Abstract
Metformin is a versatile drug with numerous medical uses. It is known primarily as an anti-hyperglycemic drug that has become the main oral blood-glucose-lowering medication for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus globally. Its use has been reported in a variety of oral conditions and dentistry in general. Recent clinical trials have indicated the effectiveness of adjunct topical application of metformin in improving the periodontal parameters of patients with diabetes and periodontitis. Additionally, studies have suggested that metformin stimulates odontogenic differentiation and mineral synthesis of stem cells in the tooth pulp. Metformin also stimulates osteoblast proliferation, decreases osteoclast activity and exerts regenerative effects on periodontal bone, thus making it a viable candidate for periodontal regeneration. Metformin monotherapy significantly enhances osseointegration of endosseous implants and has been reported to have anti-cancer effects on oral squamous cell carcinoma by impeding tumor progression. Animal studies have indicated that metformin improves orthodontic tooth movement and resists orthodontic appliance corrosion. This narrative review aims to provide a current summary of research highlighting the prospective uses of metformin in dentistry.

Abstract
An essential challenge in diabetic periodontal regeneration is achieving the transition from a hyperglycemic inflammatory microenvironment to a regenerative one. Here, we describe a polydopamine (PDA)-mediated ultralong silk microfiber (PDA-mSF) and metformin (Met)-loaded zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) incorporated into a silk fibroin/gelatin (SG) patch to promote periodontal soft and hard tissue regeneration by regulating the immunomodulatory microenvironment. The PDA-mSF endows the patch with a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging ability and anti-inflammatory activity, reducing the inflammatory response by suppressing M1 macrophage polarization. Moreover, PDA improves periodontal ligament reconstruction via its cell affinity. Sustained release of Met from the Met-ZIF system confers the patch with antiaging and immunomodulatory abilities by activating M2 macrophage polarization to secrete osteogenesis-related cytokines, while release of Zn2+ also promotes bone regeneration. Consequently, the Met-ZIF system creates a favorable microenvironment for periodontal tissue regeneration. These features synergistically accelerate diabetic periodontal bone and ligament regeneration. Thus, our findings offer a potential therapeutic strategy for hard and soft tissue regeneration in diabetic periodontitis.

Abstract
Teeth are a kind of masticatory organs of special histological origin, unique to vertebrates, playing an important role in chewing, esthetics, and auxiliary pronunciation. In the past decades, with the development of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, the studies of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) gradually attracted the interest of researchers. Accordingly, several types of MSCs have been successively isolated in teeth or teeth-related tissues, including dental pulp stem cells, periodontal ligament stem cells, stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth, dental follicle stem cells, stem cells from apical papilla and gingival mesenchymal stem cells. These dental stem cells (DSCs) are easily accessible, possess excellent stem cell characteristics, such as high proliferation rates and profound immunomodulatory properties. Small-molecule drugs are widely used and show great advantages in clinical practice. As research progressed, small-molecule drugs are found to have various complex effects on the characteristics of DSCs, especially the enhancement of biological characteristics of DSCs, which has gradually become a hot issue in the field of DSCs research. This review summarizes the background, current status, existing problems, future research directions, and prospects of the combination of DSCs with three common small-molecule drugs: aspirin, metformin, and berberine.

Abstract
The periodontal ligament is a crucial tissue that provides support to the periodontium. Situated between the alveolar bone and the tooth root, it consists primarily of fibroblasts, cementoblasts, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), and epithelial cell rests of Malassez. Fibroblasts, cementoblasts, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts are functionally differentiated cells, whereas PDLSCs are undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells. The dynamic development of these cells is intricately linked to periodontal changes and homeostasis. Notably, the regulation of programmed cell death facilitates the clearance of necrotic tissue and plays a pivotal role in immune response. However, it also potentially contributes to the loss of periodontal supporting tissues and root resorption. These findings have significant implications for understanding the occurrence and progression of periodontitis, as well as the mechanisms underlying orthodontic root resorption. Further, the regulation of periodontal ligament cell (PDLC) death is influenced by both systemic and local factors. This comprehensive review focuses on recent studies reporting the mechanisms of PDLC death and related factors.

Abstract
Osteogenic differentiation (OD) of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) contributes significantly to the regeneration of bone defects. Resistin, an adipose tissue-specific secretory factor, has been shown to involve many different functions, including metabolism, inflammation, cancer, and bone remodeling. However, the effects and mechanisms of resistin on OD of BMSCs remain unclear. Herein, we demonstrated that resistin was highly expressed in BMSCs with OD. Upregulation of resistin contributed to the progression of OD of BMSCs by activating PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. In addition, resistin facilitated OD by targeting transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ). In a rat femoral condyle bone defect model, local injection of resistin significantly promoted bone repair and improved bone formation. This work contributes to better understanding the mechanism of resistin directly involved in the OD and might provide a new therapeutic strategy for bone defect regeneration.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is an established risk factor for periodontal disease that can aggravate the severity of periodontal inflammation and accelerate periodontal destruction. The chronic high glucose condition is a hallmark of diabetes-related pathogenesis, and has been demonstrated to impair the osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), leading to delayed recovery of periodontal defects in diabetic patients. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are small molecules that can influence cell fate determination and the direction of cell differentiation. Although excessive accumulation of ROS has been found to be associated with high glucose-induced cell damage, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) is an important electron donor and functions as a critical ROS scavenger in antioxidant systems. It has been identified as a key mediator of various biological processes, including energy metabolism and cell differentiation. However, whether NADPH is involved in the dysregulation of ROS and further compromise of PDLSC osteogenic differentiation under high glucose conditions is still not known. In the present study, we found that PDLSCs incubated under high glucose conditions showed impaired osteogenic differentiation, excessive ROS accumulation and increased NADPH production. Furthermore, after inhibiting the synthesis of NADPH, the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs was significantly enhanced, accompanied by reduced cellular ROS accumulation. Our findings demonstrated the crucial role of NADPH in regulating cellular osteogenic differentiation under high glucose conditions and suggested a new target for rescuing high glucose-induced cell dysfunction and promoting tissue regeneration in the future.

Abstract
Although obesity has been proposed as a risk factor for periodontitis, the influence of excessive fat accumulation on the development of periodontitis and periodontal recovery from disease remains largely unknown. This study investigated the cellular response of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) to elevated levels of a specific fatty acid, namely, palmitic acid (PA). The mechanism by which PA exposure compromises the osteogenic potential of cells was also explored. It was found that exposure of PDLSCs to abundant PA led to decreased cell osteogenic differentiation. Given that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a key role in the stem cell response to adverse environmental stimuli, we screened the lncRNAs that were differentially expressed in PDLSCs following PA exposure using lncRNA microarray analysis, and AC018926.2 was identified as the lncRNA that was most sensitive to PA. Next, gain/loss-of-function studies illustrated that AC018926.2 was an important regulator in PA-mediated osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. Mechanistically, AC018926.2 upregulated integrin α2 (ITGA2) expression and therefore activated ITGA2/FAK/AKT signalling. Further functional studies revealed that inactivation of ITGA2/FAK/AKT signalling by silencing ITGA2 counteracted the pro-osteogenic effect induced by AC018926.2 overexpression. Moreover, the results of bioinformatics analysis and RNA immunoprecipitation assay suggested that AC018926.2 might transcriptionally regulate ITGA2 expression by binding to PARP1 protein. Our data suggest that AC018926.2 may serve as a therapeutic target for the management of periodontitis in obese patients.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) dysfunction is a potential contributor to the impaired repair capacity of periodontal tissue in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. Restoring ER homeostasis is thus critical for successful regenerative therapy of diabetic periodontal tissue. Recent studies have shown that metformin can modulate DM-induced ER dysfunction, yet its mechanism remains unclear. Herein, we show that high glucose elevates the intracellular miR-129-3p level due to exocytosis-mediated release failure and subsequently perturbs ER calcium homeostasis via downregulating transmembrane and coiled-coil domain 1 (TMCO1), an ER Ca2+ leak channel, in periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). This results in the degradation of RUNX2 via the ubiquitination-dependent pathway, in turn leading to impaired PDLSCs osteogenesis. Interestingly, metformin could upregulate P2X7R-mediated exosome release and decrease intracellular miR-129-3p accumulation, which restores ER homeostasis and thereby rescues the impaired PDLSCs. To further demonstrate the in vivo effect of metformin, a nanocarrier for sustained local delivery of metformin (Met@HALL) in periodontal tissue is developed. Our results demonstrate that compared to controls, Met@HALL with enhanced cytocompatibility and pro-osteogenic activity could boost the remodeling of diabetic periodontal tissue in rats. Collectively, our findings unravel a mechanism of metformin in restoring cellular ER homeostasis, enabling the development of a nanocarrier-mediated ER targeting strategy for remodeling diabetic periodontal tissue.
