Pharmacological elevation of sphingosine-1-phosphate by S1P lyase inhibition accelerates bone regeneration after post-traumatic osteomyelitis. J Cell Mol Med 2023; 27:3786-3795. [PMID: 37710406 PMCID: PMC10718149 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.17952] [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: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 08/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Posttraumatic osteomyelitis and the ensuing bone defects are a debilitating complication after open fractures with little therapeutic options. We have recently identified potent osteoanabolic effects of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) signalling and have now tested whether it may beneficially affect bone regeneration after infection. We employed pharmacological S1P lyase inhibition by 4-deoxypyrodoxin (DOP) to raise S1P levels in vivo in an unicortical long bone defect model of posttraumatic osteomyelitis in mice. In a translational approach, human bone specimens of clinical osteomyelitis patients were treated in organ culture in vitro with DOP. Bone regeneration was assessed by μCT, histomorphometry, immunohistology and gene expression analysis. The role of S1P receptors was addressed using S1PR3 deficient mice. Here, we present data that DOP treatment markedly enhanced osteogenesis in posttraumatic osteomyelitis. This was accompanied by greatly improved osteoblastogenesis and enhanced angiogenesis in the callus accompanied by osteoclast-mediated bone remodelling. We also identified the target of increased S1P to be the S1PR3 as S1PR3-/- mice showed no improvement of bone regeneration by DOP. In the human bone explants, bone mass significantly increased along with enhanced osteoblastogenesis and angiogenesis. Our data suggest that enhancement of S1P/S1PR3 signalling may be a promising therapeutic target for bone regeneration in posttraumatic osteomyelitis.

Association of Asymmetric and Symmetric Dimethylarginine with Inflammation in the Population-Based Study of Health in Pomerania. Biomolecules 2023; 13:1612. [PMID: 38002294 PMCID: PMC10669713 DOI: 10.3390/biom13111612] [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: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The amino acids arginine (Arg), asymmetric (ADMA) and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) are related to nitric oxide (NO) metabolism and potential markers of two different disease entities: cardiovascular disease such as atherosclerosis and systemic inflammation in critically ill patients with sepsis. Although very different in their pathophysiological genesis, both entities involve the functional integrity of blood vessels. In this context, large population-based data associating NO metabolites with proinflammatory markers, e.g., white blood cell count (WBC), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and fibrinogen, or cytokines are sparse. We investigated the association of Arg, ADMA and SDMA with WBC, hsCRP, and fibrinogen in 3556 participants of the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP)-TREND study. Furthermore, in a subcohort of 456 subjects, 31 inflammatory markers and cytokines were analyzed. We identified Arg and SDMA to be positively associated with hsCRP (β coefficient 0.010, standard error (SE) 0.002 and 0.298, 0.137, respectively) as well as fibrinogen (β 5.23 × 10-3, SE 4.75 × 10-4 and 0.083, 0.031, respectively). ADMA was not associated with WBC, hsCRP, or fibrinogen. Furthermore, in the subcohort, Arg was inversely related to a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL). SDMA was positively associated with osteocalcin, tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 and 2, and soluble cluster of differentiation 30. Our findings provide new insights into the involvement of Arg, ADMA, and SDMA in subclinical inflammation in the general population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic periodontitis (CP) is a multifactorial, chronic inflammatory disease of microbial etiology that manifests as a result of the dysfunction of the immune mechanism, culminating in the destruction of the alveolar bone of the jaws. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system (CNS), leads to demyelination and degeneration of nerve axons and often causes severe physical and/or cognitive impairment. As CP and MS involve inflammatory mechanisms and immune dysfunction, researchers have attempted to study the association between them. AIM To systematically review the literature on the epidemiological association between CP and MS in adults. METHODS PRISMA 2020 statement was used in the study protocol. The design was done according to the Cochrane methodology. A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane databases; a manual search and evaluation of the gray literature was also performed. The meta-analysis was performed by Review Manager (RevMan) 5.4. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was defined as the effect size of the outcome. Heterogeneity was assessed by Chi-square and I2. The articles evaluated were written in English, without a time limit, concern observational studies (patient-controls) and report the diagnostic criteria of the diseases. Duplicate entries were excluded. To evaluate the reliability of the results of each study, Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) and GRADE tools were used. Two independent reviewers did all evaluations with a resolution of discrepancies by a third. RESULTS Meta-analysis included three observation studies examined 3376 people. MS patients are significantly more likely to be diagnosed with CP than healthy controls (OR 1.93, 95% CI 1.54-2.42, p<0.0001). CONCLUSION A high prevalence of CP was found among MS patients compared with healthy controls. Healthcare professionals should be aware of the association between these pathological entities to provide patients with high-quality care through an effective and holistic diagnostic and therapeutic approach.

Abstract
Oral health is crucial to overall health, and periodontal disease (PDD) is a chronic inflammatory disease. Over the past decade, PDD has been recognized as a significant contributor to systemic inflammation. Here, we relate our seminal work defining the role of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and its receptors (LPARs) in the oral system with findings and parallels relevant to cancer. We discuss the largely unexplored fine-tuning potential of LPA species for biological control of complex immune responses and suggest approaches for the areas where we believe more research should be undertaken to advance our understanding of signaling at the level of the cellular microenvironment in biological processes where LPA is a key player so we can better treat diseases such as PDD, cancer, and emerging diseases.

Abstract
Bone remodelling is a highly active and dynamic process that involves the tight regulation of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and their progenitors to allow for a balance of bone resorption and formation to be maintained. Ageing and inflammation are risk factors for the dysregulation of bone remodelling. Once the balance between bone formation and resorption is lost, bone mass becomes compromised, resulting in disorders such as osteoporosis and Paget's disease. Key molecules in the sphingosine-1-phosphate signalling pathway have been identified for their role in regulating bone remodelling, in addition to its more recognised role in inflammatory responses. This review discusses the accumulating evidence for the different, and, in certain circumstances, opposing, roles of S1P in bone homeostasis and disease, including osteoporosis, Paget's disease, and inflammatory bone loss. Specifically, we describe the current, often conflicting, evidence surrounding S1P function in osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and their precursors in health and disease, concluding that S1P may be an effective biomarker of bone disease and also an attractive therapeutic target for disease.

Abstract
AIM To explore the potential mechanisms of neuroinflammation (microglia, blood-brain barrier [BBB] permeability, and the sphingosine-1-phosphate [S1P] pathways) resulting from the association between periodontitis and depression in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS This pre-clinical in vivo experimental study used Wistar rats, in which experimental periodontitis (P) was induced by using oral gavages with Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum. Then, a chronic mild stress (CMS) model was implemented to induce a depressive-like behaviour, resulting in four groups: P with CMS (P+CMS+), P without CMS (P+CMS-), CMS without P (P-CMS+), and control (P-CMS-). After harvesting brain samples, protein/mRNA expression analyses and fluorescence immunohistochemistry were performed in the frontal cortex (FC). Results were analysed by ANOVA. RESULTS CMS exposure increased the number of microglia (an indicator of neuroinflammation) in the FC. In the combined model (P+CMS+), there was a decrease in the expression of tight junction proteins (zonula occludens-1 [ZO-1], occludin) and an increase in intercellular and vascular cell adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, VCAM-1) and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), suggesting a more severe disruption of the BBB. The enzymes and receptors of S1P were also differentially regulated. CONCLUSIONS Microglia, BBB permeability, and S1P pathways could be relevant mechanisms explaining the association between periodontitis and depression.

Abstract
Background/purpose Recent studies have pointed to the crucial role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in chronic periodontitis (CP). This study investigated the regulation and potential mechanisms of miR-28-5p in CP patients and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs). Materials and methods 76 CP patients and 71 periodontally healthy subjects were included. RT-qPCR was employed to examine miR-28-5p and sphingosine kinase −1 (SPHK1) in subjects’ gingival sulcus fluid and PDLCs. The diagnostic performance was evaluated by measuring the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was adopted to explore the statistical relation between indicators. PDLCs proliferation and inflammation factors were determined by CCK-8 and ELISA assay. The direct target gene was validated by a dual-luciferase reporter assay. Results miR-28-5p was lowly expressed in CP patients and LPS-induced PDLCs (P < 0.05). AUC for miR-28-5p was 0.937, which had certain diagnostic value. Additionally, miR-28-5p was negatively correlated with periodontal clinical indicators and inflammatory factors. Cell proliferation of PDLCs was inhibited and inflammation was promoted under LPS induction, however, elevated miR-28-5p diminished the effect of LPS (P < 0.05). SPHK1 acts as a miR-28-5p target and the elevation of SPHK1 caused by LPS treatment was inhibited by the increased miR-28-5p. Conclusion Present study revealed that miR-28-5p could be served as a potential diagnostic biomarker for CP. And miR-28-5p may participate in CP progression by targeting SPHK1 to regulate the proliferation and inflammation of PDLCs. This study may offer insights into CP treatment and diagnosis.
