Metformin Improves Burn Wound Healing by Modulating Microenvironmental Fibroblasts and Macrophages. Cells 2022; 11:cells11244094. [PMID: 36552856 PMCID: PMC9777269 DOI: 10.3390/cells11244094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2022] [Revised: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Metformin, a biguanide, exerts different functions through various signaling pathways. In order to investigate the function and mechanism of metformin in burn wounds, we established burn rat models, subcutaneously injected metformin to treat the wounds, and observed the morphologies and the expression of collagen I, collagen III, fibronectin, and pro-inflammatory markers. In vitro experiments were performed to investigate the effects of metformin on the proliferation, migration, and collagen I synthesis of the mouse embryonic fibroblast (NIH 3T3) cell line and on the proliferation, apoptosis, and immune response of the mouse mononuclear macrophage (RAW 264.7) cell line. Finally, we studied the regulatory effects of metformin on a co-culture of RAW 264.7/NIH 3T3 cells. We found that 100 mM of metformin reduced dermal thickness, collagen I deposition, and mRNA expression of IL1β and CCL2 in rat burn wounds. In vitro experiments revealed that metformin inhibited the proliferation of NIH 3T3 and RAW 264.7 cells. Metformin attenuated NIH 3T3 cell migration via the AMPK/mTOR pathway and attenuated collagen I synthesis through the TGFβ1/Smad3 pathway. Metformin inhibited the apoptosis of RAW 264.7 cells induced by 10 μg/mL LPS. Metformin downregulated the mRNA expression of IL1β and CCL2 in RAW 264.7 cells under 1 μg/mL LPS induction by inhibiting NF-κB p65 phosphorylation. In a RAW 264.7/NIH 3T3 co-culture, metformin attenuated collagen I synthesis in NIH 3T3 cells by inhibiting RAW 264.7 paracrine secretion of TGF-β1. This provides new evidence related to the development of metformin for potentially improving burn wound healing.

Lu X, Liu J, Wei T, Zhou X. Elevated salivary activity of mast cell chymase of periodontitis patients, and a new bradykinin generation cascade, mediating the cross-talks between mast cell and gingival fibroblast. Int Immunopharmacol 2021; 101:108269. [PMID: 34688137 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2021.108269] [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: 06/29/2021] [Revised: 09/25/2021] [Accepted: 10/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Activated-mast cells (MCs) within gingival-tissue of chronic-periodontitis (CP) patients, release various inflammatory-factors. Bradykinin is a nine-amino-acid peptide and pro-inflammatory mediator, produced through factor-XII-cascade or tryptase-cascade. The ability of MC-chymase in bradykinin generation has not been discussed yet. This study investigated the salivary levels of MC-chymase, high molecular weight kininogen (HMWK) and bradykinin of CP patients; examined the potential of MC-proteases in bradykinin production using biochemistry-models; and explored the effects of bradykinin on gingival fibroblasts (GFs). Saliva-samples were collected; MC-protease activities were detected; HMWK cleavage was assessed by western-blot and SDS-PAGE; bradykinin levels were measured using immunoassay. Primary GFs were extracted and cultured with or without bradykinin; cell-viability, gelatine-zymography and flow-cytometry were applied. Immunocytochemistry and western-blot were used to detect intracellular protein expressions of bradykinin-stimulated GFs. The data showed that the salivary-levels of MC-proteases, bradykinin, HMWK, and lactoferrin of CP-patients were increased. HMWK was cleaved by MC-chymase in-vitro, resulting in bradykinin generation. Bradykinin promoted cell proliferation, cell cycle and matrix-metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2) activity, and increased intracellular expressions of nuclear-factor-kappa-B(NF-κB), focal-adhesion-kinase(FAK), transforming-growth-factor-β(TGF-β), P38, P53 of GFs. MC-chymase promotes bradykinin production to stimulate GFs and to continue inflammation during CP development. A new BK-generation cascade found in this study provides a new basis for the pathogenesis of CP and the mechanism of continuous inflammation. The activation of MC-chymase/bradykinin-generation cascade depends on HMWK level and MC-chymase activity under inflammatory condition. MC-chymase contributes to bradykinin production, mediating the cross-talks between MCs and GFs. MC-chymase can be used as a therapeutic target and a salivary biomarker in this case.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disease, the course and progression of which are determined by the interaction between microorganisms and the host. Interleukin 1β plays an important role in the destruction of periodontal tissues. Interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) can inhibit the biological activity of IL-1β without triggering any intracellular signaling. This study aimed to prepare IL-1ra-loaded dextran/PLGA microspheres and evaluate the physical and chemical characteristics and anti-inflammatory properties. Results suggested that the microspheres can be easily prepared into a drug carrier with good biocompatibility and can effectively inhibit the gene expression of pro-inflammatory factors induced by IL-1β in human gingival fibroblasts. Hence, the microspheres are excellent candidate for periodontitis treatment.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of 940-nm diode laser irradiation on proinflammatory cytokine secretions [interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8] by human gingival fibroblasts in vitro. Background: Photobiomodulation has been routinely used in many dental procedures; however, the exact biological action mechanism of photobiomodulation and its therapeutic benefits have not been established. Methods: Cells derived from systemically healthy individuals were treated with three different laser parameters-6 J for 20 sec [0.84 J/cm2 (0.04 W/cm2)], 10 J for 20 sec [1.4 J/cm2 (0.07 W/cm2)], and 14 J for 20 sec [1.97 J/cm2 (0.09 W/cm2)]-in the presence and absence of 1 μg/mL lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Laser irradiations were carried out by a 940-nm diode laser device in continuous pain therapy mode with a deep tissue handpiece. Changes in cell viability, cytokine secretions, and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway expressions were investigated, and results were compared with negative (medium) and positive control (1 μg/mL LPS) groups. The data obtained were statistically analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test for pairwise comparisons among groups at the 0.05 level of significance. Results: Laser therapy with 0.84-1.4 J/cm2 amplified IL-6 and IL-8 secretions, whereas 1.97 J/cm2 suppressed IL-6 and IL-8 release in LPS-stimulated cells. Cell viability did not show a variation with photobiomodulation. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that photobiomodulation can alter IL-6 and IL-8 release, with cytokine suppression potency at a relatively high dose, as demonstrated previously. However, in contrast, we found that a low level of stimulation (6 J) in the presence of inflammation (LPS stimulation) may further enhance IL-6 and IL-8 release. We also found that p38 and ERK1/2 pathways are activated by LPS as well as by photobiomodulation.

Abstract
Periodontitis progresses due to increased levels of active metalloproteinases (MMPs) and the imbalance between MMPs and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs). Natural curcumin limits the lytic activity of MMPs but has low cellular uptake. Use of synthetic curcumin analogs could be a means of overcoming this limitation of treatment efficiency. Human periodontal stem cells were isolated from gingival tissue, gingival ligament fibers, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. The effect of five synthetic curcumin analogs was compared with that of natural curcumin by assessing cytotoxicity [by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay], the cellular uptake (by fluorometry), the proteolytic activities of MMP-2 and -9 (by zymography), and the levels of TIMP-1 (by ELISA). Our results indicated increased cytotoxicity of synthetic curcumins for doses between 100 and 250 μM. At a concentration of 10 μM, cellular uptake of synthetic curcumins varied depending on their chemical structure. The curcumin compounds modulated pro-MMP-2 levels and increased TIMP-1 production. There was no detectable synthesis of pro-MMP-9 and no activation of MMPs 2 and 9. Gingival tissue and gingival ligament fiber stem cells were most responsive to treatment, showing inverse correlations between pro-MMP-2 and TIMP-1 levels. In conclusion, synthetic curcumins influenced the balance between pro-MMP-2 and TIMP-1 in human periodontal stem cells in vitro, and this could open perspectives for their application as adjuvants in periodontal therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Gingival fibroblasts (GFs) produce pro-inflammatory cytokines in response to stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Porphyromonas gingivalis, which is thought to be mediated by activation of toll-like receptors (TLR)2 and TLR4. The present study investigated the expression of interleukin (IL)-6, TLR2, and TLR4 in GFs of seven different donors upon stimulation with P. gingivalis LPS. The effects of P. gingivalis LPS were compared with those of TLR4 agonist Escherichia coli LPS and TLR2 agonist Pam3CSK4. MATERIALS AND METHODS GFs were stimulated with P. gingivalis LPS, E. coli LPS or Pam3CSK4 and the expression of IL-6, TLR2 and TLR4 was measured by qPCR. The surface expression of TLR2 and TLR4 was measured by flow cytometry. RESULTS In GFs from three donors, P. gingivalis LPS and Pam3CSK4 induced a markedly lower increase in IL-6 expression than E. coli LPS. This was accompanied by significant down-regulation of the TLR2 and TLR4 expression. In GFs from another four donors, an increase in IL-6 expression upon stimulation with P. gingivalis LPS and Pam3CSK4 was similar or even higher than that induced by E. coli LPS. In GFs of these donors, all stimuli induced an up-regulation of both mRNA and protein expression of TLR2 and did not influence that of TLR4. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that P. gingivalis LPS and E. coli LPS differently regulate cytokine production in human gingival fibroblasts. Regulation of the expression level of TLR2 and TLR4 by periodontal pathogens might be an important factor controlling the inflammatory response in GFs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Gingival fibroblasts (GFs) are an important regulatory cell type in the progression of periodontitis. This study aimed to compare the expression levels of genes associated with inflammation, extracellular matrix degradation and bone destruction in GFs isolated from healthy and periodontitis subjects in the absence and presence of Porphyromonas gingivalis. DESIGNS Primary GFs from healthy (n=10) and periodontitis subjects (n=10) were stimulated in vitro with viable P. gingivalis ATCC 49417 and 3 clinical isolates of P. gingivalis with type II fimbriae from one healthy subject (KUMC-H1) and two periodontitis patients (KUMC-P1, -P2). The mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-1B), anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, IL-10), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and 2, tissue inhibitor matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP)-3 and osteoprotegerin (OPG) were assessed using real-time PCR. The levels of IL-6, IL-1β and TIMP-3 protein were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS The mRNA expression of IL-6, IL-1B and TIMP-3 was higher in the periodontitis group compared with the healthy group, whereas IL-4 expression was higher in the healthy group both in the absence and presence of the P. gingivalis strains. The expression levels of IL-6, IL-1β and TIMP-3 protein were also higher in the periodontitis group in the absence and/or presence of the P. gingivalis strains. There was inter-strain variability among P. gingivalis strains in the ability to induce expression of the proinflammatory cytokines, MMPs and OPG and in the ability to degrade IL-6 protein. CONCLUSION High expression of proinflammatory cytokines and TIMP-3 and low expression of IL-4 can be a signature of GFs associated with periodontitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To assess inflammatory reactions of fibroblasts in the pathophysiology of peri-implantitis, we compared the pro-inflammatory and matrix-degrading responses of gingival and granulation tissue fibroblasts from periodontally healthy controls, peri-implantitis, and periodontitis lesions to an in vitro challenge with Porphyromonas gingivalis. METHODS Fibroblasts from periodontally healthy, peri-implantitis and periodontitis donors were challenged with viable P. gingivalis. The inflammatory reactions of fibroblasts were analyzed before and after 6 h P. gingivalis challenge, and 2.5 and 18 h after removal of the challenge. Gene expression and induction of pro-inflammatory mediators, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) were assessed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Protein expression was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Non-challenged fibroblasts from peri-implantitis and periodontitis lesions expressed higher levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-8, and monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 than fibroblasts from periodontally healthy individuals. The P. gingivalis challenge induced expression of IL-1β, IL-8, IL-6, MCP-1, and MMP-1 in periodontitis and peri-implantitis fibroblasts, but not in fibroblasts from periodontally healthy individuals. MMP-8 expression was higher in non-challenged peri-implantitis fibroblasts than in fibroblasts from periodontally healthy individuals. However, the P. gingivalis challenge downregulated MMP-8 gene expression in peri-implantitis fibroblasts. After removal of the P. gingivalis challenge, peri-implantitis fibroblasts sustained higher induction of IL-1β, MCP-1, and MMP-1 compared to periodontitis fibroblasts. CONCLUSIONS Fibroblasts from peri-implantitis and periodontitis lesions gave a more pronounced inflammatory response to the P. gingivalis challenge than fibroblasts from healthy donors. They may therefore be involved in the development of inflammation in peri-implantitis and periodontitis. Moreover, the sustained upregulation of inflammatory mediators and MMP-1 in peri-implantitis fibroblasts may play a role in the pathogenesis of peri-implantitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The migration of monocytes into the local environment is crucial for their maturation into macrophages or osteoclasts in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. The objective of this study was to investigate the role and mechanisms mediated by Porphyromonas gingivalis in promoting the migration of monocytes by regulating MMP-9 and TIMP-1 expression. MATERIAL AND METHODS Human THP1 monocytes were treated with culture supernatant derived from P. gingivalis (ATCC 33277) for 24 h. Zymography, western blot analysis and quantitative PCRs were performed to analyse protein and mRNA levels of MMP-9. Protein and mRNA levels of TIMP-1 from monocytes treated with or without P. gingivalis were determined as well. Transwell migration assay was carried out to analyse the effect of P. gingivalis on the migration of human peripheral blood CD14-positive monocytes. An MMP inhibitor (GM6001) and a proteinase inhibitor (leupeptin) were used to determine the role of MMP-9 in P. gingivalis supernatant- and lipopolysaccharide-induced monocyte migration. RESULTS In zymography and western blot, an 82 kDa band of active MMP-9 emerged in P. gingivalis-treated monocyte culture media in a dose-dependent manner, in addition to the MMP-9 proenzyme (92 kDa) band expressed in control cell culture media. P. gingivalis supernatant increased both the protein and the mRNA levels of MMP-9 and TIMP-1. P. gingivalis supernatant, but not its lipopolysaccharide, increased the migratory ability of CD14-positive monocytes. The increased migratory ability of P. gingivalis-treated monocytes was partly inhibited by leupeptin (200 μg/mL) and completely antagonized by the MMP inhibitor GM6001 (100 nm). Lipopolysaccharide of P. gingivalis increased protein and mRNA levels of MMP-9 in monocytes, but had no effect on the migratory ability or MMP-9 activation. CONCLUSION P. gingivalis supernatant increased the migratory ability of monocytes, in part, by increasing activation and expression of MMP-9.

Some elastic fibers were localized at invagination on the surface of the narrow processes of fibroblasts distributed among dense assemblies of collagen fibrils, and also within coated pits, which were pinching off as coated vesicles. At a higher magnification, the coated vesicles contained filamentous structures, as well as pentagonal structures similar those previously reported in elastic fibers. Immunoelectron microscopy demonstrated positive staining for fibrillin, one of the main components of microfibril, localized either in the coated pits or vesicles. These observations indicate that at least some elastic fibers were resorbed by fibroblasts, and that, in spite of the general belief that little remodeling of elastic fibers occurs under normal conditions, resorption of elastic fibers does occur in monkey gingival connective tissue. The functional significance of this is not yet clear, but it may be involved in facilitating the delicate and efficient adaptation of tissue to physical requirements during mastication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is evident that diabetes and periodontal disease are closely interrelated. Accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), coupled with exaggerated host responses to bacterial infection, may account for the increased periodontal destruction observed in patients with uncontrolled diabetes. The present study investigated the effects of AGEs on the viability of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and the expression of types I and III collagen in HGFs. METHODS The cell viability of HGFs was examined by methylthiazolet-etrazolium assay, whereas the expression of types I and III collagen message and protein was detected by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. RESULTS AGEs significantly suppressed the cell viability of HGFs from 24 to 72 hours (P <0.01). A high concentration of glucose (25 mmol/l) in the culture media exaggerated the inhibition of the survival rate of HGFs (P <0.01). The expression of collagen types I and III messages and proteins was significantly downregulated at 72 hours by AGEs in a concentration-dependent manner (P <0.05). Moreover, the synthesis of intracellular types I and III collagen protein was markedly inhibited by AGEs (P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS AGEs may suppress the cell viability of HGFs and downregulate the expression of types I and III collagen by the cells. Further investigations are warranted to clarify the molecular mechanisms of AGEs in the regulation of cell function and collagen metabolism in patients with diabetes and periodontitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Porphyromonas gingivalis is an oral pathogen strongly associated with destruction of the tooth-supporting tissues in human periodontitis. Gingival fibroblasts (GF) and periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLF) are functionally different cell types in the periodontium that can participate in the host immune response in periodontitis. This study aimed to investigate the effects of viable P. gingivalis on the expression of genes associated with inflammation and bone degradation by these fibroblast subsets. MATERIAL AND METHODS Primary human GF and PDLF from six healthy donors were challenged in vitro with viable P. gingivalis W83 for 6 h. Gene expression of inflammatory cytokines in GF and PDLF was analyzed using real-time PCR, and protein expression was analyzed using ELISA. RESULTS Viable P. gingivalis induced a strong in vitro inflammatory response in both GF and PDLF. We found increased gene expression of interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 and regulated upon activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES). Macrophage colony-stimulating factor was induced and the expression of osteoprotegerin was decreased in GF, but not in PDLF. In nonchallenged cells, a higher level of expression of IL-6 was observed in GF than in PDLF. Between individual donors there was large heterogeneity in responsiveness to P. gingivalis. Also, in each individual, either GF or PDLF was more responsive to P. gingivalis. CONCLUSION Considerable heterogeneity in responsiveness to P. gingivalis exists both between GF and PDLF and between individuals, which may be crucial determinants for the susceptibility to develop periodontitis.

Abstract
AIMS Our objective was to evaluate the association between the MMP1-1607 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), periodontopathogens and inflammatory cytokines with matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) mRNA levels in vitro and in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study investigated the influence of genetic (MMP1-1607 SNP), microbial (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, Tannerella forsythia, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans) and inflammatory [tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)] factors on the determination of MMP-1 mRNA levels in periodontal tissues of non-smoker chronic periodontitis (CP, N=178) and control (C, N=190) groups. The effects of single and repeated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and inflammatory cytokine stimulation of macrophages with distinct MMP1-1607 SNP genotypes were also investigated. RESULTS In healthy tissues, the MMP1-1607 2G allele was associated with higher MMP-1 levels while in CP MMP-1 levels were associated with the presence and load of periodontopathogens, and also with TNF-alpha and IL-1beta expression irrespective of the MMP1-1607 genotype. In vitro data demonstrate that in 2G macrophages low- and intermediate-dose LPS and TNF-alpha+IL-1beta stimulation was associated with increased MMP-1 expression, while strong and repeated stimulation resulted in higher MMP-1 levels irrespective of the MMP1-1607 genotype. CONCLUSION Our data demonstrate a limited role for MMP1-1607 SNP in periodontitis, where the extensive chronic antigenic challenge exposure overcomes the genetic control and plays a major role in the determination of MMP-1 expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Local persistent infection by Porphyromonas gingivalis leads to inflammatory systemic diseases, such as atherosclerosis. We have reported previously that avirulent P. gingivalis fimbriae-dependent invasion into endothelial cells might be involved in progression of atherosclerosis. Although interleukin-6 (IL-6) regulates progression of atherosclerosis, little is known about the relationship of P. gingivalis fimbriae-dependent invasion to IL-6 regulation in endothelial cells. MATERIAL AND METHODS We examined the secretion of IL-6 and the expression of the IL-6 signal transducer gp130 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) infected with the wild-type FDC381 strain of P. gingivalisand a fimbriae-deficient mutant (fimA) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and flow cytometry (fluorescence-activated cell sorting, FACS) analysis. RESULTS Coculture of HUVEC with P. gingivalis resulted in increase of IL-6 secretion at 24 h postinfection. Interestingly, the increase was inhibited significantly in HUVEC infected with the P. gingivalis fimA mutant. In addition, the increase of IL-6 secretion induced by P. gingivalis infection was significantly impaired by the meiosis specific kinase 1 inhibitor, PD98059, or the nuclear factor kappaB inhibitor, Bay11-7082. Furthermore, we demonstrated that gp130 expression increased with P. gingivalis infection. Importantly, gp130 expression was significantly impaired by P gingivalis fimA mutant infection compared with wild-type P. gingivalis infection, as assessed by both quantitative RT-PCR and FACS analysis. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that P. gingivalis fimbriae are important factors in the autocrine regulation of IL-6, by increasing gp130 in endothelial cells.
