Evaluation of Serum Levels of Cytokines in Acute Apical Abscess: A Longitudinal Observational Study. J Endod 2023; 49:1090-1098. [PMID: 37423583 DOI: 10.1016/j.joen.2023.07.001] [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: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/02/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cytokine levels are related to the aethiopathogenia of acute apical abscesses (AAA); however, the specific cytokine profiles in these cases are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the changes in systemic cytokine levels in patients with AAA and trismus onset, postantibiotic treatment, and postroot canal disinfection. METHODS In total, 46 AAA patients with trismus and 32 control subjects were included. After seven days of antibiotic therapy, root canal disinfection was performed in the AAA patients. The serum levels of cytokines were evaluated at basal, seven, and 14 days after endodontic treatment. Quantification of cytokines from T helper (Th) 1, Th2, Th17, and regulatory T cells profiles was determined using the BioPlex MagPix system, and the obtained data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software (P < .05). RESULTS AAA patients showed higher tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL) -6, and IL-10 levels than control subjects, at basal measurement (P < .05); there were similar levels of interferon gamma, IL-1β, IL-4, and IL-17 between groups (P > .05). IL-6 and IL-10 levels decreased after antibiotic treatment (P < .05), which was also associated with clinical improvement in patients with AAA and trismus. Patients with AAA had a positive correlation with higher serum levels of IL-6 and IL-10. In addition, TNF-α levels decreased only after antibiotic and endodontic treatment. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, patients with AAA had increased systemic serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10. Moreover, increased levels of IL-6 and IL-10 are associated with acute inflammatory symptoms. However, IL-6 and IL-10 levels decreased after antibiotic treatment, while TNF-α levels decreased after antibiotic and endodontic treatment.

Abstract
Periradicular tissues have a rich supply of peripheral afferent neurons, also known as nociceptive neurons, originating from the trigeminal nerve. While their primary function is to relay pain signals to the brain, these are known to be involved in modulating innate and adaptive immunity by initiating neurogenic inflammation (NI). Studies have investigated neuroanatomy and measured the levels of biomolecules such as cytokines and neuropeptides in human saliva, gingival crevicular fluid, or blood/serum samples in apical periodontitis (AP) to validate the possible role of trigeminal nociceptors in inflammation and tissue regeneration. However, the contributions of nociceptors and the mechanisms involved in the neuro-immune interactions in AP are not fully understood. This narrative review addresses the complex biomolecular interactions of trigeminal nociceptors with macrophages, the effector cells of the innate immune system, in the clinical manifestations of AP.

Abstract
The ‘Focal Infection Era in Dentistry’ in the late 19th and early 20th century resulted in widespread implementation of tooth extraction and limited the progress of endodontics. The theory proposed that bacteria and toxins entrapped in dentinal tubules could disseminate systemically to remote body parts, resulting in many types of degenerative systemic diseases. This theory was eventually refuted due to anecdotal evidence. However, lately there has been increased interest in investigating whether endodontic disease could have an impact on general health. There are reviews that have previously been carried out on this subject, but as new data have emerged since then, this review aims to appraise the available literature investigating the dynamic associations between apical periodontitis, endodontic treatment, and systemic health. The available evidence regarding focal infection theory, bacteraemia and inflammatory markers was appraised. The review also collated the available research arguing the associations of apical periodontitis with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, adverse pregnancy outcome and autoimmune disorders, along with the effect of statins and immunomodulators on apical periodontitis prevalence and endodontic treatment prognosis. There is emerging evidence that bacteraemia and low-grade systemic inflammation associated with apical periodontitis may negatively impact systemic health, e.g., development of cardiovascular diseases, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and diabetic metabolic dyscontrol. However, there is limited information supporting the effect of diabetes mellitus or autoimmune disorders on the prevalence and prognosis post endodontic treatment. Furthermore, convincing evidence supports that successful root canal treatment has a beneficial impact on systemic health by reducing the inflammatory burden, thereby dismissing the misconceptions of focal infection theory. Although compelling evidence regarding the association between apical periodontitis and systemic health is present, further high-quality research is required to support and establish the benefits of endodontic treatment on systemic health.

Abstract
For assessing the adequacy of vital pulp therapy for an inflamed pulp, the use of non-invasive diagnostic tools is necessary to avoid further damage to the teeth. Detection of biomarkers that are indicative of the inflammatory status in pulp can be a promising tool for this purpose. These biomarkers need to be reliably correlated with pulpal inflammation and to be easily detected without pulp exposure. This mini-review article aims to review biomarkers that are present in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in inflamed pulp conditions. Several studies have reported the availability of various biomarkers including cytokines, proteases, elastase, neuropeptides, and growth factors. Non-invasive pulpal diagnostic methods will be useful as well to determine reversibility, irreversibility, or necrosis of inflamed pulp. These types of molecular diagnoses via analyzing the proteome have revolutionized the medical field, and are one of the most promising empirical methodologies that a clinician can utilize for the proactive identification of pulpal disease.

Clinical influence of calcium hydroxide intracanal medications on matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases in apical periodontitis. Clin Oral Investig 2021; 26:643-650. [PMID: 34255199 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-021-04042-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2021] [Accepted: 06/21/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the influence of calcium hydroxide intracanal medications on the levels of metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) in apical periodontitis (AP). MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty primarily infected root canals with AP were randomly divided into two groups: Ca(OH)2 + sterile saline solution (SSL) group and Ca(OH)2 + 2% chlorhexidine gel (CHX gel) group. We collected samples from the periradicular tissue fluid (PTF) before (s1) and after 14 days of intracanal medication (s2). MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2 were measured by ELISA assay. RESULTS MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2 were detected in all PTF samples at s1 and s2 (20/20). At s1, MMP-2 and MMP-9 were detected at higher levels than MMP-1 (p < .05). Higher levels of TIMP-1 than TIMP-2 were found in AP (p < .05). Additionally, we detected higher MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 over TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 levels in AP (p < .05). At s2, Ca(OH)2 + SSL was as effective as Ca(OH)2 + 2% CHX gel in lowering the levels of MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 after 14 days of intracanal medication, with no significant difference between them (p > .05). Both Ca(OH) 2 intracanal medications had no significant impact on the levels of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 (both p > .05). At s2, TIMP-1 levels were higher than TIMP-2 (p < .05). Moreover, there were positive correlations between the levels of MMP-1 and TIMP-1 and MMP-1 and TIMP-2 (p < .05). CONCLUSIONS Calcium hydroxide medications effectively lowered the levels of MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 in periapical tissues after 14 days of treatment, with no difference between them. Moreover, the calcium hydroxide intracanal medications tested here had no impact in TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 in periapical tissues. CLINICAL RELEVANCE MMPs and TIMPs play an essential role in the degradation of the extracellular matrix. The imbalance MMPs and TIMPs can cause periapical tissue destruction. Therefore, the reestablishment of the balance between activated MMPs and TIMPs with root canal therapy is essential to restore tissue homeostasis.

Abstract
The infection of Enterococcus faecalis and its interacting microorganisms in the root canal could cause persistent apical periodontitis (AP). Antibacterial root canal sealer has favorable prospects to inhibit biofilms. The purpose of this study was to investigated the antibacterial effect of root canal sealer containing dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMADDM) on persistent AP in beagle dogs for the first time. Persistent AP was established by a two-step infection with Enterococcus faecalis and multi-bacteria (Enterococcus faecalis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Actinomycesnaeslundii, Streptococcus gordonii). Root canal sealer containing DMADDM (0%, 1.25%, 2.5%) was used to complete root canal filling. The volume of lesions and inflammatory grade in the apical area were evaluated by cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) and hematoxylin-eosin staining. Both Enterococcus-faecalis- and multi-bacteria-induced persistent AP caused severe apical destruction, and there were no significant differences in pathogenicity between them. DMADDM-modified sealer significantly reduced the volume of periapical lesion and inflammatory grade compared with the control group, among them, the therapeutic effect of the 2.5% group was better than the 1.25% group. In addition, E.faecalis-induced reinfection was more sensitive to the 2.5% group than multi-bacteria reinfection. This study shows that root canal sealer containing DMADDM had a remarkable therapeutic effect on persistent AP, especially on E. faecalis-induced reinfection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in controlling pulpal and periapical inflammation in vivo as a potential coadjutant systemic therapy for pulpitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A suspension containing E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 1.0 μg/μL) was inoculated into the pulp chamber of the first molars of C57BL/6 mice (n = 72), and the animals were treated daily with indomethacin or celecoxib throughout the experimental periods. After 7, 14, 21, and 28 days, the tissues were removed for histopathological, histoenzymology, histometric, and immunohistochemical evaluation. RESULTS Inoculation of LPS into the pulp chamber induced the synthesis of the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in dental pulp and periapical region. Indomethacin and celecoxib treatment changed the profile of inflammatory cells recruited to dental pulp and to the periapex, which was characterized by a higher mononuclear cell infiltrate, compared to LPS inoculation alone which recruited a higher amount of polymorphonuclear neutrophils. Administration of indomethacin for 28 days resulted in the development of apical periodontitis and increased osteoclast recruitment, unlike celecoxib. CONCLUSIONS NSAIDs indomethacin and celecoxib changed the recruitment of inflammatory cells to a mononuclear profile upon inoculation of LPS into the pup chamber, but indomethacin enhanced periapical bone loss whereas celecoxib did not. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Celecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, can change the profile of inflammatory cells recruited to the dental pulp challenged with LPS and might a be potential systemic coadjutant for treatment of pulpitis.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of over 25 secreted and membrane-bound enzymes responsible for pericellular substrate degeneration. In response to injury, they play key roles in morphogenesis, wound healing, tissue repair and remodeling. They have been isolated from dentin, odontoblasts, pulp and periapical tissue. They play a major role in the formation of dentin matrix and secondary and tertiary dentin. These are also responsible for releasing dentinal growth factors. MMP family proteins elicit a dual role in the pathogenesis of inflammation, stimulating protective innate and/or adaptive immune functions, as well as tissue destruction. The main organic component of tooth structure is collagen, and MMPs that degrade collagen and the extracellular matrix have been implicated in the progression of dental caries, dental erosion as well as degradation of the hybrid layer. MMPs have also been shown to be active in pulpitis, and studies have shown that they can be used as diagnostic markers of pulpal and periapical inflammation. This review describes the role of MMPs in dental caries, dental erosion, bond stability as well as in pulpal and periapical inflammation.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the kinetics of apical periodontitis development
in vivo
, induced either by contamination of the root canals by microorganisms from the oral cavity or by inoculation of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the regulation of major enzymes and receptors involved in the arachidonic acid metabolism. Methodology Apical periodontitis was induced in C57BL6 mice (n=96), by root canal exposure to oral cavity (n=48 teeth) or inoculation of LPS (10 µL of a suspension of 0.1 µg/µL) from
E. coli
into the root canals (n= 48 teeth). Healthy teeth were used as control (n=48 teeth). After 7, 14, 21 and 28 days the animals were euthanized and tissues removed for histopathological and qRT-PCR analyses. Histological analysis data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA followed by Sidak’s test, and qRT-PCR data using two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test (α=0.05). Results Contamination by microorganisms led to the development of apical periodontitis, characterized by the recruitment of inflammatory cells and bone tissue resorption, whereas inoculation of LPS induced inflammatory cells recruitment without bone resorption. Both stimuli induced mRNA expression for cyclooxygenase-2 and 5-lipoxygenase enzymes. Expression of prostaglandin E 2 and leukotriene B 4 cell surface receptors were more stimulated by LPS. Regarding nuclear peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR), oral contamination induced the synthesis of mRNA for PPARδ, differently from inoculation of LPS, that induced PPARα and PPARγ expression. Conclusions Contamination of the root canals by microorganisms from oral cavity induced the development of apical periodontitis differently than by inoculation with LPS, characterized by less bone loss than the first model. Regardless of the model used, it was found a local increase in the synthesis of mRNA for the enzymes 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase-2 of the arachidonic acid metabolism, as well as in the surface and nuclear receptors for the lipid mediators prostaglandin E2 and leukotriene B4.

Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the relationship between endotoxin levels and presence of clinical signs/symptoms and radiographic features in patients with endodontic infection. Electronic searches were performed on Medline/PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scielo, Science Direct, Web of Knowledge and Scopus databases for identification of relevant studies published up to December 2016. Grey literature was searched in Google Scholar. The selected literature was reviewed independently by two authors. Clinical studies evaluating the levels of endotoxin and the presence of clinical and radiographic features were included in this review. In order to determine the relationship between endotoxin levels and presence of clinical signs/symptoms and radiographic features meta-analyses were performed. Among the 385 articles identified in the initial search, 30 were included for full-text appraisal and only eight studies met the inclusion criteria for this systematic review. Meta-analysis revealed that individuals having teeth with tenderness to percussion (TTP) (P = 0.04; I2 57%) and previous episode of pain (PEP) (P = 0.001; I2 81%) had higher levels of endotoxin than their counterparts. Size of radiographic lesion >2 mm (P = 0.02; I2 68%) and presence of root canal exudation (EX) (P = 0.0007; I2 0%) were associated with higher levels of endotoxin. This systematic review and meta-analyses provided a strong evidence that endotoxin are related with the presence of clinical signs/symptoms and radiographic features in patients with endodontic infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biomaterials could affect the inflammation reaction and wound healing via the activation and polarization of macrophages. However, the influence of iRoot SP and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) on macrophage polarization under inflammatory conditions was not reported although these two root filling materials have been applied extensively in patients undergoing endodontic treatment. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the mechanism how iRoot SP and MTA affect the cell behavior of RAW 264.7 macrophages when stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vitro. METHODS The gene expression of three main related pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6) was examined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in RAW 264.7 macrophages when stimulated by iRoot SP and MTA in the presence of LPS. The protein expression of the M1 and M2 phenotype specific markers, CD11c and CD206, was assessed by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry in RAW 264.7 macrophages. RESULTS LPS promoted the expression of IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6 in RAW 264.7 macrophages as compared to the control group. Both iRoot SP and MTA were significantly able to enhance the expression of IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6 in RAW 264.7 macrophages as compared to LPS group. LPS could increase the expression of CD11c as compared to the control group while iRoot SP and MTA were able to enhance the expression of both CD11c and CD206 as compared to LPS group. CONCLUSIONS iRoot SP and MTA could potentially promote the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in RAW 264.7 macrophages and induce into M1/M2 phenotype when cultured with LPS.

Interleukin-12-mediated expression of matrix metalloproteinases in human periodontal ligament fibroblasts involves in NF-κB activation. Biosci Rep 2017; 37:BSR20170973. [PMID: 29054963 PMCID: PMC5696454 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20170973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2017] [Revised: 09/27/2017] [Accepted: 10/19/2017] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a proinflammatory cytokine, and its increased level correlates with the severity of periodontitis. However, its role in the pathogenesis of tooth periapical lesions is controversial and has not been completely clarified. The present study aimed to investigate whether IL-12 affects the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (hPDLFs). After treatment with IL-12 for different times, real-time PCR and Western blotting were used to determine the mRNA and protein levels of MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, MMP-13, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2, respectively. ELISA was applied to measure MMPs and TIMPs secretion production. The results indicated that IL-12 significantly increased the mRNA and protein expression levels of MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-13, but down-regulated MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA and protein expression in the hPDLFs. Furthermore, IL-12 (10 ng/ml) enhanced the secreted protein production of MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-13, and conversely lowered MMP-2 and MMP-9 secretion levels. However, IL-12 treatment did not exert a significant effect on the mRNA and protein levels of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 and their secreted production. Additionally, IL-12 increased the phosphorylated levels of IκBα and nuclear factor-κB P65 (NF-κB P65), and promoted NF-κB P65 subunit nuclear translocation. Pretreatment with NF-κB inhibitor not only attenuated IL-12-induced IκBα and NF-κB P65 phosphorylation and inhibited NF-κB P65 subunit into nucleus, but also antagonized IL-12-mediated MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, and MMP-13 expression in the hPDLFs. These findings indicate that NF-κB-dependent activation is possibly indispensable for IL-12-mediated MMP expression in hPDLFs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanical loading-induced changes in protein and mRNA expressions of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and its key signaling factors glycoprotein 130 (gp130), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and the Src homology phosphotyrosine phosphatase (SHP2) at the tension and compression sides of the teeth in mouse models. METHODS A total of 55 C57B/6 mice (10 weeks old) were divided into 3 groups. Orthodontic force was applied in group A (experimental group, n = 30); the tooth movement device was placed without activation in group B (sham control group, n = 15), and group C (blank control group, n = 10). Tooth movement was induced by a nickel-titanium coil spring inserted between the maxillary left incisor and the first molar with a force of approximately 4 g. The animals were killed 12 days after the interventions; protein and mRNA expressions of IL-6, gp130, STAT3, and SHP2 in the periodontal tissues were observed with immunohistochemistry and in-situ hybridization, respectively. RESULTS In contrast with the control groups, we observed enhanced expressions of IL-6, gp130, STAT3, and SHP2 protein and mRNA at the mesial and distal sides of the teeth with application of orthodontic forces in the experimental group. In contrast with the distal side, we observed enhanced expression of gp130 protein and mRNA at the mesial side in the experimental group. CONCLUSIONS We observed enhanced expression of IL-6 and its key signaling factors gp130, STAT3, and SHP2 protein and mRNA at the tension and compression sides of the teeth with application of orthodontic forces. The mechanical loading applied for orthodontic tooth movement might induce changes in protein localization and mRNA expression patterns of IL-6 and its key signaling factors gp130, STAT3, and SHP2 at the tension and compression sides of the periodontal ligaments of the teeth in mouse models. The result might demonstrate the special role of IL-6 and its key signaling factors in the alveolar bone-modeling process.

Abstract
Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a component extracted from green tea, has been proved to have multiple effects on human pathological and physiological processes, and its mechanisms are discrepant in cancer, vascularity, bone regeneration, and nervous system. Although there are multiple benefits associated with EGCG, more and more challenges are still needed to get through. For example, EGCG shows low bioactivity via oral administration. This review focuses on effects of EGCG, including anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticollagenase, and antifibrosis effects, to express the potential of EGCG and necessity of further studies in this field.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of more than 25 secreted and membrane bound enzymes that represent class of enzymes responsible for degradation of pericellular substrates. They have been isolated from dentine, odontoblasts, pulp and periapical tissue. They play an important role in dentine matrix formation, modulating caries progression and secondary dentine formation. Earlier microbial proteolytic enzymes were believed to be responsible for degradation of dentine organic matrix, but lately the accumulated body of evidence suggests that MMPs have an important role in the process. During normal tissue modelling, differentiation during development, in modulating the cell behaviour, maintaining homeostasis and in numerous extracellular pathologic conditions, MMPs tends to be an equally important participant. Odontoblasts secrete some of the essential MMPs for both physiologic and pathologic conditions. MMPs also appear to be a participant in the process of reversible and irreversible pulpitis. Although they tend to have low expression and activity in adult tissues but at the onset of any destructive pathologic process, their production shoots up. They appear to have a significant presence during times of inflammation in the periapical region as well. We take a look at the various factors and evidence pointing towards the role of MMPs in the progression of caries, pulpal and periapical inflammation.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to assess the effectiveness of combined salmon calcitonin (sCT) and aspirin [acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)] treatment in an ovariectomized (OVX) rat model of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Following 12 weeks of treatment, therapeutic efficacy was assessed by evaluating changes in the biochemical and biophysical properties of bone (n=8 rats per group). Serological markers of bone metabolism were measured by ELISA; bone mineral densities (BMD) by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry; bone biomechanics of the femur and lumbar vertebrae by three-point stress test; trabecular bone morphology of lumbar vertebrae by hematoxylin and eosin staining; messenger RNA expression levels of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) in bone marrow cells by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and OPG and RANKL protein expression levels in the proximal tibia were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Compared with treatment by sCT or ASA alone, combined treatment (sCT+ASA) increased BMD, improved femur bone strength, normalized trabecular network architecture and morphology, and increased mRNA and protein expression of OPG, while reducing the expression of RANKL. Collectively, these results demonstrated that combined treatment (sCT+ASA) of osteoporotic symptoms in OVX rats was more effective than treatment with sCT or ASA alone. Furthermore, these two drugs appeared to alter the expression of two distinct factors in the OPG/RANKL/RANK system, suggesting that their effects may be synergistic. Since sCT and ASA are currently approved for use in humans, the results of the present study suggest that the safety and efficacy of sCT+ASA combined therapy for post-menopausal osteoporosis should be assessed in clinical trials.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to characterize the healing process of extraction sockets with a periapical lesion following immediate graft with collagenated bovine bone mineral (CBBM) soaked with epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). Following induction of periapical lesions in premolars in five dogs, treatment of extraction sockets was divided into three groups: control (no treatment) and two test groups, CBBM with or without EGCG. 3D reconstruction and superimposition of the digital images were used to measure the dimensional changes in alveolar ridge. Histologic specimen was evaluated in all groups. The horizontal ridge widths at 4-mm level were wider in both test groups (3.3 ± 1.7 mm in CBBM; 3.0 ± 1.7 mm in CBBM+EGCG) than in the control group (1.7 ± 2.4 mm). Fibrosis and limited new bone formation were observed in the apical regions of test groups; however, the extent of fibrosis was less in the CBBM+EGCG group. Within the limitations of this study, it was conjectured that adjunctive use of EGCG with CBBM can be a candidate biomaterial in grafting of extraction socket with periapical lesion. Bone regeneration at the coronal region of the CBBM grafted socket might not be influenced by the presence of a periapical lesion.

Abstract
Collagenase-3 (matrix metalloproteinase-13) is a metalloproteinase (MMP) that is associated with bone lesions and exhibits variable expression patterns in odontogenic cysts; it may play a role in regulating focal proliferation and maturation of jaw cyst epithelium. We studied the localization, staining intensity and distribution of collagenase-3 in 13 periapical granulomas with epithelium, 16 periapical granulomas without epithelium and 10 radicular cysts using archived formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissues. A monoclonal antibody against human collagenase-3 was used to evaluate its expression. Immunohistochemical staining intensities of collagenase-3 in all periapical lesions were (-), 4 (10%); (+), 1 (3%); (++), 22 (56%) and (+++), 12 (31%); differences were not statistically significant. Immunohistochemical distribution of collagenase-3 in epithelial cells was (-), 17 (44%); (+), 17 (44%); (++), 5 (13%); in fibroblasts it was (-), 8 (20%); (+), 23 (59%); (++), 8 (21%); in plasma cells it was (-), 7 (18%); (+), 22 (56%); (++), 10 (26%); in macrophages it was (-), 7 (18%); (+), and 15 (38%); and (++), 17 (44%). Statistically significant differences were found in epithelial cells (p = 0.00) and fibroblasts (p = 0.02), whereas differences were not statistically significant for plasma cells and macrophages. Collagenase-3 may play a role in the conversion of a periapical granuloma with epithelium to radicular cyst. MMP's influence not only epithelial rest cell migration, but also invasion of various stromal cells into granulomatous tissue.

Abstract
The aim of this review was to examine current knowledge of the role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in apical periodontitis (AP) pathogenesis as an inflammatory or pro-inflammatory cytokine. It also looked at whether IL-6 could serve as a measure for differential diagnosis or as a biomarker that can further predict the progression of bone resorption. A systematic review relating to AP and IL-6 was made via PubMed, BIOSIS, Cochrane, EMBASE and Web of Science databases using keywords and controlled vocabulary. Two independent reviewers first screened titles and abstracts and then the full texts. The reference lists of the identified publications were examined for additional titles. Eighteen papers were studied in total. In vitro studies (n = 6) revealed that IL-6 is present in AP, and its levels are proportional to the size of the periapical lesions. Neutrophils and macrophages resident in these lesions can produce IL-6 in vitro after a bacterial stimulus. Animal studies (n = 5) showed that IL-6 is present in AP and that osteoblasts can produce IL-6 in vivo. On the other hand, two studies using IL-6 knockout mice revealed larger periapical lesions when compared with control groups, demonstrating IL-6's role as an anti-inflammatory cytokine. In human studies (n = 7), IL-6 was identified in AP, and its levels were higher in symptomatic, epithelialized and large lesions than in asymptomatic and small lesions. These data lead to the conclusion that IL-6 may play a pro-inflammatory role, increasing its levels and reabsorbing bone in the presence of infections. When IL-6 is not present, other cytokines such as IL-1 and TNF-α induce bone resorption. Further studies about the relationship between AP development and the cytokine network must be performed to establish the exact role of each cytokine in the inflammatory process.

Abstract
Dental caries is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases in the United States, affecting approximately 80% of children and the majority of adults. Dental caries may lead to endodontic disease, where the bacterial infection progresses to the root canal system of the tooth, leading to periapical inflammation, bone erosion, severe pain, and tooth loss. Periapical inflammation may also exacerbate inflammation in other parts of the body. Although conventional clinical therapies for this disease are successful in approximately 80% of cases, there is still an urgent need for increased efficacy of treatment. In this study, we applied a novel gene-therapeutic approach using recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated Atp6i RNA interference (RNAi) knockdown of Atp6i/TIRC7 gene expression to simultaneously target periapical bone resorption and periapical inflammation. We found that Atp6i inhibition impaired osteoclast function in vitro and in vivo and decreased the number of T cells in the periapical lesion. Notably, AAV-mediated Atp6i/TIRC7 knockdown gene therapy reduced bacterial infection-stimulated bone resorption by 80% in the mouse model of endodontic disease. Importantly, Atp6i(+/-) mice with haploinsufficiency of Atp6i exhibited protection similar to that in mice with bacterial infection-stimulated bone erosion and periapical inflammation, which confirms the potential therapeutic effect of AAV-small hairpin RNA (shRNA)-Atp6i/TIRC7. Our results demonstrate that AAV-mediated Atp6i/TIRC7 knockdown in periapical tissues can inhibit endodontic disease development, bone resorption, and inflammation, indicating for the first time that this potential gene therapy may significantly improve the health of those who suffer from endodontic disease.

Abstract
Anti-inflammatory drugs are widely used to manage pain associated with stress fractures (SFxs), but little is known about their effects on healing of those injuries. We hypothesized that selective and non-selective anti-inflammatory treatments would retard the healing of SFx in the rat ulna. SFxs were created by cyclic loading of the ulna in Wistar rats. Ulnae were harvested 2, 4 or 6 weeks following loading. Rats were treated with non-selective NSAID, ibuprofen (30 mg/kg/day); selective COX-2 inhibition, [5,5-dimethyl-3-3 (3 fluorophenyl)-4-(4 methylsulfonal) phenyl-2 (5H)-furanone] (DFU) (2.0 mg/kg/day); or the novel c5a anatagonist PMX53 (10 mg/kg/day, 4 and 6 weeks only); with appropriate vehicle as control. Quantitative histomorphometric measurements of SFx healing were undertaken. Treatment with the selective COX-2 inhibitor, DFU, reduced the area of resorption along the fracture line at 2 weeks, without affecting bone formation at later stages. Treatment with the non-selective, NSAID, ibuprofen decreased both bone resorption and bone formation so that there was significantly reduced length and area of remodeling and lamellar bone formation within the remodeling unit at 6 weeks after fracture. The C5a receptor antagonist PMX53 had no effect on SFx healing at 4 or 6 weeks after loading, suggesting that PMX53 would not delay SFx healing. Both selective COX-2 inhibitors and non-selective NSAIDs have the potential to compromise SFx healing, and should be used with caution when SFx is diagnosed or suspected.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This review article discusses the host response in apical periodontitis with the main focus on cytokines, produced under this pathological condition and contributing to the degradation of periradicular tissues. The pace of research in this field has greatly accelerated in the last decade. Here we provide an analysis of studies published in this area during this period. MATERIAL AND METHODS Literature was selected through a search of PubMed electronic database. The keywords used for search were pathogenesis of apical periodontitis cytokines, periapical granuloma cytokines, inflammatory infiltrate apical periodontitis. The search was restricted to English language articles, published from 1999 to December 2010. Additionally, a manual search in the cytokine production, cytokine functions and periapical tissue destruction in the journals and books was performed. RESULTS In total, 97 literature sources were obtained and reviewed. The topics covered in this article include cellular composition of an inflammatory infiltrate in the periapical lesions, mechanisms of the formation of the innate and specific immune response. Studies which investigated cytokine secretion and functions were identified and cellular and molecular interactions in the course of apical periodontitis described. CONCLUSIONS The abundance and interactions of various inflammatory and anti-inflammatory molecules can influence and alter the state and progression of the disease. Therefore, periapical inflammatory response offers a model, suited for the study of many facets of pathogenesis, biocompatibility of different materials to periapical tissues and development of novel treatment methods, based on the regulation of cytokines expression.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to investigate the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in apical periodontitis and during the periapical healing phase after root canal treatment. METHODS Apical periodontitis was induced in dog teeth, and root canal treatment was performed in a single visit or by using an additional calcium hydroxide root canal dressing. One hundred eighty days after treatment the presence of inflammation was examined, and tissues were stained to detect bacteria. Bacterial status was correlated to the degree of tissue organization, and to further investigate molecules involved in this process, tissues were stained for MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-8, and MMP-9. Data were analyzed by using one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey test or Kruskal-Wallis followed by Dunn test. RESULTS Teeth with apical periodontitis that had root canal therapy performed in a single visit presented an intense inflammatory cell infiltrate. Periapical tissue was extremely disorganized, and this was correlated with the presence of bacteria. Higher MMP expression was evident, similar to teeth with untreated apical periodontitis. In contrast, teeth with apical periodontitis submitted to root canal treatment with calcium hydroxide presented a lower inflammatory cell infiltrate. This group had moderately organized connective tissue, lower prevalence of bacteria, and lower number of MMP-positive cells, similar to healthy teeth submitted to treatment. CONCLUSIONS Teeth treated with calcium hydroxide root canal dressing exhibited a lower percentage of bacterial contamination, a lower MMP expression, and a more organized extracellular matrix, unlike those treated in a single visit. This suggests that calcium hydroxide might be beneficial in tissue repair processes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The inability to distinguish periapical cysts from granulomas before performing root canal treatment leads to uncertainty in treatment outcomes because cysts have lower healing rates. Searching for differential expression of molecules within cysts or granulomas could provide information with regard to the identity of the lesion or suggest mechanistic differences that may form the basis for future therapeutic intervention. Thus, we investigated whether granulomas and cysts exhibit differential expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules. METHODS Human periapical granulomas, periapical cysts, and healthy periodontal ligament tissues were used to investigate the differential expression of ECM molecules by microarray analysis. Because matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) showed the highest differential expression in the microarray analysis, MMPs were further examined by in situ zymography and immunohistochemistry. Data were analyzed by using one-way analysis of variance followed by the Tukey test. RESULTS We observed that cysts and granulomas differentially expressed several ECM molecules, especially those from the MMP family. Compared with cysts, granulomas exhibited higher MMP enzymatic activity in areas stained for MMP-9. These areas were composed of polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) in contrast to cysts. Similarly, MMP-13 was expressed by a greater number of cells in granulomas compared with cysts. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that high enzymatic MMP activity in PMNs together with MMP-9 and MMP-13 stained cells could be a molecular signature of granulomas unlike periapical cysts.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION T-regulatory (Treg, CD4+ FOXP3+) cells constitute a unique subpopulation of CD4+ T cells that inhibit T-cell responses and prevent disease development/exacerbation in models of autoimmunity. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that Treg cells are induced in periapical lesions by dental pulp infection. METHODS In situ hybridization (ISH) was used to localize FOXP3+ cells on day 21 after pulp exposure of the first molar teeth and infection with bacteria from the oral environment. FOXP3/GFP knock-in transgenic mice were used to quantify FOXP3+ Treg cells that infiltrate into periapical lesions by flow cytometry on days 7, 14, and 21 after infection. Periodontal ligament from uninfected teeth served as a negative control. RESULTS ISH showed strong signals that showed the presence of FOXP3+ cells mainly at the periphery of periapical lesions. In contrast, no positive cells were present in the periodontal ligament of uninfected controls. Flow cytometry showed an increase in the number of FOXP3+ Treg beginning between day 7 and day 14 (0.69% of the infiltrate) after infection and increased to day 21 (0.94%) (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001, respectively, vs uninfected controls). Treg were also increased in number in draining cervical lymph nodes after pulpal infection. CONCLUSIONS These results show that Treg cells are induced to infiltrate into periapical lesions by pulpal infection and suggest that they increase in a time-dependent manner.

Abstract
The hypsodont equine cheek tooth erupts continuously throughout life. The collagen fibers of the periodontal ligament (PDL) have to remodel constantly to allow the tooth to move in an occlusal direction. Remodeling of the collagen fiber bundles needs to be well-coordinated in order to maintain functional tooth support. The aim of this study was to examine the role of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) in the collagen remodeling of the equine PDL under physiological conditions. Specimens containing the PDL interposed between the dental cementum and the alveolar bone were taken from nine Warmblood horses at three designated horizontal levels: subgingival, middle, and apical. The expression of MMP-1 was detected immunohistochemically. MMP-1 was found to be present in the specimens of all horses. Immunopositive fibroblasts/fibrocytes were accumulated within individual single collagen fascicles. Our results suggest that MMP-1 induced collagen degradation plays a central role in the physiological remodeling of the equine PDL. The distribution of MMP-1 positive fascicles indicates well-directed remodeling which occurs as an asynchronous process, so that only single collagen fascicles are remodeled at the same time. Due to this remodeling of one fascicle at a time, the overall anchorage of the tooth is preserved at all times.

Abstract
This study aimed to elucidate the modulation by nitric oxide (NO) of the apoptosis of macrophages and osteoblasts, the essential cellular components in the development of periapical lesions. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced prominent nitrite synthesis in J774 mouse macrophage cell lines. Exposure to LPS induced obvious apoptosis in J774 cells, whereas transient transfection with murine inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), small interfering RNA (siRNA) diminished this effect. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and S-nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine (SNAP) (a NO donor) triggered apoptosis in UMR-106 rat osteoblastic cell lines and a synergistic effect was noted when TNF-alpha and SNAP were added to the medium together. Administration of siRNAs for c-Fos and c-Jun: components of activator protein-1 (AP-1) and transforming growth factor-beta1 attenuated the combined effect markedly. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end-labeling (TUNEL) stain in a rat model of induced periapical lesion showed positive apoptotic signals in macrophages and osteoblasts. Administration of N(G)-monomethyl-l-arginine markedly diminished the extent of bone loss and the amounts of apoptotic macrophages and osteoblasts. In conclusion, NO mediates LPS-stimulated apoptosis of macrophages. It also induces osteoblast apoptosis and augments the pro-apoptotic effect of cytokines. Inhibition of NO synthesis in vivo attenuates apoptosis and the size of periapical lesions. Taken together, these results suggest that NO may promote the progression of periapical lesion by inducing the apoptosis of macrophages and osteoblasts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Selective cyclo-oxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitors are increasingly prescribed in the perioperative period. Recent recognition of a possible role for COX-2 in wound healing has raised concerns about the safety of their use in surgical practice. Therefore, the influence of celecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, on early anastomotic healing was investigated. METHODS Celecoxib, in doses of 15, 50 or 200 mg per kg per day, was given daily from the day before operation onwards to male Wistar rats that received both ileal and colonic anastomoses. Anastomotic strength was assessed by measuring the breaking strength and bursting pressure on the third day after operation. A second group received a dose of 50 mg per kg per day and a colonic anastomosis only, and healing was assessed on the third and fifth day after surgery. RESULTS Expression of COX-2 protein was upregulated in the anastomotic area. Administration of celecoxib, at all doses tested, resulted in a significantly higher ileal dehiscence rate than in control rats (P = 0.002). In contrast, colonic anastomoses healed normally within the same animals. The latter was confirmed in rats with colonic anastomoses only. CONCLUSION In this model, administration of the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib affected ileal but not colonic anastomotic healing in the early postoperative period.

Abstract
Particle-induced osteolysis is a major cause of aseptic loosening after total joint replacement. The possible induction of apoptosis has not been addressed in great detail. Thus far, it has been shown that ceramic and polyethylene particles can induce apoptosis of macrophages in vitro. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that wears debris generated from total hip arthroplasty could induce cellular damage and apoptosis in vivo. We therefore determined by immunohistochemical methods if increased expression of p53, an important transcription factor, and BAK and Bcl-2, two important regulators of apoptosis, can be found in interface membranes and capsules of hips with aseptically loose implants. Strongly positive immunohistochemical staining for p53 and BAK was found in peri-implant tissues from patients with aseptic hip implant loosening. Differentiation of various cell types showed that macrophages stained positive for p53 in all capsule and interface specimens. p53 was frequently detected in giant cells. Positive staining of BAK in macrophages and giant cells was seen in all specimens. Some positive reactions were observed in fibroblasts, only two of 19 cases stained for p53 and three cases for BAK within synovial cells. Positive macrophages and giant cells were localized around polyethylene particles. While T-lymphocytes showed a regular BAK-staining, the other leukocytes were negative. Statistical analyses showed significant positive correlations (p < 0.001) between the presence of polyethylene and metal debris and the expression of BAK and p53. Polyethylene particles were surrounded by more positive macrophages and giant cells than were metal particles, indicating that polyethylene debris may be a stronger inductor of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis than metal debris. In this study apoptosis of macrophages, giant cells and T-lymphocytes in capsules and interface membranes of patients with aseptic hip implant loosening has been demonstrated in vivo. It is possible that the apoptotic cascade could evolve as a novel therapeutic target to prevent particle-induced osteolysis.

Abstract
AIM To determine whether or not matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13) is present in periapical granulomas with and without epithelium. METHODOLOGY Seventeen open periapical granulomas of pulpal origin (seven lesions without epithelium and 10 with proliferating epithelium) were fixed in formalin and then embedded in paraffin prior to being processed for immunohistochemical analysis. A monoclonal antibody against human MMP-13 was used to evaluate MMP-13 expression. Immunocomplexes were subsequently treated with the secondary antibody and then detected by means of streptavidin peroxidase. Immunoreactivity was visualized by development with 3,3'-diaminobenzidine. RESULTS An immunopositive cytoplasmatic reaction for MMP-13 was observed in all the specimens, although the immunostaining by anti-MMP-13 antibody was heterogeneous and its levels varied according to histopathological findings. In periapical lesions without epithelium MMP-13 immunolabelling was detected in a few fibroblast-like cells, and in some plasma cells within the granulomatous tissue. A clear upregulation of MMP-13 expression was detected in periapical lesions with epithelium, especially in small island and thin strands of epithelium. CONCLUSIONS The expression pattern of MMP-13 demonstrates that it is involved in the conversion of a periapical granuloma with epithelium into a radicular cyst. This property is related to the ability of MMP-13 to influence not only the migration of epithelial cell but also the invasion of granulomatous tissue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade extracellular matrices and are responsible for excessive connective tissue breakdown in inflammatory disorders. We investigated the mechanism of MMP-1 expression in human gingival fibroblasts in response to the stimulation with interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), and the role of inducible-type cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the regulation of MMP-1 expression. MATERIALS AND METHODS We stimulated cultured human gingival fibroblasts with r(h)IL-1beta, and examined the expression of MMP-1 mRNA and protein by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The effect of indomethacin, dexamethasone, or cycloheximide (CHX) on the IL-1beta-induced expression of MMP-1 was examined. The expression of MMP-1 in gingival fibroblasts stimulated with PGE2 was also examined. RESULTS IL-1beta stimulated the expressions of mRNA and protein for MMP-1, in cultured fibroblasts, in time- and concentration-dependent manners. Pretreatment of the cells with indomethacin or dexamethasone inhibited the IL-1beta-induced MMP-1 expression. CHX, a protein synthesis inhibitor, also suppressed the MMP-1 expression. IL-1beta also induced COX-2 expression in gingival fibroblasts, and PGE2, a major COX-2 product, was found to enhance MMP-1 expression. CONCLUSION The IL-1beta-induced MMP-1 expression in gingival fibroblasts may be mediated, at least in part, by COX-2 and its product PGE2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the effects of oncostatin M (OSM), a gp130-type cytokine, on CCL2 expression in MG-63 cells, a human osteosarcoma cell line with a characteristic osteoblastic phenotype, and to investigate the signaling pathway involved. METHODS The expression of messenger RNA (mRNA) for CCL2 and c-Fos was analyzed by Northern blotting. Amounts of CCL2 released into the supernatant were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Western blotting was used to examine the activation of MAPK signaling pathways. Interactions between activator protein 1 (AP-1) and DNA were evaluated by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. RESULTS OSM stimulated CCL2 expression at both the mRNA and the protein levels. Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) was also induced by OSM. However, the up-regulation of CCL2 mRNA was COX-2-independent but required tyrosine kinase and protein kinase C (PKC). OSM stimulated the phosphorylation of MEK-1/2 and ERK-1/2 but not p38 and JNK. A transient elevation of c-Fos mRNA was induced by OSM, but PD 98059 (MEK inhibitor), fludarabine (signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 [STAT-1] inhibitor), and piceatannol (STAT-3 and STAT-5 inhibitor) abolished this effect. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay revealed that OSM stimulated AP-1-DNA binding, which was also abolished by PD 98059, fludarabine, and piceatannol. Supershift study further confirmed the role of c-Fos in the above interaction. PD 98059, fludarabine, piceatannol, and curcumin (AP-1 inhibitor) inhibited the OSM-induced expression of CCL2. CONCLUSION OSM induces CCL-2 expression in osteoblasts. Activation of the MEK/ERK and STAT pathways, which leads to c-Fos expression and AP-1-DNA binding, is involved in the process. The signaling requires tyrosine kinase and PKC but not COX-2.
