de Mello-Neto JM, Nunes JGR, Tadakamadla SK, da Silva Figueredo CM. Immunological Traits of Patients with Coexistent Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Periodontal Disease: A Systematic Review. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18178958. [PMID: 34501547 PMCID: PMC8430503 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18178958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2021] [Revised: 08/21/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
This systematic review assessed studies that evaluated the immunological traits of patients with both inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and periodontal disease. An electronic search for literature was conducted on PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane and Web of Science. Studies that evaluated the immunological response in patients with IBD and periodontal disease were considered eligible for inclusion. A total of 6 cross-sectional studies of 275 patients were included. Immunological analyses were performed in gingival crevicular fluid, saliva, serum, intestinal and gingival biopsies. Four studies identified that the presence of IBD and periodontal disease was associated with higher levels of prostaglandin E2, aMMP8, IL-18 and S100A12, respectively, when compared to patients without the coexistence of both diseases. Furthermore, another study identified higher aMMP-8 levels with increasing severity of periodontitis in Crohn’s disease patients. The quality of overall evidence ranged from high to low due to the observational nature of contributing studies. The coexistence of IBD and periodontal disease seems to be associated with a more responsive inflammatory reaction compared with individuals having one or the other. More randomized controlled studies evaluating the coexistence of IBD and periodontitis are required to better explore the immunological interplay between them.

Abstract
Purpose Measurement of the root surface area (RSA) is important in periodontal treatment and for the evaluation of periodontal disease as a risk factor for systemic disease. The aim of this study was to measure the RSA at 6 mm below the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) using the Mimics software (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). Methods We obtained cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data from 33 patients who had visited the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology of Dankook University Dental Hospital. The patients comprised 17 men and 16 women aged from 20 to 35 years, with a mean age of 24.4 years. Only morphologically intact teeth were included in our data. Because the third molars of the maxilla and mandible have a high deformation rate and were absent in some participants, they were not included in our research material. Results The CBCT data were reconstructed into 3-dimensional (3D) teeth models using the Mimics software, and the RSA at 6 mm below the CEJ was separated and measured using 3-Matic (Materialise). In total, 924 3D teeth models were created, and the area at 6 mm below the CEJ could be isolated in all the models. The area at 6 mm below the CEJ was measured in all teeth from the 33 patients and compared based on sex and position (maxilla vs. mandible). Conclusions In this study, we demonstrated that it was feasible to generate 3D data and to evaluate RSA values using CBCT and the Mimics software. These results provide deeper insights into the relationship between periodontal inflammatory burden and systemic diseases.

Abstract
Regenerative therapies of pathogenic tissue defects are gaining increasing importance in periodontology. Among others, the osteogenic effect of BMP-7 seems to play a major role in the development of teeth and alveolar bone. Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSC), as well as human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC), show the ability to differentiate into various types of tissues. Regarding prostaglandin E2, many studies have confirmed that it is involved in the inflammation associated to periodontitis stimulating osteoclasts, which ultimately leads to resorption of tooth supporting bone. Herein, we aimed to investigate how PGE2 influences regenerative processes. The influence of PGE2 and BMP-7 on the osteogenic differentiation of hMSC and hPDLSC was determined in a 3D cell culture model using qRT-PCR, immunocytochemistry and REM. BMP-7 enhanced the expression of osteogenic markers in hMSC and lowered it in hPDLSC-TERT. BMP-7 had a lower osteogenic effect on hPDLSC-hTERT than on hMSC, while PGE2 decreases the osteogenic differentiation in both cell types, thus, inhibiting anabolic processes. Both cell types presented good proliferation and adhesion onto the scaffolds. The well-developed structural morphology and the support of osteogenic differentiation suggest that the scaffolds are potential candidate materials for bone regeneration. The positivity for Cap in hPDLSC and more in hMSC immunostaining samples indicates the initiation of neocementogenesis as part of periodontal regeneration. In conclusion, BMP7, in particular combined with MSC, seems to have a favourable application also in periodontal regeneration. Our results show that inflammation plays an important role in periodontal regeneration. PGE2 is a key mediator, which stimulates bone resorption also via a mechanism involving the inhibition of osteogenic differentiation of MSC as well as PDLSC. Therefore, regenerative approaches should always be conducted in combination with anti-inflammatory measures oriented to control inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Initial research has shown a positive correlation between the severity of periodontal disease (PD) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) concentrations in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). However, there are no enough reports to correlate the PGE2 concentrations in GCF in periodontal health, disease and after treatment. Hence, the present study is aimed to estimate the levels of PGE2 in GCF in periodontal health, disease and after periodontal therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A periodontal examination and collection of GCF by extracrevicular method was performed in 25 subjects selected randomly and categorized into three groups on the basis of plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level. Group I (healthy) consists of 10 subjects, Group II (chronic periodontitis) consists of 15 patients and Group III (after treatment group) consists of 15 patients of Group II. PGE2 levels were estimated in GCF samples by using the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS All clinical parameters improved significantly after therapy (P < 0.001). PGE2 was detected in all the samples. Highest mean PGE2 concentrations in GCF were obtained for Group II while the lowest concentrations were seen in Group I and Group III. Statistically significant difference was found between the levels of PGE2 at Group-II and Group-III (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION There is a substantial increase in the concentrations of PGE2 as PD progresses. Since PGE2 levels in GCF are positively correlated with gingival index, plaque index, probing pocket depths and clinical attachment levels, PGE2 may be considered as a Novel Biomarker in PD progression. However, controlled, longitudinal studies are needed to confirm this possibility.

Lipids Health Dis 2011; 10:241. [PMID: 22188761 PMCID: PMC3314585 DOI: 10.1186/1476-511x-10-241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 49] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2011] [Accepted: 12/22/2011] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The importance of arachidonic acid (ARA) among the elderly has recently gained increased attention. The effects of ARA supplementation in the elderly are not fully understood, although ARA is considered to be associated with various diseases. We investigate whether ARA supplementation to Japanese elderly subjects affects clinical parameters involved in cardiovascular, inflammatory, and allergic diseases. We also examine the levels of ARA metabolites such as prostanoids during intervention. Methods We conducted a randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled parallel group intervention trial. ARA-enriched oil (240 or 720 mg ARA per day) or placebo was administered to Japanese healthy men and women aged 55-70 years for 4 weeks followed by a 4-week washout period. The fatty acid contents of plasma phospholipids, clinical parameters, and ARA metabolites were determined at baseline, 2, 4, and 8 weeks. Results The ARA content in plasma phospholipids in the ARA-administrated groups increased dose-dependently and was almost the same at 2 weeks and at 4 weeks. The elevated ARA content decreased to nearly baseline during a 4-week washout period. During the supplementation and washout periods, no changes were observed in eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid contents. There were no changes in clinical blood parameters related to cardiovascular, inflammatory and allergic diseases. ARA supplementation did not alter the level of ARA metabolites such as urinary 11-dehydro thromboxane B2, 2,3-dinor-6-keto prostaglandin (PG) F1α and 9,15-dioxo-11α-hydroxy-13,14-dihydro-2,3,4,5-tetranor-prostan-1,20-dioic acid (tetranor-PGEM), and plasma PGE2 and lipoxin A4. ARA in plasma phospholipids was not correlated with ARA metabolite levels in the blood or urine. Conclusion These results indicate that ARA supplementation, even at a relatively high dose, does not increase ARA metabolites, and suggest that it does not induce cardiovascular, inflammatory or allergic diseases in Japanese elderly individuals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze the anti-inflammatory effects of Lactobacillus brevis extracts on periodontitis patients and to investigate the involved mechanisms in vitro on activated macrophages. METHODS Eight healthy subjects and 21 patients with chronic periodontitis were enrolled to analyze the effect of L. brevis-containing lozenges on periodontitis-associated symptoms and signs. Before and after the treatment, the patients received a complete periodontal examination. Saliva samples, collected before and after treatment, were analyzed for metalloproteinase and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity, immunoglobulin-A (IgA), prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) and gamma-interferon (IFN-gamma) levels. Arginine deiminase (AD) and NOS activities were determined through a radiometric assay. Metalloproteinases were assayed by zymogram and Western blotting, whereas IgA, PGE(2) and IFN-gamma were assayed by enzyme-linked imunosorbent assay tests. RESULTS The treatment led to the total disappearance or amelioration of all analyzed clinical parameters in all patients. This was paralleled to a significant decrease of nitrite/nitrate, PGE(2), matrix metalloproteinase, and IFN-gamma levels in saliva samples. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the anti-inflammatory effects of L. brevis could be attributed to the presence of AD which prevented nitric oxide generation. Our findings give further insights into the knowledge of the molecular basis of periodontitis and have a potential clinical significance, giving the experimental ground for a new innovative, simple and efficacious therapeutical approach of periodontal disease.

Abstract
The study aim was to determine whether prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) could serve as a risk factor for periodontitis in human immunodeficiency virus-positive (HIV(+)) patients. Clinical measurements, including gingival index (GI), plaque index, bleeding index, probing depth (PD), attachment loss (AL) and GCF samples were taken from two healthy sites (including sites with gingival recession, GI=0; PD< or =3 mm; AL< or =2 mm), three gingivitis sites (GI>0; PD< or =3 mm; AL=0) and three periodontitis sites (GI>0; PD> or =5 mm; AL> or =3 mm) of each of the 30 patients at baseline and 6-month visits. GCF samples were also taken by means of paper strips. GCF PGE(2) levels were determined by a sandwich ELISA. The progressing site was defined as a site which had 2 mm or more attachment loss during the 6-month study period. The mean amounts of PGE(2) were significantly higher in gingivitis and periodontitis sites than in healthy sites (p<0.0001). GCF levels of PGE(2) were significantly correlated with probing depth, attachment loss, CD4(+) cells, viral load, age and smoking pack-years at baseline and 6-month visits (0.0001<p<0.05). Repeated measures analysis of 19 active sites versus 221 inactive sites indicated that PGE(2) levels were significantly higher in active sites than in inactive sites (p<0.0001). It is likely that the compromised immune system contributes to the pathogenesis of periodontitis in HIV(+) patients. It is well known that the activated inflammatory cells produce inflammatory mediators which stimulate the production of PGE(2). Longitudinal evaluation of GCF PGE(2) with respect to the progression of untreated periodontitis sites in HIV(+) subjects will contribute to the understanding of the pathogenesis of periodontitis in HIV(+) patients. These data indicate that sites with high GCF levels of PGE(2) in HIV(+) patients are at significantly greater risk for progression of periodontitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study aimed to analyse the effects of experimental gingivitis on crevicular prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)). An increase of PGE(2) was expected. METHODS Fourteen medical students refrained for 28 days from any oral hygiene procedures in two antagonistic quadrants while they maintained close to perfect oral hygiene in the remaining quadrants. Crevicular fluid samples were taken at baseline and at days 7, 14, 21 and 28 of experimental gingivitis both from quadrants with and without oral hygiene. PGE(2)-concentrations (ng/ml) and absolute levels (pg/sample) were analysed for quadrants with and without oral hygiene. RESULTS Comparison of quadrants with and without oral hygiene by repeated measures anova revealed no effects of experimental gingivitis both on crevicular PGE(2)-concentrations and absolute levels. CONCLUSION The study does not support the notion that experimental gingivitis induces an increase of crevicular PGE(2). The data are discussed in the context of other studies on PGE(2) concentrations in gingivitis. Close inspection of these studies reveals no clear evidence for an increase of local PGE(2) in gingivitis.

Abstract
A computer-assisted medline search was conducted to find the relevant articles concerning the periodontal disease markers in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva published during the 10-year period from 1993 to July 2003. This review suggests that certain diagnostic uses of saliva and GCF show promise. Although both fluids have been used to evaluate the risk for an individual to develop periodontal disease and to monitor of the host response to periodontal therapy, GCF has the chance of being closely approximated to the periodontal tissues where periodontal disease begins. The enzymes contributed to extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules and non-ECM molecules degradation and markers for polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) activity and influx into the gingival tissue seem to provide valuable information regarding the periodontal disease diagnosis and prognosis. There is also an increasing evidence implicating reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide pathway in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases. Although promising results have been achieved with the assays evaluating the markers in assessment of periodontal disease status, up to now, none of these tests are used routinely. Further, one commercially available genetic test has been reported to have the potential to be used to predict the periodontal disease, but there are controversial reports on this genetic susceptibility test.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Threatened premature labor (TPL) often results in preterm birth (PB). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the associations of periodontal and general health conditions with TPL and PB in relation to serum cytokine levels and the composition of subgingival plaque. METHODS Eighty-eight women were enrolled in the study. Systemic conditions were assessed, and subgingival plaque samples obtained for bacterial analysis. Periodontal examinations included assessments of plaque, gingivitis, clinical attachment level, probing depth, and bleeding on probing. Serum cytokine levels also were analyzed. Gestational age at delivery was recorded, and the mothers were divided into a TPL or non-TPL group, and into a non-TPL-TB (term birth), non-TPL-PB, TPL-TB, or TPL-PB group, accordingly. RESULTS Forty subjects were classified as TPL and 18 as TPL-PB. There were significant differences between the TPL and non-TPL subjects in several of the systemic and periodontal parameters and serum cytokine levels. Significant differences were observed between the TPL-TB and TPL-PB groups in the percentage of Tannerella forsythensis (Tf, formerly Bacteroides forsythus), and the serum interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-1beta levels. Significant negative correlations between the gestational age at delivery and several periodontal parameters and serum IL-8 and IL-1beta levels, and significant positive correlations between periodontal status and serum IL-8 and IL-1beta levels, were observed. CONCLUSIONS The TPL women revealed worsened periodontal conditions and elevated serum IL-8 and IL-1beta levels compared to the non-TPL women. The elevated levels of serum IL-8 and IL-1beta could have affected the maintenance of the proper uterine-fetus relationship, resulting in premature uterine contractions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The increase in circulating levels of progesterone during pregnancy stimulates production of prostaglandins, especially prostaglandin E2, possibly resulting in pregnancy gingivitis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of prostaglandin E2 concentrations on gingival tissues in pregnancy and to assess its relationship to clinical parameters. METHODS This study evaluates the effects of periodontal treatment on clinical indices including plaque index, gingival index, probing depth, and gingival crevicular fluid prostaglandin E2 levels of 22 pregnant women in their first, second, and third trimesters. Initial periodontal therapy consisting of scaling, root planing, and oral hygiene instruction was performed at the beginning of the first trimester and repeated each trimester. Prostaglandin E2 concentrations in gingival crevicular fluid were determined using a commercially available enzyme immunoassay kit. The statistical tests used were paired sample test and correlation analysis. RESULTS The results of the study show that periodontal therapy has resulted in an improvement in clinical parameters (P<0.05). There is also a statistically significant decrease in levels of prostaglandin E2 at the second and third trimesters following periodontal therapy (P <0.001). The correlation between prostaglandin E2 concentrations and clinical parameters is found to be non-significant (P >0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate that levels of prostaglandin E2 in gingival crevicular fluid may be used as a marker of gingival inflammation in order to determine the effects of periodontal therapy in pregnancy. Periodontal therapy that is performed throughout the entire pregnancy period may help prevent the threat of pregnancy gingivitis.

Abstract
Prostaglandins, especially prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. We have previously reported that inflammatory mediators interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) increase the production of PGE2 in human gingival fibroblasts. In this study, we investigated the effect of cell-to-cell interactions between gingival fibroblasts and lymphocytes on PGE2 production by using co-culture technique. Cell-to-cell contact between gingival fibroblasts and lymphocytes synergistically enhanced the production of PGE2 in co-cultures. In contrast to lymphocytes, the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) mRNA expression in gingival fibroblasts was strongly enhanced following cell contact between gingival fibroblasts and lymphocytes. The level of COX-1 mRNA expression, however, was not affected either in gingival fibroblasts or in lymphocytes by the interactions between fibroblasts and lymphocytes. The study demonstrates that cell contact between gingival fibroblasts and lymphocytes strongly stimulates PGE2 production partly due to enhanced COX-2 mRNA expression in gingival fibroblasts. The cell-to-cell contact between gingival fibroblasts and lymphocytes should be considered as an important regulatory aspect for the enhancement of PGE2 in periodontal disease.
