Abstract
Periodontitis is one of the most common inflammatory diseases in humans. The susceptibility to periodontitis is largely determined by the host response, and the severity of inflammation predicts disease progression. Upon microbial insults, host cells undergo massive changes in their transcription program to trigger an appropriate response (inflammation). It is not surprising that successful keystone pathogens have developed specific mechanisms to manipulate the gene expression network in host cells. Emerging data has indicated that epigenetic regulation plays a significant role in inflammation. Acetylation of lysine residues on histones is a major epigenetic modification of chromatin, highly associated with the accessibility of chromatin and activation of transcription. Specific histone acetylation patterns are observed in inflammatory diseases including periodontitis. Bromo- and extraterminal domain (BET) proteins recognize acetylated histones and then recruit transcription factors and transcription elongation complexes to chromatin. BET proteins are regulated in inflammatory diseases and small molecules blocking the function of BET proteins are promising "epi-drugs" for treating inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) on salivary histone deacetylases (HDACs) gene expression in patients with Stage III-IV periodontitis at baseline and at 3 and 6 months post NSPT treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty patients completed the study. Periodontitis (as well as the corresponding staging and grading) was diagnosed according to the 2017 World Workshop Classification. Clinical measures were recorded and whole unstimulated saliva was collected at baseline and at 3 and 6 months after NSPT. The expression of 11 HDACs was determined using reverse-transcription PCR, and the respective changes over time were evaluated. RESULTS Six months after NSPT, significant improvements in all clinical periodontal parameters were observed, concomitant with significant up-regulation of HDAC2, 4, 6, 8, 9 and 11 expressions. Subgroup analyses of non-responders and responders revealed no significant differences in HDACs mRNA expression between groups at any time point. CONCLUSIONS This prospective clinical study identified longitudinal changes in salivary HDACs expression in response to NSPT, which provides new insights into the epigenetic mechanisms underlying the pathobiology of periodontitis and creates avenues for the discovery of novel biomarkers.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by dysbiotic biofilms and destructive host immune responses. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are circulating nanoparticles released by microbes and host cells involved in cell-to-cell communication, found in body biofluids, such as saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). EVs are mainly involved in cell-to-cell communication, and may hold promise for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Periodontal research has examined the potential involvement of bacterial- and host-cell-derived EVs in disease pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapy, but data remains scarce on immune cell- or microbial-derived EVs. In this narrative review, we first provide an overview of the role of microbial and host-derived EVs on disease pathogenesis. Recent studies reveal that Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans-derived outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) can activate inflammatory cytokine release in host cells, while M1 macrophage EVs may contribute to bone loss. Additionally, we summarised current in vitro and pre-clinical research on the utilisation of immune cell and microbial-derived EVs as potential therapeutic tools in the context of periodontal treatment. Studies indicate that EVs from M2 macrophages and dendritic cells promote bone regeneration in animal models. While bacterial EVs remain underexplored for periodontal therapy, preliminary research suggests that P. gingivalis OMVs hold promise as vaccine candidates. Finally, we acknowledge the current limitations present in the field of translating immune cell derived EVs and microbial derived EVs in periodontology. It is concluded that microbial and host immune cell-derived EVs have a role in periodontitis pathogenesis and hence may be useful for studying disease pathophysiology, and as diagnostic and treatment monitoring biomarkers.

Clin Oral Investig 2024; 28:75. [PMID: 38175302 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-023-05454-9] [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: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES While the significant roles of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from individual oral bacterial species in bacterial-host interactions are known, the involvement of saliva biofilm-derived OMVs in peri-implant disease pathogenesis remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of saliva biofilm-derived OMVs on regulating saliva biofilm formation and modulating the immune response of the epithelial cells on titanium surfaces. MATERIALS AND METHODS Saliva derived biofilms were cultured on tissue culture plates (TCP) for 4 days using pooled saliva from four healthy donors. OMVs secreted from the TCP bound biofilm (referred to as OMVs or healthy saliva biofilm OMVs) were enriched using the size-exclusion chromatography method. We then evaluated the effects of these OMVs on the viability, metabolic activity, and the presence of oral pathogens in saliva biofilm grown on titanium discs for 24 h and 72 h. Furthermore, the impact of OMVs on the mRNA expression and inflammatory cytokines [interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1α, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)] in human oral epithelial cells (OKF6/TERT-2) was investigated using RT-qPCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respectively. RESULTS Healthy saliva biofilm OMVs improved the biomass and activity of saliva biofilm cultured on the titanium surfaces, with inhibited Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum, and enhanced Streptococcus mutans expression. Additionally, OMVs increased pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 mRNA and IL-6 cytokine expression in human oral epithelial cells. However, IL-1α and MCP-1 cytokines were inhibited 24-hour post-incubation with OMVs. CONCLUSION Healthy saliva biofilm derived OMVs regulate the activity and pathogen composition of biofilms formed on titanium, while modulating the secretion of pro-inflammation factors of oral epithelial cells grown on titanium surfaces. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Healthy saliva biofilm OMVs may regulate the early biofilm formation on abutment surfaces and modulate epithelial cell immune response, which may alter the peri-implant niche and participate in the pathogenesis of peri-implant disease.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine is an interdisciplinary field involving the process of replacing and regenerating cells/tissues or organs by integrating medicine, science, and engineering principles to enhance the intrinsic regenerative capacity of the host. Recently, engineered adult stem cells have gained attention for their potential use in regenerative medicine by reducing inflammation and modulating the immune system. This chapter introduces adult stem cell engineering and chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR T) gene therapy and summarises current engineered stem cell- and extracellular vesicles (EVs)-focused clinical trial studies that provide the basis for the proposal of a personalised medicine approach to diseases diagnosis and treatment.
