Int J Dent Hyg 2024; 22:401-413. [PMID: 38394099 DOI: 10.1111/idh.12789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2023] [Revised: 09/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been considered by many studies to have a bidirectional relationship with periodontitis. This systematic review and network meta-analysis aimed to investigate the impact of different states of T2DM when stratified by baseline HbA1c on the clinical outcomes of non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT). METHODS This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and involved an electronic literature search (from inception to the 2nd of January 2023). The study included at least two groups of patients: chronic periodontitis only (No-DM) or periodontitis and well-controlled/poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (WC/PC-T2DM). Clinical outcomes included probing depth (PD) reduction, bleeding on probing reduction, and clinical attachment level (CAL) gain. Direct and indirect comparisons between groups were assessed by network meta-analysis, thus allowing us to establish a treatment ranking. RESULTS Ten prospective cohort studies (11 data sets) were included for qualitative analysis and network meta-analysis. The data included in this study had high consistency; in addition, a funnel plot and Egger's test showed that the articles had low publication bias. Network meta-analysis showed that the effect of NSPT in the No-DM group was significantly better than the WC-T2DM group [weighted mean difference (WMD) = 0.09, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.01, 0.18)] and the PC-T2DM group [WMD = 0.09, 95% CI (0.01, 0.18)] in terms of CAL gain and better than the PC-T2DM group [WMD = 0.15, 95% CI (0.02, 0.28)] in terms of PD reduction. According to the surface under the cumulative ranking value, the No-DM group had the highest probability of achieving the best outcome following NSPT. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, our analyses show that T2DM exerts significant effects on the outcomes of NSPT.

Exp Cell Res 2024; 437:113999.

Abstract
The heightened prevalence and accelerated progression of periodontitis in individuals with diabetes is primarily attributed to inflammatory responses in human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs). This study is aimed at delineating the regulatory mechanism of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors (NLRs) in mediating inflammation incited by muramyl dipeptide (MDP) in HPDLCs, under the influence of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), metabolic by-products associated with diabetes. We performed RNA-seq in HPDLCs induced by AGEs treatment and delineated activation markers for the receptor of AGEs (RAGE). It showed that advanced glycation end products modulate inflammatory responses in HPDLCs by activating NLRP1 and NLRP3 inflammasomes, which are further regulated through the NF-κB signaling pathway. Furthermore, AGEs synergize with NOD2, NLRP1, and NLRP3 inflammasomes to augment MDP-induced inflammation significantly.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM), characterized by production and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), induces and promotes chronic inflammation in tissues, including periodontal tissue. Increasing amount of epidemiological and experimental evidence demonstrated that more extensive inflammatory reaction and bone resorption occurred in periodontal tissues in diabetic patients with periodontitis, which is speculated to be related to NLRP3 inflammasome. NLRP10 is the only NOD-like receptor protein lacking leucine-rich repeats, suggesting that NLRP10 may be a regulatory protein. The aim of this study was to investigate the regulatory role of NLRP10 on NLRP1 and NLRP3 inflammasome in human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs) under AGEs treatment. Expression of NLRP10 in HPDLCs stimulated with 100 ug/mL AGEs for 24 h was observed. Detection of TRIM31 is conducted, and in TRIM31-overexpressed HPDLCs, the interaction between NLRP10 with TRIM31 as well as NLRP10 with ubiquitination were explored by immunoprecipitation. Under AGEs stimulation, the activation of reactive oxidative stress (ROS) and inflammatory signaling pathway (NF-κB, MAPK pathway) was detected by biomedical microscope and western blot (WB), respectively. After stimulation with AGEs for 24 h with or without silencing NLRP10, inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and IL-1β), NF-κB, MAPK pathway, ROS, and components of inflammasome were assessed. In HPDLCs, we found AGEs induced NLRP10 and inhibited TRIM31. TRIM31 overexpression significantly enhanced interaction between TRIM31 and NLRP10, then induced proteasomal degradation of NLRP10. Moreover, under AGEs stimulation, NLRP10 positively regulates NLRP1, NLRP3 inflammasomes by activating NF-κB, MAPK pathway, and increasing ROS, finally promoting the expression of inflammatory cytokines. Together, we, for the first time, confirmed that NLRP10 could promote inflammatory response induced by AGEs in HPDLCs via activation of NF-κB, and MAPK pathway and increasing ROS.

Abstract
Complications arising from diabetes can threaten multiple organs. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) play a significant role in inducing these complications. Highly processed diets and hyperglycemia facilitate the accumulation of AGEs in the body. Interaction between AGEs and their main receptor (RAGE) initiates the transmission of intracellular inflammatory and cell death signals, which ultimately lead to complications. To counter AGEs-induced damage, we developed an siRNA-binding tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (TDN) system, termed Tsi, which combines the potent cell membrane penetrability and serum stability of TDN with the gene-targeting specificity of siRNA-RAGE. Tsi effectively and persistently downregulates the expression of RAGE, thereby suppressing inflammation by blocking the NF-κB pathway as well as exhibiting antioxidant functions. Furthermore, Tsi regulates the pyroptosis state of macrophages via the NLRP3/caspase-1 axis, which inhibits the spread of cell death signals and maintains homeostasis. This is of great significance for the synergistic treatment strategy for systemic complications in patients with refractory hyperglycemia. In summary, this study describes a nanomedicine that targets the RAGE and suppresses AGE-induced inflammation. This nucleic acid drug holds long-lasting efficacy and is independent of lowering hyperglycemia, which provides a strategy for the treatment of diabetic complications and age-related diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) and periodontitis are two prevalent diseases with mutual influence. Accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in hyperglycemia may impair cell function and worsen periodontal conditions. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is an important post-transcriptional modification in RNAs that regulates cell fate determinant and progression of diseases. However, whether m6A methylation participates in the process of periodontitis with diabetes is unclear. Thus, we aimed to investigate the effects of AGEs on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), elucidate the m6A modification mechanism in diabetes-associated periodontitis. METHODS Periodontitis with diabetes were established by high-fat diet/streptozotocin injection and silk ligation. M6A modifications in alveolar bone were demonstrated by RNA immunoprecipitation sequence. BMSCs treated with AGEs, fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) protein knockdown and sclerostin (SOST) interference were evaluated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blot, immunofluorescence, alkaline phosphatase and Alizarin red S staining. RESULTS Diabetes damaged alveolar bone regeneration was validated in vivo. In vitro experiments showed AGEs inhibited BMSCs osteogenesis and influenced the FTO expression and m6A level in total RNA. FTO knockdown increased the m6A levels and reversed the AGE-induced inhibition of BMSCs differentiation. Mechanically, FTO regulated m6A modification on SOST transcripts, and AGEs affected the binding of FTO to SOST transcripts. FTO knockdown accelerated the degradation of SOST mRNA in presence of AGEs. Interference with SOST expression in AGE-treated BMSCs partially rescued the osteogenesis by activating Wnt Signaling. CONCLUSIONS AGEs impaired BMSCs osteogenesis by regulating SOST in an m6A-dependent manner, presenting a promising method for bone regeneration treatment of periodontitis with diabetes.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a main risk factor for periodontitis, but until now, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Diabetes can increase the pathogenicity of the periodontal microbiota and the inflammatory/host immune response of the periodontium. Hyperglycemia induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and enhances oxidative stress (OS), exacerbating periodontal tissue destruction. Furthermore, the alveolar bone resorption damage and the epigenetic changes in periodontal tissue induced by diabetes may also contribute to periodontitis. We will review the latest clinical data on the evidence of diabetes promoting the susceptibility of periodontitis from epidemiological, molecular mechanistic, and potential therapeutic targets and discuss the possible molecular mechanistic targets, focusing in particular on novel data on inflammatory/host immune response and OS. Understanding the intertwined pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus and periodontitis can explain the cross-interference between endocrine metabolic and inflammatory diseases better, provide a theoretical basis for new systemic holistic treatment, and promote interprofessional collaboration between endocrine physicians and dentists.

Abstract
Apical periodontitis is an inflammatory condition that is considered an immunological reaction of the periapical tissue to invading bacteria and their pathogenic components. Recent research has revealed that NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) is crucial to the pathogenesis of apical periodontitis and serves as a link between innate and adaptive immunity. The balance between regulatory T-cell (Treg) and T helper cell 17 (Th17 cell) determines the direction of the inflammatory response. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether NLRP3 exacerbated periapical inflammation by disturbing Treg/Th17 balance and the underlying regulatory mechanisms. In the present study, NLRP3 was raised in apical periodontitis tissues as opposed to healthy pulp tissues. Low NLRP3 expression in dendritic cells (DCs) increased transforming growth factor β secretion while decreasing interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 production. The Treg ratio and IL-10 secretion rose when CD4+ T cells were cocultured with DCs primed with IL-1β neutralizing antibody (anti-IL-1β) and specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting NLRP3 (siRNA NLRP3), but the proportion of Th17 cells and IL-17 release dropped. Furthermore, siRNA NLRP3-mediated suppression of NLRP3 expression aided Treg differentiation and elevated Foxp3 expression as well as IL-10 production in CD4+ T cells. Inhibition of NLRP3 activity by MCC950 boosted the percentage of Tregs while decreasing the ratio of Th17 cells, leading to reduced periapical inflammation and bone resorption. Nigericin administration, however, exacerbated periapical inflammation and bone destruction with an unbalanced Treg/Th17 response. These findings demonstrate that NLRP3 is a pivotal regulator by regulating the release of inflammatory cytokines from DCs or directly suppressing Foxp3 expression to disturb Treg/Th17 balance, thus exacerbating apical periodontitis.

Abstract
M1/M2 polarization transitions of microglial phenotypes determine the states of neuroinflammation, which is critical in the pathophysiology of diabetic encephalopathy. This study aims to investigate the effects of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on the microglial polarization state, the role of miR-146a-5p in the regulation of microglial polarization, and the underlying signaling pathways. BV-2 cells were incubated with N-ε-carboxymethyl lysine (CML), one kind of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs), to induce polarization. CD11b and iNOS and CD206 and Arg-1 were used to evaluate M1 and M2 microglia, respectively. The mRNA and protein expression levels of miR-146a-5p, transcription factor NF-κB, and inflammasome NLRP3 were measured. High and low expression of miR-146a-5p in the BV-2 cell line was generated by lentivirus transfection technology. RAGE, TLR-4, and NF-κB antagonists were applied to evaluate the underlying signaling pathways. Compared with the control group, CML upregulated the M1 phenotype and downregulated the M2 phenotype. These effects were reversed by overexpression of miR-146a. Furthermore, the expression of inflammasome NLRP3 and NF-κB was upregulated in the CML group and was reduced after miR-146a overexpression. And then overexpression of miR-146a effects was reversed by inhibition miR-146a expression. An NF-κB antagonist (PDTC), a RAGE antagonist (FPS-ZMI), and a TLR-4 antagonist (TLI-095) all reversed the polarization state induced by CML. In summary, CML induced polarization transitions to M1 phenotype and promoted inflammasome NLRP3 expression in BV-2 cells. The RAGE or TLR-4/miR-146a/NLRP3/NF-кB pathway might participate in the regulation of CML-induced BV-2 polarization.

Abstract
The mechanism of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA), which leads to the final erosion of cartilage and subchondral bone, has been widely demonstrated, but still not clearly elucidated. Many studies have pointed that NLRP3-mediated inflammation played a vital role in degenerative diseases. However, its interaction with synovitis of TMJOA has remained poorly investigated. In our study, we explored the role of NLRP3 inflammasome in TMJOA synovitis and the therapeutic potential of caspase-1 and NLRP3 inhibitors. By establishing a rat TMJOA model, we found that NLRP3 was upregulated in synovial tissue of TMJOA. It was involved in the progress of a programmed cell death called pyroptosis, which was caspase-1 dependent and ultimately triggered inflammatory mediator interleukin IL-1β release. Treatment with Ac-YVAD-cmk and MCC950, inhibitors targeting caspase-1 and NLRP3, respectively, significantly suppressed pyroptosis in TMJOA synovial tissue. Then, a macrophage- and fibroblast-like synoviocyte (FLS) cocultured model further verified the above results. Macrophage somehow promoted FLS pyroptosis in this study. Our results suggested that the NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis participated in synovial inflammation of TMJOA. Interfering with the progress could be a potential option for controlling TMJOA development.

Abstract
The inflammatory response of the host in periodontitis is the phenomenon that underlies the onset and evolution of periodontal destructive phenomena. A number of systemic factors, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), can negatively affect the patient with periodontitis, just as the periodontal disease can aggravate the status of the DM patient. Host response modulation therapy involves the use of anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant products aimed at resolving inflammation, stopping destructive processes, and promoting periodontal healing, all important aspects in patients with high tissue loss rates, such as diabetic patients. This paper reviews the data available in the literature on the relationship between DM and periodontitis, the main substances modulating the inflammatory response (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, sub-antimicrobial doses of doxycycline, or omega-3 fatty acids and their products, specialized pro-resolving mediators), as well as their application in diabetic patients.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) accumulation is significantly increased in the dermis of photoaged skin and plays crucial roles in photoaging. Although AGEs have been found to contribute to the yellowish discoloration of photoaged skin, their roles in photoaging-associated hyperpigmentation disorders have not been extensively studied. In this study, we observed that AGEs, NLRP3 and IL-18 were increased in the dermis of sun-exposed skin and lesions of melasma and solar lentigo and that dermal deposition of AGEs was positively correlated with epidermal melanin levels. Additionally, we found AGEs-BSA potently activated NLRP3 inflammasome and promoted IL-18 production and secretion in cultured fibroblasts, which was mediated by RAGE/NF-κB pathway. Moreover, AGEs-BSA significantly promoted melanogenesis through increasing tyrosinase activity and expression of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor and tyrosinase, which was dependent on NLRP3 inflammasome activation and IL-18 secretion in fibroblasts. Notably, AGEs-collagen could activate NLRP3 inflammasome in fibroblasts and enhance melanogenesis. Further, we found IL-18 enhanced melanogenesis through binding to its receptor and activating p38 MAPK and ERK1/2 signaling pathways in melanocytes. Importantly, the pro-melanogenesis of AGEs-BSA was verified in ex vivo cultured skin and mice models. These findings suggest that dermal AGEs stimulate melanogenesis and contribute to the development of photoaging-associated hyperpigmentation disorders.

[PMID: 35218761 DOI: 10.1016/j.joen.2022.01.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2021] [Revised: 01/18/2022] [Accepted: 01/31/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Semaphorin 7A (SEMA7A), the only member of the class VII semaphorin, has been considered as a potent immunomodulatory regulator, whose function in periapical lesions remains unclear. In our previous study, we found that SEMA7A was upregulated in human periapical periodontitis and might be involved in the immune response and tissue destruction of periapical lesions. In this research, we aimed to further explore the specifical regulatory role of SEMA7A as well as its regulatory mechanisms in the inflammatory progression of periapical lesions. METHODS Human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) were collected from intact, caries-free, and healthy third molars and stimulated with recombinant human SEMA7A (rhSEMA7A). Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to detect the mRNA and protein levels of inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in hPDLCs. 20 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: healthy control group, pulp exposure group, pulp exposure and saline treatment group and pulp exposure and rhSEMA7A treatment group. 20 μL sterile saline or 20 μL 200 ng/μL rhSEMA7A were injected respectively into the buccal mucosa around the root apex at day 0, 7, and 14. Mandibular tissues were collected at day 21. Micro-CT and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining were used to identify the bone destruction and inflammatory infiltration in periapical areas. Finally, AKT inhibitor (LY294002) was used to pretreat hPDLCs before rhSEMA7A stimulation to determine the role of AKT signaling activation in this process. RESULTS After treatment with rhSEMA7A, the mRNA and protein levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-18, COX-2, MMP-1, and MMP-3 were remarkably upregulated in hPDLCs. In in vivo experiments, compared with other three groups, the treatment of rhSEMA7A would aggravate the osteolysis of alveolar bone and promote the infiltration of immune cells into the apex area accompanying with the increasing expression level of IL-1β, IL-18, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and MMP-3. Furthermore, we found that the pro-inflammatory role of SEMA7A could be inhibited by the application of AKT inhibitor (LY294002). CONCLUSION SEMA7A likely aggravates the inflammatory reaction and bone destruction of existing periapical lesions. The pro-inflammatory role of SEMA7A in hPDLCs could partially be mediated through the ATK signaling transduction pathway.

Abstract
Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs), the products of the non-enzymatic oxidation of proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, are accumulated in periodontal tissues under hyperglycemic conditions such as Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and are responsible for sustained periodontal destruction. AGEs mediate their intracellular effects either directly or indirectly through receptor binding (via RAGE) in all types of periodontal ligament cells (osteocytes, gingival fibroblasts, stem cells, epithelial cells), indicating an important target for intervention. In combination with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), the negative impact of AGEs on periodontal tissue is further enhanced and accentuated. In addition, AGE accumulation is evident in peri-implantitis, yet through different underlying molecular mechanisms. Novel therapeutic approaches targeting the effects of AGEs in periodontal ligament cells show beneficial effects in pre-clinical studies. Herein, we provide evidence on the detrimental role of AGE accumulation in oral cavity tissues and their associated signaling pathways in periodontitis and peri-implantitis to further highlight the significance of oral or topical use of AGE blockers or inhibitors along with dental biofilms’ removal and DM regulation in patients’ management.

Abstract
Periodontitis and diabetes are two major global health problems despite their prevalence being significantly underreported and underestimated. Both epidemiological and intervention studies show a bidirectional relationship between periodontitis and diabetes. The hypothesis of a potential causal link between the two diseases is corroborated by recent studies in experimental animals that identified mechanisms whereby periodontitis and diabetes can adversely affect each other. Herein, we will review clinical data on the existence of a two-way relationship between periodontitis and diabetes and discuss possible mechanistic interactions in both directions, focusing in particular on new data highlighting the importance of the host response. Moreover, we will address the hypothesis that trained immunity may represent the unifying mechanism explaining the intertwined association between diabetes and periodontitis. Achieving a better mechanistic insight on clustering of infectious, inflammatory, and metabolic diseases may provide new therapeutic options to reduce the risk of diabetes and diabetes-associated comorbidities.

Abstract
Background and aim Periodontitis involves a dynamic disease process, demanding the identification of biomarkers to diagnose the current state of disease activity. Therefore this study assessed the potential of "sTREM-1, IL-1β, and MMP-8" as a short panel of biomarkers of host biological process indicating the inflammatory burden in periodontium and thereby serving as a panel of diagnostic markers in periodontal disease. Methods Sixty eight patients were recruited and allotted into four groups comprising of subjects with clinically healthy gingiva and Stage III/IV Periodontitis with and without type 2 diabetes with HbA1c levels in the range of 6.5-7.9%. Periodontal parameters were measured and full mouth radiographic assessment was done. Whole saliva (unstimulated) samples were collected from all patients and estimation of the levels of markers was done employing ELISA. Results All the three biomarkers were noted to be the lowest in group I (sTREM-1: 75.63 ± 13.77; IL-1β: 15.67 ± 3.39; MMP-8: 85.83 ± 22.32) and highest in group IV (sTREM-1: 138.83 ± 14.89; IL-1β: 39.19 ± 7.20; MMP-8: 201.15 ± 50.32) with statistically significant difference. The difference observed between groups II and III for all the biomarkers assessed were statistically insignificant. The clinical parameters and HbA1c levels had positive correlation with the levels of biomarkers which was statistically significant. Conclusion This study unveils the potential of the short panel of biomarkers ("sTREM-1, IL-1β, and MMP-8") to be used as diagnostic and possible prognostic markers for Periodontitis. It further corroborates the role of type 2 diabetes mellitus in amplifying the diverse processes that result in periodontal destruction.

Abstract
One of the hallmarks of placental dysfunction is the increase of oxidative stress. This process, along with the overexpression of the inflammasome, creates a downward spiral that can lead to a series of severe pregnancy complications. Ferroptosis is a form of iron-mediated cell death involving the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxides. In this study, the rats’ model of oxidative stress abortion was established, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was used to establish a cellular model of placental oxidative stress. RNAi, western blot, and immunofluorescence were used to evaluate the expression of specific markers of ferroptosis and the expression of the inflammasome in placental trophoblast cells. We observed excessive levels of ferroptosis and inflammasome activation in both rats’ model and placental trophoblast cell model of oxidative stress. When the NLRP1 inflammasome was silenced, the expression levels of GSH and Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) were increased, while the expression levels of transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1), acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4), Superoxide dismutase (SOD), and Malondialdehyde (MDA) were decreased. However, when an NLRP1 activator was applied, we observed the opposite phenomenon. We further explored the mechanisms underlying the actions of ferroptosis to inflammasomes. The expression levels of NLRP1, NLRP3, IL-1β, and caspase-1 were positively correlated with the ferroptosis following the application of ferroptosis inhibitor (ferrostatin-1) and ferroptosis activator (erastin). The existence of ferroptosis was demonstrated in the oxidative stress model of placental trophoblast cells; the results also indicate ferroptosis is linked with the expression of NLRP1 inflammasome. These findings may provide a valuable therapeutic target for the pathogenesis of pregnancy-related diseases.

Abstract
Bone remodeling is tightly controlled by osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and osteoblast-mediated bone formation. Fine tuning of the osteoclast-osteoblast balance results in strict synchronization of bone resorption and formation, which maintains structural integrity and bone tissue homeostasis; in contrast, dysregulated bone remodeling may cause pathological osteolysis, in which inflammation plays a vital role in promoting bone destruction. The alveolar bone presents high turnover rate, complex associations with the tooth and periodontium, and susceptibility to oral pathogenic insults and mechanical stress, which enhance its complexity in host defense and bone remodeling. Alveolar bone loss is also involved in systemic bone destruction and is affected by medication or systemic pathological factors. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the osteoimmunological mechanisms involved in the dysregulation of alveolar bone remodeling. The inflammasome is a supramolecular protein complex assembled in response to pattern recognition receptors and damage-associated molecular patterns, leading to the maturation and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and activation of inflammatory responses. Pyroptosis downstream of inflammasome activation also facilitates the clearance of intracellular pathogens and irritants. However, inadequate or excessive activity of the inflammasome may allow for persistent infection and infection spreading or uncontrolled destruction of the alveolar bone, as commonly observed in periodontitis, periapical periodontitis, peri-implantitis, orthodontic tooth movement, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, nonsterile or sterile osteomyelitis of the jaw, and osteoporosis. In this review, we present a framework for understanding the role and mechanism of canonical and noncanonical inflammasomes in the pathogenesis and development of etiologically diverse diseases associated with alveolar bone loss. Inappropriate inflammasome activation may drive alveolar osteolysis by regulating cellular players, including osteoclasts, osteoblasts, osteocytes, periodontal ligament cells, macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils, and adaptive immune cells, such as T helper 17 cells, causing increased osteoclast activity, decreased osteoblast activity, and enhanced periodontium inflammation by creating a pro-inflammatory milieu in a context- and cell type-dependent manner. We also discuss promising therapeutic strategies targeting inappropriate inflammasome activity in the treatment of alveolar bone loss. Novel strategies for inhibiting inflammasome signaling may facilitate the development of versatile drugs that carefully balance the beneficial contributions of inflammasomes to host defense.

Autophagy in the HTR-8/SVneo Cell Oxidative Stress Model Is Associated with the NLRP1 Inflammasome. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:2353504.

Abstract
We investigated whether there was activation of NLRP1 inflammasomes and excessive autophagy in oxidative stress damage. And we further demonstrate whether there is a cascade relationship between the activation of NLRP1 inflammasomes and the phenomenon of excessive autophagy. To observe the expression level of the NLRP1 inflammasome group in the pathological process of trophoblast cell oxidative stress, western blot, immunofluorescence, and qRT-PCR were performed. Autophagy in trophoblast cells after the action of H2O2 was detected by using normal trophoblast cells' NLRP1-specific activator (MDP) as a positive control. The presence of excessive autophagy was determined by comparing it with the autophagy-related proteins in normal trophoblast cells. Through siRNA-NLRP1, we investigated the role of oxidative stress and the NLRP1 inflammasome in autophagy in cells. 100 μmol MDP for 24 hours can be used as the optimal concentration of the NLRP1 activator. In human placental trophoblast oxidative stress, the model group significantly increased the expression level of inflammasome IL-1β, CASP1, and NLRP1, compared with the control group NLRP3, and LC3-II, Beclin-1, ATG5, ATG7, and p62 overactivated the autophagy ability of cells. After the activation of NLRP1, the expression of these inflammasomes increased, accompanied by the decrease in autophagy. After the expression of NLRP1 was silenced by RNAi, the expression of inflammasome IL-1β, CASP1, and NLRP3 was also decreased. Still, the autophagy level was increased, which was manifested by the high expression of LC3-II, Beclin-1, ATG5, and ATG7 and the decrease in p62. Trophoblast cells showed the expression of NLRP1 protein and excessive autophagy under oxidative stress. Simultaneously, the NLRP1 inflammasome of trophoblast cells in the state of oxidative stress was correlated with autophagy. Inflammasome activation and autophagy were shown to be linked and to influence each other mutually. These may also provide new therapeutic targets in a pathological pregnancy.

Abstract
Quercetin (Quer) is a typical antioxidant flavonoid from plants that is involved in bone metabolism, as well as in the progression of inflammatory diseases. Elevated levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), a typical pro-inflammatory cytokine, can affect osteogenesis. In the present study, TNF-α was used to establish an in vitro model of periodontitis. The effects of Quer on, as well as its potential role in the osteogenic response of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) under TNF-α-induced inflammatory conditions and the underlying mechanisms were then investigated. Within the appropriate concentration range, Quer did not exhibit any cytotoxicity. More importantly, Quer significantly attenuated the TNF-α induced the suppression of osteogenesis-related genes and proteins, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mineralized matrix in the hPDLSCs. These findings were associated with the fact that Quer inhibited the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway, as well as the expression of NLRP3 inflammation-associated proteins in the inflammatory microenvironment. Moreover, the silencing of NLRP3 by small interfering RNA (siRNA) was found to protect the hPDLSCs against TNF-α-induced osteogenic damage, which was in accordance with the effects of Quer. On the whole, the present study demonstrates that Quer reduces the impaired osteogenesis of hPDLSCs under TNF-α-induced inflammatory conditions by inhibiting the NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. Thus, Quer may prove to be a potential remedy against periodontal bone defects.

Abstract
The occurrence and development of hyperglycemia‑induced inflammation is associated with increased expression of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and inflammatory factors, including IL‑1β, TNF‑α and IL‑6. Previous studies have reported that the nucleotide‑binding oligomerization domain‑like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome interacts with thioredoxin‑interacting protein (TXNIP) and serves a crucial role in inflammation. FPS‑ZM1 has been identified as target inhibitor of RAGE and has been shown to exert an anti‑inflammatory effect in vitro. However, the underlying mechanism by which FPS‑ZM1 impacts high glucose (HG)‑induced inflammation in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) remains unclear. The present study explored the regulatory effect of FPS‑ZM1 on HG‑induced inflammation in BMSCs. Furthermore, the role of the TXNIP/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway in the regulatory effects of FPS‑ZM1 on HG‑induced inflammation was studied. Cell viability was determined using Cell Counting Kit‑8 and western blotting was used to assess the protein expression levels of RAGE. ELISA was used to determine the levels of inflammatory markers. Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blotting were used to measure the mRNA and protein expression levels of TXNIP, caspase‑1, thioredoxin (TRX), NLRP3 and apoptosis‑related speck‑like protein containing CARD (ASC). The results revealed that in BMSCs, RAGE expression was stimulated by HG, an effect which was reversed by treatment with FPS‑ZM1. In addition, HG activated inflammatory factors, such as TNF‑α, IL‑1β and IL‑6; however, their levels were suppressed when cells were treated with FPS‑ZM1 or the TXNIP/NLRP3 pathway inhibitor, resveratrol (Res). Furthermore, FPS‑ZM1 inhibited the mRNA and protein expression levels of TXNIP, caspase‑1, NLRP3 and ASC, and promoted TRX expression, which was consistent with the effects of Res. These findings indicated that FPS‑ZM1 may attenuate HG‑induced inflammation in BMSCs. Furthermore, the TXNIP/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway mediated the molecular mechanism underlying this effect.
