Bone 2024; 186:117167. [PMID: 38876270 PMCID: PMC11243590 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2024.117167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
We evaluated the potential of sclerostin antibody (SclAb) therapy to enhance osseointegration of dental and orthopaedic implants in a mouse model (Brtl/+) mimicking moderate to severe Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). To address the challenges in achieving stable implant integration in compromised bone conditions, our aim was to determine the effectiveness of sclerostin antibody (SclAb) at improving bone-to-implant contact and implant fixation strength. Utilizing a combination of micro-computed tomography, mechanical push-in testing, immunohistochemistry, and Western blot analysis, we observed that SclAb treatment significantly enhances bone volume fraction (BV/TV) and bone-implant contact (BIC) in Brtl/+ mice, suggesting a normalization of bone structure toward WT levels. Despite variations in implant survival rates between the maxilla and tibia, SclAb treatment consistently improved implant stability and resistance to mechanical forces, highlighting its potential to overcome the inherent challenges of OI in dental and orthopaedic implant integration. These results suggest that SclAb could be a valuable therapeutic approach for enhancing implant success in compromised bone conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study assessed the impact of an anti-sclerostin monoclonal antibody (Scl-Ab)-based osteoporosis drug on the post-extraction alveolar repair of ovariectomized rats. DESIGN Fifteen female rats were randomly distributed into three groups: CTR (healthy animals), OST (osteoporosis induced by ovariectomy), and OST+Scl-Ab (osteoporosis induction followed by Scl-Ab treatment). Ovariectomy or sham surgery was performed 30 days before baseline, and Scl-Ab or a vehicle was administered accordingly in the groups. After seven days, all rats underwent the first lower molar extraction and were euthanized 15 days later. Computed microtomography, histological analysis, and collagen content measurement were performed on post-extraction sockets and intact mandibular and maxillary bone areas. RESULTS Microtomographic analyses of the sockets and mandibles did not reveal significant differences between groups on bone morphometric parameters (p > 0.05), while maxillary bone analyses resulted in better maintenance of bone architecture in OST+Scl-Ab, compared to OST (p < 0.05). Descriptive histological analysis and polarization microscopy indicated better post-extraction socket repair characteristics and collagen content in OST+Scl-Ab compared to OST (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Scl-Ab-based medication did not accelerate alveolar bone formation but exhibited better post-extraction repair characteristics, and collagen content compared to ovariectomized animals only.

A novel approach in biomedical engineering: The use of polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel encapsulating human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes for enhanced osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis in bone regeneration. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 270:132116. [PMID: 38723803 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132116] [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: 01/28/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
Developing effective methods for alveolar bone defect regeneration is a significant challenge in orthopedics. Exosomes from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUMSC-Exos) have shown potential in bone repair but face limitations due to undefined application methods and mechanisms. To address this, HUMSC-Exos were encapsulated in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel (Exo@PVA) to create a novel material for alveolar bone repair. This combination enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) more effectively than Exos alone. Additionally, Exo@PVA significantly improved alveolar bone regeneration and defect repair in rats. The microRNA-21-5p (miR-21-5p) in Exo@PVA, identified through the GEO database and analyzed via in silico methods, played a crucial role. miR-21-5p promoted BMSC osteogenic differentiation by inhibiting WWP1-mediated KLF5 ubiquitination and enhanced HUVEC angiogenesis by targeting ATP2B4. These findings underscore the potential of an Exo-based approach with PVA hydrogel scaffolds for bone defect repair, operating through the miR-21-5p/WWP1/ATP2B4 signaling axis.

Abstract
Introduction Whitlockite (WH), a rare phosphate mineral within the apatite group, shows potential for bone regeneration owing to its superior composition and biocompatibility compared to hydroxyapatite. It can serve as a carrier for bioactive molecules, gradually releasing them to stimulate bone growth and expedite healing. This study aims to assess the biocompatibility of antibiotic-loaded WH, focusing on ampicillin, for bone regeneration applications. Methodology WH particles loaded with varying concentrations of ampicillin (10 and 25 mM) underwent biocompatibility assessments using the MTT assay. One gram of particles was incubated in 10 mL of culture medium for 24 and 48 hours. Experimental groups included control, WH, WH with ampicillin at 10 mM (WH+A10), WH with ampicillin at 25 mM (WH+A25), and positive control treated with 0.1% Triton X detergent. Subsequently, after a three-day culture period, RunX2 gene expression, indicative of osteoblastic differentiation, was quantified using real-time PCR analysis. Results Our research evaluated the bioactivity of WH particles treated with human osteoblastic cells using the MTT assay. While 10 mM ampicillin-loaded WH showed no significant difference in metabolic activity at both 24 and 48 hours, 25 mM ampicillin-loaded WH exhibited a slight reduction in metabolic activity at 24 hours, which normalized by 48 hours. Additionally, we assessed osteogenic potential and showed a significant increase in RunX2 expression with ampicillin-loaded WH, indicating sustained osteogenic properties. Conclusions Our study underscores the promising biocompatibility of WH particles by retaining their osteogenic properties even when, loaded with ampicillin, offering a potential avenue for future bone regeneration strategies.

Abstract
China's aging demographic poses a challenge for treating prevalent bone diseases impacting life quality. As bone regeneration capacity diminishes with age due to cellular dysfunction and inflammation, advanced biomaterials-based approaches offer hope for aged bone regeneration. This review synthesizes materiobiology principles, focusing on biomaterials that target specific biological functions to restore tissue integrity. It covers strategies for stem cell manipulation, regulation of the inflammatory microenvironment, blood vessel regeneration, intervention in bone anabolism and catabolism, and nerve regulation. The review also explores molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying aged bone regeneration and proposes a database-driven design process for future biomaterial development. These insights may also guide therapies for other age-related conditions, contributing to the pursuit of 'healthy aging'.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Severe periodontitis causes alveolar bone resorption, resulting in tooth loss. Developments of tissue regeneration therapy that can restore alveolar bone mass are desired for periodontal disease. The application of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) has been attempted for bone fractures and severe alveolar bone loss. BMP-2 reportedly induces sclerostin expression, an inhibitor of Wnt signals, that attenuates bone acquisition. However, the effect of sclerostin-deficiency on BMP-2-induced bone regeneration has not been fully elucidated. We investigated BMP-2-induced ectopic bones in Sost-knockout (KO) mice. METHODS rhBMP-2 were implanted into the thighs of C57BL/6 (WT) and Sost-KO male mice at 8 weeks of age. The BMP-2-induced ectopic bones in these mice were examined on days 14 and 28 after implantation. RESULTS Immunohistochemical and quantitative RT-PCR analyses showed that BMP-2-induced ectopic bones expressed sclerostin in osteocytes on days 14 and 28 after implantation in Sost-Green reporter mice. Micro-computed tomography analysis revealed that BMP-2-induced ectopic bones in Sost-KO mice showed a significant increased relative bone volume and bone mineral density (WT = 468 mg/cm3 , Sost-KO = 602 mg/cm3 ) compared with those in WT mice on day 14 after implantation. BMP-2-induced ectopic bones in Sost-KO mice showed an increased horizontal cross-sectional bone area on day 28 after implantation. Immunohistochemical staining showed that BMP-2-induced ectopic bones in Sost-KO mice had an increased number of osteoblasts with osterix-positive nuclei compared with those in WT mice on days 14 and 28 after implantation. CONCLUSION Sclerostin deficiency increased bone mineral density in BMP-2-induced ectopic bones.

Abstract
Sclerostin is a bone formation inhibitor produced by osteocytes. Although sclerostin is mainly expressed in osteocytes, it was also reported in periodontal ligament (PDL) fibroblasts, which are cells that play a role in both osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. Here, we assess the role of sclerostin and its clinically used inhibitor, romosozumab, in both processes. For osteogenesis assays, human PDL fibroblasts were cultured under control or mineralizing conditions with increasing concentrations of sclerostin or romosozumab. For analyzing osteogenic capacity and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, alizarin red staining for mineral deposition and qPCR of osteogenic markers were performed. Osteoclast formation was investigated in the presence of sclerostin or romosozumab and, in PDLs, in the presence of fibroblasts co-cultured with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). PDL-PBMC co-cultures stimulated with sclerostin did not affect osteoclast formation. In contrast, the addition of romosozumab slightly reduced the osteoclast formation in PDL-PBMC co-cultures at high concentrations. Neither sclerostin nor romosozumab affected the osteogenic capacity of PDL fibroblasts. qPCR analysis showed that the mineralization medium upregulated the relative expression of osteogenic markers, but this expression was barely affected when romosozumab was added to the cultures. In order to account for the limited effects of sclerostin or romosozumab, we finally compared the expression of SOST and its receptors LRP-4, -5, and -6 to the expression in osteocyte rich-bone. The expression of SOST, LRP-4, and LRP-5 was higher in osteocytes compared to in PDL cells. The limited interaction of sclerostin or romosozumab with PDL fibroblasts may relate to the primary biological function of the periodontal ligament: to primarily resist bone formation and bone degradation to the benefit of an intact ligament that is indented by every chew movement.

Abstract
Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) is one of the growth factors that may induce the formation of new bone. The aim was to determine the efficacy of low doses of rhBMP-2 for bone regeneration using a collagen sponge as a carrier. Three doses of rhBMP-2 (1.167, 0.117, and 0.039 mg/mL) were combined with an absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) as a delivery vehicle. The rhBMP-2/ACS implants were placed in the subcutaneous tissues of rat backs. X-ray microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) and histological analysis were used to evaluate bone formation. The samples treated with 1.167 mg/mL of rhBMP-2 showed greater bone formation than the samples treated with 0.117 mg/mL of rhBMP-2 four weeks after surgery. However, there was no evidence of bone formation in the samples that were treated with 0.039 mg/mL of rhBMP-2. It was found that rhBMP-2 was osteogenic even at one-tenth of its manufacturer's recommended concentration (1.167 mg/mL), indicating its potential for clinical use at lower concentrations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite extensive research, there is still a need for safe and effective agents to promote spinal fusion. Interleukin (IL)-1β is an important factor which influences the bone repair and remodelling. The purpose of our study was to determine the effect of IL-1β on sclerostin in osteocytes and to explore whether inhibiting the secretion of sclerostin from osteocytes can promote spinal fusion at early stages. METHODS Small-interfering RNA was used to suppress the secretion of sclerostin in Ocy454 cells. MC3T3-E1 cells were cocultured with Ocy454 cells. Osteogenic differentiation and mineralisation of MC3T3-E1 cells were evaluated in vitro. SOST knock-out rat generated using the CRISPR-Cas9 system and rat spinal fusion model was used in vivo. The degree of spinal fusion was assessed by manual palpation, radiographic analysis and histological analysis at 2 and 4 weeks. RESULTS We found that IL-1β level had a positive association with sclerostin level in vivo. IL-1β promoted the expression and secretion of sclerostin in Ocy454 cells in vitro. Inhibition of IL-1β-induced secretion of sclerostin from Ocy454 cells could promote the osteogenic differentiation and mineralisation of cocultured MC3T3-E1 cells in vitro. The extent of spinal graft fusion was greater in SOST-knockout rats than in wild-type rats at 2 and 4 weeks. CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrate that IL-1β contributes to a rise in the level of sclerostin at early stages of bone healing. Suppressing sclerostin may be an important therapeutic target capable of promoting spinal fusion at early stages.

Abstract
In situ-forming hydrogels are highly effective in covering complex and irregular tissue defects. Herein, a biomimetic gel implant (CS-GEL) consisting of methacrylated chondroitin sulfate and gelatin is obtained via visible light irradiation, which displays rapid gelation (∼30 s), suitable mechanical properties, and biological features to support osteoblast attachment and proliferation. Sclerostin is proven to be a viable target to promote osteogenesis. Hence, baicalin, a natural flavonoid with a high affinity to sclerostin, is selected as the therapeutic compound to achieve localized neutralization of sclerostin. To overcome its poor solubility and permeability, a baicalin nanocomplex (BNP) is synthesized using Solutol HS15, which is then dispersed in the CS-GEL to afford a nanocomposite delivery system, i.e., BNP-loaded gel (BNP@CS-GEL). In vitro, BNP significantly downregulated the level of sclerostin in MLO-Y4 osteocytes. In vivo, either CS-GEL or BNP@CS-GEL is proven to effectively promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis in a calvarial critical-sized bone defect rat model, with BNP@CS-GEL showing the best pro-healing effect. Specifically, the BNP@CS-GEL-treated group significantly downregulated the sclerostin level as compared to the sham group (p < 0.05). RANKL expression was also significantly suppressed by BNP in MLO-Y4 cells and BNP@CS-GEL in vivo. Collectively, our study offers a facile and viable gel platform in combination with nanoparticulated baicalin for the localized neutralization of sclerostin to promote bone regeneration and repair.

[PMID: 36835830 PMCID: PMC9964545 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12041294] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: This study reviewed the literature on local or systemic administration of antisclerostin, presenting results associated with osseointegration of dental/orthopedic implants and stimulation of bone remodeling. Materials and Methods: An extensive electronic search was conducted through MED-LINE/PubMed, PubMed Central, Web of Science databases and specific peer-reviewed journals to identify case reports, case series, randomized controlled trials, clinical trials and animal studies comparing either the systemic or local administration of antisclerostin and its effect in osseointegration and bone remodeling. Articles in English and with no restriction on period were included. Results: Twenty articles were selected for a full-text, and one was excluded. Finally, 19 articles were included in the study (16 animal studies and 3 randomized control trials). These studies were divided into two groups, which evaluated (i) osseointegration and (ii) bone remodeling potential. Initially 4560 humans and 1191 animals were identified. At least 1017 were excluded from the studies (981 humans and 36 animals), totaling 4724 subjects who completed (3579 humans and 1145 animals). (a) Osseointegration: 7 studies described this phenomenon; 4 reported bone-implant contact, which increased in all included studies. Similar results were found for bone mineral density, bone area/volume and bone thickness. (b) Bone remodeling: 13 studies were used for description. The studies reported an increase in BMD with sclerostin antibody treatment. A similar effect was found for bone mineral density/area/volume, trabecular bone and bone formation. Three biomarkers of bone formation were identified: bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP), osteocalcin and procollagen type 1 N-terminal Pro-peptide (P1NP); and markers for bone resorption were: serum C-telopeptide (sCTX), C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen (CTX-1), β-isomer of C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen (β-CTX) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP-5b). There were limitations: low number of human studies identified; high divergence in the model used (animal or human); the variance in the type of Scl-Ab and doses of administration; and the lack of reference quantitative values in the parameters analyzed by authors' studies (many articles only reported qualitative information). Conclusion: Within the limitations of this review and carefully observing all data, due to the number of articles included and the heterogeneity existing, more studies must be carried out to better evaluate the action of the antisclerostin on the osseointegration of dental implants. Otherwise, these findings can accelerate and stimulate bone remodeling and neoformation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontitis often causes irrevocable destruction of tooth-supporting tissues and eventually leads to tooth loss. Currently, stem cell-based tissue engineering has achieved a favorable result in regenerating periodontal tissues. Moreover, cell-free therapies that aim to facilitate the recruitment of resident repair cell populations to injured sites by promoting cell mobilization and homing have become alternative options to cell therapy. MAIN TEXT Cell aggregates (e.g., cell sheets) retain a large amount of extracellular matrix which can improve cell viability and survival rates after implantation in vivo. Electrostatic spinning and 3D bioprinting through fabricating specific alignments and interactions scaffold structures have made promising outcomes in the construction of a microenvironment conducive to periodontal regeneration. Cell-free therapies with adding biological agents (growth factors, exosomes and conditioned media) to promote endogenous regeneration have somewhat addressed the limitations of cell therapy. CONCLUSION Hence, this article reviews the progress of stem cell-based tissue engineering and advanced strategies for endogenous regeneration based on stem cell derivatives in periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
Objectives
The use of Sclerostin Antibody(Scl-Ab) as a bone anabolic agent has shown significant benefit in bone disorders in preclinical animal models and human clinical trials. Currently available evidence on the use of Scl-Ab in alveolar bone regeneration is limited to animal studies and hence this scoping review encompasses the animal studies conducted to ascertain the effectiveness of Scl-Ab on alveolar bone regeneration.
Materials and methods
The search strategy was aimed to locate published animal studies in which the treatment arm includes Sclerostin antibody administration for alveolar bone preservation or regeneration. The search terms used were (((Animal model) OR Rodent) AND Alveolar bone defect) AND Anti sclerostin antibody) OR Sclerostin antibody) AND Alveolar bone regeneration) OR Bone regeneration) AND Bone fill.
Results
Of the 559 results from Medline/PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google scholar and additional articles from the references, six were included in the review. Scl-Ab was found to be effective in improving the bone quality and quantity. It was also observed that Scl-Ab was useful in reduced bone density associated with diseases and conditiona affecting osteoblast activity.
Conclusion
The review concluded that Scl-Ab promotes alveolar bone augmentation and improves bone quality without surgical interventions.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofibers have been widely used in dentistry due to their excellent properties, such as high surface area and high porosity, this bibliometric study aimed to review the application fields, research status, and development trends of electrospun nanofibers in different fields of dentistry in recent years. All of the data were obtained from the Web of Science from 2004 to 2021. Origin, Microsoft Excel, VOSviewer, and Carrot2 were used to process, analyze, and evaluate the publication year, countries/region, affiliations, authors, citations, keywords, and journal data. After being refined by the year of publication, document types and research fields, a total of 378 publications were included in this study, and an increasing number of publications was evident. Through linear regression calculations, it is predicted that the number of published articles in 2022 will be 66. The most published journal about electrospun dental materials is Materials Science & Engineering C-Materials for Biological Applications, among the six core journals identified, the percent of journals with Journal Citation Reports (JCR) Q1 was 60%. A total of 17.60% of the publications originated from China, and the most productive institution was the University of Sheffield. Among all the 1949 authors, the most productive author was Marco C. Bottino. Most electrospun dental nanofibers are used in periodontal regeneration, and Polycaprolactone (PCL) is the most frequently used material in all studies. With the global upsurge in research on electrospun dental materials, bone regeneration, tissue regeneration, and cell differentiation and proliferation will still be the research hotspots of electrospun dental materials in recent years. Extensive collaboration and citations among authors, institutions and countries will also reach a new level.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The glycoprotein sclerostin is mostly expressed in osteocytes and plays a central role in human bone metabolism. However, sclerostin and the corresponding SOST gene have been found in periodontal ligament cells under mineralizing conditions as well. The present study aimed to investigate, whether there was a correlation between endogenous SOST expression, the corresponding gene, and mineralization potential in human periodontal ligament cells and to identify different sclerostin expression and secretion patterns in cells derived from individual donors. MATERIAL AND METHODS Primary human periodontal ligament cells of three different donors were cultivated under control or mineralizing conditions for 6, 13, 15 and 18 days, respectively. Calcium deposits were stained with alizarin red and quantified afterwards. Quantitative expression analysis of the SOST gene encoding sclerostin was performed using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Additionally, intracellular sclerostin expression was analyzed using Western blotting and extracellular sclerostin secretion was quantified using Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). RESULTS Alizarin red staining identified calcium deposits in periodontal ligament cells under mineralizing conditions beginning from day 13, relative SOST expression occurred on day 6. Whereas staining continued to increase in donor 1 on day 15, it remained stable in donors 2 and 3. Conversely, baseline SOST expression was significantly lower in donor 1 compared to donors 2 and 3. Western blotting and ELISA revealed increased intra- and extracellular sclerostin expression at day 13 under mineralizing conditions. Donor 3 exhibited the highest overall sclerostin levels. CONCLUSIONS Our data emphasize donor-specific characteristics in differentiation potential and sclerostin expression patterns in primary human periodontal ligament cells. Sclerostin might play a central role in modulating osteogenic differentiation in periodontal ligament cells as part of a negative feedback mechanism in avoiding excessive mineralization.

Abstract
The periodontium supports the teeth by dentoalveolar fibrous joints that serve unique oral functions. Endogenous regeneration of the periodontium around artificial teeth (dental implants) provides a cost-effective solution for the extension of healthy life expectancy but remains a challenge in regenerative medicine. Biomimetics can create smart biomaterials that tune endogenous cells at a tissue-material interface. Here, we created a smart titanium nanosurface mimicking the surface nanotopography and micromechanical properties of the tooth root cementum (TRC), which is essential for the induction of dentoalveolar fibrous joints to regenerate the periodontium. After transplantation into the rat renal capsule, only the titanium artificial tooth with the TRC-mimetic nanosurface formed a complex dentoalveolar fibrous joint structure, with bone tissue, periodontal ligament (PDL), and TRC, in the decellularized jawbone matrix. TRC-mimetic titanium implants induce the formation of functional periodontium, even in a jawbone implantation model, which generally causes osseointegration (ankyloses). In human PDL cells, TRC analogousness in the surface mechanical microenvironment regulates matrix mineralization through bone sialoprotein expression and phosphorus metabolism, which are critical for cementogenesis. Therefore, the titanium nanosurfaces with nanotopographical and mechanical microenvironments mimicking the TRC surface induce dentoalveolar fibrous joints for periodontal regeneration by interfacial tuning of endogenous cells.

Abstract
Sclerostin is the protein product of the SOST gene and is known for its inhibitory effects on bone formation. The monoclonal antibody against sclerostin has been approved as a novel treatment method for osteoporosis. Oral health is one of the essential aspects of general human health. Hereditary bone dysplasia syndrome caused by sclerostin deficiency is often accompanied by some dental malformations, inspiring the therapeutic exploration of sclerostin in the oral and dental fields. Recent studies have found that sclerostin is expressed in several functional cell types in oral tissues, and the expression level of sclerostin is altered in pathological conditions. Sclerostin not only exerts similar negative outcomes on the formation of alveolar bone and bone-like tissues, including dentin and cementum, but also participates in the development of oral inflammatory diseases such as periodontitis, pulpitis, and peri-implantitis. This review aims to highlight related research progress of sclerostin in oral cavity, propose necessary further research in this field, and discuss its potential as a therapeutic target for dental indications and regenerative dentistry.

Abstract
Periodontitis and osteoporosis are prevalent inflammation-associated skeletal disorders that pose significant public health challenges to our aging population. Both periodontitis and osteoporosis are bone disorders closely associated with inflammation and aging. There has been consistent intrigue on whether a systemic skeletal disease such as osteoporosis will amplify the alveolar bone loss in periodontitis. A survey of the literature published in the past 25 years indicates that systemic low bone mineral density (BMD) is associated with alveolar bone loss, while recent evidence also suggests a correlation between clinical attachment loss and other parameters of periodontitis. Inflammation and its influence on bone remodeling play critical roles in the pathogenesis of both osteoporosis and periodontitis and could serve as the central mechanistic link between these disorders. Enhanced cytokine production and elevated inflammatory response exacerbate osteoclastic bone resorption while inhibiting osteoblastic bone formation, resulting in a net bone loss. With aging, accumulation of oxidative stress and cellular senescence drive the progression of osteoporosis and exacerbation of periodontitis. Vitamin D deficiency and smoking are shared risk factors and may mediate the connection between osteoporosis and periodontitis, through increasing oxidative stress and impairing host response to inflammation. With the connection between systemic and localized bone loss in mind, routine dental exams and intraoral radiographs may serve as a low-cost screening tool for low systemic BMD and increased fracture risk. Conversely, patients with fracture risk beyond the intervention threshold are at greater risk for developing severe periodontitis and undergo tooth loss. Various Food and Drug Administration-approved therapies for osteoporosis have shown promising results for treating periodontitis. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying their connection sheds light on potential therapeutic strategies that may facilitate co-management of systemic and localized bone loss.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a widespread inflammatory disease that leads to loss of the tooth supporting periodontal tissues. The few therapies available to regenerate periodontal tissues have high costs and inherent limitations, inspiring the development of new approaches. Studies have shown that periodontal tissues have an inherent capacity for regeneration, driven by multipotent cells residing in the periodontal ligament (PDL). The purpose of this review is to describe the current understanding of the mechanisms driving periodontal wound healing and regeneration that can inform the development of new treatment approaches. The biologic basis underlying established therapies such as guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and growth factor delivery are reviewed, along with examples of biomaterials that have been engineered to improve the effectiveness of these approaches. Emerging therapies such as those targeting Wnt signaling, periodontal cell delivery or recruitment, and tissue engineered scaffolds are described in the context of periodontal wound healing, using key in vivo studies to illustrate the impact these approaches can have on the formation of new cementum, alveolar bone, and PDL. Finally, design principles for engineering new therapies are suggested which build on current knowledge of periodontal wound healing and regeneration.

Abstract
Machine learning models capable of predicting age given a set of inputs are referred to as aging clocks. We recently developed an aging clock that utilizes 491 plasma protein inputs, has an exceptional accuracy, and is capable of measuring biological age. Here, we demonstrate that this clock is extremely predictive (r = 0.95) when used to measure age in a novel plasma proteomic dataset derived from 370 human subjects aged 18-69 years. Over-representation analyses of the proteins that make up this clock in the Gene Ontology and Reactome databases predominantly implicated innate and adaptive immune system processes. Immunological drugs and various age-related diseases were enriched in the DrugBank and GLAD4U databases. By performing an extensive literature review, we find that at least 269 (54.8 %) of these inputs regulate lifespan and/or induce changes relevant to age-related disease when manipulated in an animal model. We also show that, in a large plasma proteomic dataset, the majority (57.2 %) of measurable clock proteins significantly change their expression level with human age. Different subsets of proteins were overlapped with distinct epigenetic, transcriptomic, and proteomic aging clocks. These findings indicate that the inputs of this age predictor likely represent a rich source of anti-aging drug targets.

Application of Implantable Polylactic-Co-Glycolic Acid Microcapsule in Repairing Alveolar Bone Defects. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2021; 2021:5580785. [PMID: 34367304 PMCID: PMC8337143 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5580785] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2021] [Revised: 06/01/2021] [Accepted: 07/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Alveolar bone defects (ABDs) were a perennial problem, especially in the aged. Bisphosphonates, especially etidronate sodium (ET), were frequently used in clinical treatment of ABD. However, the oral administration of ET had poor absorption (<1%). Therefore, optimization of a suitable dosage form substituted with ET to locally repair the ABD was a straightforward approach. Polylactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) is a biodegradable material and had been used in locally implanted medical devices. Therefore, an ET-PLGA microcapsule may help local delivery and prolong the activity of healing ABD. In this paper, a preparation method of ET-PLGA microcapsule was optimized by the single-factor investigation and response surface method. Subsequently, the rat ABD model was used to evaluate the enhancement effect of these microcapsules. Finally, the optimum parameters were determined as follows: 40% dichloromethane, 160 mg/mL PLGA, 10% internal aqua/oil phase, 4% PVA, and emulsifying for 10 min. These microcapsules were spherical in shape and fairly monodisperse in a particle size of 27,51 μm (PDI = 0.3), encapsulation rate 96.6%, and drug loading 4.58%. Compared with the ET groups, the total healing volume of ABD in ET-PLGA groups was significantly increased (P < 0.05). ET-PLGA microcapsules significantly enhanced the effect of ET on ABD. This study provided important technical support for the treatment of ABD with bisphosphonates by local administration. This paper has an exploratory significance for the development of water-soluble bioactive components with low bioavailability for ABD.

Kim WJ, Soh Y, Heo SM. Recent Advances of Therapeutic Targets for the Treatment of Periodontal Disease. Biomol Ther (Seoul) 2021; 29:263-267. [PMID: 33731493 PMCID: PMC8094066 DOI: 10.4062/biomolther.2021.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2021] [Revised: 01/25/2021] [Accepted: 01/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Periodontal disease is primarily associated with bacterial infection such as dental plaque. Dental plaque, an oral biofilm harboring a complex microbial community, can cause various inflammatory reactions in periodontal tissue. In many cases, the local bacterial invasion and host-mediated immune responses lead to severe alveolar bone destruction. To date, plaque control, non-surgical, and surgical interventions have been the conventional periodontal treatment modalities. Although adjuvant therapies including antibiotics or supplements have accompanied these procedures, their usage has been limited by antibiotic resistance, as well as their partial effectiveness. Therefore, new strategies are needed to control local inflammation in the periodontium and host immune responses. In recent years, target molecules that modulate microbial signaling mechanisms, host inflammatory substances, and bone immune responses have received considerable attention by researchers. In this review, we introduce three approaches that suggest a way forward for the development of new treatments for periodontal disease; (1) quorum quenching using quorum sensing inhibitors, (2) inflammasome targeting, and (3) use of FDA-approved anabolic agents, including Teriparatide and sclerostin antibody.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontitis is a highly prevalent inflammatory disease affecting the periodontium that results from an imbalance between periodontopathogens and host mechanisms. Continuous progression of the disease may lead to tissue and bone destruction, eventually resulting in tooth loss. The extent of bone loss depends on the dysregulated host immune response. Various host-elicited molecules play a major role in disease progression. The discovery of the glycoprotein sclerostin and its role as a regulator of bone mass has led to a better understanding of bone metabolism. HIGHLIGHT Sclerostin, which is primarily expressed by osteocytes, is a negative regulator of bone formation. It is a potent antagonist of the canonical Wingless-related integration site (Wnt) pathway, which is actively involved in bone homeostasis. Sclerostin is known to stimulate bone resorption by altering the osteoprotegerin (OPG)/receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa- β ligand (RANKL) balance. Additionally, in periodontitis, activation of the inflammatory cascade also increases the synthesis of sclerostin. CONCLUSION The recently discovered sclerostin antibody has emerged as a positive therapeutic tool for the treatment of metabolic bone diseases. It has been reported to improve bone strength, bone formation, osseointegration around implants and lower the risk of bone fractures in various animal and human models. This review describes the properties and action of sclerostin, its role in periodontal diseases, and the advent and efficacy of sclerostin antibodies.

Wnt signaling: An attractive target for periodontitis treatment. Biomed Pharmacother 2020; 133:110935. [PMID: 33227711 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2020.110935] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2020] [Revised: 10/20/2020] [Accepted: 10/22/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Periodontitis is the most common chronic inflammatory disease, and a leading cause of tooth loss. Characterized by resorption of alveolar process and destruction of periodontal ligaments, periodontitis can impact not only periodontal tissues but also systemic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory infections. Currently, it is a hotspot to manage destruction and gain regeneration of periodontal tissues. Increasing evidence indicates that the Wnt signaling plays an important role in homeostasis of periodontal tissues, functions of periodontal derived cells, and progression of periodontitis. Its molecule expressions were abnormal in periodontitis. As such, modulators targeting the Wnt signaling may be an adjuvant therapy for periodontitis treatment. This review elucidates the role of Wnt signaling and its molecules, with a view to develop a potential application of drugs targeting the Wnt signaling for periodontitis treatment.
