Abstract
The influence of chronic diseases on various facets of macrophage cellular senescence is poorly understood. This study evaluated the impact of chronic hyperglycemia on the induction of cellular senescence and subsequent immunosurveillance functions in RAW264.7 macrophages. Macrophages were cultured under normal glucose (NG; 5 mM), high glucose (HG; 20 mM), and very high glucose (VHG; 40 mM) conditions and assessed for markers of cellular senescence. Hyperglycemia induced strong upregulation of SA-β-gal activity, and loss of PCNA and Lamin B1 gene expression while markers of cell cycle arrest generally decreased. Non-significant changes in SASP-related proteins were observed while ROS levels slightly decreased and mitochondrial membrane potential increased. Protein concentration on the exosome membrane surface and their stability appeared to increase under hyperglycemic conditions. However, when macrophages were exposed to the secretory media (SM) of senescent preadipocytes, a dramatic increase in the levels of all inflammatory proteins was recorded especially in the VHG group that was also accompanied by upregulation of NF-κB and NLRP3 gene expression. SM treatment to hyperglycemic macrophages activated the TLR-2/Myd88 pathway but decreased the expression of scavenger receptors RAGE, CD36, and Olr-1 while CD44 and CXCL16 expression increased. On exposure to LPS, a strong upregulation in NO, ROS, and inflammatory cytokines was observed. Together, these results suggest that primary markers of cellular senescence are aberrantly expressed under chronic hyperglycemic conditions in macrophages with no significant SASP activation. Nonetheless, hyperglycemia strongly deregulates macrophage functions leading to impaired immunosurveillance of senescent cells and aggravation of inflamm-aging. This work provides novel insights into how hyperglycemia-induced dysfunctions can impact the potency of macrophages to manage senescent cell burden in aging tissues.

Ganoderma Microsporum Immunomodulatory Protein Alleviates Inflammaging and Oxidative Stress in Diabetes-Associated Periodontitis via Nrf2 Signaling Activation: An In Vitro Study. Antioxidants (Basel) 2024; 13:817. [PMID: 39061886 PMCID: PMC11273761 DOI: 10.3390/antiox13070817] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2024] [Revised: 06/28/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Periodontitis, characterized by inflammation and loss of periodontal tissue, is a significant health complication for individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM). Buildup of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in DM poses an increased risk of periodontitis via inflammaging. Ganoderma immunomodulatory protein (GMI) shows promise in suppressing inflammaging by mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation via Nrf2 modulation. However, its specific protective effects are not fully understood. Thus, this study aimed to investigate GMI's anti-inflammaging properties and its underlying mechanism in diabetic-associated periodontitis (DP). We first simulated DP by culturing human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) with AGEs and lipopolysaccharides from P. gingivalis (LPS). We then evaluated the impact of GMI on cell proliferation, migration and wound healing. Additionally, we assessed GMI's effects on the components of inflammaging such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, cellular senescence expression, IL-6 and IL-8 secretions, and NF-κB phosphorylation. Next, we explored whether GMI's anti-inflammaging effects are mediated through the Nrf2 pathway by evaluating Nrf2 and HO-1, followed by the assessment of IL-6 and IL-8 post-Nrf2 knockdown. Our findings revealed that GMI treatment suppressed ROS production, cell senescence, IL-6 and IL-8 and NF-κB phosphorylation. Furthermore, GMI upregulated Nrf2/HO-1 expression and its protective effects were reversed when Nrf2 was knocked down. In conclusion, GMI exerts its anti-inflammaging effect via the modulation of the Nrf2/NF-κB signaling axis in DP in vitro, highlighting its potential as an effective adjunct treatment for diabetes-related periodontitis.

Abstract
Most of the elderly population is afflicted by periodontal diseases, creating a health burden worldwide. Cellular senescence is one of the hallmarks of aging and associated with several chronic comorbidities. Senescent cells produce a variety of deleterious secretions, collectively termed the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). This disrupts neighboring cells, leading to further senescence propagation and inciting chronic inflammation, known as "inflammaging." Detrimental repercussions within the tissue microenvironment can trigger senescence at a younger age, accelerate biological aging, and drive the initiation or progression of diseases. Here, we investigated the biological signatures of senescence in healthy and diseased gingival tissues by assessing the levels of key senescence markers (p16, lipofuscin, and β-galactosidase) and inflammatory mediators (interleukin [IL]-1β, IL-6, IL-8, matrix metalloproteinase [MMP]-1, MMP-3, and tumor necrosis factor-α). Our results showed significantly increased senescence features including p16, lipofuscin, and β-galactosidase in both epithelial and connective tissues of periodontitis patients compared with healthy sites in all age groups, indicating that an inflammatory microenvironment can trigger senescence-like alterations in younger diseased gingival tissues as well. Subsequent analyses using double staining with specific cell markers noted the enrichment of β-galactosidase in fibroblasts and macrophages. Concurrently, inflammatory mediators consistent with SASP were increased in the gingival biopsies obtained from periodontitis lesions. Together, our findings provide the first clinical report revealing susceptibility to elevated senescence and inflammatory milieu consistent with senescence secretome in gingival tissues, thus introducing senescence as one of the drivers of pathological events in the oral mucosa and a novel strategy for targeted interventions.

Abstract
Diabetes is associated with numerous comorbidities, one of which is increased vulnerability to infections. This review will focus on how diabetes mellitus (DM) affects the immune system and its various components, leading to the impaired proliferation of immune cells and the induction of senescence. We will explore how the pathology of diabetes-induced immune dysfunction may have similarities to the pathways of "inflammaging", a persistent low-grade inflammation common in the elderly. Inflammaging may increase the likelihood of conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontitis at a younger age. Diabetes affects bone marrow composition and cellular senescence, and in combination with advanced age also affects lymphopoiesis by increasing myeloid differentiation and reducing lymphoid differentiation. Consequently, this leads to a reduced immune system response in both the innate and adaptive phases, resulting in higher infection rates, reduced vaccine response, and increased immune cells' senescence in diabetics. We will also explore how some diabetes drugs induce immune senescence despite their benefits on glycemic control.

Abstract
Early fluctuations in blood glucose levels increased susceptibility to macrophage dysfunction. However, the underlying pathological mechanisms linking glucose variations and macrophage dysregulation remains elusive. In current study, we established an animal model of transient intermittent hyperglycaemia (TIH) to simulate early fluctuations in blood glucose levels. Our findings revealed that both TIH and diabetic group exhibited more severe periodontal lesions and increased secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines compared to healthy controls. In immortalized bone marrow-derived macrophages (iBMDMs), phagocytosis and chemotaxis were impaired with transient and lasting hyperglycaemia, accompanied by enhanced glycolysis. We also found that TIH activated pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) through the phosphorylation of extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK) in vivo, particularly at dimeric levels. In macrophage cultured with TIH, PKM2 translocated into the nucleus and involved in the regulating inflammatory genes, including TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β. PKM2 translocation and secretion of inflammatory cytokines were attenuated by PD98059, while PKM2 tetramer activator TEPP-46 prevented the formation of dimeric PKM2 in macrophages. Moreover, inhibition of glycolysis alleviated the TIH-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines. In conclusion, our manuscript provides a rationale for understanding how TIH modulates metabolic rewiring and dysfunction in macrophages via ERK-dependent PKM2 nuclear translocation.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is a state of terminal growth arrest associated with the upregulation of different cell cycle inhibitors, mainly p16 and p21, structural and metabolic alterations, chronic DNA damage responses, and a hypersecretory state known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The SASP is the major mediator of the paracrine effects of senescent cells in their tissue microenvironment and of various local and systemic biological functions. In this Review, we discuss the composition, dynamics and heterogeneity of the SASP as well as the mechanisms underlying its induction and regulation. We describe the various biological properties of the SASP, its beneficial and detrimental effects in different physiological and pathological settings, and its impact on overall health span. Finally, we discuss the use of the SASP as a biomarker and of SASP inhibitors as senomorphic interventions to treat cancer and other age-related conditions.

Abstract
The junctional epithelium (JE) serves a crucial protective role in the periodontium. High glucose-related aging results in accelerated barrier dysfunction of the gingival epithelium, which may be associated with diabetic periodontitis. Metformin, an oral hypoglycemic therapeutic, has been proposed as a anti-aging agent. This study aimed to clarify the effect of metformin on diabetic periodontitis and explore its mechanism in ameliorating senescence of JE during hyperglycemia. The db/db mice was used as a diabetic model mice and alterations in the periodontium were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry. An ameloblast-like cell line (ALC) was cultured with high glucose to induce senescence. Cellular senescence and oxidative stress were evaluated by SA-β-gal staining and Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Senescence biomarkers, P21 and P53, and autophagy markers, LC3-II/LC3-I, were measured by western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR. To construct a stable SIRT1 (Sirtuin 1) overexpression cell line, we transfected ALCs with lentiviral vectors overexpressing the mouse SIRT1 gene. Cellular senescence was increased in the JE of db/db mice and the periodontium was destroyed, which could be alleviated by metformin. Moreover, oxidative stress and cellular senescence in a high glucose environment were reduced by metformin in in-vitro assays. The autophagy inhibitor 3-MA and SIRT1 inhibitor EX-527 could dampen the effects of metformin. Overexpression of SIRT1 resulted in increased autophagy and decreased oxidative stress and cellular senescence. Meanwhile, AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) inhibition reversed the anti-senescence effects of metformin. Overall, these results suggest that metformin alleviates periodontal damage in db/db mice and cellular senescence in ALCs under high glucose conditions via the AMPK/SIRT1/autophagy pathway.

Abstract
There is strong evidence that most individuals in the elderly population are characterized by inflamm-aging which refers to a subtle increase in the systemic pro-inflammatory environment and impaired innate immune activation. Although a variety of distinct factors are associated with the progression of inflamm-aging, emerging research is demonstrating a dynamic relationship between the processes of cellular senescence and inflamm-aging. Cellular senescence is a recognized factor governing organismal aging, and through a characteristic secretome, accumulating senescent cells can induce and augment a pro-inflammatory tissue environment that provides a rationale for immune system-independent activation of inflamm-aging and associated diseases. There is also accumulating evidence that inflamm-aging or its components can directly accelerate the development of senescent cells and ultimately senescent cell burden in tissues in a likely vicious inflammatory loop. The present review is intended to describe the emerging senescence-based molecular etiology of inflamm-aging as well as the dynamic reciprocal interactions between inflamm-aging and cellular senescence. Therapeutic interventions concurrently targeting cellular senescence and inflamm-aging are discussed and limitations as well as research opportunities have been deliberated. An effort has been made to provide a rationale for integrating inflamm-aging with cellular senescence both as an underlying cause and therapeutic target for further studies.

Abstract
Metabolic diseases and their complications impose health and economic burdens worldwide. Evidence from past experimental studies and clinical trials suggests our body may have the ability to remember the past metabolic environment, such as hyperglycemia or hyperlipidemia, thus leading to chronic inflammatory disorders and other diseases even after the elimination of these metabolic environments. The long-term effects of that aberrant metabolism on the body have been summarized as metabolic memory and are found to assume a crucial role in states of health and disease. Multiple molecular mechanisms collectively participate in metabolic memory management, resulting in different cellular alterations as well as tissue and organ dysfunctions, culminating in disease progression and even affecting offspring. The elucidation and expansion of the concept of metabolic memory provides more comprehensive insight into pathogenic mechanisms underlying metabolic diseases and complications and promises to be a new target in disease detection and management. Here, we retrace the history of relevant research on metabolic memory and summarize its salient characteristics. We provide a detailed discussion of the mechanisms by which metabolic memory may be involved in disease development at molecular, cellular, and organ levels, with emphasis on the impact of epigenetic modulations. Finally, we present some of the pivotal findings arguing in favor of targeting metabolic memory to develop therapeutic strategies for metabolic diseases and provide the latest reflections on the consequences of metabolic memory as well as their implications for human health and diseases.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a significant health concern for individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM), characterized by inflammation and periodontium loss. Hyperglycaemia in DM exacerbates susceptibility to periodontitis by inducing inflammaging in the host immune system. The use of erbium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser (ErL) in periodontitis treatment has gained attention, but its impact on diabetic-associated periodontitis (DP) and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we simulated DP by exposing human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLFs) to advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and lipopolysaccharides from P. gingivalis (Pg-LPS). Subsequently, we evaluated the impact of ErL on the cells' wound healing and assessed their inflammaging markers. ErL treatment promoted wound healing and suppressed inflammaging activities, including cell senescence, IL-6 secretion, and p65 phosphorylation. Moreover, the laser-targeted cells were observed to have upregulated expression of CTBP1-AS2, which, when overexpressed, enhanced wound healing ability and repressed inflammaging. Moreover, bioinformatic analysis revealed that CTBP1-AS2 acted as a sponge for miR155 and upregulated SIRT1. In conclusion, ErL demonstrated the ability to improve wound healing and mitigate inflammaging in diabetic periodontal tissue through the CTBP1-AS2/miR-155/SIRT1 axis. Targeting this axis could represent a promising therapeutic approach for preventing periodontitis in individuals with DM.

Borgnakke WS. Current scientific evidence for why periodontitis should be included in diabetes management. FRONTIERS IN CLINICAL DIABETES AND HEALTHCARE 2024; 4:1257087. [PMID: 38274772 PMCID: PMC10809181 DOI: 10.3389/fcdhc.2023.1257087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
This Perspective provides a brief summary of the scientific evidence for the two-way links between periodontal diseases and hyperglycemia (diabetes mellitus [DM] and pre-DM). It delivers in a nutshell current scientific evidence for manifestations of hyperglycemia on periodontal health status and effects of periodontal diseases on blood glucose levels and in turn incidence, progression, and complications of diabetes. Of outmost importance is presentation of scientific evidence for the potential of routine periodontal treatment to lower blood glucose levels, providing a novel, economical tool in DM management. Non-surgical periodontal treatment ("deep cleaning") can be provided by dental hygienists or dentists in general dental offices, although severe cases should be referred to specialists. Such therapy can decrease the costs of DM care and other health care costs for people with DM. The great importance of a healthy oral cavity free of infection and subsequent inflammation - especially periodontitis that if untreated will cause loosening and eventually loss of affected teeth - has largely gone unnoticed by the medical community as the health care curricula are largely void of content regarding the bi-directional links between oral health and systemic health, despite elevation of blood glucose levels being an integral part of the general systemic inflammation response. The importance of keeping disease-free, natural teeth for proper biting and chewing, smiling, self-esteem, and pain avoidance cannot be overestimated. Medical and dental professionals are strongly encouraged to collaborate in patient-centered care for their mutual patients with - or at risk for - hyperglycemia.

Quercetin ameliorates advanced glycation end product-induced wound healing impairment and inflammaging in human gingival fibroblasts. J Dent Sci 2024; 19:268-275. [PMID: 38303825 PMCID: PMC10829550 DOI: 10.1016/j.jds.2023.04.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Revised: 04/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/purpose Diabetes mellitus (DM) and periodontal disease are both prevalent and chronic inflammatory disorders that have significant health impact. Many studies have pointed out that advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in DM induces inflammaging, which is a pre-aging and hyperinflammatory condition, and it has been linked to a greater likelihood in developing periodontitis. Inflammaging in DM has been shown to be driven by AGEs-induced cell senescence, inflammatory cytokines, and oxidative stress, resulting in the degradation of periodontium. Quercetin has shown abilities to decrease inflammation and oxidative stress in a variety of tissues, however, the effect in diabetic periodontitis remains uncertain. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate its impacts on inflammaging in diabetic periodontitis. Materials and methods We examined cell proliferation in human gingival fibroblasts (HGF), wound healing, IL-6 and IL-8 secretions, cellular senescence expression, and the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in response to AGE stimulation with and without Quercetin intervention. Following that, we looked into NF-κβ activity to see if Quercetin mediate its effects via this pro-inflammatory signaling. Results Quercetin at 20 μM and below did not have any impact on HGFs' cell proliferation rate. Quercetin intervention improved the AGEs-impaired wound healing, in addition to the attenuation of AGEs-induced ROS in a dose-dependent pattern. Moreover, Quercetin therapy dose-dependently inhibited AGEs-induced cell senescence activity along with its senescence associated secretion phenotype (SASP) secretions such as IL-6 and IL-8. Western blot analysis indicated that Quercetin was able to reverse the phosphorylation of p65 and Iκβ in AGEs-stimulated HGFs, demonstrating it can modulate NF-κβ pathway. Conclusion Accumulation of AGEs can elicit inflammaging in HGFs, as seen by increased pro-inflammatory cytokines, cell senescence expression and oxidative stress. The results proposed that Quercetin is able to ameliorate inflammaging in diabetic periodontitis and improve wound healing via the suppression of NF-κβ pathway and hence, may be a promising approach for treatment of diabetes-associated periodontitis.

J Clin Periodontol 2023; 50:1685-1696. [PMID: 37661095 DOI: 10.1111/jcpe.13871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023]
Abstract
AIM To explore whether hyperglycaemia plays a role in periodontal inflamm-aging by inducing phenotypical transformation of macrophages, as well as the potential mechanism via SET domain-bifurcated histone lysine methyltransferase 1 (SETDB1). MATERIALS AND METHODS A hyperglycaemic mouse model was established using streptozotocin injection. The alveolar bone was analysed using micro-computed tomography. Periodontal inflamm-aging was detected using western blotting, quantitative real-time PCR and immunohistochemical analysis. In vitro, RAW 264.7 macrophages were incubated with various doses of glucose. siRNA or overexpression plasmids were used to determine the regulatory mechanism of SETDB1 in macrophage senescence and inflamm-aging under hyperglycaemic conditions. Expression and distribution of SETDB1 and long interspersed element 1 (LINE-1) in gingival tissues of patients with or without diabetes were detected using immunofluorescent staining. RESULTS SETDB1 expression in the periodontal tissues of patients and mice with diabetes was down-regulated compared with that in non-diabetic controls. SETDB1 deficiency induced senescence-like phenotypical changes in macrophages, which aggravated periodontal inflamm-aging in diabetic mice. Furthermore, metformin treatment rejuvenated SETDB1 activity and alleviated the hyperglycaemia-induced periodontal inflamm-aging. CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study show that SETDB1 regulates senescence-like phenotypical switching of macrophages and is a potential candidate for the treatment of diabetes-induced periodontal inflamm-aging.

Abstract
Oral aging causes conditions including periodontal disease. We investigated how the sugar alcohol erythritol, which has anti-caries effects, impacts aging periodontal tissues and gingival fibroblasts in mice and humans in vivo and in vitro. Mice were classified into three groups: control groups of six-week-old (YC) and eighteen-month-old mice (AC) and a group receiving 5% w/w erythritol water for 6 months (AE). After rearing, RNA was extracted from the gingiva, and the levels of aging-related molecules were measured using PCR. Immunostaining was performed for the aging markers p21, γH2AX, and NF-κB p65. p16, p21, γH2AX, IL-1β, and TNFα mRNA expression levels were higher in the gingiva of the AC group than in the YC group, while this enhanced expression was significantly suppressed in AE gingiva. NF-κB p65 expression was high in the AC group but was strongly suppressed in the AE group. We induced senescence in cultured human gingival fibroblasts using H2O2 and lipopolysaccharide before erythritol treatment, which reduced elevated senescence-related marker (p16, p21, SA-β-gal, IL-1β, and TNFα) expression levels. Knockdown of PFK or PGAM promoted p16 and p21 mRNA expression, but erythritol subsequently rescued pyruvate production. Overall, intraoral erythritol administration may prevent age-related oral mucosal diseases.

Relationship between circulating senescence-associated secretory phenotype levels and severity of type 2 diabetes-associated periodontitis: A cross-sectional study. J Periodontol 2023; 94:986-996. [PMID: 36688675 DOI: 10.1002/jper.22-0445] [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: 07/26/2022] [Revised: 10/18/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) has recently been found to drive comorbid diabetes and periodontitis by inducing a chronic, low-degree inflammatory state. Here, we sought to explore the relationship between circulating SASP and the severity of type 2 diabetes-associated periodontitis (DP). METHODS Eighty patients (middle-aged periodontitis, M-P group; aged periodontitis, A-P group; M-DP group; and A-DP group; n = 20) provided gingival epithelium, serum, and periodontal clinical parameters. Circulating levels of 12 DP-related SASP factors were analyzed by immunoassay. Correlation between periodontal clinical parameters and circulating SASP levels was analyzed by Spearman's rank correlation coefficient and back propagation artificial neural network (BPNN). Senescence markers (p16, p21, and HMGB1) in gingiva were determined by immunofluorescence assay. RESULTS M-DP group had increased serum levels of twelve SASP factors compared with the M-P group (p < 0.5). Serum levels of IL-6, IL-4, and RAGE were higher in the A-DP group than the A-P group (p < 0.5). The circulating concentrations of certain SASP proteins, including IL-1β, IL-4, MMP-8, OPG, RANKL, and RAGE were correlated with the clinical parameters of DP. BPNN showed that serum SASP levels had considerable predictive value for CAL of DP. Additionally, the DP group had higher expressions of p16, p21, and cytoplasmic-HMGB1 in the gingiva than the P group (p < 0.5). CONCLUSIONS Significantly enhanced circulating SASP levels and aggravated periodontal destruction were observed in patients with DP. Importantly, a non-negligible association between serum SASP levels and the severity of DP was found.

Abstract
Diabetic periodontitis is a major complication of diabetes, which has a deep involvement in teeth loss and more serious systematic diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis and cancers. Diabetic periodontitis is difficult to treat because of recalcitrant infection and hyperglycemia-induced tissue dysfunction. Current treatments fail to completely eliminate infection due to the diffusion-reaction inhibition of biofilm, and ignore the tissue dysfunction. Here, we design a glucose-driven transformable complex, composed of calcium alginate (CaAlg) hydrogel shell and Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) core encapsulating Glucose oxidase (GOx)/Catalase (CAT) and Minocycline (MINO), named as CaAlg@MINO/GOx/CAT/ZIF-8 (CMGCZ). The reaction product of glucose-scavenging, gluconic acid, could dissolve ZIF-8 core and transform CMGCZ from inflexible to flexible, facilitating the complex to overcome the diffusion-reaction inhibition of biofilm. Meanwhile, reduced glucose concentration could ameliorate the pyroptosis of macrophages to decrease the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors, thereby reducing inflamm-aging to alleviate periodontal dysfunction.

Abstract
Advanced age is a shared risk factor for many chronic and debilitating skeletal diseases including osteoporosis and periodontitis. Mesenchymal stem cells develop various aging phenotypes including the onset of senescence, intrinsic loss of regenerative potential and exacerbation of inflammatory microenvironment via secretory factors. This review elaborates on the emerging concepts on the molecular and epigenetic mechanisms of MSC senescence, such as the accumulation of oxidative stress, DNA damage and mitochondrial dysfunction. Senescent MSCs aggravate local inflammation, disrupt bone remodeling and bone-fat balance, thereby contributing to the progression of age-related bone diseases. Various rejuvenation strategies to target senescent MSCs could present a promising paradigm to restore skeletal aging.

Abstract
Periodontal disease (PD) is an immune-inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, which results in progressive destruction of the hard and soft tissues surrounding teeth, ultimately resulting in tooth loss. The primary etiological factor for this disease is the presence of pathogenic microorganisms. Pathogenic bacteria face antagonistic conditions and foreign DNA components during the infection stage and depend on defense mechanisms such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas to counter them. Virulence genes regulated by the CRISPR-Cas system are often expressed by bacteria as part of the stress response to the presence of stress conditions and foreign elements. There is ever-growing evidence regarding the role of CRISPR-Cas in virulence of periodontal pathogens. The same CRISPR-Cas system may also be targeted to reduce bacterial virulence and it may also be utilized to develop diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for prevention and control of PD progression. This review article describes the CRISPR-Cas systems in the periodontal dysbiotic microbial communities, their role in the virulence of periodontal pathogens, and their potential role in understanding the pathogenesis of periodontitis and treatment of PD.

Abstract
The inflammasome is a protein complex composed of a variety of proteins in cells and which participates in the innate immune response of the body. It can be activated by upstream signal regulation and plays an important role in pyroptosis, apoptosis, inflammation, tumor regulation, etc. In recent years, the number of metabolic syndrome patients with insulin resistance (IR) has increased year by year, and the inflammasome is closely related to the occurrence and development of metabolic diseases. The inflammasome can directly or indirectly affect conduction of the insulin signaling pathway, involvement the occurrence of IR and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Moreover, various therapeutic agents also work through the inflammasome to treat with diabetes. This review focuses on the role of inflammasome on IR and T2DM, pointing out the association and utility value. Briefly, we have discussed the main inflammasomes, including NLRP1, NLRP3, NLRC4, NLRP6 and AIM2, as well as their structure, activation and regulation in IR were described in detail. Finally, we discussed the current therapeutic options-associated with inflammasome for the treatment of T2DM. Specially, the NLRP3-related therapeutic agents and options are widely developed. In summary, this article reviews the role of and research progress on the inflammasome in IR and T2DM.

Elsayed R, Elashiry M, Liu Y, Morandini AC, El-Awady A, Elashiry MM, Hamrick M, Cutler CW. Microbially-Induced Exosomes from Dendritic Cells Promote Paracrine Immune Senescence: Novel Mechanism of Bone Degenerative Disease in Mice. Aging Dis 2023; 14:136-151. [PMID: 36818565 PMCID: PMC9937696 DOI: 10.14336/ad.2022.0623] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
As the aging population grows, chronic age-related bone degenerative diseases become more prevalent and severe. One such disease, periodontitis (PD), rises to 70.1% prevalence in Americans 65 years and older. PD has been linked to increased risk of other age-related diseases with more serious mortality and morbidity profiles such as Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular disease, but the cellular and biological mechanisms remain unclear. Recent in vitro studies from our group indicate that murine dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells are vulnerable to immune senescence. This occurs through a distinct process involving invasion of DCs by dysbiotic pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) activating the senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Exosomes of the Pg-induced SASP transmit senescence to normal bystander DC and T cells, ablating antigen presentation. The biological significance of these findings in vivo and the mechanisms involved were examined in the present study using young (4-5mo) or old (22-24mo) mice subjected to ligature-induced PD, with or without dysbiotic oral pathogen and injection of Pg-induced DC exosomes. Senescence profiling of gingiva and draining lymph nodes (LN) corroborates role of advanced age and PD in elevation of senescence biomarkers beta galactosidase (SA-β-Gal), p16 INK4A p21Waf1/Clip1, IL6, TNFα, and IL1β, with attendant increase in alveolar bone loss, reversed by senolytic agent rapamycin. Immunophenotyping of gingiva and LN revealed that myeloid CD11c+ DCs and T cells are particularly vulnerable to senescence in vivo under these conditions. Moreover, Pg-induced DC exosomes were the most potent inducers of alveolar bone loss and immune senescence, and capable of overcoming senescence resistance of LN T cells in young mice. We conclude that immune senescence, compounded by advanced age, and accelerated by oral dysbiosis and its induced SASP exosomes, plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of experimental periodontitis.

Abstract
The senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which accumulates over the course of normal aging and in age-related diseases, is a crucial driver of chronic inflammation and aging phenotypes. It is also responsible for the pathogenesis of multiple oral diseases. However, the pathogenic mechanism underlying SASP has not yet been fully elucidated. Here, relevant articles on SASP published over the last five years (2017-2022) were retrieved and used for bibliometric analysis, for the first time, to examine SASP composition. More than half of the relevant articles focus on various cytokines (27.5%), growth factors (20.9%), and proteases (20.9%). In addition, lipid metabolites (13.1%) and extracellular vesicles (6.5%) have received increasing attention over the past five years, and have been recognized as novel SASP categories. Based on this, we summarize the evidences demonstrating that SASP plays a pleiotropic role in oral immunity and propose a four-step hypothetical framework for the progression of SASP-related oral pathology-1) oral SASP development, 2) SASP-related oral pathological alterations, 3) pathological changes leading to oral immune homeostasis disruption, and 4) SASP-mediated immune dysregulation escalating oral disease. By targeting specific SASP factors, potential therapies can be developed to treat oral and age-related diseases.

Abstract
Background/purpose Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. A growing evidence suggests that hyperglycemia in DM causes a pre-aging and pro-inflammatory condition known as inflammaging, which increases periodontitis susceptibility. Bromelain has been demonstrated to have anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties in variety of tissues, but its effects on diabetic periodontitis remain unclear. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the its Bromelain's impact in diabetic periodontitis in terms of inflammation and senescence activity. Materials and methods We assessed the wound healing capacity, production of pro-inflammatory cytokines Interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 and senescence marker p16 in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) in response to Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) stimulant, with or without Bromelain treatment. The expression of p65, p-ERK, and p-p38 were also examined to elucidate whether Bromelain's anti-inflammaging activity is mediated through NF-κB and MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. Results Bromelain concentrations ranging from 2.5 to 20 g/mL had no adverse effect on HGF cell proliferation. Bromelain improved wound healing in HGFs with AGEs stimulation. In addition, Bromelain suppressed the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 in HGFs elicited by AGEs. Meanwhile, Bromelain treatment also inhibited the senescence activity and expression of p16 in AGEs-stimulated HGFs. Western blot analysis indicated that the upregulation of p-ERK, p-p38 and p65 induced by AGEs were inhibited by Bromelain in HGFs. Conclusion These data suggest that excessive AGEs in the gingiva may lead to the accumulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and marked senescence activity. Bromelain application may be helpful in enhancing wound healing by suppressing inflammaging via downregulation of NF-κB and MAPK/ERK signaling pathways in DM individuals with periodontal disease.

Abstract
Background /purpose: Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs in the tissues that support and attach teeth. There is considerable evidence of a relationship between diabetes and periodontal disease. Emerging studies have reported that myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) can inhibit apoptosis and inflammation. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether MYDGF mediates the role of hyperglycemia in fibroblasts in periodontitis tissues. Materials and methods Fibroblasts were isolated and cultured from normal gums. Gene expression levels were detected by RT-PCR. The protein level was detected by western blotting. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay. To investigate the role of MYDGF, the plasmid was transfected into fibroblasts. The expression levels of cytokines were determined by ELISA. Results High glucose can down-regulate the expression of MYDGF in human gingival fibroblasts in a time-dependent manner, and decrease the fibroblast activity. SOD level was decreased and MDA level was increased in gingival fibroblasts by high glucose. High glucose up-regulates pro-apoptotic indicator Bax, down-regulates anti-apototic indicator Bcl-2, and increased endoplasmic reticulum stress related indicators Nox 2, GRP78, ATF6, and PERK. In addition, high glucose increased TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-8 and CXCL1 protein levels in fibroblasts. Our study also found that high glucose inhibits the AKT signaling pathway and activates the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathway. Interestingly, overexpression of MYDGF reversed these effects. Conclusion MYDGF is down-regulated in gingival fibroblasts induced by high glucose. Overexpression of MYDGF inhibits apoptosis induced by high glucose, inhibits oxidative stress and cytokine secretion of gingival fibroblasts induced by high glucose, and induces AKT pathway activation and NF-κB pathway inhibition.

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
Inflammasome activation exacerbates infectious disease caused by pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Although these pathogens activate host inflammasomes to regulate pathogen expansion, the mechanisms by which pathogen toxins contribute to inflammasome activation remain poorly understood. Here we show that activation of inflammasomes by Listeria infection is promoted by amino acid residue T223 of listeriolysin O (LLO) independently of its pore-forming activity. LLO T223 is critical for phosphorylation of the inflammasome adaptor ASC at amino acid residue Y144 through Lyn-Syk signaling, which is essential for ASC oligomerization. Notably, a Listeria mutant expressing LLO T223A is impaired in inducing ASC phosphorylation and inflammasome activation. Furthermore, the virulence of LLO T223A mutant is markedly attenuated in vivo due to impaired ability to activate the inflammasome. Our results reveal a function of a pathogen toxin that exacerbates infection by promoting phosphorylation of ASC.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Exogenous melatonin inhibited the senescence of preosteoblast cells in type 1 diabetic (T1D) mice and those cultured in high glucose (HG) by multiple regulations. Exogenous melatonin had a protective effect on diabetic osteoporosis, which may depend on the inhibition of senescence. INTRODUCTION Senescence is thought to play an important role in the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying diabetic bone loss. Increasing evidence has shown that melatonin exerts anti-senescence effects. In this study, we investigated whether melatonin can inhibit senescence and prevent diabetic bone loss. METHODS C57BL/6 mice received a single intraperitoneal injection of 160 mg/kg streptozotocin, followed by the oral administration of melatonin or vehicle for 2 months. Then, tissues were harvested and subsequently examined. MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured under HG conditions for 7 days and then treated with melatonin or not for 24 h. Sirt1-specific siRNAs and MT1- or MT2-specific shRNA plasmids were transfected into MC3T3-E1 cells for mechanistic study. RESULTS The total protein extracted from mouse femurs revealed that melatonin prevented senescence in T1D mice. The micro-CT results indicated that melatonin prevented bone loss in T1D mice. Cellular experiments indicated that melatonin administration prevented HG-induced senescence, whereas knockdown of the melatonin receptors MT1 or MT2 abolished these effects. Sirt1 expression was upregulated by melatonin administration but significantly reduced after MT1 or MT2 was knocked down. Knockdown of Sirt1 blocked the anti-senescence effects of melatonin. Additionally, melatonin promoted the expression of CDK2, CDK4, and CyclinD1, while knockdown of MT1 or MT2 abolished these effects. Furthermore, melatonin increased the expression of the polycomb repressive complex (PRC), but knockdown of MT1 or MT2 abolished these effects. Furthermore, melatonin increased the protein levels of Sirt1, PRC1/2 complex-, and cell cycle-related proteins. CONCLUSION This work shows that melatonin protects against T1D-induced bone loss, probably by inhibiting senescence. Targeting senescence in the investigation of diabetic osteoporosis may lead to novel discoveries.

Abstract
A recent discovery of revolutionary Clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR) is a gene-editing tool that provides a type of adaptive immunity in prokaryotic organisms, which is currently used as a revolutionizing tool in biomedical research. It has a mechanism of correcting genome errors, turning on/off genes in cells and organisms. Most importantly playing a crucial function in bacterial defence by identifying and destroying Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) segments during bacteriophage invasions since the CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) enzyme recognizes and cleaves invasive DNA sequences complementary to CRISPR. Therefore, researchers employ this biological device to manipulate the genes to develop new therapies to combat systemic diseases. Currently, the most significant advance at the laboratory level is the generation of cell and animal models, functional genomic screens, live images of the cell genome, and defective DNA repairs to find the cure for genetic disorders. Even though this technology has enormous biomedical applications in various sectors, this review will summarize CRISPR/Cas emphasizing both the therapeutic and diagnostic mechanisms developed in the field of dentistry and the promising attempts to transfer this technology to clinical application. Finally, future developments are also described, which proposes to use CRISPR/Cas systems for prospective clinical dentistry applications.

Abstract
Healthcare systems encumbered by cardiovascular diseases demand adequate cardiovascular prevention. Indeed, even with the most novel therapies, the residual cardiovascular risk still fuels morbidity and mortality. Addressing inflammation as a putative mediator of this risk has brought along promising in vitro results, though large clinical trials have only in part confirmed them. To fully exploit the therapeutic potential between the inflammatory hypothesis, a change of viewpoint is required. Focus on microcirculation, whose dysfunction is the primary driver of cardiometabolic disease, is mandatory. Several factors play a pivotal role in the capacity of microvascular inflammation to promote a health-to-disease transition: the adipose tissue (in particular, perivascular and epicardial), the mitochondria function, the hyperglycemic damage and their epigenetic signature. Indeed, the low-grade inflammatory response, which is now an acknowledged hallmark of cardiometabolic disease, is promoted by these mediators and leaves a permanent epigenetic scar on the microvasculature. Even if a more profound knowledge about the mechanisms of metabolic memory has been brought to light by recent evidence, we still have to fully understand its mechanisms and clinical potential. Addressing the detrimental role of inflammation by targeting the microvascular phenotype and leveraging epigenetics is the road down which we must go to achieve satisfactory cardiovascular prevention, ultimately leading to disease-free ageing.

Abstract
AIM Pyroptosis and inflamm-aging have been newly identified to be involved in diabetic periodontitis. This study aimed to elucidate whether macrophage pyroptosis plays a role in periodontal inflamm-aging by impacting the senescence of fibroblasts, as well as the potential mechanism via NLR family CARD domain-containing protein 4 (NLRC4) phosphorylation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Diabetes was induced in mice using streptozotocin. Periodontal pyroptosis and senescence were detected using immunohistochemical analysis. Prior to evaluating senescence in human gingival fibroblasts cultured with conditioned medium derived from macrophages, RAW 264.7 macrophages were confirmed to undergo pyroptosis by scanning electron microscopy and gasdermin D (GSDMD) detection. The NLRC4-related pathway was examined under hyperglycaemic conditions. RESULTS Our data showed that macrophage pyroptosis induced the expression of senescent markers in vivo and in vitro. Importantly, clearance of pyroptotic macrophages rescued senescence in fibroblasts. Furthermore, GSDMD activation and pyroptosis in hyperglycaemia were found to be mediated by NLRC4 phosphorylation. CONCLUSIONS Hyperglycaemia could initially induce macrophage pyroptosis and lead to cellular senescence, thereby critically contributing to periodontal pathogenesis in diabetes. In particular, NLRC4 phosphorylation could be a potential therapeutic target for the inhibition of this process.

Abstract
Metformin is one of the most widely prescribed hypoglycemic drugs and has the potential to treat many diseases. More and more evidence shows that metformin can regulate the function of macrophages in atherosclerosis, including reducing the differentiation of monocytes and inhibiting the inflammation, oxidative stress, polarization, foam cell formation and apoptosis of macrophages. The mechanisms by which metformin regulates the function of macrophages include AMPK, AMPK independent targets, NF-κB, ABCG5/8, Sirt1, FOXO1/FABP4 and HMGB1. On the basis of summarizing these studies, we further discussed the future research directions of metformin: single-cell RNA sequencing, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), epigenetic modification, and metformin-based combination drugs. In short, macrophages play an important role in a variety of diseases, and improving macrophage dysfunction may be an important mechanism for metformin to expand its pleiotropic pharmacological profile. In addition, the combination of metformin with other drugs that improve the function of macrophages (such as SGLT2 inhibitors, statins and IL-1β inhibitors/monoclonal antibodies) may further enhance the pleiotropic therapeutic potential of metformin in conditions such as atherosclerosis, obesity, cancer, dementia and aging.

Abstract
Diabetes is emerging as a severe global health problem that threatens health and increases socioeconomic burden. Periodontal impairment is one of its well-recognized complications. The destruction of the periodontal defense barrier makes it easier for periodontal pathogens to invade in, triggering a greater inflammatory response, and causing secondary impairment. Macrophages are the major immune cells in periodontium, forming the frontier line of local innate immune barrier. Here, we explored the periodontal impairments and functional changes of macrophages under the diabetic and aging conditions. Besides, we further explored the molecular mechanism of how hyperglycemia and aging contribute to this pathogenesis. To test this, we used young and aged mice to build diabetic mice, and metformin treatment was applied to a group of them. We demonstrated that under hyperglycemia conditions, macrophage functions, such as inflammatory cytokines secretion, phagocytosis, chemotaxis, and immune response, were disturbed. Simultaneously, this condition elevated the local senescent cell burden and induced secretion of senescence-associated secretory phenotype. Meanwhile, we found that expressions of Gasdermin D (GSDMD) and caspase-1 were up-regulated in diabetic conditions, suggesting that the local senescent burden and systemic proinflammatory state during diabetes were accompanied by the initiation of pyroptosis. Furthermore, we found that the changes in aged condition were similar to those in diabetes, suggesting a hyperglycemia-induced pre-aging state. In addition, we show that metformin treatment alleviated and remarkably reversed these functional abnormalities. Our data demonstrated that diabetes initiated macrophage pyroptosis, which further triggered macrophage function impairments and gingival destructions. This pathogenesis could be reversed by metformin.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a disease of ageing or inflammaging, and is comorbid with other more severe age-related chronic diseases. With advanced age comes an increase in accumulation of senescent cells that release soluble and insoluble pro-inflammatory factors collectively termed the senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP). In the present report, we examined whether immune cells typical of those at the oral mucosa-microbe interface, are vulnerable to cellular senescence (CS) and the role of dysbiotic oral pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis. Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs) from young (yDCs) and old (oDCs) mice were co-cultured in vitro with CS inducer doxorubicin or P.gingivalis (Pg), plus or minus senolytic agent rapamycin. CS profiling revealed elevated CS mediators SA-β-Gal, p16 INK4A, p53, and p21Waf1/Clip1 in oDCs, or yDCs in response to doxorubicin or P. gingivalis, reversible with rapamycin. Functional studies indicate impaired maturation function of oDCs, and yDC exposed to P. gingivalis; moreover, OVA-driven proliferation of CD4+ T cells from young OTII transgenic mice was impaired by oDCs or yDCs+Pg. The SASP of DCs, consisting of secreted exosomes and inflammasome-related cytokines was further analyzed. Exosomes of DCs cocultured with P. gingivalis (PgDCexo) were purified, quantitated and characterized. Though typical in terms of size, shape and phenotype, PgDCexo were 2-fold greater in number than control DCs, with several important distinctions. Namely, PgDCexo were enriched in age-related miRNAs, and miRNAs reported to disrupt immune homeostasis through negative regulation of apoptosis and autophagy functions. We further show that PgDCexo were enriched in P. gingivalis fimbrial adhesin protein mfa1 and in inflammasome related cytokines IL-1β, TNFα and IL-6. Functionally PgDCexo were readily endocytosed by recipient yDCs, amplifying functional impairment in maturation and ability to promote Ova-driven proliferation of OTII CD4+ T cells from young mice. In conclusion P. gingivalis induces premature (autocrine) senescence in DCs by direct cellular invasion and greatly amplifies senescence, in paracrine, of bystander DCs by secretion of inflammatory exosomes. The implications of this pathological pathway for periodontal disease in vivo is under investigation in mouse models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Diabetes accelerates inflammaging in various tissue with an increase in senescent cell burden and senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) secretion, which is a significant cause of tissue dysfunction and contributes to the diabetic complications. Recently, inflammasomes are thought to contribute to inflammaging. Here, utilizing diabetic models in vivo and in vitro, we investigated the potential association between hyperglycemia-induced inflammaging and gingival tissue dysfunction and the mechanism underlying inflammasome-associated inflammaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS Gingival epithelium and serum were collected from control and diabetic patients and mice. The expression of p16, p21, and inflammasomes in the gingival epithelium, SASP factors in serum, and the molecular factors associated with gingival epithelial barrier function were assessed. Human oral keratinocyte (HOK) was stimulated with normal and high glucose, and pre-treated with Z-YVAD-FMK (Caspase-1 inhibitor) prior to evaluating cellular senescence, SASP secretion, and inflammasome activation. RESULTS In vivo, hyperglycemia significantly elevated the local burden of senescent cells in the gingival epithelium and SASP factors in the serum and simultaneously reduced the expression levels of Claudin-1, E-cadherin, and Connexin 43 in the gingival epithelium. Interestingly, the inflammasomes were activated in the gingival epithelium. In vitro, high glucose-induced the inflammaging in HOK, and blocking inflammasome activation through inhibiting Caspase-1 and glucose-induced inflammaging. CONCLUSIONS Hyperglycemia accelerated inflammaging in the gingival epithelium through inflammasomes activation, which is potentially affiliated with a decline in the gingival epithelial barrier function in diabetes. Inflammasomes-related inflammaging may be the crucial mechanism underlying diabetic periodontitis and represents significant opportunities for advancing prevention and treatment options.

Abstract
The significant advancement of molecular biology has revolutionized medicine and provided important technologies to further clinical research development. Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) are DNA sequences derived from bacteriophages which have previously infected the bacterial species. The CRISPR-Cas system plays a key role in bacterial defense by detecting and destroying DNA fragments during subsequent bacteriophage invasions. The Cas9 enzyme recognizes and cleaves new invading CRISPR-complementary DNA sequences. Researchers have taken advantage of this biological device to manipulate microbes' genes and develop novel therapeutics to tackle systemic disease. In this review, we discuss the potential of utilizing CRISPR-Cas systems in the periodontal field to develop personalized periodontal care. We summarize promising attempts to bring this technology to the clinical setting. Finally, we provide insights regarding future developments to best utilize the CRISPR-Cas systems to advance precision periodontics. Although further research is imperative to evaluate the safety and potential of using CRISPR-Cas to develop precision periodontics approaches, few studies showed promising data to support the investment into this important technology in the dental sector. CRISPR-Cas9 can be a useful tool to create knockouts in vitro and in vivo as a screening tool to identify cellular pathways involved in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Alternative CRISPR systems such as CRISPRa, CRISPRi, and Cas13 can be used to modify the transcriptome and gene expression of genes involved in periodontitis progression. CRISPR systems such as Cas3 can be used to target the periodontal biofilm and to develop new strategies to reduce or eliminate periodontal pathogens. Currently, the utility of CRISPR-Cas applications in clinical settings is limited. Through this review, we hope to foster further discussion in the periodontal research and clinical communities with respect to the potential clinical application of novel, CRISPR-Cas based, therapeutics for periodontitis.
