Miguel MMV, Shaddox LM. Grade C Molar-Incisor Pattern Periodontitis in Young Adults: What Have We Learned So Far? Pathogens 2024; 13:580.

Abstract
Grade C molar-incisor pattern periodontitis (C-MIP) is a disease that affects specific teeth with an early onset and aggressive progression. It occurs in systemically healthy patients, mostly African descendants, at an early age, with familial involvement, minimal biofilm accumulation, and minor inflammation. Severe and rapidly progressive bone loss is observed around the first molars and incisors. This clinical condition has been usually diagnosed in children and young adults with permanent dentition under 30 years of age. However, this disease can also affect the primary dentition, which is not as frequently discussed in the literature. Radiographic records have shown that most patients diagnosed in the permanent dentition already presented disease signs in the primary dentition. A hyperresponsive immunological profile is observed in local (gingival crevicular fluid-GCF) and systemic environments. Siblings have also displayed a heightened inflammatory profile even without clinical signs of disease. A. actinomycetemcomitans has been classified as a key pathogen in C-MIP in both dentitions. Scaling and root planning associated with systemic antibiotics is the current gold standard to treat C-MIP, leading to GCF biomarker reduction, some systemic inflammatory response modulation and microbiome profile changes to a healthy-site profile. Further studies should focus on other possible disease-contributing risk factors.

Moga RA, Olteanu CD, Delean AG. Case Report of a 4-Year-Old Girl with Stage IV Grade C Localized Periodontitis (Pre-Puberal Localized Aggressive Periodontitis) Affected by Misrecognition and Late Diagnosis. J Clin Med 2024; 13:266. [PMID: 38202275 PMCID: PMC10780170 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13010266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Stage IV grade C localized periodontitis (pre-puberal localized aggressive periodontitis/LPP) is a rare form of inflammatory periodontal disease occurring in clinically healthy individuals (no/small calculus/dental plaque traces), due a hyper-aggressive auto-immune response to high amounts of bacteria present in the oral cavity. CASE PRESENTATION This case report describes a 4-year-old Caucasian girl with localized gingival inflammation and advanced bone loss around the temporary lower left canine. The first diagnostic assumption was hypophosphatasia, and the patient was sent for further genetic and metabolic investigations (which turned out to be negative). The LPP diagnosis was made during the family's summer holidays due to her parents' concerns about persistent gingival inflammation and tooth mobility. RESULTS The diagnosis of LPP was supported by clinical oral examination results, earlier X-rays, earlier blood tests, and a periodontal bacterial test. The treatment was limited to avoid spreading inflammation to other teeth (via topical antibiotic treatment) due to our limited time frame, while the main problem of excessive amounts of periodontal bacteria in the oral cavity was not addressed. The tooth was eventually lost. CONCLUSIONS The ability to early recognize radiological and clinical LPP signs correlated with understanding of its pathological auto-immune mechanism is extremely important for expanding treatment options, since bone preservation and reducing amounts of bacteria are strictly correlated with therapeutic speed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disease of periodontal support tissue caused by microorganisms in dental plaque, which causes alveolar bone resorption and tooth loss. Periodontitis treatment goals include prevention of alveolar bone resorption and promotion of periodontal regeneration. We previously found that granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) was involved in periodontitis-related alveolar bone resorption through induction of an immune response and subsequent destruction of periodontal tissue. However, the mechanisms underlying the effects of G-CSF on abnormal bone remodeling have not yet been fully elucidated. Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) are major modulators of osteogenic differentiation in periodontal tissues. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigated whether G-CSF acts effects on hPDLSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation, as well as periodontal tissue repair. METHODS hPDLSCs were cultured and identified by short tandem repeat analysis. The expression patterns and locations of G-CSF receptor (G-CSFR) on hPDLSCs were detected by immunofluorescence analysis. The effects of G-CSF on hPDLSCs in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory microenvironment were investigated. Specifically, Cell-Counting Kit 8 (CCK8) and Alizarin red staining were used to examine hPDLSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation; reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect the expression patterns of osteogenesis-related genes (alkaline phosphatase [ALP], runt-related transcription factor 2 [Runx2], and osteocalcin [OCN]) in hPDLSCs; and Western blotting was used to detect the expression patterns of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and protein kinase B (Akt) of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. RESULTS hPDLSCs exhibited a typical spindle-shaped morphology and good clonogenic ability. G-CSFR was mostly localized on the cell surface membrane. Analyses showed that G-CSF inhibited hPDLSC proliferation. Also, in the LPS-induced inflammatory microenvironment, G-CSF inhibited hPDLSC osteogenic differentiation and reduced the expression levels of osteogenesis-related genes. G-CSF increased the protein expression levels of hPDLSC pathway components p-PI3K and p-Akt. CONCLUSIONS We found that G-CSFR was expressed on hPDLSCs. Furthermore, G-CSF inhibited hPDLSC osteogenic differentiation in vitro in the LPS-induced inflammatory microenvironment.

Abstract
Periodontitis is one of the most prevalent diseases in oral cavity, which could not merely lead to the destruction of supporting or surrounding tooth structures but also affect the whole-body health such as the digestive and nervous systems. Epidemiological investigations suggested that in some developed countries, more than 45% or even 50% population were suffering from periodontitis. However, the prevalence increases with age remarkably and it is investigated that a high prevalence (>50%) is affecting the elderly who is over 65 years old. There is an increasing interest in the direct and indirect relationships between periodontitis and hyperuricemia. Currently, hyperuricemia has become the second major metabolic disease in modern society and the prevalence of hyperuricemia among adult males and females was 21.7% and 14.4% respectively. As an inflammatory disease associated with various systemic diseases, periodontitis may have certain connections with hyperuricemia. Partial existing research announced that hyperuricemia could act as an inhibitory factor for periodontitis, while other scholars presented that a high uric acid (UA) level was more likely to aggravate inflammatory immune response and lead to more serious tissue destruction. This article provides a detailed and comprehensive overview of the relationship underlying hyperuricemia and periodontitis in the molecular mechanisms. Given the impact of hyperuricemia, this review could provide insight into its comorbidities.

Abstract
In order to improve our understanding on the microbial complexity associated with Grade C/molar-incisor pattern periodontitis (GC/MIP), we surveyed the oral and fecal microbiomes of GC/MIP and compared to non-affected individuals (Control). Seven Afro-descendants with GC/MIP and seven age/race/gender-matched controls were evaluated. Biofilms from supra/subgingival sites (OB) and feces were collected and submitted to 16S rRNA sequencing. Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) JP2 clone genotyping and salivary nitrite levels were determined. Supragingival biofilm of GC/MIP presented greater abundance of opportunistic bacteria. Selenomonas was increased in subgingival healthy sites of GC/MIP compared to Control. Synergistetes and Spirochaetae were more abundant whereas Actinobacteria was reduced in OB of GC/MIP compared to controls. Aa abundance was 50 times higher in periodontal sites with PD≥ 4 mm of GC/MIP than in controls. GC/MIP oral microbiome was characterized by a reduction in commensals such as Kingella, Granulicatella, Haemophilus, Bergeyella, and Streptococcus and enrichment in periodontopathogens, especially Aa and sulfate reducing Deltaproteobacteria. The oral microbiome of the Aa JP2-like+ patient was phylogenetically distant from other GC/MIP individuals. GC/MIP presented a higher abundance of sulfidogenic bacteria in the feces, such as Desulfovibrio fairfieldensis, Erysipelothrix tonsillarum, and Peptostreptococcus anaerobius than controls. These preliminary data show that the dysbiosis of the microbiome in Afro-descendants with GC/MIP was not restricted to affected sites, but was also observed in supragingival and subgingival healthy sites, as well as in the feces. The understanding on differences of the microbiome between healthy and GC/MIP patients will help in developing strategies to improve and monitor periodontal treatment.

Abstract
Clinical features suggest differences in immune response among periodontitis forms, albeit a large number of cytokines and chemokines remain to be evaluated. The saliva is an available source of mediators and its analysis would be valuable in order to understand pathophysiological differences. The objective of this study was analyze chemokines/cytokines profile in whole saliva of individuals with severe periodontitis (Stage III) presenting moderate [Grade B; GB] or rapid progression rate with a localized incisor-molar pattern [Grade C; GC/IMP]. A case-control study was designed for each periodontitis group. GB (n = 9) and GC/IMP (n = 7) patients and their healthy controls (C-GB, n = 9 and C-GC, n = 7) were evaluated. Non-stimulated saliva samples were assessed by a multiplex assay for a total of 40 cytokines, C-C and C-X-C motif chemokines. GC/IMP group presented higher levels of CCL17 and CCL27 (p = 0.04, FDR > 0.05), and lower levels of CCL2 (p = 0.04, FDR > 0.05) and CCL25 (p = 0.006, FDR < 0.05) when compared to its control. GB patients had higher levels of IL-6, IL-1β (p = 0.04, FDR > 0.05), and elevated pro-inflammatory (TNF-α,IL-1β,INF-γ,IL-6, IL-16): anti-inflammatory (IL-2, IL-4, IL-10) ratio (p = 0.01, FDR < 0.05) compared to its control [p-values by Mann-Whitney test, and False Discovery Rate (FDR) by Benjamini-Hochburg corrections]. CCL-chemokines and cytokines contributed to differences between GC/C-GC and GB/C-GB, respectively (p < 0.05, PERMANOVA test). These preliminary data revealed that each periodontitis phenotype presented distinct immune profiles differentially expressed in saliva compared to their related controls, suggesting differences in the etiopathogenesis of GB and GC/IMP.

Abstract
Periodontitis is known to be initiated by periodontal microbiota derived from biofilm formation. The microbial dysbiotic changes in the biofilm trigger the host immune and inflammatory responses that can be both beneficial for the protection of the host from infection, and detrimental to the host, causing tissue destruction. During this process, recognition of Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs) by the host Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an essential role in the host–microbe interaction and the subsequent innate as well as adaptive responses. If persistent, the adverse interaction triggered by the host immune response to the microorganisms associated with periodontal biofilms is a direct cause of periodontal inflammation and bone loss. A large number of T and B lymphocytes are infiltrated in the diseased gingival tissues, which can secrete inflammatory mediators and activate the osteolytic pathways, promoting periodontal inflammation and bone resorption. On the other hand, there is evidence showing that immune regulatory T and B cells are present in the diseased tissue and can be induced for the enhancement of their anti-inflammatory effects. Changes and distribution of the T/B lymphocytes phenotype seem to be a key determinant of the periodontal disease outcome, as the functional activities of these cells not only shape up the overall immune response pattern, but may directly regulate the osteoimmunological balance. Therefore, interventional strategies targeting TLR signaling and immune regulatory T/B cells may be a promising approach to rebalance the immune response and alleviate bone loss in periodontal disease. In this review, we will examine the etiological role of TLR signaling and immune cell osteoclastogenic activity in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. More importantly, the protective effects of immune regulatory lymphocytes, particularly the activation and functional role of IL-10 expressing regulatory B cells, will be discussed.

Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) regulates neutrophils infiltration and periodontal tissue destruction in an experimental periodontitis. Mol Immunol 2019; 117:110-121.

Abstract
Although granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF) has pathogenic roles in several immune inflammatory diseases, its role in periodontitis has not been investigated. Here we detected local expression of G-CSF using public datasets in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and immune cell infiltration into gingival tissue was estimated based on single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA). G-CSF expression and neutrophil infiltration were also confirmed by human gingival biopsies analysis. Moreover, anti-G-CSF neutralizing antibody was locally administrated to investigate the effects of G-CSF neutralization on neutrophils infiltration and periodontal tissue destruction in periodontitis mice model. Two public datasets (GSE10334 and GSE16134), which included 424 patients with periodontitis and 133 health controls, were used in the analysis. Markedly increased immune cell infiltration and G-CSF expression in gingival tissues were found in the periodontitis group as compared to the control group. The higher expression of G-CSF was correlated with higher infiltration of immune cells, especially with neutrophil infiltration. Analysis of gingival biopsies further confirmed high neutrophil infiltration and G-CSF expression. In addition, anti-G-CSF antibody-treated mice with periodontitis showed significantly reduced alveolar bone resorption and neutrophil infiltration when compared with periodontitis mice treated with isotype control antibody. Also, anti-G-CSF antibody treatment significantly reduced mRNA expression of CXC chemokines (CXCL1, CXCL2 and CXCL3), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, matrix metalloproteinases 9, receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand/osteoprotegerin (RANKL/OPG) ratio and osteoclasts number in periodontal tissues. In summary, neutrophil infiltration and G-CSF expression levels were significantly increased in inflamed gingival tissues. G-CSF neutralization in periodontal inflammation could alleviate neutrophil infiltration and periodontal tissue destruction in experimental periodontitis.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of this study was to test for the role of the P2X7 receptor in localized aggressive periodontitis (LAP). METHODS Peripheral blood was obtained from 95 subjects with LAP and 76 healthy unrelated controls (HUCs). Three P2RX7 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (rs1718119, rs2230911, and rs3751143) were genotyped from these subjects, and their peripheral blood samples were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Escherichia coli and tested for inflammatory markers. The 3 P2RX7 single-nucleotide polymorphisms were in found to be in perfect linkage disequilibrium, and a total of 4 haplotypes and 9 diplotypes were identified among all subjects. For both subject populations, the 9 diplotypes were grouped into 4 functional groups and tested for association with subject inflammatory response. To specifically study the effects of extrinsic activation of the P2X7 receptor in LAP, peripheral blood samples from were stimulated under 3 treatments: LPS, LPS + ATP, and LPS +ATP+ P2X7 selective inhibitor. The effects of these treatments on P2X7 receptor activity were measured through Luminex protein assay. Last, to test whether receptor stimulation was related to P2RX7 expression, relative mRNA levels of P2RX7 were quantified with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Several associations between the P2RX7 diplotypes and LPS-stimulated blood chemokine/cytokine levels were found between the LAP and HUC populations (P < 0.05). P2X7 activation resulted in statistically significant differences in IL-1β and IL-12p40 concentrations for both subject populations. The relative P2RX7 mRNA levels increased significantly after addition of its inhibitor for both LAP and HUC populations. CONCLUSIONS This study detected an association between P2RX7 functional diplotypes and in vitro immune response of whole blood from subjects with LAP. In addition, we found that inhibition of the activated P2X7 receptor leads to increased P2RX7 mRNA levels, suggesting a feedback loop ( ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01330719). KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER STATEMENT The results of this study suggest that P2RX7 functional diplotypes are associated with LAP and their in vitro immune response to bacteria. Ongoing studies to uncover the mechanistic link between P2RX7 and LAP phenotypes could lead to the development of preventive approaches for susceptible subjects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The human host defense peptide LL-37 both shows antimicrobial effects and modulates host cell properties. Here, we assess the effects of synthesized LL-37 on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells and investigates underlying mechanisms. BACKGROUND LL-37 has been detected in the periodontal tissues, but its functional importance for PDL cell innate immune responses is not known. METHODS Human PDL cells were obtained from premolars extracted on orthodontic indications. Cellular pro-inflammatory monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) mRNA expression was determined using quantitative real-time RT-PCR. MCP-1 protein production was assessed by western blot and ELISA. Internalization of LL-37 by PDL cells was visualized by immunocytochemistry. Nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B-cell (NF-κB) activity was assessed by western blot of phosphorylated p65, phosphorylated p105, and IκBα proteins. Binding of LL-37 to PDL cell DNA was determined by isolation and purification of DNA and dot blot for LL-37 immunoreactivity. RESULTS Treatment with LL-37 (1 µmol/L) for 24 hours prevented LPS-induced stimulation of MCP-1 expression analyzed both on transcript and on protein levels. Stimulation with LL-37 (1 µmol/L) for 24 hours had no effect on toll-like receptor (TLR)2 and TLR4 transcript expression, suggesting that LL-37 acts downstream of the TLRs. Preincubation with LL-37 for 60 minutes followed by stimulation with LPS for 24 hours in the absence of LL-37 completely prevented LPS-evoked MCP-1 transcript expression, implying that LL-37 acts intracellularly and not via binding and neutralization of LPS. In PDL cells stimulated with LL-37 for 60 minutes, the peptide was internalized as demonstrated by immunocytochemistry, suggesting an intracellular mechanism of action. LL-37 immunoreactivity was observed both in the cytosol and in the nucleus. Downregulation of LPS-induced MCP-1 by LL-37 was not mediated by reduction in NF-κB activity as shown by unaltered expression of phosphorylated p65, phosphorylated p105, and IκBα NF-κB proteins in the presence of LL-37. Immunoreactivity for LL-37 was observed in PDL cell DNA treated with but not without 0.1 and 1 µmol/L LL-37 for 60 minutes in vitro. CONCLUSION LL-37 abolishes LPS-induced MCP-1 production in human PDL cells through an intracellular, NF-κB-independent mechanism which probably involves direct interaction between LL-37 and DNA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several in vitro oral biofilm growth systems can reliably construct oral microbiome communities in culture, yet their stability and reproducibility through time has not been well characterized. Long-term in vitro growth of natural biofilms would enable use of these biofilms in both in vitro and in vivo studies that require complex microbial communities with minimal variation over a period of time. Understanding biofilm community dynamics in continuous culture, and whether they maintain distinct signatures of health and disease, is necessary to determine the reliability and applicability of such models to broader studies. To this end, we performed next-generation sequencing on biofilms grown from healthy and disease-site subgingival plaque for 80 days to assess stability and reliability of continuous oral biofilm growth. RESULTS Biofilms were grown from subgingival plaque collected from periodontitis-affected sites and healthy individuals for ten eight-day long generations, using hydroxyapatite disks. The bacterial community in each generation was determined using Human Oral Microbe Identification by Next-Generation Sequencing (HOMINGS) technology, and analyzed in QIIME. Profiles were steady through the ten generations, as determined by species abundance and prevalence, Spearman's correlation coefficient, and Faith's phylogenetic distance, with slight variation predominantly in low abundance species. Community profiles were distinct between healthy and disease site-derived biofilms as demonstrated by weighted UniFrac distance throughout the ten generations. Differentially abundant species between healthy and disease site-derived biofilms were consistent throughout the generations. CONCLUSIONS Healthy and disease site-derived biofilms can reliably maintain consistent communities through ten generations of in vitro growth. These communities maintain signatures of health and disease and of individual donors despite culture in identical environments. This subgingival oral biofilm growth and perpetuation model may prove useful to studies involving oral infection or cell stimulation, or those measuring microbial interactions, which require the same biofilms over a period of time.

Globular C1q receptor (p33) binds and stabilizes pro-inflammatory MCP-1: a novel mechanism for regulation of MCP-1 production and function. Biochem J 2018; 475:775-786.

Abstract
The protein gC1qR (globular C1q receptor), also named p33, was originally identified as a binding partner of the globular heads of C1q in the complement system. gC1qR/p33 is abundantly expressed in many cell types, but the functional importance of this protein is not completely understood. Here, we investigate the impact of gC1qR/p33 on the production and function of the pathophysiologically important chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Knockdown of gC1qR/p33 negatively regulated the production of MCP-1, but had no effect on the expression of transcript for MCP-1 in human periodontal ligament cells, suggesting a translational/post-translational mechanism of action. Laser scanning confocal microscopy showed considerable cytosolic co-localization of gC1qR/p33 and MCP-1, and co-immunoprecipitation disclosed direct physical interaction between gC1qR/p33 and MCP-1. Surface plasmon resonance analysis revealed a high-affinity binding (KD = 10.9 nM) between gC1qR/p33 and MCP-1. Using a transwell migration assay, we found that recombinant gC1qR/p33 enhances MCP-1-induced migration of human THP-1 monocytes, pointing to a functional importance of the interaction between gC1qR/p33 and MCP-1. An in vitro assay revealed a rapid turnover of the MCP-1 protein and that gC1qR/p33 stabilizes MCP-1, hence preventing its degradation. We propose that endogenous gC1qR/p33 physically interacts with MCP-1 causing stabilization of the MCP-1 protein and stimulation of its activity in human periodontal ligament cells, suggesting a novel gC1qR/p33-mediated pro-inflammatory mechanism of action.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the clinical, microbial, and inflammatory effects of a diode laser as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) versus SRP alone for the treatment of generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP). METHODS Using a split-mouth design, 31 patients with GAgP were enrolled in the study. The maxillary right and left quadrants were randomly assigned to SRP+diode laser or SRP alone. Patients were examined on a regular basis for clinical, microbiological, and inflammatory mediator changes over a 1-year period. Clinical attachment level (CAL) was the primary outcome variable chosen. In addition, subgingival biofilm samples and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) inflammatory mediators were analyzed at each follow-up session. RESULTS Compared to baseline, both treatments demonstrated an improvement in periodontal parameters at 1 year. However, SRP+diode laser produced a significant improvement in probing depth (PD; 2.56 ± 0.44 vs. 3.36 ± 0.51 mm, p < 0.05) and CAL (3.47 ± 0.25 vs. 4.11 ± 0.26 mm, p < 0.05) values compared to SRP alone. Similarly, in the SRP+diode laser group, the bacteria of orange complex group were significantly reduced at 30 and 60 days compared to SRP alone. Moreover, SRP+diode laser determined a reduction in mean GCF level of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-1β/IL-10 ratio at 15 and 30 days compared to SRP alone (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS At 1 year, SRP+diode laser yielded a significant reduction in some clinical parameters, while microbial and inflammatory mediator changes were not significantly reduced compared to SRP alone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the content of cytokines in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) as well as in plasma of Sudanese patients with aggressive periodontitis (AgP) and healthy controls (HC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Nineteen AgP patients and 19 HC were included. The mean probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level of the GCF sampled sites in patients were both ≥5 mm. The GCF and plasma levels of 27 cytokines were determined using 27-multiplex fluorescent bead-based immunoassays. Ratios were calculated among cytokines of the T-helper cell subsets Th1 and Th2. Descriptive statistics, the Mann-Whitney U-test and Spearman's rho rank correlation coefficient analysis were used. RESULTS Interferon-γ was the only cytokine found in significantly lower levels in GCF of patients compared with HC. Levels of interleukin (IL)-10, IL-13, IL-1Ra, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), regulated on activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES), granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), and granulocyte-macrophage-CSF (GM-CSF) were significantly lower in plasma of AgP compared with HC. The ratios of Th1:Th2 in GCF and Treg:Th17 in plasma were significantly lower in AgP. CONCLUSIONS The lower levels of cytokines detected systemically in plasma of AgP patients may have an impact on the immune response. The lower ratio of Th1:Th2 cytokines in GCF samples of AgP patients suggests a role for Th2 at the local site of disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The oral environment is anatomically positioned as a significant gateway for exposure to environmental toxicants. Cigarette smoke exposure compromises oral health by orchestrating inflammation. The receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) has been implicated in smoke-induced inflammatory effects; however, its role in the oral cavity is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine RAGE expression by immortalized gingival carcinoma cells and the degree to which RAGE-mediated signaling influences inflammation. DESIGN Gingival epithelia cells (Ca9-22) were exposed to 10% cigarette smoke extract (CSE) for six hours and screened for RAGE expression and inflammatory mediators. RESULTS Quantitative PCR and immunoblotting revealed increased RAGE expression following exposure. Furthermore, exposure activated RAGE signaling intermediates including Ras and NF-κB. IL-6 and IL-1β were also elevated in cell culture medium from CSE-exposed cells when compared to controls. A family of anionic, partially lipophilic sulfated polysaccharide derivatives known as semi-synthetic glycosaminoglycan ethers (SAGEs) were used in an effort to block RAGE signaling. Co-treatment of CSE and SAGEs ameliorated inflammatory responses. CONCLUSIONS These results provide a new perspective on a mechanism of cigarette smoke induced oral inflammation. Further work may show RAGE signaling as a potential target in the treatment of diseases of the oral cavity exacerbated by tobacco smoke exposure.

Abstract
Localized aggressive periodontitis (LAP) is a rare form of periodontal disease with site-specific rapid tissue destruction. A lipopolysaccharide (LPS) hyper-inflammatory response was shown in LAP using peripheral whole blood, although responses to other bacterial surface components or complex oral biofilms have not been evaluated. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 14 LAP patients, 15 healthy siblings (HS), and 13 unrelated healthy controls (HC) were stimulated with: LPS, lipoteichoic acid, or peptidoglycan; intact or sonically dispersed in vitro–grown biofilms from a LAP disease site, a LAP healthy site, or a healthy control site. Cell culture supernatants were assayed for 14 cyto/chemokines. Discriminant function analysis determined cyto/chemokines that discriminate disease status by response patterns to different stimuli. Qualitative differences in the cytokine response pattern among patient groups were observed to intact and dispersed biofilms, yet responses to healthy and diseased biofilms could not be discriminated. Despite an equivalent magnitude of response, LAP-derived PBMCs demonstrated a qualitatively different pattern of response to LPS and dispersed biofilms. PMBCs from each group responded distinctly to stimulation withsubgingival biofilms. Multiple underlying mechanisms related to bacterial-induced inflammatory responses can culminate in LAP disease initiation and/or progression, and biofilm homeostasis could play an important role.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 in aggressive periodontitis (AgP) and whether GCF MCP-1 levels differ among localized (L) AgP and generalized (G) AgP. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 160 subjects including 80 AgP and 80 age- and gender-matched periodontally healthy (H) controls were recruited in this cross-sectional study (NCT02927704). GCF samples were collected from 160 patients including 50 LAgP, 30 GAgP, and 80 H. Volume of GCF was measured by Periotron 8000® , and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to assess MCP-1 levels. RESULTS Compared to H controls, all clinical parameters and total amounts (pg 30 s-1 ) of MCP-1 were significantly higher in subjects with LAgP and GAgP (P < 0.05). Although concentrations of GCF MCP-1 did not differ between LAgP and GAgP (P > 0.05), total amounts of MCP-1 were higher in GAgP than LAgP (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION It can be concluded that the total amount of MCP-1 level in GCF may be a potential determinant in AgP subjects. Increased MCP-1 levels in line with the degree of periodontal destruction in GAgP patients reveal that MCP-1 can be used to understand the disease pathogenesis of LAgP and GAgP.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate long-term clinical response to periodontal therapy and maintenance in localized aggressive periodontitis (LAP). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred forty-one African Americans diagnosed with LAP, aged 5-25 years, were enrolled. Patients underwent periodontal mechanical debridement plus 1 week of amoxicillin/metronidazole. Mechanical therapy was repeated as needed and clinical parameters were recorded at baseline, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months, and two additional annual follow-up visits after treatment. Radiographs from primary dentition of patients with LAP in permanent dentition, and additional healthy siblings (HS) were analysed retrospectively. RESULTS Periodontal therapy significantly improved probing depth and clinical attachment level up to 4 years (mean reductions: 2.18 ± 1.03 and 2.80 ± 1.43 mm, respectively). Percentage of affected sites was reduced at all time points and maintained up to 4 years. Non-compliance with antibiotics/appointments negatively affected the treatment response. Ninety per cent of LAP patients in permanent dentition and 32% of HS presented radiographic bone loss in primary dentition. CONCLUSIONS Mechanical debridement with 1 week of systemic antibiotics along with proper periodontal maintenance was effective in the treatment and successful maintenance of LAP for up to 4 years. LAP in permanent dentition may be preceded in the primary dentition. Clinicaltrials.gov #NCT01330719.
