[PMID: 39273569 PMCID: PMC11394899 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25179622] [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: 07/18/2024] [Revised: 08/21/2024] [Accepted: 08/28/2024] [Indexed: 09/15/2024] Open
Abstract
G protein-coupled receptor (GPR)40 and GPR120 are receptors for medium- and long-chain free fatty acids. It has been well documented that GPR40 and GPR120 activation improves metabolic syndrome (MetS) and exerts anti-inflammatory effects. Since chronic periodontitis is a common oral inflammatory disease initiated by periodontal pathogens and exacerbated by MetS, we determined if GPR40 and GPR120 activation with agonists improves MetS-associated periodontitis in animal models in this study. We induced MetS and periodontitis by high-fat diet feeding and periodontal injection of lipopolysaccharide, respectively, and treated mice with GW9508, a synthetic GPR40 and GPR120 dual agonist. We determined alveolar bone loss, osteoclast formation, and periodontal inflammation using micro-computed tomography, osteoclast staining, and histology. To understand the underlying mechanisms, we further performed studies to determine the effects of GW9508 on osteoclastogenesis and proinflammatory gene expression in vitro. Results showed that GW9508 improved metabolic parameters, including glucose, lipids, and insulin resistance. Results also showed that GW9508 improves periodontitis by reducing alveolar bone loss, osteoclastogenesis, and periodontal inflammation. Finally, in vitro studies showed that GW9508 inhibited osteoclast formation and proinflammatory gene secretion from macrophages. In conclusion, this study demonstrated for the first time that GPR40/GPR120 agonist GW9508 reduced alveolar bone loss and alleviated periodontal inflammation in mice with MetS-exacerbated periodontitis, suggesting that activating GPR40/GPR120 with agonist GW9508 is a potential anti-inflammatory approach for the treatment of MetS-associated periodontitis.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MBS) and periodontitis are distinct conditions with overlapping and unique risk factors. Periodontitis is a chronic destructive disease of the periodontium, driven by alterations in the host immune-inflammatory response to virulent periodontal pathogens. MBS is characterized by various abnormalities, including visceral abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia (low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and high triglyceride (TG) levels), hypertension, and hyperglycemia. These factors collectively increase the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes. Several pro-inflammatory mediators are involved in the pathogenesis of periodontitis and MBS, and the deleterious bidirectional effects of these mediators exacerbate the severity and progression of both conditions. This comprehensive review focuses on the intricate relationship between MBS and periodontitis. Specifically, it explores the pathophysiological mechanisms of each disease component of MBS and its impact on periodontitis, and vice versa.

Abstract
The intricate nature of oral-maxillofacial structure and function, coupled with the dynamic oral bacterial environment, presents formidable obstacles in addressing the repair and regeneration of oral-maxillofacial bone defects. Numerous characteristics should be noticed in oral-maxillofacial bone repair, such as irregular morphology of bone defects, homeostasis between hosts and microorganisms in the oral cavity and complex periodontal structures that facilitate epithelial ingrowth. Therefore, oral-maxillofacial bone repair necessitates restoration materials that adhere to stringent and specific demands. This review starts with exploring these particular requirements by introducing the particular characteristics of oral-maxillofacial bones and then summarizes the classifications of current bone repair materials in respect of composition and structure. Additionally, we discuss the modifications in current bone repair materials including improving mechanical properties, optimizing surface topography and pore structure and adding bioactive components such as elements, compounds, cells and their derivatives. Ultimately, we organize a range of potential optimization strategies and future perspectives for enhancing oral-maxillofacial bone repair materials, including physical environment manipulation, oral microbial homeostasis modulation, osteo-immune regulation, smart stimuli-responsive strategies and multifaceted approach for poly-pathic treatment, in the hope of providing some insights for researchers in this field. In summary, this review analyzes the complex demands of oral-maxillofacial bone repair, especially for periodontal and alveolar bone, concludes multifaceted strategies for corresponding biomaterials and aims to inspire future research in the pursuit of more effective treatment outcomes.

Abstract
The bidirectional association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and periodontitis is now well established, resulting in periodontal disease being considered as the 6th major complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) after car-diovascular disease, eye disease, neuropathy, nephropathy, and peripheral vascular disease. DM can worsen the virulence and invasiveness of pathogenic oral microbial flora aggravating the local inflammation and infection in those with periodontal disease. On the other hand, the chemical and immunological mediators released into the circulation as part of periodontal inflammation worsen the systemic insulin resistance with worsening of T2DM. Periodontitis if undiagnosed or left untreated can also result in eventual tooth loss. A study by Xu et al in the World Journal of Diabetes examined the predictive factors associated with periodontitis in Chinese patients with T2DM. The prevalence of periodontitis was found to be 75.7% in this study. Based on logistic regression analysis, the predictive factors for higher risk were low tooth brushing frequency [odds ratio (OR) = 4.3], high triglycerides (TG; OR = 3.31), high total cholesterol (TC; OR = 2.87), higher glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c; OR = 2.55), and higher age (OR = 1.05) while higher education level was protective (OR = 0.53). However, the most influential variables were HbA1c followed by age, TC, TG, low education level, brushing frequency, and sex on the random forest model (this model showed higher sensitivity for predicting the risk). A good understanding of the predictors for periodontitis in T2DM patients is important in prevention, early detection of susceptible patients, and intervention to improve periodontal health and enable long-term glycaemic control as observed by Xu et al.

Abstract
Abstract Background/purpose It is unclear about whether the guideline-based physical activity (PA) level for cardiovascular health also benefits periodontal health. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the association between guideline-based PA levels and periodontitis in young adults. Materials and methods This was a cross-sectional study which included 334 military participants, aged 18-44 years in Taiwan. The PA level was assessed by total running time per week (wk) in the past 6 months from a self-reported questionnaire, and was classified as moderate intensity PA <150, 150-299, and ≥300 min/wk according to the American guideline for cardiovascular health. Periodontitis was defined based on the 2017 World Workshop. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association with adjustment for age, sex, educational level, tobacco smoking, alcohol intake, body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure and teeth brushing frequency. Results As compared to the PA: 150-299 min/wk, the PA <150 min/wk was associated with a greater possibility of periodontitis (odds ratio (OR): 2.45 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.24-4.82), whereas the PA ≥300 min/wk was not associated with periodontitis (OR: 0.98 (95% CI: 0.13-1.09)) in young adults. Conclusion The guideline-based moderate intensity PA level ≥150 min/wk is found to have superior periodontal health in young adults. However, there is no additional benefit in more exercise time to obtain better periodontal health when the suggested PA level has been achieved.

Abstract
The goal of our study was to create a nomogram to predict the risk of developing hypertension in patients with periodontitis. Our study used data from a total of 3196 subjects from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009 to 2014 who had ever been diagnosed with periodontitis. The data set was randomly divided into a training set and a validation set according to a 7:3 ratio. The data from the training set was utilized to build the prediction model, while the validation set were used to validate the model. To identify the risk variables, stepwise regression was used to perform successive univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. The predictive ability of the nomogram model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve. Calibration plots were used to assess the consistency of the prediction model. The clinical value of the model was evaluated using decision curve analysis and clinical impact curve. A nomogram for the risk of hypertension in subjects with periodontitis was constructed in accordance with the 8 predictors identified in this study. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve values for the training set and validation set were 0.922 (95% confidence interval: 0.911-0.933) and 0.918 (95% confidence interval: 0.900-0.935), respectively, indicating excellent discrimination. The decision curve analysis and clinical impact curve suggested that the model has significant clinical applications, and the calibration plots of the training set and validation set demonstrated good consistency. The nomogram can effectively predict the risk of hypertension in patients with periodontitis and help clinicians make better clinical decisions.

Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the associations between periodontitis and metabolic syndrome (MetS) components and related conditions while controlling for sociodemographics, health behaviors, and caries levels among young and middle-aged adults. We analyzed data from the Dental, Oral, and Medical Epidemiological (DOME) record-based cross-sectional study that combines comprehensive sociodemographic, medical, and dental databases of a nationally representative sample of military personnel. The research consisted of 57,496 records of patients, and the prevalence of periodontitis was 9.79% (5630/57,496). The following parameters retained a significant positive association with subsequent periodontitis multivariate analysis (from the highest to the lowest OR (odds ratio)): brushing teeth (OR = 2.985 (2.739-3.257)), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (OR = 2.188 (1.545-3.105)), cariogenic diet consumption (OR = 1.652 (1.536-1.776)), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) (OR = 1.483 (1.171-1.879)), smoking (OR = 1.176 (1.047-1.322)), and age (OR = 1.040 (1.035-1.046)). The following parameters retained a significant negative association (protective effect) with periodontitis in the multivariate analysis (from the highest to the lowest OR): the mean number of decayed teeth (OR = 0.980 (0.970-0.991)); North America as the birth country compared to native Israelis (OR = 0.775 (0.608-0.988)); urban non-Jewish (OR = 0.442 (0.280-0.698)); and urban Jewish (OR = 0.395 (0.251-0.620)) compared to the rural locality of residence. Feature importance analysis using the eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) machine learning algorithm with periodontitis as the target variable ranked obesity, OSA, and NAFLD as the most important systemic conditions in the model. We identified a profile of the "patient vulnerable to periodontitis" characterized by older age, rural residency, smoking, brushing teeth, cariogenic diet, comorbidities of obesity, OSA and NAFLD, and fewer untreated decayed teeth. North American-born individuals had a lower prevalence of periodontitis than native Israelis. This study emphasizes the holistic view of the MetS cluster and explores less-investigated MetS-related conditions in the context of periodontitis. A comprehensive assessment of disease risk factors is crucial to target high-risk populations for periodontitis and MetS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study evaluated the systemic (intestine and adipose tissue) and local (periodontal tissues) impact of probiotic therapy in rats with metabolic syndrome (MS) associated or not with periodontitis (PE). METHODS Forty-eight rats received a high-fat diet for induction of MS for 16 weeks. They were subdivided into groups with (+) and without (-) PE, receiving (*) or not (**) receiving probiotics (PROB): MS (-**), MSP (-*), MSPE (+**), and MSPEP (+*). PROB administration (Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HN019) started on the 8th week of the study and PE was induced on the 14th week by placing ligature on the animals' lower first molars. Euthanasia occurred in the 16th week. Biomolecular, immunoenzymatic assays, and histomorphometric analyses were performed. The data obtained were statistically analyzed (ANOVA, Tukey, p < 0.05). RESULTS The MSPEP group exhibited reduced alveolar bone loss when compared with the MSPE group, as well as lower levels of hepatic steatosis and proteinuria (p < 0.05). In the intestinal environment, the MSPE group exhibited significantly lower villus height and crypt depth, as well as a greater increase in Bacillota when compared with the MSPEP group (p < 0.05). The MSPEP group showed lower adipokine gene expression (LEPR, NAMPT, and FABP4) in adipose tissue than the MSPE group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The probiotic B. lactis HN019 reduced the severity of experimental periodontitis and modulated the expression of lipogenic genes and intestinal morphological and microbiological parameters in rats with MS.
