Periodontal diseases and cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and respiratory diseases: Summary of the consensus report by the European Federation of Periodontology and WONCA Europe. Eur J Gen Pract 2024; 30:2320120. [PMID: 38511739 PMCID: PMC10962307 DOI: 10.1080/13814788.2024.2320120] [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: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory non-communicable disease (NCD) characterised by the destruction of the tooth-supporting apparatus (periodontium), including alveolar bone, the presence of periodontal pockets, and bleeding on probing. OBJECTIVES To outline, for family doctors, the implications of the association between periodontal and systemic diseases; to explore the role of family doctors in managing periodontitis as an ubiquitous non-communicable disease (NCD). METHODS The consensus reports of previous focused collaborative workshops between WONCA Europe and the European Federation of Periodontology (using previously undertaken systematic reviews), and a specifically commissioned systematic review formed the technical papers to underpin discussions. Working groups prepared proposals independently, and the proposals were subsequently discussed and approved at plenary meetings. RESULTS Periodontitis is independently associated with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, obstructive sleep apnoea, and COVID-19 complications. Treatment of periodontitis has been associated with improvements in systemic health outcomes. The article also presents evidence gaps. Oral health care professionals (OHPs) and family doctors should collaborate in managing these conditions, including implementing strategies for early case detection of periodontitis in primary medical care centres and of systemic NCDs in oral/dental care settings. There is a need to raise awareness of periodontal diseases, their consequences, and the associated risk factors amongst family doctors. CONCLUSION Closer collaboration between OHPs and family doctors is important in the early case detection and management of NCDs like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, and respiratory diseases. Strategies for early case detection/prevention of NCDs, including periodontitis, should be developed for family doctors, other health professionals (OHPs), and healthcare funders. Evidence-based information on the reported associations between periodontitis and other NCDs should be made available to family doctors, OHPs, healthcare funders, patients, and the general population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Analyzing highly-cited articles can provide a retrospective assessment of research evolution and predict future developments. The aim of this study was to carry out a bibliometric analysis of the 100 most-cited articles in dentistry by authors with an Italian affiliation. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION All the articles published in journals indexed under the Scopus category "Dentistry" and with at least one author affiliated to any Italian institution were searched in September 2022. The 100 most-cited articles were selected and relevant data were extracted and summarized. The analysis of co-authorship at country level and co-occurrence of keywords was carried out. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS The 100 most-cited articles were published between 1976 and 2020. The number of citations ranged from 235 to 1683, with a mean of 361. The series included 25 citation classics (>400 citations). The majority of articles were classified as expert opinion/narrative reviews (N.=47). Almost half of the articles refer to three predominant disciplines which were implantology, periodontology and restorative dentistry. Only two articles were single-authored. In 30 articles, all the authors had an Italian affiliation and the US was the most frequent country for non-Italian authors. Only one article was published in journals owned by a non-Italian publisher. CONCLUSIONS The present series of highly-cited articles confirms the important role of Italy in dental research. We found an absence of correlation between the level of evidence and the number of citations and a non-homogeneous distribution of highly-cited papers in the different dental disciplines. The majority of articles included in the series shared international co-authorship and were published in high-impact journals.

Multifunctional human serum albumin-crosslinked and self-assembling nanoparticles for therapy of periodontitis by anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation and osteogenesis. Mater Today Bio 2024; 28:101163.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that can result in the irreversible loss of tooth-supporting tissues and elevate the likelihood and intensity of systemic diseases. The presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and associated related oxidative stress is intricately linked to the progression and severity of periodontal inflammation. Targeted removal of local ROS may serve to attenuate inflammation, improve the unfavorable periodontal microenvironment and potentially reverse ensuing pathological cascades. These ROS scavenging nanoparticles, which possess additional characteristics such as anti-inflammation and osteogenic differentiation, are highly sought after for the treatment of periodontitis. In this study, negative charged human serum albumin-crosslinked manganese-doped self-assembling Prussian blue nanoparticles (HSA-MDSPB NPs) were fabricated. These nanoparticles demonstrate the ability to scavenge multiple ROS including superoxide anion, free hydroxyl radicals, singlet oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. Additionally, HSA-MDSPB NPs exhibit the capacity to alleviate inflammation in gingiva and alveolar bone both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, HSA-MDSPB NPs have been shown to play a role in promoting the polarization of macrophages from the M1 to M2 phenotype, resulting in reduced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. More attractively, HSA-MDSPB NPs have been demonstrated to enhance cellular osteogenic differentiation. These properties of HSA-MDSPB NPs contribute to decreased inflammation, extracellular matrix degradation and bone loss in periodontal tissue. In conclusion, the multifunctional nature of HSA-MDSPB NPs provides a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The worldwide prevalence of periodontitis is considerably high, and its pathogenic mechanisms must be investigated and understood in order to improve clinical treatment outcomes and reduce the disease prevalence and burden. The exacerbation of the host immune system induced by oral microbial dysbiosis and the subsequent tissue destruction are the hallmarks of the periodontitis. However, the oral bacteria involved in periodontitis are not fully understood. We used the Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing system to analyze metagenomic information in subgingival dental plaque from periodontitis and non-periodontitis patients. The number of Lactobacillus zeae (L. zeae) in the periodontitis patients was 17.55-fold higher than in the non-periodontitis patients, suggesting that L. zeae is a novel periodontitis-associated pathogen. Although several Lactobacillus species are used in vivo as probiotics to treat periodontitis and compete with Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), the roles of L. zeae in periodontitis progression, and the relationship between L. zeae and P. gingivalis needs to be investigated. METHODS Both L. zeae and P. gingivalis were inoculated in the ligature-implant site of periodontitis mice. We collected mouse gingival crevicular fluid to analyze inflammatory cytokine secretion using a multiplex assay. Intact or sliced mouse maxilla tissue was used for micro-computed tomography analysis or hematoxylin and eosin staining, immunohistochemistry, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining to evaluate alveolar bone loss, neutrophil infiltration, and osteoclast activation, respectively. RESULTS We observed that L. zeae competed with P. gingivalis, and it increased inflammatory cytokine secretion at the ligature-implant site. Similar to P. gingivalis, L. zeae promoted ligature-induced neutrophile infiltration, osteoclast activation, and alveolar bone loss. DISCUSSION We, therefore, concluded that L. zeae accelerated the progression of periodontitis in the ligature-induced periodontitis mouse model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to investigate and predict the therapeutic agents associated with disulfidptosis in periodontitis. DESIGN The dataset GSE10334 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and used to train a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and support vector machine recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) algorithm to identify genes associated with disulfidptosis in periodontitis. GSE16134 validation sets, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and gingival immunofluorescence were used to verify the results.Single-gene Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed to explore the potential mechanisms and functions of the characterized genes. Immune infiltration and correlation analyses were performed, and competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks were constructed. Effective therapeutic drugs were then predicted using the DGIdb database, and molecular docking was used to validate binding affinity. RESULTS Six genes (SLC7A11, SLC3A2, RPN1, NCKAP1, LRPPRC, and NDUFS1) associated with disulfidptosis in periodontitis were obtained. Validation results from external datasets and experiments were consistent with the screening results. Single-gene GSEA analysis was mainly enriched for antigen presentation and immune-related pathways and functions.Immune infiltration and correlation analyses revealed significant regulatory relationships between these genes and plasma cells, resting dendritic cell, and activated NK cells. The ceRNA network was visualized. And ME-344, NV-128, and RILUZOLE, which have good affinity to target genes, were identified as promising agents for the treatment of periodontitis. CONCLUSIONS SLC7A11, SLC3A2, RPN1, NCKAP1, LRPPRC, and NDUFS1 are targets associated with disulfidptosis in periodontitis, and ME-344, NV-128, and RILUZOLE are promising agents for the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
Background Periodontal disease is the sixth most common disease worldwide and may be a contributory risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Objectives This study utilizes noninvasive cardiac imaging and longitudinal and genetic data to characterize the association between periodontal disease and both cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging biomarkers of remodeling and incident coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods From the UK Biobank, 481,915 individuals were included, 91,022 (18.9%) of whom had self-reported periodontal disease. For imaging analysis, 59,019 had paired CMR data. Multivariable linear regression models were constructed to examine the association of periodontal disease on CMR outcomes. The endpoints for the CMR analyses were left ventricle (LV) end-diastolic volume, LV ejection fraction, LV mass, LV mass:volume ratio, LV global longitudinal strain, and native T1 values. The relationship between periodontal disease and CVD was assessed using Cox proportional hazards regression models, with incident CAD as the endpoint. To examine the relationship of genetically determined periodontal disease on CAD, a genome-wide polygenic risk score was constructed. Results Periodontal disease was associated with a significantly higher LV mass:volume ratio (effect size: 0.00233; 95% CI: 0.0006-0.004) and significantly lower T1 values (effect size: -0.86 ms; 95% CI: -1.63 to -0.09). Periodontal disease was independently associated with an increased hazard of incident CAD (HR: 1.09; 95% CI: 1.07-1.13) at a median follow-up time of 13.8 years. Each SD increase in the periodontal disease polygenic risk score was associated with increased odds of CAD (OR: 1.03; 95% CI: 1.02-1.05). Conclusions Using an integrated approach across imaging, observational, and genomic data, periodontal disease is associated with biomarkers of subclinical remodeling as well as incident CAD. These findings highlight the potential importance of periodontal disease in the broader context of CVD prevention.

[PMID: 38688800 DOI: 10.1016/j.identj.2024.04.007] [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: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
AIM Tobacco smoke exposure, zinc intake, and periodontitis are closely related. This study intended to assess the relationship between tobacco smoke exposure and zinc intake and its effect on periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study included 9364 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) of USA. A weighted multivariate logistic regression model was used to investigate the independent relationship and interaction effect among tobacco smoke exposure, zinc intake, and periodontitis. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated. The additive interaction was evaluated using relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI), attributable proportion of interaction (AP), and synergy index (SI). RESULTS In all, 56.57% participants had periodontitis. Compared with participants without tobacco smoke exposure, those with tobacco smoke exposure had increased odds of having periodontitis (OR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.67-2.31). Similarly, patients with adequate zinc intake were found to have decreased odds of having periodontitis than those with inadequate zinc intake (OR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.76-0.98). Importantly, there was antagonistic interaction effect between zinc intake and tobacco smoke exposure on periodontitis (RERI: OR, -0.432; 95% CI, -0.829 to -0.034; AP: OR, -0.242; 95% CI, -0.470 to -0.014; SI: OR, 0.645; 95% CI, 0.446 to 0.932). CONCLUSIONS Tobacco smoke exposure and zinc intake were independently correlated with periodontitis risk. Decreasing tobacco smoke exposure and optimizing dietary zinc intake appear to be important measures that could be taken to control periodontitis.

Abstract
Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition that affects the tooth-supporting structures, triggered by the host's immune response toward the bacterial deposits around the teeth. Annexin A1 (AnxA1), a vital member of the annexin superfamily, is known for its diverse physiological functions, particularly its anti-inflammatory and anti-senescence properties. We hypothesized that AnxA1 has a protective effect against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory responses and cellular damage in periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs). In this study, we demonstrate that LPS stimulation significantly reduced telomerase activity in PDLCs, a decline that was dose-dependently reversed by AnxA1. Importantly, AnxA1 protected the cells from LPS-induced cellular senescence and the downregulation of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression. In line with this, AnxA1 suppressed the LPS-induced expression of p21 and p16 at both the mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, AnxA1 demonstrated potent anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the secretion of interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). It also mitigated LPS-induced oxidative stress by reducing the levels of phosphorylated Foxo3a (Ser253) and restored sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) expression. Notably, SIRT1 silencing abolished AnxA1's protective effects on Foxo3a phosphorylation and cellular senescence, suggesting that SIRT1 mediates AnxA1's actions. In conclusion, AnxA1 protected PDLCs against LPS-triggered inflammation and cell senescence by activating SIRT1 signal pathway. These findings indicate that AnxA1 could serve as a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of periodontitis.

[PMID: 39329863 PMCID: PMC11431043 DOI: 10.3390/dj12090297] [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: 07/04/2024] [Revised: 09/04/2024] [Accepted: 09/20/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease, has been associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, has emerged as a potential biomarker linking periodontitis, endothelial dysfunction, and CVD. This systematic review aimed to synthesize the existing evidence on the relationship between ADMA, periodontitis, and CVD, and to evaluate ADMA's potential as a biomarker for periodontal disease progression and its correlation with endothelial dysfunction. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from their inception to March 2023. Observational and interventional studies assessing ADMA levels in patients with periodontitis and/or CVD were included. The methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated using the NIH Quality Assessment Tools. Due to the heterogeneity of the included studies, a qualitative synthesis was performed. Results: Cross-sectional studies consistently demonstrated significantly elevated ADMA levels in patients with periodontitis and CVD compared to healthy controls. The prospective cohort study indicated that successful periodontal treatment was associated with a significant reduction in ADMA levels and concomitant improvement in endothelial function. The pilot cohort study reported a significant decrease in ADMA levels following periodontal therapy in patients with chronic kidney disease. However, the randomized controlled trials did not demonstrate significant alterations in ADMA levels or endothelial function subsequent to periodontal treatment in patients with periodontitis alone. Conclusions: Periodontal treatment may effectively reduce ADMA levels and improve endothelial function, particularly in patients with comorbidities. These findings suggest that ADMA is a promising biomarker linking periodontitis, endothelial dysfunction, and CVD. However, the limitations of this study include the small number of studies, heterogeneity in the study designs, and a lack of long-term follow-up data. Further high-quality, longitudinal studies are required to confirm its clinical utility and elucidate the underlying mechanisms of these relationships. The integration of periodontal care into CVD prevention and management strategies warrants consideration, as it may contribute to mitigating the cardiovascular risk associated with periodontitis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The significance of dental status and oral hygiene on a range of medical conditions is well-recognised. However, the correlation between periodontitis, oral bacterial dysbiosis and visceral surgical outcomes is less well established. To this end, we study sought to determine the influence of dental health and oral hygiene on the rates of postoperative complications following major visceral and transplant surgery in an exploratory, single-center, retrospective, non-interventional study. METHODS Our retrospective non-interventional study was conducted at the Department of General, Visceral, and Transplant Surgery, University Hospital Heidelberg, Germany. Patients operated on between January 2018 and December 2019 were retrospectively enrolled in the study based on inclusion (minimum age of 18 years, surgery at our Department, intensive care / IMC treatment after major surgery, availability of patient-specific preoperative dental status assessment, documentation of postoperative complications) and exclusion criteria (minor patients or legally incapacitated patients, lack of intensive care or intermediate care (IMC) monitoring, incomplete documentation of preoperative dental status, intestinal surgery with potential intraoperative contamination of the site by intestinal microbes, pre-existing preoperative infection, absence of data regarding the primary endpoints of the study). The primary study endpoint was the incidence of postoperative complications. Secondary study endpoints were: 30-day mortality, length of hospital stay, duration of intensive care stay, Incidence of infectious complications, the microbial spectrum of infectious complication. A bacteriology examination was added whenever possible (if and only if the examination was safe for the patient)for infectious complications. RESULTS The final patient cohort consisted of 417 patients. While dental status did not show an influence (p = 0.73) on postoperative complications, BMI (p = 0.035), age (p = 0.049) and quick (p = 0.033) were shown to be significant prognostic factors. There was significant association between oral health and the rate of infectious complications for all surgical procedures (p = 0.034), excluding transplant surgery. However, this did not result in increased 30-day mortality rates, prolonged intensive care unit treatment or an increase in the length of hospital stay (LOS) for the cohort as a whole. In contrast there was a significant correlation between the presence of oral pathogens and postoperative complications for a group as a whole (p < 0.001) and the visceral surgery subgroup (p < 0.001). Whilst this was not the case in the cohort who underwent transplant surgery, there was a correlation between oral health and LOS in this subgroup (p = 0.040). Bacterial swabs supports the link between poor oral health and infectious morbidity. CONCLUSIONS Dental status was a significant predictor of postoperative infectious complications in this visceral surgery cohort. This study highlights the importance preoperative dental assessment and treatment prior to major surgery, particularly in the case of elective surgical procedures. Further research is required to determine the effect of oral health on surgical outcomes in order to inform future practice. TRIAL REGISTRATION Trial registered under the ethics-number S-082/2022 (Ethic Committee of the University Heidelberg).

Abstract
Periodontal diseases, ranging from gingivitis to periodontitis, are prevalent oral diseases affecting over 50% of the global population. These diseases arise from infections and inflammation of the gums and supporting bones, significantly impacting oral health. The established link between periodontal diseases and systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, underscores their importance as a public health concern. Consequently, the early detection and prevention of periodontal diseases have become critical objectives in healthcare, particularly through the integration of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This paper aims to bridge the gap between clinical practices and cutting-edge technologies by providing a comprehensive review of current research. We examine the identification of causative factors, disease progression, and the role of AI in enhancing early detection and treatment. Our goal is to underscore the importance of early intervention in improving patient outcomes and to stimulate further interest among researchers, bioengineers, and AI specialists in the ongoing exploration of AI applications in periodontal disease diagnosis.

ANXA2 promotes osteogenic differentiation and inhibits cellular senescence of periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) in high glucose conditions. PeerJ 2024; 12:e18064. [PMID: 39308808 PMCID: PMC11416082 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.18064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 08/19/2024] [Indexed: 09/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) are a major component of the periodontal ligament and have an important role in the regeneration of periodontal tissue and maintenance of homeostasis. High glucose can affect the activity and function of PDLCs in a variety of ways; therefore, it is particularly important to find ways to alleviate the effects of high glucose on PDLCs. Annexin A2 (ANXA2) is a calcium- and phospholipid-binding protein involved in a variety of cellular functions and processes, including cellular cytokinesis, cytophagy, migration, and proliferation. Aim The aim of this study was to exploring whether ANXA2 attenuates the deleterious effects of high glucose on PDLCs and promotes osteogenic differentiation capacity. Methods and results Osteogenic differentiation potential, cellular senescence, oxidative stress, and cellular autophagy were detected. Culturing PDLCs with medium containing different glucose concentrations (CTRL, 8 mM, 10 mM, 25 mM, and 40 mM) revealed that high glucose decreased the protein expression of ANXA2 (p < 0.0001). In addition, high glucose decreased the osteogenic differentiation potential of PDLCs as evidenced by decreased calcium deposition (p = 0.0003), lowered ALP activity (p = 0.0010), and a decline in the expression of osteogenesis-related genes (p = 0.0008). Moreover, β-Galactosidase staining and expression of p16, p21 and p53 genes showed that it increased cellular senescence in PDLCs (p < 0.0001). Meanwhile high glucose increased oxidative stress in PDLCs as shown by ROS (p < 0.0001). However, these damages caused by high glucose were inhibited after the addition of 1 µM recombinant ANXA2 (rANXA2), and we found that rANXA2 enhanced autophagy in PDLCs under high glucose conditions. Conclusions and discussion Therefore, our present study demonstrates that alterations in ANXA2 under high glucose conditions may be a factor in the decreased osteogenic differentiation potential of PDLCs. Meanwhile, ANXA2 is associated with autophagy, oxidative stress, and cellular senescence under high glucose conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic periodontitis may induce erectile dysfunction (ED), however, the specific mechanism involved is unclear. The endothelial glycocalyx (eGlx) is a structure that can regulate endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) phosphorylation on the cavity surface of vessels. AIM To investigate whether chronic periodontitis leads to ED by affecting the eGlx. METHODS Twenty-four 4-week-old male Sprague‒Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 6): the control group, chronic periodontitis group, chronic periodontitis + heparin group (subcutaneous heparin 200 U/kg/day, 7 days), and control + heparin group. Four weeks after the induction of periodontitis in the rats, the maximum intra-cavernous pressure/mean arterial pressure (ICPmax/MAP), serum C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), nitric oxide (NO), heparin sulfate (HS), syndecan-1 (SDC-1), heparanase (HPSE), eNOS, and phosphor-eNOS (p-eNOS) concentration were measured, and the eGlx of the penile corpus cavernosum was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). OUTCOMES Chronic periodontitis can degrade eGlx on the rat penile corpus cavernosum by increasing serum CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels, reducing the p-eNOS/eNOS ratio and the NO concentration in the penile corpus cavernosum, and resulting in the inhibition of the erectile function. RESULTS Serum CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels and HPSE expression in penile cavernous tissue were significantly greater in the chronic periodontitis group than in the control group and the chronic periodontitis + heparin group (P < 0.05). The average thickness of the eGlx muscle in the penile corpus cavernosum in the chronic periodontitis group was significantly lower than those in the control group and chronic periodontitis + heparin group (P < 0.05). The HS concentration, SDC-1 expression, p-eNOS/eNOS, NO concentration, and ICPmax/MAP in the chronic periodontitis group were significantly lower than those in the control group and chronic periodontitis+ heparin group (P < 0.01). CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS The eGlx on penile cavernosum vessels may be a new therapeutic target for the treatment of ED. STRENGTHS AND LIMITATIONS This study revealed that chronic periodontitis promotes the decomposition of vascular eGlx in the rat penile corpus cavernosum, however, it is not clear whether chronic periodontitis inhibits the synthesis of eGlx. CONCLUSION Chronic periodontitis can degrade eGlx on the rat penile corpus cavernosum by increasing serum CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels, reducing the p-eNOS/eNOS ratio and the NO concentration in penile cavernous tissue, and resulting in the inhibition of the erectile function. Heparin inhibited eGlx decomposition and improved erectile function in rats with chronic periodontitis.

Abstract
Background Homeless people are continuously facing adverse living conditions as poor access to basic nutrition, hygiene conditions and healthcare services, being at increased risk of severe infectious diseases as HIV and hepatitis as well as cardiovascular diseases and mental disorders. The characterization of homeless people's health is fundamental to identify their health care needs. Considering that the aforementioned diseases are associated with chronic inflammatory processes, the main goal of this study was to characterize the inflammatory profile of a homeless population through quantification in saliva of a panel of inflammatory cytokines. Methods The inflammatory profile was assessed in 114 individuals residing in two temporary shelters located in Lisbon and that accepted to participated in the study. Inflammatory proteins were quantified using a Multiplex Immunoassay approach. Data analysis was performed using the GraphPad Prism software and statistical significance among the groups was assessed using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney test. Results Even though some protein levels might be masked by drug treatment, data analysis showed high levels of INF-ϒ, IL-10 and TNF-α in the infectious disease group, critical cytokines for the immune response against viruses and bacteria. Also, cytokines like IL-1β and IL-6 were detected at statistically significant levels in the cardiovascular disease group and all cytokines included in this study were quantified in the mental disorders group. Conclusion These findings may help the healthcare services in the evaluation of treatment efficacy and disease monitoring, and in the development of effective public healthcare strategies and policy interventions to improve quality of life of the homeless population.

Abstract
The main bioactive components of agarwood, derived from Aquilaria sinensis, include sesquiterpenes, 2-(2-phenethyl) chromone derivatives, aromatic compounds, and fatty acids, which typically exert anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immune-modulating, hypoglycemic, and antitumor pharmacological effects in the form of essential oils. Agarwood tree leaves, rich in flavonoids, 2-(2-phenethyl) chromone compounds, and flavonoid compounds, also exhibit significant anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-modulating effects. These properties are particularly relevant to the treatment of periodontitis, given that inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, and immune dysregulation are key pathological mechanisms of the disease, highlighting the substantial potential of agarwood and agarwood tree leaves in this therapeutic area. However, the low solubility and poor bioavailability of essential oils present challenges that necessitate the development of improved active formulations. In this review, we will introduce the bioactive components, extraction methods, pharmacological actions, and clinical applications of agarwood and agarwood tree leaves, analyzing its prospects for the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The study 'Periodontitis and Its Relation to Coronary Artery Disease' (PAROKRANK) reported an association between periodontitis (PD) and the first myocardial infarction (MI). This follow-up study aims to test the hypothesis that those with PD-compared to periodontally healthy individuals-are at increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) events and death. METHODS A total of 1587 participants (age <75 years; females 19%) had a dental examination including panoramic radiographs between 2010 and 2014. PD was categorized as healthy (≥80% alveolar bone height), mild/moderate (79%-66%) or severe (<66%). A composite CV event (first of all-cause death, non-fatal MI or stroke and hospitalization following to heart failure) was investigated during a mean follow-up period of 9.9 years (range 0.2-12.5 years). Participants were divided into two groups: those with and without PD. The primary event rate, stratified by periodontal status at baseline, was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression. RESULTS The number of events was 187 in the 985 periodontally healthy participants (19%) and 174 in the 602 participants with PD (29%; p < 0.0001). Those with PD had a higher likelihood for a future event (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.26; 95% CI: 1.01-1.57; p = 0.038), following adjustment for age, smoking and diabetes. CONCLUSION The PAROKRANK follow-up revealed that CV events were more common among participants with PD, which supports the assumption that there might be a direct relation between PD and CV disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bidirectional influences between senescence and inflammation are newly discovered. This study aimed to clarify the roles and mechanism of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) in exacerbating senescence in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). DESIGN Subgingival plaque and gingivae were collected from twenty-four periodontitis patients and eighteen periodontally healthy subjects. Quantities of P. gingivalis in subgingival plaque were explored using real-time PCR and the expressions of p53, p21 and SIRT6 in gingivae were detected by IHC. Moreover, senescence in HGFs was induced by P. gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the expressions of senescence-related β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal), p53, p21 and senescence-associated secretory phenotype (IL-6 and IL-8) with or without treatment by SIRT6 activator UBCS039 were explored by IHC, western blot and ELISA, respectively. In addition, the levels of SIRT6, Nrf2, HO-1 and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were examined by western blot and flow cytometry. RESULTS Quantities of P. gingivalis in subgingival plaque and semi-quantitative scores of p53 and p21 in gingivae of periodontitis patients were increased compared with healthy controls (p < 0.05), while SIRT6 score in periodontitis patients was decreased (p < 0.001). Quantities of P. gingivalis were positively correlated with p53 and p21 scores (0.6 < r < 0.9, p < 0.01), and negatively correlated with SIRT6 score (-0.9 < r<-0.6, p < 0.01). Moreover, P. gingivalis LPS increased the levels of SA-β-gal, p53, p21, IL-6, IL-8 and ROS and decreased the levels of SIRT6, Nrf2 and HO-1 in HGFs, which was rescued by UBCS039 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS P. gingivalis LPS could induce senescence of HGFs, which could be reversed by SIRT6 via Nrf2-HO-1 signaling pathway.

Reyes Garita P, Tran VT, Chatzopoulou E, Toko-Kamga L, Bouchard P, Carra MC. Oral hygiene behaviors and periodontitis among patients with chronic diseases and its impact on tooth loss and oral health-related quality of life: a cross-sectional study of data from the ComPaRe e-cohort. Clin Oral Investig 2024; 28:518. [PMID: 39243303 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-024-05903-z] [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: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 08/27/2024] [Indexed: 09/09/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Little is known about oral hygiene habits of patients suffering from chronic diseases. This study aims to describe oral hygiene behavior (OHB) in terms of tooth brushing and professional scaling frequency among patients with chronic diseases. Secondarily, it aims to assess the association between OHB and periodontitis, tooth loss, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a cross-sectional analysis of data of adult participants in the ComPaRe e-cohort. Participants were classified into having good, moderate, and poor OHB according to self-reported frequency of toothbrushing and professional tooth scaling. Periodontitis was assessed using the PEriodontal Screening Score (PESS). Weighted binary regression models were used to estimate the association between OHB and the following outcomes: (i) periodontitis; (ii) number of missing teeth; and (iii) OHRQoL based on the Oral Health Impact Profile-14. RESULTS Overall, 8553 patients were included in the analyses (52.9% females, mean age of 56.3 ± 17 years). Of these, 2907 (34%), 3953 (46%) and 1693 (20%) were considered as having good, moderate, and poor OHB, respectively. Over half (54.1%) of the patients had a PESS ≥ 5 suggestive for severe periodontitis. Moderate OHB was associated with lower odds of PESS ≥ 5 compared to poor OHB (Adjusted Odds Ratio, OR = 0.81 [95%CI: 0.70-0.92]). Good and moderate OHB were significantly associated with lower odds of ≥ 10 missing teeth (OR = 0.26 [95%CI: 0.21-0.33] and OR = 0.47 [95%CI: 0.4-0.56], respectively) and better OHRQoL than poor OHB. CONCLUSIONS Although, most of patients with chronic diseases reported to have good or moderate OHB, severe periodontitis is highly prevalent among this patient population in France. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study describes OHB in a representative sample of patients suffering from one or more chronic diseases and provides an estimate of the prevalence of self-reported severe periodontitis, missing teeth, and OHRQoL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to systematically review the existing literature and critically appraise the evidence of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on periodontitis. This study also aims to synthesise the findings of genetic risk variants of periodontitis from included GWAS. METHODS A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, GWAS Catalog, MEDLINE, GLOBAL HEALTH and EMBASE via Ovid for GWAS on periodontitis. Only studies exploring single-nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) associated with periodontitis were eligible for inclusion. The quality of the GWAS was assessed using the Q-genie tool. Information such as study population, ethnicity, genomic data source, phenotypic characteristics(definition of periodontitis), and GWAS methods(quality control, analysis stages) were extracted. SNPs that reached conventional or suggestive GWAS significance level(5e-8 or 5e-06) were extracted and synthesized. RESULTS A total of 15 good-quality GWAS on periodontitis were included (Q-genie scores ranged from 38-50). There were huge heterogeneities among studies. There were 11 identified risk SNPs (rs242016, rs242014, rs10491972, rs242002, rs2978951, rs2738058, rs4284742, rs729876, rs149133391, rs1537415, rs12461706) at conventional GWAS significant level (p<5x10-8), and 41 at suggestive level (p<5x10-6), but no common SNPs were found between studies. Three SNPs (rs4284742 [G], rs11084095 [A], rs12461706 [T]) from three large studies were from the same gene region-SIGLEC5. CONCLUSION GWAS of periodontitis showed high heterogeneity of methodology used and provided limited SNPs statistics, making identifying reliable risk SNPs challenging. A clear guidance in dental research with requirement of expectation to make GWAS statistics available to other investigators are needed.

Impaired Periodontitis-Induced Cytokine Production by Peripheral Blood Monocytes and Myeloid Dendritic Cells in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Case-Control Study. J Clin Med 2024; 13:5297. [PMID: 39274511 PMCID: PMC11395796 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13175297] [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: 08/12/2024] [Revised: 09/04/2024] [Accepted: 09/05/2024] [Indexed: 09/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Immune cells from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients display a reduced in vitro response to Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), which may have functional immune consequences. The aim of this study was to characterize, by flow cytometry, the frequency/activity of monocytes and naturally occurring myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) in peripheral blood samples from patients with periodontitis and patients with periodontitis and RA. Methods: The relative frequency of monocytes and mDCs in the whole blood, the frequency of these cells producing TNFα or IL-6 and the protein expression levels for each cytokine, before and after stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Escherichia coli plus interferon-γ (IFN-γ), were assessed by flow cytometry, in peripheral blood samples from 10 healthy individuals (HEALTHY), 10 patients with periodontitis (PERIO) and 17 patients with periodontitis and RA (PERIO+RA). Results: The frequency of monocytes and mDCs producing IL-6 or TNF-α and the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α in the PERIO group were generally higher. Within the PERIO+RA group, P. gingivalis and related antibodies were negatively correlated with the monocyte and mDC expression of IL-6. A subgroup of the PERIO+RA patients that displayed statistically significantly lower frequencies of monocytes producing IL-6 after activation presented statistically significantly higher peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD)2/4 activity, anti-arg-gingipain (RgpB) IgG levels, mean probing depth (PD), periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA) and bleeding on probing (BoP). Conclusions: In the patients with PERIO+RA, innate immune cells seemed to produce lower amounts of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are correlated with worse periodontitis-related clinical and microbiological parameters.

Abstract
Sleep is fundamental for health and well-being. An adequate amount and quality of sleep is a cardinal component of a healthy lifestyle at the basis of the prevention of many non-communicable chronic diseases. Recent evidence suggests that sleep disorders, particularly obstructive sleep apnea, represent an emerging risk factor for periodontal health. This review article provides a critical appraisal of the existing literature concerning the association between sleep duration, sleep quality, sleep disorders in general, and obstructive sleep apnea with periodontal diseases, including gingivitis and periodontitis. The putative mechanisms underlying these associations are described as well as the potential clinical implications for diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Green leafy vegetables (GLV) contain inorganic nitrate, an anion with potential prebiotic effects on the oral microbiome. However, it remains unclear whether GLV and pharmacological supplementation [potassium nitrate (PN)] with a nitrate salt induce similar effects on the oral microbiome. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the effect of GLV with PN supplementation on the oral microbiome composition and salivary biomarkers in individuals with high blood pressure. METHODS Seventy individuals were randomly allocated to 3 different groups to follow a 5-wk dietary intervention. Group 1 consumed 300 mg/d of nitrate in form of GLV. Group 2 consumed pills with 300 mg/d of PN and low-nitrate vegetables. Group 3 consumed pills with potassium chloride (placebo: PLAC) and low-nitrate vegetables. The oral microbiome composition and salivary biomarkers of oral health were analyzed before and after the dietary intervention. RESULTS The GLV and PN groups showed similar microbial changes, probably nitrate-dependent, including an increase in the abundance of Neisseria, Capnocytophaga, Campylobacter species, and a decrease in Veillonella, Megasphaera, Actinomyces, and Eubacterium species after the treatment. Increased abundance of Rothia species, and reduced abundance of Streptococcus, Prevotella, Actinomyces, and Mogibacterium species were observed in the GLV group, which could be nitrate-independent. GLV and PN treatments increased salivary pH, but only GLV treatment showed an increase in the salivary buffering capacity and a reduction of lactate. CONCLUSION The combination of nitrate-dependent and nitrate-independent microbial changes in the GLV group has a stronger effect to potentially improve oral health biomarkers compared with PN.

THE JOURNAL OF PAIN 2024; 25:104529. [PMID: 38588761 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpain.2024.104529] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024]
Abstract
Poor oral health conditions in adults are associated with chronic pain. A nationwide cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the link between tooth loss and chronic pain. The study involved 8,662 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Tooth count was categorized into 4 groups, and chronic pain was defined as persistent pain lasting over 3 months despite treatment. Location of the chronic pain, demographics, comorbidities, lifestyle determinants, and dietary intake were retrieved. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to explore cross-sectional associations between tooth count and chronic pain. Compared to participants with more than 20 teeth, those with severe tooth loss presented greater odds of chronic pain (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.111, 95% confidence intervals (CI) = 1.213-3.676 for patients with 1-8 teeth). Edentulous participants presented with significantly higher odds of chronic pain in the lower extremities (78.4%) and buttocks (49.5%). In the multivariate model, apart from rheumatic arthritis (aOR = 4.004, 95% CI = 2.766-5.798), variables of higher chronic pain included smoking (aOR = 1.518, 95% CI = 1.228-1.878), and hypertension (aOR = 1.463, 95% CI = 1.013-2.112). On the contrary, being Mexican American (aOR = .603, 95% CI = .414-.880) was associated with lower odds of chronic pain. The findings suggested a significant link between chronic pain and tooth loss, independent of ethnicity, lifestyle determinants, and immune-mediated inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis. PERSPECTIVE: A U.S. nationwide study examined tooth loss and chronic pain. Those with severe tooth loss had increased odds of chronic pain. Edentulous individuals presented higher odds of pain in lower extremities and buttocks. This study highlighted the link between tooth loss and chronic pain, independent of comorbidities and lifestyle factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is the major cause of mortality globally, with increasing evidence suggesting a link between periodontitis, and CVD. This study aims to explore the association between periodontitis and CVD, and the impact of periodontal therapy on cardiovascular health. METHODS This review synthesized findings from preclinical and clinical studies, without publication year restrictions, examining periodontitis and CVD through various lenses. Scientific databases were inspected with keywords related to periodontitis and CVD. RESULTS The review identifies a substantial association between periodontitis and an increased risk of several CVD, supported by both epidemiological and interventional studies. Results suggest the complexity of the relationship, influenced by factors like the severity of periodontitis and the presence of other systemic conditions. Clinical data indicates that periodontal therapy, particularly non-surgical periodontal therapy, may reduce systemic inflammatory markers and thus may play a role in the primary and secondary prevention of CVD events, highlighting the potential of periodontal therapy to not only maintain oral health but also to modulate cardiovascular risk factors. CONCLUSIONS Current evidence supports a significant association between periodontitis and increased cardiovascular risk, promoting integrated healthcare approaches that consider oral health as a key-component of cardiovascular care and wellbeing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE There is a relative lack of evidence from observational studies of older populations investigating the association between chronic periodontitis and cerebro-cardiovascular diseases. Accordingly, we investigated the risk of cerebro-cardiovascular diseases according to the severity of chronic periodontitis among older adults. METHODS Data on older adults with chronic periodontitis were extracted from the Korea National Health Insurance Service-Senior Cohort Database using diagnosis codes and dental procedures. Participants were divided into two exposure groups. Among 46 737 participants eligible for inclusion, 21 905 (46.9%) had newly diagnosed mild chronic periodontitis, and 24 832 (53.1%) had newly diagnosed severe chronic periodontitis. To determine the risk of cerebro-cardiovascular diseases, including ischemic stroke, haemorrhagic stroke, and myocardial infarction, multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards modelling was used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) in this retrospective follow-up study. RESULTS A total of 3453 (7.4%) outcomes were identified during a mean follow-up of 6.1 years. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that disease-free probability was lower in the severe group than in the mild group (log-rank P < .001). In the multivariable-adjusted model, the HR for cerebro-cardiovascular diseases in the severe group (relative to the mild group) was 1.16 (95% CI: 1.09-1.25). In individual outcome analysis, ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction were associated with chronic periodontitis severity, but haemorrhagic stroke was not. CONCLUSION The severity of chronic periodontitis could be associated with the risk of cerebro-cardiovascular diseases in older adults.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between periodontitis and cardiometabolic and haemostatic parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 2014 and 2019, 54 individuals needing full mouth extraction, and 50 control individuals, were recruited for a combined cross-sectional (individuals versus controls) and longitudinal (individuals before and after extraction) study. Periodontitis severity was measured using the periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA). Blood was drawn to measure the haemostatic (Factor VIII, von Willebrand factor [VWF], endogenous thrombin potential, d-dimer, clot lysis time) and cardiovascular risk (C-reactive protein [CRP], lipid profile) parameters, prior to and 12 weeks post-extraction. The results were analysed group-wise. RESULTS The mean VWF and CRP levels were higher and the high-density lipoprotein levels were lower in the individuals prior to extraction compared to the controls. The VWF was significantly correlated with the PISA (a 21% unit increase in VWF per 1000 mm2 increase in PISA, 95%CI: 6-36%, p = 0.01). The other analyses were comparable between the individuals and controls, and did not change in the individuals after the extraction. CONCLUSION VWF levels are associated with periodontitis severity; they do not improve after full-mouth extraction. Severe periodontitis in control individuals does not induce substantial changes in their haemostatic or inflammatory systems. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Treatment of periodontitis has been shown to improve the cardiometabolic blood profile of patients with established cardiometabolic disease. However, whether periodontitis treatment improves cardiometabolic and haemostatic profiles in people without cardiometabolic disease is uncertain.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease primarily caused by dental plaque, which is a significant global public health concern due to its high prevalence and severe impact on oral, and even systemic diseases. The current therapeutic plan focuses on three objectives: pathogenic bacteria inhibition, inflammation control, and osteogenic differentiation induction. Existing treatments still have plenty of drawbacks, thus, there is a pressing need for novel methods to achieve more effective treatment effects. Nanomaterials, as emerging materials, have been proven to exert their inherent biological properties or serve as stable drug delivery platforms, which may offer innovative solutions in periodontitis treatment. Nanomaterials utilized in periodontitis treatment fall into two categories, organic and inorganic nanomaterials. Organic nanomaterials are known for their biocompatibility and their potential to promote tissue regeneration and cell functions, including natural and synthetic polymers. Inorganic nanomaterials, such as metal, oxides, and mesoporous silica nanoparticles, exhibit unique physicochemical properties that make them suitable as antibacterial agents and drug delivery platforms. The inorganic nanosurface provides terrain induction for cell migration and osteogenic regeneration at defect sites by introducing different surface morphologies. Inorganic nanomaterials also play a role in antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) for eliminating pathogenic bacteria in the oral cavity. In this review, we will introduce multiple forms and applications of nanomaterials in periodontitis treatment and focus on their roles in addressing the key therapeutic objectives, to emphasize their promising future in achieving more effective and patient-friendly approaches toward periodontal tissue regeneration and overall health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontal tissue damage is mainly caused by the active form of collagenolytic matrix metalloproteinase-8, aMMP-8, the concentration of which in the mouth rinse can be measured with a mouth rinse chairside-test. The mouth rinse chair side test can be used to identify adolescents with a risk of periodontitis. METHODS The data were collected at the Kotka Health Centre (2004-2005, N = 501 and 2014-2015, N = 47) and at the Hämeenlinna Health Centre (2017-2018, N = 125) consisting of adolescents aged 14-17. They underwent a complete periodontal examination, and some were subjected to the aMMP-8-test. RESULTS We identified bacterial plaques in combination with increased bleeding on probing (BOP), elevated aMMP-8 concentration, smoking and male sex as the main risk factors for initial periodontitis. Approximately 10% of adolescents had subclinical periodontitis, they were not periodontally healthy, but also not sick. They may not develop periodontitis, but they are at the risk. The aMMP-8 test positivity had a stronger association with initial periodontitis than BOP. CONCLUSIONS In addition to identifying risk factors, these adolescents need individual prevention and, if necessary, early treatment. For the periodontal health biomarker aMMP-8, test negativity ([-], ≤20 ng/mL) should be sought.

Biological aging mediates the association between periodontitis and cardiovascular disease: results from a national population study and Mendelian randomization analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between periodontitis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been extensively studied, but the role of biological aging in this relationship remains poorly understood. This study is dedicated to investigating the effect of periodontitis on the incidence of CVD and to elucidating the potential mediating role of biological aging. Furthermore, this study will seek to elucidate the causal association between periodontitis, CVD, and biological aging. METHODS We included 3269 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2009-2014) with diagnostic information on periodontitis and composite CVD events. Biological aging was evaluated by utilizing both the Klemera-Doubal method's calculated biological age (KDMAge) and phenotypic age (PhenoAge). Logistic regression, restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis, and subgroup analysis were used for data analysis. Mediation analysis was employed to explore the mediating role of biological aging. Subsequently, Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were performed using genome-wide association study databases to explore potential causal relationships between periodontitis, CVD, and biological aging. RESULTS Periodontitis was associated with a higher risk of CVD. Participants with periodontitis were found to have increased levels of biological aging, and elevated levels of biological aging were associated with increased CVD risk. Mediation analyses showed a partial mediating effect of biological aging (PhenoAge: 44.6%; KDMAge: 22.9%) between periodontitis and CVD risk. MR analysis showed that periodontitis played a causal role in increasing the risk of small vessel stroke, while myocardial infarction was found to increase the risk of periodontitis. In addition, reverse MR analysis showed that phenotypic aging can increase the risk of periodontitis, and there is a two-way causal relationship between CVD and biological aging. CONCLUSIONS Periodontitis is associated with an increased CVD risk, partially mediated by biological aging, with a complex causal interrelationship. Targeted interventions for periodontal health may slow the biological aging processes and reduce CVD risk.

Abstract
Stroke represents a significant global health burden, with a substantial impact on mortality, morbidity, and long-term disability. The examination of stroke biomarkers, particularly the oral microbiome, offers a promising avenue for advancing our understanding of the factors that contribute to stroke risk and for developing strategies to mitigate that risk. This review highlights the significant correlations between oral diseases, such as periodontitis and caries, and the onset of stroke. Periodontal pathogens within the oral microbiome have been identified as a contributing factor in the exacerbation of risk factors for stroke, including obesity, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and endothelial dysfunction. The alteration of the oral microbiome may contribute to these conditions, emphasizing the vital role of oral health in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. The integration of dental and medical health practices represents a promising avenue for enhancing stroke prevention efforts and improving patient outcomes.

Abstract
AIMS Periodontitis and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are highly prevalent non-communicable diseases, sharing an inflammatory pathogenesis and common risk factors. The objective of the present research is to assess the association between periodontitis and cardiovascular disease risk in a representative sample of the Spanish-employed population. METHODS Cross-sectional data were obtained between 2008 and 2011 in the Workers' Oral Health (WORALTH) epidemiological study. Periodontal examinations were based on the evaluation of clinical attachment loss (CAL) and community periodontal index (CPI). Participants also underwent a medical check-up and answered a comprehensive health questionnaire. With this information, participants were categorized into three levels of CVD risk using the systemic coronary risk estimation (SCORE) algorithm for low-risk European countries. Crude and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were determined with multiple logistic regression models for the association between periodontal status and CVD risk. RESULTS Data from 4224 individuals were analyzed. The overall prevalence of high CVD risk (SCORE ≥ 5%) was 5.1%. The prevalence of SCORE ≥ 5% was 3.4%, 9.4%, and 15.2% for CAL 0-3 mm, 4-5 mm, and ≥6 mm, respectively (p < .001), and 6.2%, 6.5%, and 14.6% for CPI ≤2, 3, and 4, respectively (p < .001). Individuals with CPI = 4 presented an OR of 1.50 (95% confidence interval, CI [1.04; 2.17]) for high SCORE values, after adjusting for confounders (age, sex, and smoking habit). CONCLUSIONS Periodontitis, defined by the presence of deep periodontal pockets (≥6 mm), was significantly associated with high CVD risk (SCORE ≥ 5%) in a representative sample of the employed population in Spain.

Abstract
Dental diseases, such as dental caries and periodontal disorders, constitute a major global health challenge, affecting millions worldwide and often resulting in tooth loss. Traditional dental treatments, though beneficial, typically cannot fully restore the natural functions and structures of teeth. This limitation has prompted growing interest in innovative strategies for tooth regeneration methods. Among these, the use of dental stem cells to generate functional tooth modules represents an emerging and promising approach in dental tissue engineering. These modules aim to closely replicate the intricate morphology and essential physiological functions of dental tissues. Recent advancements in regenerative research have not only enhanced the assembly techniques for these modules but also highlighted their therapeutic potential in addressing various dental diseases. In this review, we discuss the latest progress in the construction of functional tooth modules, especially on regenerating dental pulp, periodontal tissue, and tooth roots.

Abstract
Background/purpose Information on the systemic medication profiles of patients with periodontitis is limited. Therefore, this retrospective cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the relationship between the severity and rate of progression of periodontitis and systemic medication intake using a database of patients who attended the Clinic of Periodontics of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Costa Rica. Methods Electronic health records of patients diagnosed with periodontitis based on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions (2017) were evaluated. Individuals were further categorized based on the severity (stage) and rate of progression (grade). Data extracted from the patient records included age, sex, and self-reported medication intake. Results In total, 930 records were included. Most of the studied population was middle-aged (36-64 years old); 43.01% were male, and 56.99% were female. Four hundred and fifty-seven patients (49.14%) reported taking at least one systemic medication for a chronic condition. Regarding the periodontal treatment phase, 62.37% underwent steps 1-3, and 37.63% underwent step 4. The most common systemic medications taken were for cardiovascular diseases (42.28%), followed by medications for diabetes (14.46%) and neurologic disorders (14.46%). Most patients (59.35%) were diagnosed with Stage III periodontitis. Grade B (48.28%) was the most prevalent. Calcium channel blockers demonstrated a disease severity-dependent association with the periodontal stage (p = 0.021). In addition, systemic medications for diabetes mellitus were associated with periodontal disease severity and rate of progression (all Ps < 0.05). Conclusions This study provides indirect evidence of the association between systemic diseases and periodontitis. The positive association between medications used to treat diabetes and the severity and rate of progression of periodontitis may be due to the underlying disease rather than the medications per se.

[PMID: 38616305 DOI: 10.1111/jre.13262] [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: 08/04/2023] [Revised: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease mediated by dysbiosis of the oral microflora, resulting in the destruction of periodontal tissue. Increasing evidence suggested that mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) and exosomes derived from MSCs play a critical role in periodontal tissue regeneration. However, whether stem cells from exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED)-secreted exosomes can improve the therapeutic potential of periodontitis is largely unknown. OBJECTIVE Here, we aim to evaluate the effect of SHED-exosomes on inflammation, apoptosis and osteogenic differentiation in periodontitis. METHODS The periodontitis cell model was constructed by stimulating periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and the periodontitis rats were established by ligation. RESULTS First, we isolated exosomes from the SHED, and we figured out that exosomes secreted by SHED were enriched in miR-92a-3p and the exosomes enhanced proliferation and osteogenic differentiation and reduced apoptosis and inflammatory responses in PDLSCs. In addition, we found that SHED-exosomes alleviated inflammatory effect and elevated the expression of osteogenic-related genes in periodontitis rat model. Moreover, miR-92a-3p targeted downstream Krüppel-Like Transcription Factor 4 (KLF4) and regulated the PI3K/AKT pathway. Finally, our data indicated that upregulation of KLF4 or activation of PI3K/AKT by 740Y-P counteracted the inhibitory effect of SHED-exosomes on periodontitis progression. CONCLUSION Taken together, our finding revealed that exosomal miR-92a-3p derived from SHED contributed to the alleviation of periodontitis development and progression through inactivating the KLF4/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, which may provide a potential target for the treatment of periodontitis.

Association of individual and combined exposures of 10 metals with periodontitis: Results from a large population-based study. J Periodontal Res 2024; 59:669-678. [PMID: 38666324 DOI: 10.1111/jre.13270] [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: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024]
Abstract
AIMS To systematically investigate the association between individual and combined metal exposure and periodontitis. METHODS Data encompassing complete periodontal examinations and metal detection in blood and urine samples were procured from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2014. Three statistical methods, namely weighted logistic regression, Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR), and weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression, were used to evaluate the independent and combined associations between metals and periodontitis. RESULTS Elevated concentrations of blood cadmium (odds ratio [OR]: 1.73, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.15-2.61) and blood lead (OR: 1.17, 95 %CI: 1.02-1.34) exhibited a positive association with periodontitis, even after adjusting for potential confounding factors. The BKMR and WQS regression suggested that the co-exposure of metals was also positively associated with periodontitis. Moreover, estradiol and albumin were identified as potential mediators in the relationship between the WQS index of the 10 metals in blood and periodontitis explaining 25.36% and 2.02% of the relationship, respectively. Furthermore, generally consistent patterns of associations between metals and periodontitis and mediating roles of estrogen and albumin were observed after a series of sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION This study provides evidence of positive associations between elevated levels of cadmium, lead or metal mixture and periodontitis, which may be partially mediated by sex hormones and oxidative stress indicators.

Int Dent J 2024; 74:705-712. [PMID: 38431470 PMCID: PMC11287172 DOI: 10.1016/j.identj.2024.01.027] [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: 10/14/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Growing evidence appears to intimate a profound connection between periodontitis and coronary atherosclerosis (CA), yet the existence of a causal relationship remains unclear. Through the implementation of Mendelian randomization analysis, we further evaluated the potential causal link between chronic/acute periodontitis (CP/AP) and CA. METHODS Utilizing genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics, we incorporated periodontitis data derived from European samples (n1 = 198,441; n2 = 195,762) and CA data from 61,194 cases. We conducted a 2 sample, bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method as the main analytical approach. Supplementary analyses were executed through MR Egger, Weighted median (WM), IVW, Simple mode, and Weighted mode approaches. RESULTS The IVW analysis revealed no significant causal relationship between CA and periodontitis (CA-CP: OR = 2.110, 95% CI = 0.208-21.317, P = .527; CA-AP: OR = 0.414, 95% CI = 0.051-3.384, P = .644). Similarly, the bidirectional analysis did not identify impact of periodontitis on CA (OR = 1.000, 95% CI = 0.999-1.001, P = .953). The supplementary analyses corroborated these findings. CONCLUSIONS While studies highlighting a correlation between periodontitis and CA, our comprehensive analysis does not corroborate a causal association between periodontitis and CA. Further research is needed to elucidate other potential shared mechanisms and causal evidence between periodontitis and CA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the dental care pattern and survival rates of participants who received long-term care (LTC) and a matched control cohort in South Korea. BACKGROUND Global ageing trends and the development of superaged societies pose healthcare challenges. South Korea's LTC system aids those with chronic illnesses and disabilities. Despite the link between oral health and systemic diseases, providing dental care in LTC facilities often reflects social neglect. METHODS We identified 1 459 163 individuals eligible for LTC insurance in the Korean National Health Insurance Service database from July 2008 to 2015 (LTC cohort) and 1 459 544 individuals matched through propensity-score matching (matched cohort). The LTC recipients were further categorised into subgroups based on their care type (institutional, home or mixed care). Population of utilising dental services and the average number of dental visits were counted in each cohort, and the survival rate of the LTC cohort was determined according to dental utilisation. RESULTS Population of utilising dental services increased steadily in all cohorts except for institutional care, with the highest utilisation (around 30%) observed in the matched cohort. Lower independence in LTC cohorts was associated with lower dental utilisation: 18-27% for home care, 12-18% for mixed care, and 10% for institutional care. The survival rates in the LTC cohort were significantly lower than in the matched cohort (P < .0001), with 28.1% survival in LTC vs 59.3% in the matched cohort. CONCLUSION Long-term care recipients experience social neglect for oral care, while higher survival rates were observed in those utilised dental services.

[PMID: 39105056 PMCID: PMC11300057 DOI: 10.1155/2024/9769772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 05/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Biomarkers can be measured in various biological samples. Urine is among the most useful biofluids for routine testing, and several experimental and clinical studies support its role as a tool for the diagnosis and prevention of various diseases. The present systematic review aimed to examine periodontitis-specific urine biomarkers that could have a diagnostic relevance and to provide a qualitative assessment of the current literature. Materials and Methods Relevant studies identified from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases were examined to answer the following PECO question: "Could the concentration of specific metabolites in the urine be related to periodontal health and what is their diagnostic accuracy?". Quality of included studies was rated using ROBINS-I tool. Meta-analysis was conducted on available quantitative data. Results After the screening of 768 titles, five studies were included in qualitative synthesis. The studies included referred to the evaluation of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and neopterin. Meta-analysis was conducted for neopterin concentration on data available in four studies involving 129 participants. Higher concentrations of neopterin were found in periodontitis-affected patients compared to controls and patients treated for periodontitis. Conclusions The literature appears controversial in attributing a role to neopterin and 8-OHdG as periodontal biomarkers, highlighting the need for further clinical studies on this topic. While some studies report variations in 8-OHdG and neopterin levels in periodontally affected patients versus either controls or periodontally treated patients, the level of evidence appears still limited to draw firm conclusions (PROSPERO CRD42020222681).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the potential genetic link between sleep traits and periodontitis. METHODS A two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was conducted using publicly available genome-wide association studies data on chronotype, daytime sleepiness, daytime napping frequency, insomnia, sleep duration, snoring, and the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), along with a separate dataset on periodontitis. RESULTS Chronotype (OR = 0.929, 95% CI = 0.788-1.095), daytime sleepiness (OR = 0.492, 95% CI = 0.186-1.306), daytime napping frequency (OR = 1.178, 95% CI = 0.745-1.863), sleep duration (OR = 0.868, 95% CI = 0.644-1.169), AHI (OR = 1.124, 95% CI = 0.980-1.289), insomnia (OR = 0.832, 95% CI = 0.440-1.573), and snoring (OR = 0.641, 95% CI = 0.198-2.075) had no effect on periodontitis. Similarly, periodontitis demonstrated no significant effect on sleep traits. CONCLUSIONS There is no evidence of a bidirectional genetic relationship between sleep traits and the risk of periodontitis.

Abstract
The focus of this article was to evaluate the link between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and periodontitis, considering various hypotheses supporting the relationship between respiratory disorders and periodontitis. The literature review for this study was performed using the PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane library, and Proquest databases. The review process was guided by the PRISMA guidelines. The PECOS protocol (Population, Exposure, Control, Outcome, Study) was followed in developing the search strategy to ensure consistent and accurate selection of articles. To evaluate quality, cross-sectional studies were reviewed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tool. Case-control studies were assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). The research included a total of 10 studies, encompassing 88,040 participants. The meta-analysis observed a statistically significant association between OSAS and periodontitis, with an odds ratio OR = 2.4620 (95%-CI: 1.7345-3.4946 p ≤ 0.0001). The results suggest a potential association between OSA and periodontitis. Further investigations are warranted to confirm this association and elucidate its underlying mechanism.

Abstract
The human body hosts trillions of microorganisms throughout many diverse habitats with different physico-chemical characteristics. Among them, the oral cavity and the gut harbour some of the most dense and diverse microbial communities. Although these two sites are physiologically distinct, they are directly connected and can influence each other in several ways. For example, oral microorganisms can reach and colonize the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the context of gut dysbiosis. However, the mechanisms of colonization and the role that the oral microbiome plays in causing or exacerbating diseases in other organs have not yet been fully elucidated. Here, we describe recent advances in our understanding of how the oral and intestinal microbiota interplay in relation to their impact on human health and disease.

Abstract
Objectives This narrative review aims to update the current evidence and offer insight into the new non-invasive ultrasound techniques used to early identify degenerative vascular changes in subjects with periodontitis and to investigate if these methodologies could be useful to identify subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) dysfunction in periodontitis patients and to monitor changes in CVD risk after periodontal treatment. Methods Studies examining the assessment of vascular endothelial function through the latest methodologies were analyzed. Systematic reviews, observational studies, and clinical trials in the English language were identified using PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases with key search terms such as "periodontitis," "endothelial dysfunction (ED)," "arterial stiffness," and "periodontal therapy." Results Several mechanisms are involved in the association between periodontitis and CVD. The key players are periodontal bacteria and their toxins, which can enter the circulation and infiltrate blood vessel walls. The increase in proinflammatory molecules such as interleukins and chemokines, c-reactive protein, fibrinogen, and oxidative stress also plays a decisive role. In addition, an increase in parameters of ED, arterial stiffness, and atherosclerosis, such as carotid intima-media thickness, pulse wave velocity, and flow-mediated dilatation, has been shown in periodontal patients. Conclusions The literature today agrees on the association of periodontitis and CVD and the positive role of periodontal therapy on systemic inflammatory indices and cardiovascular outcomes. Hopefully, these non-invasive methodologies could be extended to periodontal patients to provide a comprehensive understanding of the CVD-periodontitis link from the perspective of a personalized medicine approach in periodontology.

Abstract
The roles and molecular mechanisms of Delta-like 1 (DLK1) in periodontitis remain largely unknown. Here, we investigated the expression of DLK1 and NF-κB p65 in Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg.)-induced periodontitis in vivo. Periodontal inflammation and alveolar bone resorption were analyzed using western blotting, micro-computed tomography, TRAP staining, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. Raw246.7 cells were stimulated with 1 μg/ml Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (Pg.LPS) to assess DLK1 expression in vitro. DLK1 overexpression was achieved, and transfection efficiency was confirmed using western blotting and immunofluorescence. The NF-κB and MAPK pathways were activated by treating cells with 1 μg/ml Pg.LPS to explore related mechanisms. Compared with normal tissues, both DLK1 and NF-κB p65 expression increased in periodontitis gingival tissues. DLK1-positive expression was observed in inflammatory infiltrating cells and osteoclasts in the marginal lacunae of the alveolar bone. DLK1 expression in CD68-positive macrophages was detected by immunofluorescence. However, DLK1 expression in Raw246.7 cells decreased after Pg.LPS stimulation and during osteoclast differentiation. DLK1 levels negatively correlated with TNF-α, IL-1β, and NFATC1. Increased DLK1 in Raw246.7 cells further inhibited COX2 and iNOS expressions. Mechanistically, DLK1 overexpression down-regulated NF-κB p65 and JNK levels. In summary, these findings suggest that DLK1 overexpression inhibits periodontal inflammation through the NF-κB p65 and JNK pathways. Interventions targeting increased DLK1 levels may have therapeutic implications for periodontitis.

Abstract
Background Disulfidptosis and ferroptosis are forms of programmed cell death that may be associated with the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Our study developed periodontitis-associated biomarkers combining disulfidptosis and ferroptosis, which provides a new perspective on the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Methods Firstly, we obtained the periodontitis dataset from public databases and found disulfidptosis- and ferroptosis-related differentially expressed transcripts based on the disulfidptosis and ferroptosis transcript sets. After that, transcripts that are tissue biomarkers for periodontitis were found using three machine learning methods. We also generated transcript subclusters from two periodontitis microarray datasets: GSE16134 and GSE23586. Furthermore, three transcripts with the best classification efficiency were further screened. Their expression and classification efficacy were validated using qRT-PCR. Finally, periodontal clinical indicators of 32 clinical patients were collected, and the correlation between three transcripts above and periodontal clinical indicators was analyzed. Results We identified six transcripts that are tissue biomarkers for periodontitis, the top three transcripts with the best classification, and delineated two expression patterns in periodontitis. Conclusions Our study found that disulfidptosis and ferroptosis were associated with immune responses and may involve periodontitis genesis.

J Clin Periodontol 2024. [PMID: 38956929 DOI: 10.1111/jcpe.14040] [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: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
AIM To investigate the relationship and potential causality between biological ageing and periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We obtained the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics as well as single-cell sequencing data. Multivariate regression analysis based on cross-sectional data, Mendelian randomization (MR) and multi-omics integration analysis were employed to explore the causal association and potential molecular mechanisms between biological ageing and periodontitis. Additionally, two-step MR mediation analysis explored the risk factors in biological ageing-mediated periodontitis. RESULTS We analysed data from 3189 participants in the NHANES data and found that higher biological age was associated with increased risk of periodontitis. MR analyses revealed causal associations between biological age measures and periodontitis risk. Frailty (odds ratio [OR] = 2.08, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04-4.18, p = .039) and GrimAge acceleration (OR = 1.16, 95% CI: 1.01-1.32, p = .033) were causally associated with periodontitis risk, and these results were validated in a large-scale meta-periodontitis GWAS dataset. Additionally, the risk effects of body mass index, waist circumference and lifetime smoking on periodontitis were partially mediated by frailty and GrimAge acceleration. CONCLUSIONS Evidence from cross-sectional survey and MR analysis suggests that biological ageing increases the risk of periodontitis. Additionally, improving the associated risk factors can help prevent both ageing and periodontitis.

Effects of oxidized LDL versus IL-1ß/TNF-ɑ/INFɣ on human gingival mesenchymal stem cells properties. J Periodontal Res 2024. [PMID: 38952262 DOI: 10.1111/jre.13319] [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: 04/23/2024] [Revised: 06/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
AIMS Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) is an important player in the course of metabolic inflammatory diseases. oxLDL was identified in the gingival crevicular fluid, denoting possible associations between oxLDL-induced inflammation and periodontal disease. The current investigation compared for the first-time direct effects of oxLDL to a cytokine cocktail of IL-1ß/TNF-ɑ/INF-γ on gingival mesenchymal stem cells' (G-MSCs) attributes. METHODS Human third passage G-MSCs, isolated from connective tissue biopsies (n = 5) and characterized, were stimulated in three groups over 7 days: control group, cytokine group (IL-1β[1 ng/mL], TNF-α[10 ng/mL], IFN-γ[100 ng/mL]), or oxLDL group (oxLDL [50 μg/mL]). Next Generation Sequencing and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, stemness gene expression (NANOG/SOX2/OCT4A), cellular proliferation, colony-formation, multilinear potential, and altered intracellular pathways were investigated via histochemistry, next-generation sequencing, and RT-qPCR. RESULTS G-MSCs exhibited all mesenchymal stem cells' characteristics. oxLDL group and cytokine group displayed no disparities in their stemness markers (p > .05). Next-generation-sequencing revealed altered expression of the TXNIP gene in response to oxLDL treatment compared with controls (p = .04). Following an initial boosting for up to 5 days by inflammatory stimuli, over 14 day, cellular counts [median count ×10-5 (Q25/Q75)] were utmost in control - [2.6607 (2.0804/4.5357)], followed by cytokine - [0.0433 (0.0026/1.4215)] and significantly lowered in the oxLDL group [0.0274 (0.0023/0.7290); p = .0047]. Osteogenic differentiation [median relative Ca2+ content(Q25/Q75)] was significantly lower in cytokine - [0.0066 (0.0052/0.0105)] compared to oxLDL - [0.0144 (0.0108/0.0216)] (p = .0133), with no differences notable for chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation (p > .05). CONCLUSIONS Within the current investigation's limitations, in contrast to cytokine-mediated inflammation, G-MSCs appear to be minimally responsive to oxLDL-mediated metabolic inflammation, with little negative effect on their differentiation attributes and significantly reduced cellular proliferation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Periodontitis and peri-implantitis are oral infectious-inflammatory diseases associated with oral microbial dysbiosis. Microbiome-based therapies, characterized by manipulation of the microbiota, are emerging as promising therapeutic approaches to resolve the microbial dysbiosis and associated dysregulation of immune system. This review aims at summarizing recent progress on microbiome-based therapies in periodontitis and peri-implantitis, promoting a further understanding of the related therapeutic mechanisms. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Pertinent literatures focused on microbiome-based therapies for periodontitis and peri-implantitis are obtained from PubMed and Web of Science. RESULTS In this article, we review the roles and therapeutic mechanisms of four microbiome-based therapies, including probiotics, postbiotics, predatory bacteria and phages, and microbiota transplantation, in the management of periodontitis and peri-implantitis. Challenges facing this field are also discussed, highlighting the areas that require more attention and investigation. CONCLUSIONS Microbiome-based therapies may serve as effective treatment for periodontitis and peri-implantitis. This review presents a new viewpoint to this field.

Arch Oral Biol 2024; 163:105974. [PMID: 38636252 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2024.105974] [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: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the regulatory role of G protein subunit alpha i3 (GNAI3) in periodontitis. DESIGN Following the induction of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the mRNA and protein expressions of GNAI3 and Lin28A were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot. The transfection efficiency of Oe-GNAI3 and sh-Lin28A was examined by virtue of RT-qPCR and western blot. With the application of ELISA and flow cytometry, the releases of inflammatory cytokines and cell apoptosis were appraised. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and alizarin red S (ARS) staining were conducted to evaluate osteogenic differentiation. Next, the binding ability of Lin28A with GNAI3 mRNA was estimated by radioimmunoprecipitation (RIP) assay while the stability of GNAI3 mRNA was assessed utilizing RT-qPCR. Western blot was employed for the measurement of inflammation-, apoptosis- and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB)/NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome pathway-related proteins and osteogenic markers. RESULTS The expression of GNAI3 was down-regulated in LPS-induced hPDLSCs. After the transfection with Oe-GNAI3, the inflammation and apoptosis in LPS-induced hPDLSCs were inhibited while osteogenic differentiation was promoted. Moreover, Lin28A could stabilize GNAI3 mRNA and Lin28A knockdown significantly reduced GNAI3 expression. Further experiments verified that the inhibitory effects of GNAI3 overexpression on LPS-induced cellular inflammation and cell apoptosis as well as the promotive effects on osteogenic differentiation in hPDLSCs were all partially counteracted by Lin28A depletion, which may possibly be mediated via the regulation of the NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. CONCLUSION GNAI3 that mediated by Lin28A regulates the inflammation and osteogenic differentiation in LPS-induced hPDLSCs by mediating the NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and periodontitis share common risk factors such as obesity, insulin resistance (IR), and dyslipidemia, which contribute to systemic inflammation. It has been suggested that a bidirectional relationship exists between NAFLD and periodontitis, indicating that one condition may exacerbate the other. NAFLD is characterized by excessive fat deposition in the liver and is associated with low-grade chronic inflammation. There are several risk factors for the development of NAFLD, including gender, geriatric community, race, ethnicity, poor sleep quality and sleep deprivation, physical activity, nutritional status, dysbiosis gut microbiota, increased oxidative stress, overweight, obesity, higher body mass index (BMI), IR, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), metabolic syndrome (MetS), dyslipidemia (hypercholesterolemia), and sarcopenia (decreased skeletal muscle mass). This systemic inflammation can contribute to the progression of periodontitis by impairing immune responses and exacerbating the inflammatory processes in the periodontal tissues. Furthermore, individuals with NAFLD often exhibit altered lipid metabolism, which may affect oral microbiota composition, leading to dysbiosis and increased susceptibility to periodontal disease. Conversely, periodontitis has been linked to the progression of NAFLD through mechanisms involving systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Chronic periodontal inflammation can release pro-inflammatory cytokines and bacterial toxins into the bloodstream, contributing to liver inflammation and exacerbating hepatic steatosis. Moreover, periodontitis-induced oxidative stress may promote hepatic lipid accumulation and IR, further aggravating NAFLD. The interplay between NAFLD and periodontitis underscores the importance of comprehensive management strategies targeting both conditions. Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and proper oral hygiene practices are crucial for preventing and managing these interconnected diseases. Additionally, interdisciplinary collaboration between hepatologists and periodontists is essential for optimizing patient care and improving outcomes in individuals with NAFLD and periodontitis.
