Disorganisation of basement membrane zone architecture impairs melanocyte residence in vitiligo. J Pathol 2024; 264:30-41. [PMID: 38989633 DOI: 10.1002/path.6321] [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: 12/12/2023] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024]
Abstract
The basement membrane zone is the interface between the epidermis and dermis, and it is disrupted in several skin conditions. Here, we report the results of a comprehensive investigation into the structural and molecular factors of the basement membrane zone in vitiligo, a dermatological disorder characterised by depigmented patches on the skin. Using electron microscopy and immunofluorescence staining, we confirmed abnormal basement membrane zone morphology and disrupted basement membrane zone architecture in human vitiliginous skin. Furthermore, we identified elevated expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) in human dermal fibroblasts as a key factor responsible for basement membrane zone matrix degradation. In our in vitro and ex vivo models, overexpression of MMP2 in fibroblasts led to basement membrane zone disruption and melanocyte disappearance. Importantly, we reveal that the loss of melanocytes in vitiligo is primarily linked to their weakened adhesion to the basement membrane, mediated by binding between integrin β1 and laminin and discoidin domain receptor 1 and collagen IV. Finally, inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase 2 expression reversed depigmentation in a mouse model of vitiligo. In conclusion, our research shows the importance of basement membrane zone integrity in melanocyte residence and offers new avenues for therapeutic interventions to address this challenging skin condition. © 2024 The Author(s).

Balagani A, Tariq F, Zaheer M. Adult-Onset PFAPA Syndrome: Successful Management with Colchicine. AMERICAN JOURNAL OF CASE REPORTS 2024; 25:e943658. [PMID: 39205369 PMCID: PMC11370285 DOI: 10.12659/ajcr.943658] [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: 12/31/2023] [Revised: 07/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome is an autoinflammatory fever syndrome primarily seen in children under age 5 years, and its etiology is unknown. Most cases are resolved by the age of 10 years, and it is rare in adults. PFAPA is characterized by recurrent episodes of fever associated with pharyngitis, stomatitis, and cervical adenitis, although not all clinical features are present at initial evaluation. Diagnosis is made clinically, as there are no specific biomarkers available. Treatment includes prednisone, colchicine, interleukin-1 blockers, and tonsillectomy. We report a case of adult-onset PFAPA syndrome that responded to colchicine. CASE REPORT A 22-year-old woman presented to the Rheumatology Clinic for evaluation of recurrent fevers associated with sore throat and enlarged painful cervical lymph nodes. She was symptom-free between the episodes. Workup for infectious causes and autoinflammatory/autoimmune diseases was unremarkable. Various differential diagnoses were considered, due to her unusual presentation. After all were ruled out, PFAPA was diagnosed based on her symptoms, and she started steroids, to which she had a dramatic response and resolution of symptoms. She was then transitioned to oral colchicine, which significantly decreased flare frequency. CONCLUSIONS Being aware of PFAPA syndrome in adults is vital. A timely diagnosis can significantly improve a patient's quality of life. This case highlights the importance of considering PFAPA syndrome in the differential diagnosis of periodic febrile illnesses in adults and the role of Colchicine as prophylaxis. Larger studies are needed to understand etiopathogenesis better and develop other effective therapeutics.

[PMID: 39210600 DOI: 10.1002/jper.24-0114] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The polarization of macrophages into an anti-inflammatory phenotype is crucial for resolving periodontal inflammation. It has been reported that B10 cells can regulate the immune response of macrophages during inflammation and are also able to regulate inflammation in periodontitis. However, whether B10 cells' regulation function in periodontitis is related to macrophage polarization remains unclear. This study aims to investigate whether B10 cells can regulate macrophage polarization in periodontitis. METHODS Macrophages were cocultured with B10 cells in vitro for 5 days. After coculture, macrophages were obtained for analysis directly or followed by stimulation with Pg-LPS/IFN-γ or IL-4/IL-13. Flow cytometry and/or reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were employed to detect the expression of IL-1β, iNOS, TNF-α, CD206, and ARG-1 in macrophages. B10 cells were transferred on the 5th day after ligation in wild or macrophage-depletion mice. Toluidine blue and TRAP staining were used to evaluate alveolar bone resorption and osteoclast activation. Immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the expression of CD68, IL-1β, TNF-α, iNOS, ARG-1, and IL-10. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of CD68+CD86+M1 macrophages and CD68+CD206+M2 macrophages. RESULTS In vitro, B10 cells inhibit the expression of IL-1β, iNOS, and TNF-α in macrophages while increasing the expression of CD206 and ARG-1. In experimental periodontitis, B10 cells inhibit the polarization of CD68+CD86+M1 macrophages and iNOS expression but enhance the polarization of CD68+CD206+M2 macrophages and ARG-1 expression. Importantly, the depletion of macrophages partially weakened the regulation function of B10 cells in periodontitis. CONCLUSIONS B10 cells promote M2 macrophage polarization, inhibit M1 macrophage polarization in periodontitis, and alleviate periodontitis partially by regulating macrophage polarization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fixed dental prostheses (FDP) can affect the production of inflammatory cytokines causing damage to periodontal tissues. A systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out with the following two objectives: (1) to determine the prevalence and function of the different inflammatory cytokines present in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of teeth with metal-ceramic (M/C) and all-ceramic (A-Cs) prostheses, and (2) to analyze and compare the levels of inflammatory cytokines in GCF of teeth with M/C and A-Cs prostheses. METHODS The protocol followed PRISMA and Cochrane guidelines and was registered in the OSF:10.17605/OSF.IO/RBHJU. A digital search was conducted in the databases PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source, Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, from July 15th, 2000 to March 1st, 2024. Study quality was assessed using the JBI tool for cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. A meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model to evaluate the concentration of IL-1β in GCF of teeth with FDP of M/C and A-Cs. RESULTS The search strategy provided a total of 8,172 articles, of which 14 investigations met the inclusion criteria. The total number of patients studied was 468 of whom 53% were women and the rest (47%) were men. The ages of the patients ranged from 19 to 73 years, with a mean age ± standard deviation (SD) of 38,5 ± 12,8 years. A total of 843 fixed dental prostheses were studied, of which 407 (48,27%) were M/C prostheses and 410 (48,63%) were A-Cs prostheses. We found that the levels of IL-1β, IL-1α, PGE2, NKA, CGRP, and CX3CL1 were increased in teeth with M/C prostheses compared to teeth with A-Cs prostheses. Meta-analysis revealed that there are no significant differences between IL-1β levels in GCF in teeth with M/C prostheses compared to teeth with A-Cs prostheses (SMD = 13.89 pg/ml (CI = -14.29-42.08), p = > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS A trend toward increased levels of inflammatory cytokines was found in GCF of teeth with M/C prostheses compared to teeth with A-Cs prostheses.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a severe gum infection leading to chronic inflammation in the gums, damage of tissues around teeth, and destruction of alveolar bones. Porphyromonas gingivalis is the major causative pathogen that induces periodontitis. Numerous probiotic bacteria are reported to produce antibacterial substances against pathogens especially oral pathogens, and these are proposed as preventive measures for periodontitis. In this study, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei LMT18-32 was evaluated and its antibacterial activity against P. gingivalis, and antioxidant activity in vitro were established. In addition, when L. paracasei LMT18-32 was administered to periodontitis induced mice, it successfully alleviated the alveolar bone loss and suppressed induced expression of proinflammatory and tissue destruction related genes in the gingival tissue. In conclusion, L. paracasei LMT18-32 is proposed as a potential probiotics to prevent periodontitis.

Abstract
Introduction Periodontal bone resorption is a significant dental problem causing tooth loss and impaired oral function. It is influenced by factors such as bacterial plaque, genetic predisposition, smoking, systemic diseases, medications, hormonal changes, and poor oral hygiene. This condition disrupts bone remodeling, favoring resorptive processes. Variational autoencoders (VAEs) can learn the distribution of drug-gene interactions from existing data, identify potential drug targets, and predict therapeutic effects. This study investigates the generation of drug-gene interactions in periodontal bone resorption using VAEs. Methods A bone resorptive drugs dataset was retrieved from Probes and Drugs and analyzed using Cytoscape (https://cytoscape.org/) and CytoHubba (https://apps.cytoscape.org/apps/cytohubba), powerful tools for studying drug-gene interactions in bone resorption. The dataset was then prepared for matrix representation, with normalized input data. It was subsequently divided into training, validation, and testing sets. We then built an encoder-decoder network, defined a loss function, optimized parameters, and fine-tuned hyperparameters. Using VAEs, we generated new drug-gene interactions, assessed model performance, and visualized the latent space with reconstructed drug-gene interactions for further insights. Results The analysis revealed the top hub genes in drug-gene interactions, including Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) 14, MMP 9, HIF1A, STAT1, MAPT, CAS9, MMP2, CASP3, MMP1, and MAK1. The VAE's reconstruction accuracy was measured using mean squared error (MSE), with an average squared difference of 0.077. Additionally, the KL divergence value was 2.349, and the average reconstruction log-likelihood was -246. Conclusion The generative variational encoder model for drug-gene interactions in bone resorption demonstrates high accuracy and reliability in representing complex drug-gene relationships within this context.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the supporting structures of the teeth, including the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Periodontal disease is due to an immune response that stimulates gingivitis and periodontitis, and its systemic consequences. This immune response is triggered by bacteria and may be modulated by environmental conditions such as smoking or systemic disease. Recent advances in single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) and in vivo animal studies have provided new insight into the immune response triggered by bacteria that causes periodontitis and gingivitis. Dysbiosis, which constitutes a change in the bacterial composition of the microbiome, is a key factor in the initiation and progression of periodontitis. The host immune response to dysbiosis involves the activation of various cell types, including keratinocytes, stromal cells, neutrophils, monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells and several lymphocyte subsets, which release pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Periodontal disease has been implicated in contributing to the pathogenesis of several systemic conditions, including diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease. Understanding the complex interplay between the oral microbiome and the host immune response is critical for the development of new therapeutic strategies for the prevention and treatment of periodontitis and its systemic consequences.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been identified as agents that disintegrate the collagen structures of dental hybrid layers, resulting in reduced restorative bond strength. Multiple MMP inhibitors (MMPIs) are known to counteract this degenerative mechanism, thereby preserving bond strength and promoting the longevity of resin-based restorations. Additionally, literature suggests that certain MMPI materials possess antimicrobial/anticariogenic properties, potentially reducing the risk of secondary caries development. Therefore, this review article aims to narrate on the integration of matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors into adhesive systems and their impact on bond strength.

Abstract
Various mechanical loadings, including mechanical stress, orthodontics forces, and masticatory force, affect the functions of periodontal ligament cells. Regulation of periodontal tissue destruction, formation, and differentiation functions are crucial processes for periodontal regeneration therapy. Numerous studies have reported that different types of mechanical loading play a role in maintaining periodontal tissue matrix homeostasis, and osteogenic differentiation of the periodontal ligament cells. This scoping review aims to evaluate the studies regarding the effects of various mechanical loadings on the secretion of extracellular matrix (ECM) components, regulation of the balance between formation and destruction of periodontal tissue matrix, osteogenic differentiation, and multiple differentiation functions of the periodontal ligament. An electronic search for this review has been conducted on two databases; MEDLINE via PubMed and SCOPUS. Study selection criteria included original research written in English that reported the effects of different mechanical loadings on matrix homeostasis and differentiation potential of periodontal ligament cells. The final 204 articles were mainly included in the present scoping review. Mechanical forces of the appropriate magnitude, duration, and pattern have a positive influence on the secretion of ECM components such as collagen, as well as regulate the secretion of matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases. Additionally, these forces regulate a balance between osteoblastic and osteoclast differentiation. Conversely, incorrect mechanical loadings can lead to abnormal formation and destruction of both soft and hard tissue. This review provides additional insight into how mechanical loadings impact ECM homeostasis and multiple differentiation functions of periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs), thus making it valuable for regenerative periodontal treatment. In combination with advancing technologies, the utilization of ECM components, application of different aspects of mechanical force, and differentiation potential of PDLCs could bring potential benefits to future periodontal regeneration therapy.

Abstract
COVID-19 as a pan-epidemic is waning but there it is imperative to understand virus interaction with oral tissues and oral inflammatory diseases. We review periodontal disease (PD), a common inflammatory oral disease, as a driver of COVID-19 and oral post-acute-sequelae conditions (PASC). Oral PASC identifies with PD, loss of teeth, dysgeusia, xerostomia, sialolitis-sialolith, and mucositis. We contend that PD-associated oral microbial dysbiosis involving higher burden of periodontopathic bacteria provide an optimal microenvironment for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. These pathogens interact with oral epithelial cells activate molecular or biochemical pathways that promote viral adherence, entry, and persistence in the oral cavity. A repertoire of diverse molecules identifies this relationship including lipids, carbohydrates and enzymes. The S protein of SARS-CoV-2 binds to the ACE2 receptor and is activated by protease activity of host furin or TRMPSS2 that cleave S protein subunits to promote viral entry. However, PD pathogens provide additional enzymatic assistance mimicking furin and augment SARS-CoV-2 adherence by inducing viral entry receptors ACE2/TRMPSS, which are poorly expressed on oral epithelial cells. We discuss the mechanisms involving periodontopathogens and host factors that facilitate SARS-CoV-2 infection and immune resistance resulting in incomplete clearance and risk for 'long-haul' oral health issues characterising PASC. Finally, we suggest potential diagnostic markers and treatment avenues to mitigate oral PASC.

Abstract
Members of the interleukin (IL) family are closely linked to cancer development and progression. However, research on the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) related to IL is still lacking. This study investigated new CRC prognostic markers and offered new insights for CRC prognosis and treatment. CRC-related data and IL gene data were collected from public databases. Sample clustering was done with the NMF package to divide samples into different subtypes. Differential, enrichment, survival, and immune analyses were conducted on subtypes. A prognostic model was constructed using regression analysis. Drug sensitivity analysis was performed using GDSC database. Western blot analysis was performed to assess the effect of IL-7 on the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. Flow cytometry was used to examine the impact of IL-7 on CD8+ T cell apoptosis. Two CRC subtypes based on IL-associated genes were obtained. Cluster 1 had a higher survival rate than cluster 2, and they showed differences in some immune levels. The two clusters were mainly enriched in the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, T helper 17 cell differentiation, and the IL-17 signaling pathway. An 11-gene signature was built, and risk score was an independent prognosticator for CRC. The low-risk group showed a higher sensitivity to nine common targeted anticancer drugs. Western blot and flow cytometry results demonstrated that IL-7 could phosphorylate STAT5 and promote survival of CD8+ T cells. In conclusion, this study divided CRC samples into two IL-associated subtypes and obtained an 11-gene signature. In addition, targeted drugs that may improve the prognosis of patients with CRC were identified. These findings are of paramount importance for patient prognosis and CRC treatment.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We identified two clusters with significant survival differences in colorectal cancer (CRC) based on interleukin-related genes, constructed an 11-gene risk score model that can independently predict the prognosis of CRC, and explored some targeted drugs that may improve the prognosis of patients with CRC. The results of this study have important implications for the prognosis and treatment of CRC.

JOURNAL OF PHARMACY AND BIOALLIED SCIENCES 2024; 16:S1110-S1119. [PMID: 38882867 PMCID: PMC11174327 DOI: 10.4103/jpbs.jpbs_1118_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Inflammatory chemicals are released by the immune system in response to any perceived danger, including irritants and pathogenic organisms. The caspase activation and the response of inflammation are governed by inflammasomes, which are sensors and transmitters of the innate immune system. They have always been linked to swelling and pain. Research has mainly concentrated on the NOD-like protein transmitter 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. Interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-18 are pro-inflammatory cytokines that are activated by the NOD-like antibody protein receptor 3 (NLRP3), which controls innate immune responses. The NLRP3 inflammasome has been associated with gum disease and other autoimmune inflammatory diseases in several studies. Scientists' discovery of IL-1's central role in the pathophysiology of numerous autoimmune disorders has increased public awareness of these conditions. The first disease to be connected with aberrant inflammasome activation was the autoinflammatory cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS). Targeted therapeutics against IL-1 have been delayed in development because their underlying reasons are poorly understood. The NLRP3 inflammasome has recently been related to higher production and activation in periodontitis. Multiple periodontal cell types are controlled by the NLRP3 inflammasome. To promote osteoclast genesis, the NLRP3 inflammasome either increases receptor-activator of nuclear factor kappa beta ligand (RANKL) synthesis or decreases osteoclast-promoting gene (OPG) levels. By boosting cytokines that promote inflammation in the periodontal ligament fibroblasts and triggering apoptosis in osteoblasts, the NLRP3 inflammasome regulates immune cell activity. These findings support further investigation into the NLRP3 inflammasome as a therapeutic target for the medical treatment of periodontitis. This article provides a short overview of the NLRP3 inflammatory proteins and discusses their role in the onset of autoinflammatory disorders (AIDs) and periodontitis.

Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To analyze anti-MMP mode of action of Quaternary Ammonium Silane (QAS, codenamed as k21) by binding onto specific MMP site using computational molecular simulation and Anti-Sortase A (SrtA) mode of action by binding onto specific site using computational molecular simulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS In silico Molecular Dynamics (MD) was used to determine the interactions of K21 inside the pocket of the targeted protein (crystal structure of fibroblast collagenase-1 complexed to a diphenyl-ether sulphone based hydroxamic acid; PDB ID: 966C; Crystal structure of MMP-2 active site mutant in complex with APP-derived decapeptide inhibitor. MD simulations were accomplished with the Desmond package in Schrödinger Drug Discovery Suite. Blood samples (~ 0.5 mL) collected into K2EDTA were immediately transferred for further processing using the Litron MicroFlow® PLUS micronucleus analysis kit for mouse blood according to the manufacturer's instructions. Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test of K21 Molecule was performed to evaluate K21 and any possible metabolites for their potential to induce point mutations in amino acid-requiring strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli) (WP2 uvrA (tryptophan-deficient)). RESULTS Molecular Simulation depicted that K21 has a specific pocket binding on various MMPs and SrtA surfaces producing a classical clouting effect. K21 did not induce micronuclei, which are the result of chromosomal damage or damage to the mitotic apparatus, in the peripheral blood reticulocytes of male and female CD-1 mice when administered by oral gavage up to the maximum recommended dose of 2000 mg/kg. The test item, K21, was not mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 and E. coli strain WP2 uvrA in the absence and presence of metabolic activation when tested up to the limit of cytotoxicity or solubility under the conditions of the test. CONCLUSION K21 could serve as a potent protease inhibitor maintaining the physical and biochemical properties of dental structures.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a complex condition. Left untreated, it leads to tooth loss and the need for prosthetic treatment. The incidence of periodontitis is steadily increasing, so new methods are being sought to aid in the diagnosis of the disease. Among the methods postulated is the determination of concentrations of bioactive compounds which include extracellular matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). These enzymes are present in various structural elements of the stomatognathic system. The most promising enzyme of this group appears to be metalloproteinase 8 (MMP-8). MMP-8 assays are performed in gingival fluid or saliva, and MMP-8 levels have been shown to be higher in patients with periodontitis compared to healthy subjects and correlated with some clinical parameters of the condition and the severity of the disease. In addition, the preliminary usefulness of this enzyme in evaluating the effectiveness of periodontal treatment and doxycycline therapy has been demonstrated. Determination of the active form of MMP-8 (aMMP-8) in oral rinse fluid using off-the-shelf assays shows the highest potential. Despite reports about aMMP-8 and promising data on the role of MMP-8 in periodontal diagnosis, a clear determination of the usefulness of this enzyme requires further research.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex non-cellular three-dimensional macromolecular network present within all tissues and organs, forming the foundation on which cells sit, and composed of proteins (such as collagen), glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, minerals, and water. The ECM provides a fundamental framework for the cellular constituents of tissue and biochemical support to surrounding cells. The ECM is a highly dynamic structure that is constantly being remodeled. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are among the most important proteolytic enzymes of the ECM and are capable of degrading all ECM molecules. MMPs play a relevant role in physiological as well as pathological processes; MMPs participate in embryogenesis, morphogenesis, wound healing, and tissue remodeling, and therefore, their impaired activity may result in several problems. MMP activity is also associated with chronic inflammation, tissue breakdown, fibrosis, and cancer invasion and metastasis. The periodontium is a unique anatomical site, composed of a variety of connective tissues, created by the ECM. During periodontitis, a chronic inflammation affecting the periodontium, increased presence and activity of MMPs is observed, resulting in irreversible losses of periodontal tissues. MMP expression and activity may be controlled in various ways, one of which is the inhibition of their activity by an endogenous group of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), as well as reversion-inducing cysteine-rich protein with Kazal motifs (RECK).

Abstract
Background/purpose Oral lichen planus (OLP) may contribute to the risk of chronic periodontitis, and no reports have shown whether OLP patients with periodontitis have a greater risk of oral precancerous lesions, Candida infection or other clinicopathological diseases. This study aimed to assess the risk factors for the development of oral precancerous lesions in a cohort of 293 OLP patients with or without chronic periodontitis in southern Taiwan. Materials and methods The current study recruited 293 OLP patients without preexisting periodontitis at a tertiary institution from 1995 to 2018. The patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of periodontitis. The study compared various clinical and pathological characteristics between the two groups, and also estimated the odds ratio (OR) and the 10-year cumulative risk of chronic periodontitis in OLP patients using logistic regression models and Kaplan‒Meier analysis methods, respectively. Results After adjusting for age and gender, the significant contributors to oral precancerous lesions in OLP patients (P < 0.05) were periodontal disease (OR = 2.24) and the male gender (OR = 7.52). Betel nut consumption (OR = 2.61), smoking (OR = 2.46), and candidiasis infection (OR = 3.02) also showed significant associations. Older OLP patients had a lower lesion risk, while a longer OLP duration heightened the periodontal disease likelihood. Conclusion The present study demonstrated that coexisting periodontal disease increases the likelihood of developing precancerous lesions in patients with OLP. Periodontal management with oral hygiene care and quitting betel nut consumption and smoking can reduce the risk.

Abstract
Chronic wounds can be classified as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, or venous leg ulcers. Chronic wound management has become a threat to clinicians and constitutes a major healthcare burden. The healing process of chronic wounds requires many factors to work in concert to achieve optimal healing. Various treatment options, ranging from hypoxia to infection, have evolved considerably to address the challenges associated with chronic wound healing. The conventional and accelerating treatments for chronic wounds still represent an unmet medical need due to the complex pathophysiology of the chronic wound microenvironment. In clinical settings, traditional chronic wound care practices rely on nonspecific topical treatment, which can reduce pain and alleviate disease progression with varying levels of success but fail to completely cure the wounds. Conventional wound dressings, such as hydrocolloids, gauze, foams, and films, have also shown limited success for the treatment of chronic wounds and only act as a physical barrier and absorb wound exudates. Emerging advances in treatment approaches, including novel therapies (stem cells, microRNAs, and nanocarrier-based delivery systems) and multifunctional biological dressings, have been reported for chronic wound repair. This review summarizes the challenges offered by chronic wounds and discusses recent advancements in chronic wound treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated serum levels of MMP-13 are linked to tumor growth and metastasis, while miR-138 dysregulation is observed in breast cancer cases. The aim of this study is to investigate the expression of miR-138 and MMP-13 levels as potential biomarkers for the prognosis of breast cancer. PATIENTS AND METHOD In this retrospective case-control study, 119 female subjects were recruited and divided into three groups. MMP-13 level was measured using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), while real-time PCR technique was employed to quantify miR-138 expression. RESULTS Both non-metastatic and metastatic groups showed significantly higher levels of serum MMP-13 compared to other groups. MMP-13 levels are significantly increased among patients with advanced tumor size, lymph node metastasis, and triple-negative breast cancer cases. An inverse significant association between MMP-13 levels and response to treatment was observed. Expression of miR-138 underwent a significant down-regulation in breast cancer patients, and a statistically significant association was established between miR-138 expression and triple-negative breast cancer cases. A positive association was detected between the increase in miR-138 expression and the good response to treatment. The expression of miR-138 was inversely correlated with the MMP-13 levels. CONCLUSION MMP-13 levels were significantly higher in breast cancer, especially in advanced cases, suggesting its role in promoting tumor invasion and metastasis. MiR-138 was down-regulated in breast cancer, especially in triple-negative breast cancer patients, rendering it a promising biomarker for triple-negative breast cancer. Modulation of miR-138 expression and MMP-13 levels may represent therapeutic targets for breast cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to investigate the association of matrix metalloproteinase- (MMP-) 1, -2, -3, -7, and -13 gene polymorphisms with chronic periodontitis (CP) in an Iranian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this case-control study, 87 subjects with CP and 89 periodontally healthy subjects were allocated to case and control groups, respectively. Subjects' venous blood samples (5 cc) were collected, and DNA extraction was performed. A spectrophotometer was utilized to assess the concentration of extracted DNAs. The desired gene polymorphisms were examined using restriction fragment length polymorphism polymerase chain reaction (RFLP-PCR) followed by electrophoresis. Statistical analyses were done using the Pearson Chi-Square test, odds ratio, and t-Test using SPSS Version 28. RESULTS The MMP-1 (-1607 1G/2G) rs1799750, MMP-3 (-1171 5A/6A) rs3025058, and MMP-7 (-181 A/G) rs11568818 gene polymorphisms significantly differed between case and control groups (PV = 0.019, 0.007, and 0.028, respectively). In contrast, the gene polymorphisms of MMP-2 (-1306 C/T) rs243865 and MMP-13 (-77 A/G) rs2252070 did not make a significant difference. Regarding allele frequencies, the presence of the 2G allele in the MMP-1 (-1607) rs1799750 genotype increased the CP susceptibility significantly, while subjects with the 6A allele in their MMP-3 (-1171) rs3025058 genotype showed significantly lower susceptibility to CP (PV = 0.008 and < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION In the studied population, gene polymorphisms in the DNA sequences of MMP-1 (-1607 1G/2G) rs1799750, MMP-3 (-1171 5A/6A) rs3025058, and MMP-7 (-181 A/G) rs11568818 may have impacts on CP incidence. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Clinicians should be cautious about the association between MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-7 gene polymorphisms and the incidence of chronic periodontitis during periodontal treatment planning.

Abstract
Oral diseases exhibit a significant association with metabolic syndrome, including dyslipidemia. However, direct evidence supporting this relationship is lacking, and the involvement of cholesterol metabolism in the pathogenesis of periodontitis (PD) has yet to be determined. In this study, we showed that high cholesterol caused periodontal inflammation in mice. Cholesterol homeostasis in human gingival fibroblasts was disrupted by enhanced uptake through C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 16 (CXCL16), upregulation of cholesterol hydroxylase (CH25H), and the production of 25-hydroxycholesterol (an oxysterol metabolite of CH25H). Retinoid-related orphan receptor α (RORα) mediated the transcriptional upregulation of inflammatory mediators; consequently, PD pathogenesis mechanisms, including alveolar bone loss, were stimulated. Our collective data provided direct evidence that hyperlipidemia is a risk factor for PD and supported that inhibition of the CXCL16-CH25H-RORα axis is a potential treatment mechanism for PD as a systemic disorder manifestation.

Abstract
In dentistry, various animal models are used to evaluate adhesive systems, dental caries and periodontal diseases. Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are enzymes that degrade collagen in the dentin matrix and are categorized in over 20 different classes. Collagenases and gelatinases are intrinsic constituents of the human dentin organic matrix fibrillar network and are the most abundant MMPs in this tissue. Understanding such enzymes' action on dentin is important in the development of approaches that could reduce dentin degradation and provide restorative procedures with extended longevity. This in silico study is based on dentistry's most used animal models and intends to search for the most suitable, evolutionarily close to Homo sapiens. We were able to retrieve 176,077 mammalian MMP sequences from the UniProt database. These sequences were manually curated through a three-step process. After such, the remaining 3178 sequences were aligned in a multifasta file and phylogenetically reconstructed using the maximum likelihood method. Our study inferred that the animal models most evolutionarily related to Homo sapiens were Orcytolagus cuniculus (MMP-1 and MMP-8), Canis lupus (MMP-13), Rattus norvegicus (MMP-2) and Orcytolagus cuniculus (MMP-9). Further research will be needed for the biological validation of our findings.

Evaluating the potential of matrix metalloproteinase as a diagnostic biomarker in rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e35340. [PMID: 37832126 PMCID: PMC10578754 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000035340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of several chronic diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontitis (PD). RA patients with periodontitis (RA-PD) are associated with elevated inflammatory burden due to increased production of proinflammatory cytokines. Controlling upregulated MMPs activity in these patients may have potential therapeutic effects. Therefore, aim of this study is to address the focused question: "Do RA subjects with concurrent PD have different levels of MMPs in comparison to RA alone, PD alone and HC subjects?" METHODS The systematic review was performed following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A search from 4 electronic databases (EMBASE, Medline, Web of Science, and Cochrane library) and manual search was performed from inception to July 2023. Quality assessment of each article was done using Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Meta-analyses derived results were summarized as standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS A total of 879 articles were extracted. Following screening and full text assessment, 9 studies were included. MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-8, MMP-9, and MMP-13 were consistently elevated in RA-PD subjects. MMP-8 levels were found to be higher in RA-PD subjects compared with RA alone, PD alone, and HC in 3 studies reporting GCF levels (SMD = 1.2; Z = 2.07; P = .04) and 2 studies reporting serum levels (SMD = 0.87; Z = 4.53; P < .00001). CONCLUSION RA-PD group showed significantly higher MMP levels in their serum and GCF compared with HC, RA, and PD alone individuals. MMP-8 may serve as a reliable biomarker in the diagnosis and management of RA-PD subjects.

Abstract
AIM Patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) present various clinical and radiological oral manifestations. However, precise evaluation of the oral features associated with diffuse cutaneous SSc (dcSSc) and limited cutaneous SSc (lcSSc) is limited. The objective of this study was to evaluate the periodontal ligament (PDL) surface in SSc patients in comparison with controls. Assessment of oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and the levels of different biomarkers in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) was performed. MATERIALS AND METHODS SSc patients and matched controls underwent standardized oral examination and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 4 (CXCL-4) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in the GCF were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. PDL surface was measured on CBCT axial views. OHRQoL was quantified using the Mouth Handicap in SSc Scale (MHISS). RESULTS Thirty-nine SSc patients and 39 controls were included. SSc patients exhibited increased PDL surface, higher number of missing teeth as well as elevated IL-6, MMP-9 and CXCL-4 levels. Reduced mouth opening was observed in dcSSc but not in lcSSc patients. MHISS score was higher in dcSSc than in lcSSc patients. Although worse periodontal parameters were found in both subgroups compared with controls, dcSSc patients presented lower gingival inflammation. CONCLUSIONS SSc is associated with PDL space widening, impaired oral health and OHRQoL.

Abstract
Periodontitis (PD) is a degenerative, bacteria-induced chronic disease of periodontium causing bone resorption and teeth loss. It includes a strong reaction of immune cells through the secretion of proinflammatory factors such as Interleukin-17 (IL-17). PD treatment may consider systemic oral antibiotics application, including doxycycline (Dox), exhibiting antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties along with supportive activity in wound healing, thus affecting alveolar bone metabolism. In the present study, we aimed to determine whether Dox can affect the regenerative potential of periodontal ligament mesenchymal stem cells (PDLSCs) modulated by IL-17 in terms of cell migration, osteogenic potential, bioenergetics and expression of extracellular matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2). Our findings indicate that Dox reduces the stimulatory effect of IL-17 on migration and MMP-2 expression in PDLSCs. Furthermore, Dox stimulates osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs, annulling the inhibitory effect of IL-17 on PDLSCs osteogenesis. In addition, analyses of mitochondrial respiration reveal that Dox decreases oxygen consumption rate in PDLSCs exposed to IL-17, suggesting that changes in metabolic performance can be involved in Dox-mediated effects on PDLSCs. The pro-regenerative properties of Dox in inflammatory microenvironment candidates Dox in terms of regenerative therapy of PD-affected periodontium are observed.

Abstract
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans) has myriads of virulence factors among which leukotoxin provides A. actinomycetemcomitans with the advantage to thrive in the surrounding hostile environment and evade host immune defences. The NLRP3 inflammasome has been associated with periodontal disease development. However, our understanding of the involvement of caspase-1, caspase-4, and NLRP3 in the release of IL-1β and other inflammatory mediators from gingival epithelial cells during a A. actinomycetemcomitans infection is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate how the inflammasome-associated proteins caspase-1, caspase-4 and NLRP3 regulate the immune response of gingival epithelial cells during a A. actinomycetemcomitans infection. Human gingival epithelial cells (Ca9-22) deficient in NLRP3, caspase-1 or caspase-4 were created using CRISPR/Cas9. Gingival epithelial cells were stimulated with the A. actinomycetemcomitans low-leukotoxic strain NCTC9710 or the highly leukotoxic JP2 strain HK 165 for 6, 12 and 24 h. The results showed that the JP2 strain HK1651 induced higher IL-1β and IL-1RA release and mediated more epithelial cell death compared to the NCTC9710 strain. These findings were found to be capsase-1, caspase-4 and NLRP3-dependant. A targeted protein analysis of inflammation-related proteins showed that the expression of 37 proteins were identified as being significantly altered after HK1651 infection compared to unstimulated Cas9 and NLRP3-deficient cells. Of the 37 proteins, 23 of these inflammation-related proteins released by NLRP3-deficient cells differed significantly compared to Cas9 cells after infection. This suggests that NLRP3 has a broad effect on the inflammatory response in gingival epithelial cells.

Abstract
As the dentition forms and becomes functional, the alveolar bone is remodelled. Metalloproteinases are known to contribute to this process, but new regulators are emerging and their contextualization is challenging. This applies to Myb, a transcription factor recently reported to be involved in bone development and regeneration. The regulatory effect of Myb on Mmps expression has mostly been investigated in tumorigenesis, where Myb impacted the expression of Mmp1, Mmp2, Mmp7, and Mmp9. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the regulatory influence of the Myb on Mmps gene expression, impacting osteogenesis and mandibular bone formation. For that purpose, knock-out mouse model was used. Gene expression of bone-related Mmps and the key osteoblastic transcription factors Runx2 and Sp7 was analysed in Myb knock-out mice mandibles at the survival limit. Out of the metalloproteinases under study, Mmp13 was significantly downregulated. The impact of Myb on the expression of Mmp13 was confirmed by the overexpression of Myb in calvarial-derived cells causing upregulation of Mmp13. Expression of Mmp13 in the context of other Mmps during mandibular/alveolar bone development was followed in vivo along with Myb, Sp7 and Runx2. The most significant changes were observed in the expression of Mmp9 and Mmp13. These MMPs and MYB were further localized in situ by immunohistochemistry and were identified in pre/osteoblastic cells as well as in pre/osteocytes. In conclusion, these results provide a comprehensive insight into the expression dynamics of bone related Mmps during mandibular/alveolar bone formation and point to Myb as another potential regulator of Mmp13.

Abstract
Silver tungstate (α-Ag2WO4), silver molybdate (β-Ag2MoO4), and silver vanadate (α-AgVO3) microcrystals have shown interesting antimicrobial properties. However, their biocompatibility is not yet fully understood. Cytotoxicity and the inflammatory response of silver-containing microcrystals were analyzed in THP-1 and THP-1 differentiated as macrophage-like cells, with the alamarBlue™ assay, flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, and ELISA. The present investigation also evaluated redox signaling and the production of cytokines (TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-8 and -9). The results showed that α-AgVO3 (3.9 μg/mL) did not affect cell viability (p > 0.05). α-Ag2WO4 (7.81 μg/mL), β-Ag2MoO4 (15.62 μg/mL), and α-AgVO3 (15.62 μg/mL) slightly decreased cell viability (p ≤ 0.003). All silver-containing microcrystals induced the production of O2 - and this effect was mitigated by Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) scavenger and N-acetylcysteine (NAC). TNFα, IL-6 and IL-1β were not detected in THP-1 cells, while their production was either lower (p ≤ 0.0321) or similar to the control group (p ≥ 0.1048) for macrophage-like cells. The production of IL-8 by both cellular phenotypes was similar to the control group (p ≥ 0.3570). The release of MMP-8 was not detected in any condition in THP-1 cells. Although MMP-9 was released by THP-1 cells exposed to α-AgVO3 (3.9 μg/mL), no significant difference was found with control (p = 0.7). Regarding macrophage-like cells, the release of MMP-8 and -9 decreased in the presence of all microcrystals (p ≤ 0.010). Overall, the present work shows a promising biocompatibility profile of, α-Ag2WO4, β-Ag2MoO4, and α-AgVO3 microcrystals.

[PMID: 37711495 PMCID: PMC10498368 DOI: 10.5455/aim.2023.31.126-130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Inflammatory cytokines like Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are associated with the destruction observed in periodontal disease. There has been evidence of significant increases in MMP levels in patients with systemic disorders, such as Diabetes Mellitus (DM), which is associated with microvascular complications, causing increased MMP activity, directly or indirectly, due to oxidative stress. Objective The aim of this study was conducted in order to assess wound healing using MMP-8 levels in GCF of diabetics with chronic periodontitis after diode laser assisted flap surgery. Methods This interventional, comparative clinical trial, was conducted after obtaining approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC), (Study protocol number: 48/2020), and registered with Clinical Trials Registry of India (CTRI/2022/07/043898). Purposive sampling technique was used to select 30 patients with chronic periodontitis (15 systemically healthy patients, and 15 diabetic patients), who visited the Department of Periodontology. Results Out of the 30 patients initially selected, 3 patients were lost to follow up and 1 patient was excluded from the study due to lack of compliance towards oral hygiene maintenance. Intragroup comparison of the clinical parameters at baseline and 3 months in both groups was statistically significant (p=0.000). This concludes that there was statistically significant improvement in the periodontal parameters of non-diabetic patients after diode laser assisted flap surgery. Inter-group comparison of the clinical parameters did not show statistical significance at baseline and at 3 months (p > 0.05). It can be concluded that there was comparable changes in the periodontal parameters in both groups after surgery. Conclusion MMP-8 could be used as a futuristic tool for assessing wound healing especially in diabetics, so that necessary treatment interventions can be undertaken prior to development of any post-op complications. Laser assisted Modified Widman flap showed noteworthy improvement in the clinical parameters in both groups. Thus, proving that laser assisted MWF surgery is a favorable treatment modality, especially in diabetics who are immunocompromised and prone to infections.

Antibiotics (Basel) 2023; 12:990. [PMID: 37370309 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics12060990] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2023] [Revised: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Periodontitis is a common global disease caused by bacterial dysbiosis leading to tissue destruction, and it is strongly associated with anaerobic bacterial colonization. Therapeutic strategies such as oxygen therapy have been developed to positively influence the dysbiotic microbiota, and the use of oxygen-releasing substances may offer an added benefit of avoiding systemic effects commonly associated with antibiotics taken orally or hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Therefore, the oxygen release of calcium peroxide (CaO2) was measured using a dissolved oxygen meter, and CaO2 solutions were prepared by dissolving autoclaved CaO2 in sterile filtered and deionized water. The effects of CaO2 on planktonic bacterial growth and metabolic activity, as well as on biofilms of Streptococcus oralis and Porphyromonas gingivalis, were investigated through experiments conducted under anaerobic conditions. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of CaO2 as an antimicrobial agent for the treatment of periodontitis. Results showed that CaO2 selectively inhibited the growth and viability of P. gingivalis (p < 0.001) but had little effect on S. oralis (p < 0.01), indicating that CaO2 has the potential to selectively affect both planktonic bacteria and mono-species biofilms of P. gingivalis. The results of this study suggest that CaO2 could be a promising antimicrobial agent with selective activity for the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a large family of Ca2+ and Zn2+ dependent proteolytic enzymes, able to cleave the various components of the extracellular matrix (ECM), as well as a range of other regulatory molecules. Several reports have proven the important role of both MMPs and their endogenous inhibitors, TIPMs, in oral health, the initial development of the tooth, and during enamel maturation. In this mini-review, we aim to summarize the literature information about the functions of MMPs, paying more attention to MMP-8 (collagenase-2 or neutrophil collagenase) in the development and progression of periodontitis, peri-implantitis, and carious lesions. We also emphasize the role of particular gene variants in MMP8 as predisposing factors for some oral diseases.

Abstract
Periodontal diseases and dental caries are the most common infectious oral diseases impacting oral health globally. Oral cavity health is crucial for enhancing life quality since it serves as the entranceway to general health. The oral microbiome and oral infectious diseases are strongly correlated. Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria have been associated with periodontal diseases. Due to the shortcomings of several antimicrobial medications frequently applied in dentistry, the lack of resources in developing countries, the prevalence of oral inflammatory conditions, and the rise in bacterial antibiotic resistance, there is a need for reliable, efficient, and affordable alternative solutions for the prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases. Several accessible chemical agents can alter the oral microbiota, although these substances also have unfavorable symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and tooth discoloration. Natural phytochemicals generated from plants that have historically been used as medicines are categorized as prospective alternatives due to the ongoing quest for substitute products. This review concentrated on phytochemicals or herbal extracts that impact periodontal diseases by decreasing the formation of dental biofilms and plaques, preventing the proliferation of oral pathogens, and inhibiting bacterial adhesion to surfaces. Investigations examining the effectiveness and safety of plant-based medicines have also been presented, including those conducted over the past decade.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to explore the therapeutic targets of curcumin in periodontitis through network pharmacology and molecular docking technology. METHODS Targets of curcumin and periodontitis were predicted by different databases, and the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network constructed by String revealed the interaction between curcumin and periodontitis. The key target genes were screened for Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses. Molecular docking was performed to analyze the binding potential of curcumin to periodontitis. RESULTS A total of 672 periodontitis-related disease targets and 107 curcumin-acting targets were obtained from the databases, and 20 key targets were screened. The GO and KEGG analyses of the 20 targets showed that curcumin might play a therapeutic role through the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 and parathyroid hormone (PTH) signaling pathways. Molecular docking analysis showed that curcumin had good binding potential with multiple targets. CONCLUSIONS The potential key targets and molecular mechanisms of curcumin in treating periodontitis provide a theoretical basis for new drug development and clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The systemic inflammatory response caused by chronic periodontitis is a risk factor for multiple diseases. Ubiquitin-specific protease 5 (USP5) is a kind of deubiquitinase which mainly responsible for dissociating unanchored polyubiquitin. However, the functions of USP5 in chronic periodontitis have not been reported. METHODS Chronic periodontitis patients were recruited, and their periodontal samples were collected. The levels of USP5, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in gingival crevicular fluid were evaluated by ELISA. The expression of USP5, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) was estimated by qRT-PCR assay. The activation of STAT3 signaling was examined by Western blot. RESULTS USP5 was upregulated in the gingival crevicular fluid and gingival tissues of chronic periodontitis patients. USP5 expression was positively correlated with the expression of proinflammatory factors. USP5 knockdown and deubiquitinase inhibitor inhibited LPS-induced inflammatory responses in PDLSCs. Suppressing USP5 inhibited STAT3 signaling in PDLSCs. CONCLUSION Suppression deubiquitinase USP5 inhibits the inflammatory response of chronic periodontitis by suppressing STAT3 signaling.

Abstract
Rapid and effective repair of injured or diseased bone defects remains a major challenge due to shortages of implants. Smart hydrogels that respond to internal and external stimuli to achieve therapeutic actions in a spatially and temporally controlled manner have recently attracted much attention for bone therapy and regeneration. These hydrogels can be modified by introducing responsive moieties or embedding nanoparticles to increase their capacity for bone repair. Under specific stimuli, smart hydrogels can achieve variable, programmable, and controllable changes on demand to modulate the microenvironment for promoting bone healing. In this review, we highlight the advantages of smart hydrogels and summarize their materials, gelation methods, and properties. Then, we overview the recent advances in developing hydrogels that respond to biochemical signals, electromagnetic energy, and physical stimuli, including single, dual, and multiple types of stimuli, to enable physiological and pathological bone repair by modulating the microenvironment. Then, we discuss the current challenges and future perspectives regarding the clinical translation of smart hydrogels.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP12), or macrophage metalloelastase, plays important roles in extracellular matrix (ECM) component degradation. Recent reports show MMP12 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases. To date, this review represents the latest comprehensive overview of MMP12 in various oral diseases, such as periodontitis, temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Furthermore, the current knowledge regarding the distribution of MMP12 in different tissues is also illustrated in this review. Studies have implicated the association of MMP12 expression with the pathogenesis of several representative oral diseases, including periodontitis, TMD, OSCC, OTM, and bone remodelling. Although there may be a potential role of MMP12 in oral diseases, the exact pathophysiological role of MMP12 remains to be elucidated. Understanding the cellular and molecular biology of MMP12 is essential, as MMP12 could be a potential target for developing therapeutic strategies targeting inflammatory and immunologically related oral diseases.

Abstract
Periodontitis is the sixth most prevalent chronic disease globally and places significant burdens on societies and economies worldwide. Behavioral modification, risk factor control, coupled with cause-related therapy have been the "gold standard" treatment for managing periodontitis. Given that host inflammatory and immunological responses play critical roles in the pathogenesis of periodontitis and impact treatment responses, several adjunctive strategies aimed at modulating host responses and improving the results of periodontal therapy and maintenance have been proposed. Of the many pharmacological host modulators, we focused on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), due to their long history and extensive use in relieving inflammation and pain and reducing platelet aggregation. NSAIDs have been routinely indicated for treating rheumatic fever and osteoarthritis and utilized for the prevention of cardiovascular events. Although several efforts have been made to incorporate NSAIDs into the treatment of periodontitis, their effects on periodontal health remain poorly characterized, and concerns over the risk-benefit ratio were also raised. Moreover, there is emerging evidence highlighting the potential of NSAIDs, especially aspirin, for use in periodontal regeneration. This review summarizes and discusses the use of NSAIDs in various aspects of periodontal therapy and regeneration, demonstrating that the benefits of NSAIDs as adjuncts to conventional periodontal therapy remain controversial. More recent evidence suggests a promising role for NSAIDs in periodontal tissue engineering and regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the inflammatory profile as well as the resolution of inflammation in a ligature-induced periodontal inflammation in rats with depletion and/or supraphysiological testosterone replacement. DESIGN Sixty male rats (Holtzman) were used in the present study. Study groups were created as following: (1) Sham (no testicle removal); (2) Orchiectomy (OCX), 3) OCX + Testosterone (OCX + T); (4) Sham + Ligature (SH + L); (5) OCX+L; and 6) OCX + T + L. The surgeries were performed on day 1, and testosterone was administered weekly since day 1. On day 15, a cotton ligature was placed around the lower first molars and maintained for 15 days. Morphological changes in periodontal tissues were determined by histopathological analysis. Immunohistochemistry (factor VIII) and immunoenzymatic assay were performed to evaluate angiogenesis process and (pro- and anti-) inflammatory markers, respectively. RESULTS Ligature promoted a marked inflammatory gingival infiltrate and bone loss (P < 0.05). Supraphysiological testosterone treatment increased the percentage of blood vessels, extracellular matrix and fibroblasts in the presence and absence of periodontal inflammation (P < 0.05). A high dose of testosterone increased factor VIII+ blood vessels and IL-10 expression in inflamed gingival tissue, while PGE2, LXA4 and MPO were reduced as a result of supraphysiological testosterone administration (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS These results, in our experimental model, suggest that supraphysiological testosterone treatment stimulated gingival tissue repair during ligature-induced periodontitis, and it seems to be related to an anti-inflammatory and pro-resolutive mechanism resulting by the modulatory effect on PGE2 and IL-10 related to an enhanced angiogenesis.

[PMID: 36409042 DOI: 10.1111/jre.13067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2022] [Revised: 10/13/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) is produced in chronic or acute inflammation. Although ANGPTL4 increases in the periodontal ligament fibroblasts during hypoxia, the involvement and role of ANGPTL4 in periodontitis have not been elucidated. OBJECTIVE In this study, we investigated whether ligature-induced experimental periodontitis and/or Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharides (Pg-LPS) would upregulate ANGPTL4 expression and whether ANGPTL4 would somehow involve in the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) which are key molecules in the process of periodontal tissue destruction. METHODS Experimental periodontitis was induced in 6-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats by placing a nylon suture around the neck of the maxillary second molar. Two weeks after the induction of periodontitis, the periodontal tissue was excised and analyzed by histological/immunohistochemical staining and gene expression analyses. Human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) were stimulated with Pg-LPS. The gene expression of ANGPTLs and receptors involved in ANGPTL4 recognition were observed. We also confirmed the changes in gene expression of MMPs upon stimulation with human ANGPTL4. Furthermore, we downregulated ANGPTL4 expression by short interfering RNA in hGFs and investigated the effect of Pg-LPS on MMP production. RESULTS Induction of periodontitis significantly increased the expression of ANGPTL4 in the gingiva. Pg-LPS significantly increased the gene and protein expression of ANGPTL4 in hGFs but not the gene expression of other ANGPTLs or ANGPTL receptors. Recombinant human ANGPTL4 significantly increased MMP13 gene expression in hGFs. We also confirmed that MMP13 expression was increased in the gingiva during experimental periodontitis. Pg-LPS induced MMP13 gene expression in hGFs. These results suggest the pivotal role of ANGPTL4 in periodontitis. CONCLUSION Periodontitis increases ANGPTL4 expression in the gingiva, further suggesting that increased ANGPTL4 may be a factor involved in enhancing MMP13 expression.

Potential Impact of Prosthetic Biomaterials on the Periodontium: A Comprehensive Review. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28031075. [PMID: 36770741 PMCID: PMC9921997 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28031075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 01/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
The success of a prosthetic treatment is closely related to the periodontal health of the individual. The aim of this article was to review and present the importance of prosthetic restorative materials on the condition of the periodontium, the changes that occur in the composition of the subgingival microbiota and the levels of inflammatory markers in gingival crevicular fluid. Articles on the influence of different prosthetic restorative materials on subgingival microbiota and proinflammatory cytokines were searched for using the keywords "prosthetic biomaterials", "fixed prosthesis", "periodontal health", "subgingival microbiota", "periodontal biomarkers" and "gingival crevicular fluid" in PubMed/Medline, Science Direct, Scopus and Google Scholar. The type of material used for prosthesis fabrication together with poor marginal and internal fit can result in changes in the composition of the subgingival microbiota, as well as increased accumulation and retention of dentobacterial plaque, thus favoring the development of periodontal disease and prosthetic treatment failure. Biological markers have helped to understand the inflammatory response of different prosthetic materials on periodontal tissues with the main purpose of improving their clinical application in patients who need them. Metal-free ceramic prostheses induce a lower inflammatory response regardless of the fabrication method; however, the use of CAD/CAM systems is recommended for their fabrication. In addition, it is presumed that metal-ceramic prostheses cause changes in the composition of the subgingival microbiota producing a more dysbiotic biofilm with a higher prevalence of periodontopathogenic bacteria, which may further favor periodontal deterioration.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are an important class of enzymes in the body that function through the extracellular matrix (ECM). They are involved in diverse pathophysiological processes, such as tumor invasion and metastasis, cardiovascular diseases, arthritis, periodontal disease, osteogenesis imperfecta, and diseases of the central nervous system. MMPs participate in the occurrence and development of numerous cancers and are closely related to immunity. In the present study, we review the immunomodulatory role of MMPs in colitis-associated cancer (CAC) and discuss relevant clinical applications. We analyze more than 300 pharmacological studies retrieved from PubMed and the Web of Science, related to MMPs, cancer, colitis, CAC, and immunomodulation. Key MMPs that interfere with pathological processes in CAC such as MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-9, MMP-10, MMP-12, and MMP-13, as well as their corresponding mechanisms are elaborated. MMPs are involved in cell proliferation, cell differentiation, angiogenesis, ECM remodeling, and the inflammatory response in CAC. They also affect the immune system by modulating differentiation and immune activity of immune cells, recruitment of macrophages, and recruitment of neutrophils. Herein we describe the immunomodulatory role of MMPs in CAC to facilitate treatment of this special type of colon cancer, which is preceded by detectable inflammatory bowel disease in clinical populations.

Curr Issues Mol Biol 2023; 45:538-554. [PMID: 36661522 PMCID: PMC9858207 DOI: 10.3390/cimb45010036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Periodontitis, a disease caused by inflammation of oral bacteria, contributes to the loss of alveolar bone and destruction of connective tissues. Porphyromonas gingivalis, a Gram-negative bacterium, is known to possess important pathogenic factors for periodontal disease. In this study, we investigated the anti-periodontitis effects of Magnolia kobus extract (MKE) and magnolin as a component of Magnolia kobus (MK) in murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells stimulated with Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Effects of MKE and magnolin on the mechanism of RAW 264.7 cellular inflammation were determined by analyzing nitric oxide (NO) production and Western blot protein expression (n = 3). MKE/magnolin inhibited NO production without affecting cell survival. MKE/magnolin treatment inhibited LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines, expression levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs such as MMP-1, 3, 8, 9, and 13), and protein levels of inflammatory mediators (such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and mPGES-1). MKE/magnolin also suppressed NF-κB activation by inhibiting the TLR4 signaling pathway. These findings suggest that MKE has a therapeutic effect on inflammatory periodontal disease caused by oral bacterium P. gingivalis and that magnolin is a major functional component in the anti-inflammatory effect of MKE.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is the most common dental health problem characterized by the destruction of connective tissue and the resorption of alveolar bone resulting from a chronic infection associated with pathogenic bacteria in the gingiva. Aged garlic extract has been reported to improve gingival bleeding index and probing pocket depth score in patients with mild to moderate periodontitis. Although our previous study found that aged garlic extract and its constituents suppressed the tumor necrosis factor-α-induced inflammatory responses in a human gingival epithelial cell line, the mechanism underlying the effect of aged garlic extract on the destruction of the gingiva remains unclear. The present study investigated the effect of S-1-propenyl-L-cysteine, one of the major sulfur bioactive compounds in aged garlic extract, on the lipopolysaccharide-induced expression of matrix metalloproteinases in human gingival fibroblasts HGF-1 cells. Matrix metalloproteinases are well known to be closely related to the destruction of the gingiva. We found that S-1-propenyl-L-cysteine suppressed the lipopolysaccharide-induced expression and secretion of matrix metalloproteinase-1 in HGF-1 cells. In addition, S-1-propenyl-L-cysteine inhibited the lipopolysaccharide-induced phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor and expression of the active form of tumor necrosis factor-α converting enzyme. Furthermore, the inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase and tumor necrosis factor-α converting enzyme, AG-1478 and TAPI-1, respectively, reduced the lipopolysaccharide-induced protein level of matrix metalloproteinase-1, as did S-1-propenyl-L-cysteine. Taken together, these results suggested that S-1-propenyl-L-cysteine suppresses the lipopolysaccharide-induced expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 through the blockade of the tumor necrosis factor-α converting enzyme-epidermal growth factor receptor axis in gingival fibroblasts.

Abstract
Background Inflammatory cytokines like Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are associated with the destruction observed in periodontal disease (3). There has been evidence of significant increases in MMP levels in patients with systemic disorders, such as Diabetes Mellitus (DM), which is associated with microvascular complications, causing increased MMP activity, directly or indirectly, due to oxidative stress. Objective: The aim of this study was conducted in order to assess wound healing using MMP-8 levels in GCF of diabetics with chronic periodontitis after diode laser assisted flap surgery. Methods This interventional, comparative clinical trial, was conducted after obtaining approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC), (Study protocol number: 48/2020), and registered with Clinical Trials Registry of India (CTRI/2022/07/043898). Purposive sampling technique was used to select 30 patients with chronic periodontitis (15 systemically healthy patients, and 15 diabetic patients), who visited the Department of Periodontology. Results Out of the 30 patients initially selected, 3 patients were lost to follow up and 1 patient was excluded from the study due to lack of compliance towards oral hygiene maintenance. Intragroup comparison of the clinical parameters at baseline and 3 months in both groups was statistically significant (p=0.000). This concludes that there was statistically significant improvement in the periodontal parameters of non-diabetic patients after diode laser assisted flap surgery. Inter-group comparison of the clinical parameters did not show statistical significance at baseline and at 3 months (p > 0.05). It can be concluded that there was comparable changes in the periodontal parameters in both groups after surgery. Conclusion MMP-8 could be used as a futuristic tool for assessing wound healing especially in diabetics, so that necessary treatment interventions can be undertaken prior to development of any post-op complications. Laser assisted Modified Widman flap showed noteworthy improvement in the clinical parameters in both groups. Thus, proving that laser assisted MWF surgery is a favorable treatment modality, especially in diabetics who are immunocompromised and prone to infections.

Abstract
Medicinal plants are rich sources of valuable molecules with various profitable biological effects, including antimicrobial activity. The advantages of herbal products are their effectiveness, relative safety based on research or extended traditional use, and accessibility without prescription. Extensive and irrational usage of antibiotics since their discovery in 1928 has led to the increasing expiration of their effectiveness due to antibacterial resistance. Now, medical research is facing a big and challenging mission to find effective and safe antimicrobial therapies to replace inactive drugs. Over the years, one of the research fields that remained the most available is the area of natural products: medicinal plants and their metabolites, which could serve as active substances to fight against microbes or be considered as models in drug design. This review presents selected flavonoids (such as apigenin, quercetin, kaempferol, kurarinone, and morin) and tannins (including oligomeric proanthocyanidins, gallotannins, ellagitannins, catechins, and epigallocatechin gallate), but also medicinal plants rich in these compounds as potential therapeutic agents in oral infectious diseases based on traditional usages such as Agrimonia eupatoria L., Hamamelis virginiana L., Matricaria chamomilla L., Vaccinium myrtillus L., Quercus robur L., Rosa gallica L., Rubus idaeus L., or Potentilla erecta (L.). Some of the presented compounds and extracts are already successfully used to maintain oral health, as the main or additive ingredient of toothpastes or mouthwashes. Others are promising for further research or future applications.

Abstract
Periodontitis is one of the most prevalent infectious inflammatory diseases, characterized by irreversible destruction of the supporting tissues of teeth, which is correlated with a greater risk of multiple systemic diseases, thus regarded as a major health concern. Dysregulation between periodontal microbial community and host immunity is considered to be the leading cause of periodontitis. Comprehensive studies have unveiled the double-edged role of immune response in the development of periodontitis. Immune senescence, which is described as age-related alterations in immune system, including a diminished immune response to endogenous and exogenous stimuli, a decline in the efficiency of immune protection, and even failure in immunity build-up after vaccination, leads to the increased susceptibility to infection. Recently, the intimate relationship between immune senescence and periodontitis has come into focus, especially in the aging population. In this review, both periodontal immunity and immune senescence will be fully introduced, especially their roles in the pathology and progression of periodontitis. Furthermore, novel immunotherapies targeting immune senescence are presented to provide potential targets for research and clinical intervention in the future.

Abstract
The senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which accumulates over the course of normal aging and in age-related diseases, is a crucial driver of chronic inflammation and aging phenotypes. It is also responsible for the pathogenesis of multiple oral diseases. However, the pathogenic mechanism underlying SASP has not yet been fully elucidated. Here, relevant articles on SASP published over the last five years (2017-2022) were retrieved and used for bibliometric analysis, for the first time, to examine SASP composition. More than half of the relevant articles focus on various cytokines (27.5%), growth factors (20.9%), and proteases (20.9%). In addition, lipid metabolites (13.1%) and extracellular vesicles (6.5%) have received increasing attention over the past five years, and have been recognized as novel SASP categories. Based on this, we summarize the evidences demonstrating that SASP plays a pleiotropic role in oral immunity and propose a four-step hypothetical framework for the progression of SASP-related oral pathology-1) oral SASP development, 2) SASP-related oral pathological alterations, 3) pathological changes leading to oral immune homeostasis disruption, and 4) SASP-mediated immune dysregulation escalating oral disease. By targeting specific SASP factors, potential therapies can be developed to treat oral and age-related diseases.

Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study is to explore the effects of gossypin on matrix metalloproteinases -2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 genes in prostate cancer cells.
Materials and Methods: PC3 cells were grown in culture and treated with three different concentrations of gossypin (25-50-100 µg/ml) and cisplatin (50 µM) as a positive control. First, RNA isolation was performed. Then, cDNA synthesis was performed and RT-PCR was used to evaluate mRNA expression levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 genes.
Results: Gossypin decreased MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA expression in prostate cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Three concentrations (25-50-100 µg/ml) of gossypin in PC3 cells reduced the mRNA expression of the MMP-2 gene. While the fold change value of MMP-2 gene expression was 0.3482 ± 0.040 (mean ± sd) in the 100 µg/ml gossypin group, it was 1.007 ± 0.1425 (mean ± sd) in the control group. In addition, 50 µg/ml and 100 µg/ml concentrations of gossypin decreased the mRNA expression of the MMP-9 gene. The expression level of the MMP-9 gene in prostate cancer cells was 0.4740 ± 0.038 (mean ± sd) in the 100 µg/ml gossypin administered group, while it was 1.009 ± 0.1687 (mean ± sd) in the control group. There was a positive correlation between the expressions of the MMP-2 and MMP-9 genes.
Conclusion: According to the results obtained, it is seen that gossypin reduces the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 genes in prostate cancer cells and the effects of gossypin on other genetic and epigenetic mechanisms in cancer need to be investigated to reveal the anti-cancer.

[PMID: 36140482 PMCID: PMC9497746 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12092080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2022] [Revised: 08/17/2022] [Accepted: 08/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
This review highlights oral anomalies with major clinical impact in Addison disease (AD), including dental health and dermatologic features, through a dual perspective: pigmentation issues and AD comorbidities with oral manifestations. Affecting 92% of AD patients, cutaneomucosal hyperpigmentation is synchronous with or precedes general manifestations by up to a decade, underlying melanocytic infiltration of the basal epidermal layer; melanophages in the superficial dermis; and, rarely, acanthosis, perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate, and hyperkeratosis. Intraoral pigmentation might be the only sign of AD; thus, early recognition is mandatory, and biopsy is helpful in selected cases. The buccal area is the most affected location; other sites are palatine arches, lips, gums, and tongue. Pigmented oral lesions are patchy or diffuse; mostly asymptomatic; and occasionally accompanied by pain, itchiness, and burn-like lesions. Pigmented lingual patches are isolated or multiple, located on dorsal and lateral areas; fungiform pigmented papillae are also reported in AD individuals. Dermoscopy examination is particularly indicated for fungal etiology; yet, it is not routinely performed. AD’s comorbidity burden includes the cluster of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome (APS) type 1 underlying AIRE gene malfunction. Chronic cutaneomucosal candidiasis (CMC), including oral CMC, represents the first sign of APS1 in 70–80% of cases, displaying autoantibodies against interleukin (IL)-17A, IL-17F ± IL-22, and probably a high mucosal concentration of interferon (IFN)-γ. CMC is prone to systemic candidiasis, representing a procarcinogenic status due to Th17 cell anomalies. In APS1, the first cause of mortality is infections (24%), followed by oral and esophageal cancers (15%). Autoimmune hypoparathyroidism (HyP) is the earliest endocrine element in APS1; a combination of CMC by the age of 5 years and dental enamel hypoplasia (the most frequent dental complication of pediatric HyP) by the age of 15 is an indication for HyP assessment. Children with HyP might experience short dental roots, enamel opacities, hypodontia, and eruption dysfunctions. Copresence of APS-related type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) enhances the risk of CMC, as well as periodontal disease (PD). Anemia-related mucosal pallor is related to DM, hypothyroidism, hypogonadism, corresponding gastroenterological diseases (Crohn’s disease also presents oral ulceration (OU), mucogingivitis, and a 2–3 times higher risk of PD; Biermer anemia might cause hyperpigmentation by itself), and rheumatologic diseases (lupus induces OU, honeycomb plaques, keratotic plaques, angular cheilitis, buccal petechial lesions, and PD). In more than half of the patients, associated vitiligo involves depigmentation of oral mucosa at different levels (palatal, gingival, alveolar, buccal mucosa, and lips). Celiac disease may manifest xerostomia, dry lips, OU, sialadenitis, recurrent aphthous stomatitis and dental enamel defects in children, a higher prevalence of caries and dentin sensitivity, and gingival bleeding. Oral pigmented lesions might provide a useful index of suspicion for AD in apparently healthy individuals, and thus an adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation is useful. The spectrum of autoimmune AD comorbidities massively complicates the overall picture of oral manifestations.

Abstract
The inflammatory response of the host in periodontitis is the phenomenon that underlies the onset and evolution of periodontal destructive phenomena. A number of systemic factors, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), can negatively affect the patient with periodontitis, just as the periodontal disease can aggravate the status of the DM patient. Host response modulation therapy involves the use of anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant products aimed at resolving inflammation, stopping destructive processes, and promoting periodontal healing, all important aspects in patients with high tissue loss rates, such as diabetic patients. This paper reviews the data available in the literature on the relationship between DM and periodontitis, the main substances modulating the inflammatory response (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, sub-antimicrobial doses of doxycycline, or omega-3 fatty acids and their products, specialized pro-resolving mediators), as well as their application in diabetic patients.
