Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the mechanisms underlying the impaired healing response by diabetes after periodontal therapy. BACKGROUND Outcomes of periodontal therapy in patients with diabetes are impaired compared with those in patients without diabetes. However, the mechanisms underlying impaired healing response to periodontal therapy have not been sufficiently investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) and lean (ZL) rats underwent experimental periodontitis by ligating the mandibular molars for one week. The gingiva at the ligated sites was harvested one day after ligature removal, and gene expression was comprehensively analyzed using RNA-Seq. In patients with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D), the corresponding gene expression was quantified in the gingiva of the shallow sulcus and residual periodontal pocket after non-surgical periodontal therapy. RESULTS Ligation-induced bone resorption and its recovery after ligature removal were significantly impaired in the ZDF group than in the ZL group. The RNA-Seq analysis revealed 252 differentially expressed genes. Pathway analysis demonstrated the enrichment of downregulated genes involved in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathway. PPARα and PPARγ were decreased in mRNA level and immunohistochemistry in the ZDF group than in the ZL group. In clinical, probing depth reduction was significantly less in the T2D group than control. Significantly downregulated expression of PPARα and PPARγ were detected in the residual periodontal pocket of the T2D group compared with those of the control group, but not in the shallow sulcus between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Downregulated PPAR subtypes expression may involve the impaired healing of periodontal tissues by diabetes.

Abstract
Periodontal disease (PD) is caused by microbial dysbiosis and accompanying adverse inflammatory responses. Due to its high incidence and association with various systemic diseases, disease-modifying treatments that modulate dysbiosis serve as promising therapeutic approaches. In this study, to simulate the pathophysiological situation, we established a "temporary ligature plus oral infection model" that incorporates a temporary silk ligature and oral infection with a cocktail of live Tannerella forsythia (Tf), Pophyromonas gingivalis (Pg), and Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) in mice and tested the efficacy of a new trivalent mucosal vaccine. It has been reported that Tf, a red complex pathogen, amplifies periodontitis severity by interacting with periodontopathic bacteria such as Pg and Fn. Here, we developed a recombinant mucosal vaccine targeting a surface-associated protein, BspA, of Tf by genetically combining truncated BspA with built-in adjuvant flagellin (FlaB). To simultaneously induce Tf-, Pg-, and Fn-specific immune responses, it was formulated as a trivalent mucosal vaccine containing Tf-FlaB-tBspA (BtB), Pg-Hgp44-FlaB (HB), and Fn-FlaB-tFomA (BtA). Intranasal immunization with the trivalent mucosal vaccine (BtB + HB + BtA) prevented alveolar bone loss and gingival proinflammatory cytokine production. Vaccinated mice exhibited significant induction of Tf-tBspA-, Pg-Hgp44-, and Fn-tFomA-specific IgG and IgA responses in the serum and saliva, respectively. The anti-sera and anti-saliva efficiently inhibited epithelial cell invasion by Tf and Pg and interfered with biofilm formation by Fn. The flagellin-adjuvanted trivalent mucosal vaccine offers a novel method for modulating dysbiotic bacteria associated with periodontitis. This approach leverages the adjuvant properties of flagellin to enhance the immune response, aiming to restore a balanced microbial environment and improve periodontal health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Macrophages play important roles from the initiation of inflammation to wound healing. Two phenotypes of macrophages, namely pro-inflammatory type macrophages (M1-MΦ) and anti-inflammatory type macrophages (M2-MΦ), have been reported. Two contrasting metabolic enzymes that use arginine as a substrate, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and arginase-1 (Arg-1), have been identified as M1-MΦ and M2-MΦ markers, respectively. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the temporal dynamics of the macrophage phenotype during the progression and healing phases of experimental periodontitis in mice. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 63 C57BL/6J mice were divided into the following 3 groups: control (C), periodontitis (P), and healing (H). To induce periodontitis, a silk ligature was placed around the maxillary bilateral second molars of mice in the periodontitis and healing groups. In the healing group, the ligature was removed 3 days after ligation to induce tissue healing. Maxillary tissue was collected on day 0 for the control group, days 1, 3, 5, and 7 for the periodontitis group (P1, P3, P5, and P7), and days 5 and 7 for the healing group (H5 and H7: 3 days with the ligation + 2 days or 4 days following ligature removal). The left side of the maxilla was subjected to bone structure analysis using micro-computed tomography and gene expression analysis using polymerase chain reaction. On the right side, immunohistochemistry was performed to histopathologically evaluate the localization of macrophages by phenotype in the periodontal tissue. RESULTS In the alveolar bone structure analysis, the linear distance of bone height increased significantly in the P5 and P7 groups, whereas bone volume fraction and bone mineral density decreased over time after ligature placement; in the healing group (H5 and H7), these parameters improved significantly compared with the periodontitis group (P5 and P7). Expression of genes encoding pro-inflammatory cytokines and iNOS increased in the periodontitis group, and expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine genes and Arg-1 increased in the healing group. Furthermore, the iNOS/Arg-1 expression ratio increased with ligation, whereas the ratio in the healing groups (H5 and H7) significantly decreased compared with the periodontitis groups (P5 and P7). Immunofluorescence staining revealed a significant increase in the number of iNOS-positive macrophages in the periodontitis group and decrease in the healing group. In contrast, the number of Arg-1-positive macrophages decreased in the periodontitis group and increased in the healing group. CONCLUSION The results of the present study suggest that wound healing in periodontal disease induces macrophage polarization from M1-MΦ to M2-MΦ characterized by iNOS and Arg-1.

Abstract
Local delivery of simvastatin (SIM) has exhibited potential in preventing inflammation and limiting bone loss associated with experimental periodontitis. The primary aim of this study was to analyze transcriptome changes that may contribute to SIM's reduction of periodontal inflammation and bone loss. We evaluate the global genetic profile and signaling mechanisms induced by SIM on experimental periodontitis bone loss and inflammation. Twenty mature female Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to ligature-induced experimental periodontitis around maxillary second molars (M2) either unilaterally (one side untreated, n = 10) or bilaterally (n = 10). After the ligature removal at day 7, sites were injected with either carrier, pyrophosphate (PPi ×3), 1.5-mg SIM-dose equivalent SIM-pyrophosphate prodrug, or no injection. Three days after ligature removal, animals were euthanized; the M1-M2 interproximal was evaluated with μCT, histology, and protein expression. M2 palatal gingiva was harvested for RNA sequencing. Although ligature alone caused upregulation of proinflammatory and bone catabolic genes and proteins, seen in human periodontitis, SIM-PPi upregulated anti-inflammatory (IL-10, IL-1 receptor-like 1) and bone anabolic (insulin-like growth factor, osteocrin, fibroblast growth factor, and Wnt/ β-catenin) genes. The PPi carrier alone did not have these effects. Genetic profile and signaling mechanism data may help identify enhanced pharmacotherapeutic approaches to limit or regenerate periodontitis bone loss. © 2018 The Authors.

Abstract
Proteinase-activated receptors 1 (PAR1) and 2 (PAR2) are the most highly expressed members of the PAR family in the periodontium. These receptors regulate periodontal inflammatory and repair processes through their activation by endogenous and bacterial enzymes. PAR1 is expressed by the periodontal cells such as human gingival fibroblasts, gingival epithelial cells, periodontal ligament cells, osteoblasts, and monocytic cells and can be activated by thrombin, matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1), MMP-13, fibrin, and gingipains from Porphyromonas gingivalis. PAR2 is expressed by neutrophils, osteoblasts, oral epithelial cells, and human gingival fibroblasts, and its possible activators in the periodontium are gingipains, neutrophil proteinase 3, and mast cell tryptase. The mechanisms through which PARs can respond to periodontal enzymes and result in appropriate immune responses have until recently been poorly understood. This review discusses recent findings that are beginning to identify a cardinal role for PAR1 and PAR2 on periodontal tissue metabolism.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are chronic inflammatory diseases that affect a large segment of society. Coronary heart disease (CHD), the most common cardiovascular disease, progresses over several years and affects millions of people worldwide. Chronic infections may contribute to the systemic inflammation and enhance the risk for CHD. Periodontitis is one of the most common chronic infections that affects up to 50% of the adult population. Under inflammatory conditions the activation of endogenous degradation pathways mediated by immune responses leads to the release of destructive cellular molecules from both resident and immigrant cells. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their regulators can activate each other and play an important role in immune response via degrading extracellular matrix components and modulating cytokines and chemokines. The action of MMPs is required for immigrant cell recruitment at the site of inflammation. Stimulated neutrophils represent the major pathogen-fighting immune cells that upregulate expression of several proteinases and oxidative enzymes, which can degrade extracellular matrix components (e.g. MMP-8, MMP-9 and neutrophil elastase). The activity of MMPs is regulated by endogenous inhibitors and/or candidate MMPs (e.g. MMP-7). The balance between MMPs and their inhibitors is thought to mirror the proteolytic burden. Thus, neutrophil-derived biomarkers, including myeloperoxidase, may activate proteolytic destructive cascades that are involved in subsequent immune-pathological events associated with both periodontitis and CHD. Here, we review the existing studies on the contribution of MMPs and their regulators to the infection-related pathology. Also, we discuss the possible proteolytic involvement and role of neutrophil-derived enzymes as an etiological link between chronic periodontitis and CHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Protease activated receptor type 1 (PAR1 ) seems to play a role in periodontal repair, while PAR2 is associated with periodontal inflammation. As diabetes is a known risk factor for periodontal disease, the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of type 2 diabetes on PAR1 and PAR2 mRNA expression in the gingival crevicular fluid of patients with chronic periodontitis before and after non-surgical periodontal treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS Gingival crevicular fluid samples and clinical parameters consisting of measuring probing depth, clinical attachment level, bleeding on probing and plaque index were collected from systemically healthy patients and patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic periodontitis, at baseline and after non-surgical periodontal therapy. PAR1 and PAR2 , as well as the presence of the proteases RgpB gingipain and neutrophil proteinase-3 were assessed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction in the gingival crevicular fluid. RESULTS The periodontal clinical parameters significantly improved after periodontal therapy (p < 0.01). Diabetes led to increased expression of PAR1 in gingival crevicular fluid, and in the presence of chronic periodontitis, it significantly decreased the expression of PAR1 and PAR2 (p < 0.05). Moreover, non-surgical periodontal treatment in diabetics resulted in increased expression of PAR1 and PAR2 (p < 0.05), and decreased expression of RgpB gingipain and proteinase-3 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The present data demonstrated that diabetes was associated with an altered expression of PAR1 and PAR2 in the gingival crevicular fluid cells of subjects with chronic periodontitis. Future studies are necessary to elucidate the effects of PAR1 upregulation in periodontally healthy sites and PAR2 downregulation in chronic periodontitis sites on the increased susceptibility and severity of periodontitis in diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Protease activated receptor-1 (PAR1) activation by thrombin may play a role in repair and homeostasis of periodontal tissues. The main objective of this study is to investigate PAR1 expression in patients with periodontitis, before and after non-surgical periodontal treatment, and to associate its expression with the presence of inflammatory biomarkers and PAR2 expression. METHODS Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples and clinical parameters, including probing depth, clinical attachment level, bleeding on probing, and gingival and plaque indices, were collected from periodontally healthy individuals and patients with moderate chronic periodontitis (CP) before and 6 weeks after periodontal non-surgical treatment. PAR1 and PAR2 messenger RNA (mRNA) at the GCF were evaluated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Flow cytometry analysis identified the GCF PAR1-expressing cells. GCF inflammatory biomarkers were also determined. RESULTS Clinical parameters were significantly improved after therapy (P <0.01). The qPCR analysis showed that, before therapy, PAR1 mRNA levels in CP were similar to controls. Periodontal treatment led to increased PAR1 expression in CP (P <0.05). PAR1 expression was inversely correlated to PAR2 expression and with interleukins 6 and 8, tumor necrosis factor-α, interferon-γ, and matrix metalloproteinase-2 levels. CONCLUSIONS Periodontal treatment results in PAR1 overexpression in the GCF, and PAR1 expression is associated with decreased expression of inflammatory biomarkers and inversely correlated to PAR2 expression in the GCF. Therefore, the data suggest the importance of PAR1 mediating the known anabolic actions of thrombin in the periodontium.
