD2) has been reported in inflamed human dental pulps, the role of NOD2 in the differentiation of HDPCs remains unclear. Here, we show the involvement of NOD2 in odontoblast differentiation together with osteoclastogenic cytokine expression in HDPCs. Treatment with muramyl dipeptide (MDP), a known NOD2-agonist, significantly inhibited odontoblast differentiation of HDPCs, as revealed by reduced ALP activity, osteoblast/odontoblast marker expression, and mineralized nodule formation. Importantly, the forced down-regulation of NOD2 by small interfering RNA (siRNA) recovered MDP-down-regulated odontoblast differentiation. MDP-elicited suppression of odontoblast differentiation resulted from the increased expression of MKP-1 protein and the subsequent decline of MAPKs phosphorylation, which is a prerequisite for odontoblast differentiation. Furthermore, we found that MDP treatment elevated the expression of osteoclastogenic cytokines in HDPCs, which was also reversed by NOD2 silencing. Analysis of these data, taken together, suggests that the regulation of NOD2 expression upon MDP challenge might serve as an intrinsic mechanism that underlies the hindered dentin formation and accelerated dentin resorption in bacterial infection-mediated pulpitis.

Abstract
Several reports have indicated that dietary intake of DHA is associated with lower prevalence of periodontitis. In the present study, we investigated the effect of DHA on the production of proinflammatory mediators in murine macrophage-like RAW264.7 cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isolated from Prevotella intermedia, a pathogen implicated in inflammatory periodontal disease, and its mechanisms of action. LPS was isolated from lyophilised P. intermedia ATCC 25,611 cells using the standard hot-phenol-water protocol. Culture supernatants were collected and assayed for NO, IL-1β and IL-6. Real-time PCR analysis was carried out to detect the expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS), IL-1β, IL-6 and haeme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) mRNA. Immunoblot analysis was carried out to quantify the expression of iNOS and HO-1 protein and concentrations of signalling proteins. DNA-binding activities of NF-κB subunits were determined using an ELISA-based assay kit. DHA significantly attenuated the production of NO, IL-1β and IL-6 at both gene transcription and translation levels in P. intermedia LPS-activated RAW264.7 cells. DHA induced the expression of HO-1 in cells treated with P. intermedia LPS. Selective inhibition of HO-1 activity by tin protoporphyrin IX significantly mitigated the inhibitory effects of DHA on LPS-induced NO production. DHA significantly attenuated the phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase induced by LPS. In addition, DHA suppressed the transcriptional activity of NF-κB by regulating the nuclear translocation and DNA-binding activity of NF-κB p50 subunit and inhibited the phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1. Further in vivo studies are needed to better evaluate the potential of DHA in humans as a therapeutic agent to treat periodontal disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a key proinflammatory cytokine that has been considered to be important in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. Therefore, host-modulatory agents directed at inhibiting IL-6 appear to be beneficial in terms of attenuating periodontal disease progression and potentially improving disease susceptibility. In the current study, we investigated the effect of the flavonoid isorhamnetin on the production of IL-6 in murine macrophages stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Prevotella intermedia, a pathogen implicated in inflammatory periodontal disease, and its mechanisms of action. MATERIAL AND METHODS Lipopolysaccharide from P. intermedia ATCC 25611 was isolated using the standard hot phenol-water method. Culture supernatants were collected and assayed for IL-6. We used real-time PCR to quantify IL-6 and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) mRNA expression. The expression of HO-1 protein and the levels of signaling proteins were monitored using immunoblot analyses. The DNA-binding activity of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) was analyzed using ELISA-based assay kits. RESULTS Isorhamnetin significantly down-regulated P. intermedia LPS-induced production of IL-6 as well as its mRNA expression in RAW264.7 cells. Isorhamnetin up-regulated the expression of HO-1 at both gene transcription and translation levels in cells stimulated with P. intermedia LPS. In addition, inhibition of HO-1 activity by tin protoporphyrin IX blocked the inhibitory effect of isorhamnetin on IL-6 production. Isorhamnetin failed to prevent LPS from activating either c-Jun N-terminal kinase or p38 pathways. Isorhamnetin did not inhibit NF-κB transcriptional activity at the level of inhibitory κB-α degradation. Isorhamnetin suppressed NF-κB signaling through inhibition of nuclear translocation and DNA binding activity of NF-κB p50 subunit and attenuated signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 signaling. CONCLUSION Although further research is required to clarify the detailed mechanism of action, we propose that isorhamnetin may contribute to blockade of the host-destructive processes mediated by IL-6 and could be a highly efficient modulator of the host response in the treatment of inflammatory periodontal disease. Further research in animal models of periodontitis is required to better evaluate, the potential of isorhamnetin as a novel agent for treating periodontal disease.

Abstract
Innate immunity is the first line of host defense and represents inherited resistance to infection. Innate immunity works through toll-like receptors (TLRs), which recognize the conserved molecular patterns on pathogenic bacteria known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns. The periodontium is a unique environment in which oral microorganisms are in constant contact with the host immune system. The TLRs present on gingival epithelial cells are continuously stimulated, resulting in production of cytokines and defensins that help to maintain oral health. If the epithelial barrier is breached, allowing invasion of bacteria into the underlying connective tissue, the TLRs on other resident and non-resident cells of the periodontium become activated. This leads to an exaggerated release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and other biological mediators, which may cause host tissue destruction. The present review examines the role of TLRs and their signaling in periodontal health and disease.

Abstract
In light of recent studies based on cultivation-independent methods, it appears that the diversity of Prevotella in human microbiota is greater than was previously assumed from cultivation-based studies, and that the implication of these bacteria in several human diseases was unrecognized. While some Prevotella taxa were found during opportunistic infections, changes in Prevotella abundance and diversity were discovered during dysbiosis-associated diseases. As member of the microbiota, Prevotella may also be considered as a reservoir for resistance genes. Greater knowledge on Prevotella diversity, as well as new insights into its pathogenic potential and implication in dysbiosis are expected from the use of human microbe identification microarrays, from whole-genome sequence analyse, and from the NIH Human Microbiome Project data. New approaches, including molecular-based methods, could contribute to improve the diagnosis of Prevotella infections.

Abstract
Prevotella intermedia is an important periodontal pathogen that induces various inflammatory and immune responses. In this study, we investigated the effects of P. intermedia on the plasminogen system in human periodontal ligament (hPDL) cells and explored the signaling pathways involved. Using semi-quantitative reverse transcription (RT)-PCR and quantitative real-time RT-qPCR, we demonstrated that P. intermedia challenge increased tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-2 expression in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, but exerted no influence on urokinase-type plasminogen activator and PAI-1mRNA expression in hPDL cells. Prevotella intermedia stimulation also enhanced tPA protein secretion as confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Western blot results revealed that P. intermedia treatment increased phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 kinase (p38). ERK, JNK and protein kinase C inhibitors significantly attenuated the P. intermedia-induced tPA and PAI-2 expression. Furthermore, p38 and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitors markedly decreased PAI-2 expression, whereas they showed no or little inhibition on tPA expression. In contrast, inhibition of protein kinase A greatly enhanced the upregulatory effect of P. intermedia on tPA and PAI-2 expression. Our results suggest that P. intermedia may contribute to periodontal tissue destruction by upregulating tPA and PAI-2 expression in hPDL cells via multiple signaling pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Human osteoblasts induced by inflammatory stimuli express an inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans lipopolysaccharide stimulates the production of nitric oxide (NO) by a human osteoblast-like cell line (HOS cells). METHODS Cells were stimulated directly with A. actinomycetemcomitans lipopolysaccharide or pretreated with the following l-NIL (an iNOS inhibitor), anti-CD14, Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), or TLR4 antibody before stimulation with A. actinomycetemcomitans lipopolysaccharide. The role of the cyclic nucleotides was assessed by pretreating the cells with the following; ODQ (a guanylyl cyclase inhibitor); SQ22536 (an adenylyl cyclase inhibitor); db-cAMP (a cyclic adenosine monophosphate analog); br-cGMP (a cyclic guanosine monophosphate analog); forskolin (an adenylyl cyclase activator), IBMX [a non-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor], or KT5720 [a protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor]. The cells were also preincubated with genistein [a protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitor], bisindolylmaleimide [a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor], BPB [a phospholipase A2 (PLA2) inhibitor], and NDGA (a lipoxygenase inhibitor). The iNOS activity and nitrite production in the cell cultures were determined spectrophotometrically. RESULTS The results showed that A. actinomycetemcomitans lipopolysaccharide stimulated both iNOS activity and nitrite production by HOS cells; this was reduced by l-NIL, anti-CD14, or anti-TLR4 antibody, SQ22536, KT5720, genistein, bisindolylmaleimde, BPB, and NDGA, but was enhanced by db-cAMP, IBMX, and forskolin. CONCLUSION These results therefore suggest that A. actinomycetemcomitans lipopolysaccharide may induce the production of NO by HOS cells via a CD14-TLR4 molecule complex, a cAMP-PKA pathway, as well as by a PTK, PKC, PLA2, and lipoxygenase-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
Background Human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs, also known as mesenchymal stem cells) are multipotent cells with potential therapeutic value. Owing to their osteogenic capability, MSCs may be clinically applied for facilitating osseointegration in dental implants or orthopedic repair of bony defect. However, whether wound infection or oral microflora may interfere with the growth and osteogenic differentiation of human MSCs remains unknown. This study investigated whether proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs would be affected by potent gram-positive and gram-negative derived bacterial toxins commonly found in human settings. Results We selected lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Escherichia coli and lipoteichoic acid (LTA) from Streptococcus pyogenes as our toxins of choice. Our findings showed both LPS and LTA did not affect MSC proliferation, but prolonged LPS challenge upregulated the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, as assessed by alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium deposition. Because toll-like receptors (TLRs), in particularly TLR4 and TLR2, are important for the cellular responsiveness to LPS and LTA respectively, we evaluated their expression profiles serially from MSCs to osteoblasts by quantitative PCR. We found that during osteogenic differentiation, MSC-derived osteoprogenitors gradually expressed TLR2 and TLR4 by Day 12. But under prolonged incubation with LPS, MSC-derived osteoprogenitors had reduced TLR2 and TLR4 gene expression. This peculiar response to LPS suggests a possible adaptive mechanism when MSCs are subjected to continuous exposure with bacteria. Conclusion In conclusion, our findings support the potential of using human MSCs as a biological graft, even under a bacterial toxin-rich environment.

Abstract
A prime pathogenic agent associated with periodontitis is lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from Porphyromonas gingivalis. This study investigated the effects of P. gingivalis LPS on osteoblasts, which are responsible for alveolar bone repair. Bone cells were obtained from explants of rat alveolar bone chips and cultured with 0–200 ng ml−1 of P. gingivalis LPS. Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS significantly increased cell proliferation and inhibited osteoblast differentiation, as judged by reduced alkaline phosphatase activity. Analysis of biglycan mRNA and protein levels indicated that P. gingivalis LPS significantly delayed the normally high expression of biglycan during the early stages of culture, which are associated with cell proliferation and early differentiation of progenitor cells. In the presence of P. gingivalis LPS, decorin expression by the alveolar bone cells was reduced during periods of culture relating to collagen fibrillogenesis and mineral deposition. Analysis of glycosaminoglycan chains conjugated to these proteoglycans suggested that in the presence of P. gingivalis LPS, dermatan sulfate persisted within the matrix. This study suggests that P. gingivalis LPS influences the expression and processing of decorin and biglycan in the matrix, altering alveolar bone cell activity and osteoblast phenotype development. The consequences of this altered expression in relation to hindering bone repair as part of the cycle of events during periodontal disease are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have examined the potential effects of periodontal treatment during pregnancy on pregnancy outcomes, periodontal status, and inflammatory biomarkers. METHODS A randomized, delayed-treatment, controlled pilot trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of second-trimester scaling and root planing and the use of a sonic toothbrush on the rate of preterm delivery (<37 weeks gestation). Secondary outcome measures included changes in periodontal status, levels of eight oral pathogens, levels of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), 8-isoprostane (8-iso), and IL-6, and serum levels of IL-6, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM1), 8-isoprostane, soluble glycoprotein 130 (sGP130), IL-6 soluble receptor (IL-6sr), and C-reactive protein (CRP). Logistic regression models were used to test for effects of treatment on preterm delivery. Secondary outcomes were analyzed by analysis of covariance adjusting for subject baseline values. RESULTS Periodontal intervention resulted in a significantly decreased incidence odds ratio (OR) for preterm delivery (OR = 0.26; 95% confidence interval = 0.08 to 0.85), adjusting for baseline periodontal status which was unbalanced after randomization. Pregnancy without periodontal treatment was associated with significant increases in probing depths, plaque scores, GCF IL-1beta, and GCF IL-6 levels. Intervention resulted in significant improvements in clinical status (attachment level, probing depth, plaque, gingivitis, and bleeding on probing scores) and significant decreases in levels of Prevotella nigrescens and Prevotella intermedia, serum IL-6sr, and GCF IL-1beta. CONCLUSIONS Results from this pilot study (67 subjects) provide further evidence supporting the potential benefits of periodontal treatment on pregnancy outcomes. Treatment was safe, improved periodontal health, and prevented periodontal disease progression. Preliminary data show a 3.8-fold reduction in the rate of preterm delivery, a decrease in periodontal pathogen load, and a decrease in both GCF IL-1beta and serum markers of IL-6 response. However, further studies will be needed to substantiate these early findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate cellular effects of enamel matrix derivative (EMD) in human derived, primary osteoblasts and periodontal ligament (PDL) cells grown in organoid cultures. STUDY DESIGN Cell replication was assessed by BrdU-incorporation. [(3)H]-proline incorporation was measured to determine the synthesis of proline-containing proteins, such as collagen. In addition, calcium accumulation and alkaline-phosphatase-activity were quantified. Electron microscopy for morphological analysis was performed. RESULTS Our results showed that EMD enhances BrdU-incorporation in PDL cells and osteoblasts. Also, in osteoblast organoid cultures [3H]-proline incorporation was 3-fold increased (P < .01). Extensive matrix deposition was noted in osteoblast cultures by electron microscopy. In osteoblasts, high levels of calcium accumulation and alkaline-phosphatase-activity were found. However, EMD did not promote mineralization. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that under organoid culture conditions EMD is able to promote the synthesis of proline-containing proteins such as collagen but not matrix mineralization of primary human osteoblastic cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated early biological events initiated by Porphyromonas gingivalis infection of human osteoblasts, focusing on tyrosine-phosphorylation and the expression of key components in focal adhesion and cell signalling. DESIGN Human primary osteoblasts were challenged for 1h with Porphyromonas gingivalis. Tyrosine-phosphorylation of paxillin and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) was examined by Western blotting. Changes in alpha3- and beta1-integrin mRNA expression were quantified by RT-PCR. RESULTS Tyrosine-phosphorylation of paxillin was proportional to the size of the Porphyromonas gingivalis inoculum. FAK, a potential kinase for paxillin, was not activated. The amount of alpha3- and beta1-integrins, determined by Western blotting, did not vary significantly, while the corresponding mRNA levels fell significantly when a large bacterial inoculum was used. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that Porphyromonas gingivalis infection of osteoblasts in vitro triggers tyrosine-phosphorylation of paxillin but not FAK and modify alpha3- and beta1-integrin mRNA expression. This infection thus appears to have different effects on components with essential roles in focal adhesion (paxillin) and cell signalling (FAK and integrins).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of A. actinomycetemcomitans is one of the major pathogenic factors in periodontal disease. It induces secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and is involved in alveolar bone destruction. We hypothesized that the LPS of A. actinomycetemcomitans could affect the activation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin in human periodontal ligament (HPDL) cells leading to the destruction of periodontium. METHODS HPDL cells were cultured in serum-free medium with or without the LPS of A. actinomycetemcomitans for 36 hours. The activation of MMP-2 was analyzed by zymography. Changes of the expression of RANKL and osteoprotegerin (OPG) were examined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and supported by Western blot analysis. RESULTS The activation of MMP-2 could be induced by the LPS of A. actinomycetemcomitans in HPDL cells and could be inhibited by a serine protease inhibitor. This result suggested that the LPS might activate MMP-2 through a serine protease-dependent pathway. This activation was also blocked by NF-kappaB inhibitor, which indicated the involvement of NF-kappaB. The upregulation of RANKL but not OPG by the LPS was found in both transcription and translation and could be reduced by indomethacin. In addition, serine protease inhibitor also inhibited the upregulation of RANKL, suggesting the activity of serine protease. CONCLUSIONS The effect of the LPS of A. actinomycetemcomitans on HPDL cells is serum-independent and the induction of the activation of MMP-2 and the expression of RANKL are serine protease-dependent pathways. The results suggest the role of HPDL cells in the pathogenesis of periodontitis.
