Gao Y, Huang D, Liu Y, Qiu Y, Lu S. Periodontitis and thyroid function: A bidirectional Mendelian randomization study. J Periodontal Res 2024; 59:491-499. [PMID: 38193661 DOI: 10.1111/jre.13240] [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: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 12/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Previous studies suggest interaction between periodontitis and thyroid function, while the causality has not yet been established. We applied the Mendelian randomization (MR) method to assess bidirectional causal association between periodontitis and thyroid-related traits, including free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD). METHODS Genetic instruments were extracted from large-scale genome-wide association studies on normal-range FT4 (N = 49 269) and TSH (N = 54 288) levels, TSH in full range (N = 119 715); hypothyroidism (discovery/replication cohorts: N = 53 423/334 316), hyperthyroidism (discovery/replication cohorts: N = 51 823/257 552), AITD (N = 755 406) and periodontitis (N = 45 563). Here, the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method was applied as the primary analysis, and robustness of results were assessed by several pleiotropic-robust methods. Results were adjusted for Bonferroni correction thresholds with significant p < .004 (0.05/13) and suggestive p between .004 and .05. RESULTS The IVW analysis revealed a suggestively causal linkage between genetic predisposition to periodontitis and the increased risk of hypothyroidism (discovery cohort: odds ratio [OR] = 1.24, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.05-1.46, p = .012; replication cohort: OR = 1.06, 95% CI = 1.01-1.11, p = .011). No evidence was found for supporting the impact of periodontitis on hyperthyroidism and AITD risks (associated p ≥ .209), as well as thyroid-related traits on periodontitis risk (associated p ≥ .105). These findings were robust and consistent through sensitivity analysis with other MR models. CONCLUSION This bidirectional MR reveals periodontitis should not be attributed to variations in thyroid function but it has potential causal effect on hypothyroidism risk, which provides a better understanding of the relationship between periodontitis and thyroid function, and potential evidence for the clinical intervention of hypothyroidism. Further investigations are warranted to elucidate the nature and underlying mechanisms of this finding.

Mediating and moderating effects of plasma proteomic biomarkers on the association between poor oral health problems and incident dementia: The UK Biobank study. GeroScience 2024:10.1007/s11357-024-01202-3. [PMID: 38809392 DOI: 10.1007/s11357-024-01202-3] [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: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024] Open
Abstract
The plasma proteome can mediate poor oral health problems (POHP)'s link to incident dementia. We screened 37,269 UK Biobank participants 50-74 years old (2006-2010) for prevalent POHP, further tested against 1463 plasma proteins and incident dementia over up to 15 years of follow-up. Total effect (TE) of POHP-dementia through plasma proteomic markers was decomposed into pure indirect effect (PIE), interaction referent (INTREF), controlled direct effect (CDE), or mediated interaction (INTMED). POHP increased the risk of all-cause dementia by 17% (P < 0.05). Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) exhibited the strongest mediating effects (PIE > 0, P < 0.001), explaining 28% the total effect of POHP on dementia, as a pure indirect effect. A first principal component encompassing top 4 mediators (GDF15, IL19, MMP12, and ACVRL1), explained 11% of the POHP-dementia effect as a pure indirect effect. Pathway analysis including all mediators (k = 173 plasma proteins) revealed the involvement of the immune system, signal transduction, metabolism, disease, and gene expression, while STRING analysis indicated that top mediators within the first principal component were also represented in the two largest proteomic clusters. The dominant biological GO pathway for the GDF15 cluster was GO:0007169 labeled as "transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway." Dementia is linked to POHP mediated by GDF15 among several proteomic markers.

Accuracy of periodontitis diagnosis obtained using multiple molecular biomarkers in oral fluids: A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Clin Periodontol 2023; 50:1420-1443. [PMID: 37608638 DOI: 10.1111/jcpe.13854] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Revised: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023]
Abstract
AIM To determine the accuracy of biomarker combinations in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva through meta-analysis to diagnose periodontitis in systemically healthy subjects. METHODS Studies on combining two or more biomarkers providing a binary classification table, sensitivity/specificity values or group sizes in subjects diagnosed with periodontitis were included. The search was performed in August 2022 through PUBMED, EMBASE, Cochrane, LILACS, SCOPUS and Web of Science. The methodological quality of the articles selected was evaluated using the QUADAS-2 checklist. Hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic modelling was employed to perform the meta-analyses (CRD42020175021). RESULTS Twenty-one combinations in GCF and 47 in saliva were evaluated. Meta-analyses were possible for six salivary combinations (median sensitivity/specificity values): IL-6 with MMP-8 (86.2%/80.5%); IL-1β with IL-6 (83.0%/83.7%); IL-1β with MMP-8 (82.7%/80.8%); MIP-1α with MMP-8 (71.0%/75.6%); IL-1β, IL-6 and MMP-8 (81.8%/84.3%); and IL-1β, IL-6, MIP-1α and MMP-8 (76.6%/79.7%). CONCLUSIONS Two-biomarker combinations in oral fluids show high diagnostic accuracy for periodontitis, which is not substantially improved by incorporating more biomarkers. In saliva, the dual combinations of IL-1β, IL-6 and MMP-8 have an excellent ability to detect periodontitis and a good capacity to detect non-periodontitis. Because of the limited number of biomarker combinations evaluated, further research is required to corroborate these observations.

Abstract
Genomic medicine has become a growing reality; however, it is still taking its first steps in veterinary medicine. Through this approach, it will be possible to trace the genetic profile of a given individual and thus know their susceptibility to certain diseases, namely periodontal disease. This condition is one of the most frequently diagnosed in companion animal clinics, especially in dogs. Due to the limited existing information and the lack of comprehensive studies, the objective of the present study was to systematically review the existing scientific literature regarding genomic medicine in canine periodontal disease and determine which genes have already been studied and their probable potential. This study followed the recommendations of the PRISMA 2020 methodology. Canine periodontal disease allied to genomic medicine were the subjects of this systematic review. Only six articles met all of the inclusion criteria, and these were analyzed in detail. These studies described genetic variations in the following genes: interleukin-6, interleukin-10, interleukin-1, lactotransferrin, toll-like receptor 9, and receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B. Only in two of them, namely interleukin-1 and toll-like receptor 9 genes, may the identified genetic variations explain the susceptibility that certain individuals have to the development of periodontal disease. It is necessary to expand the studies on the existing polymorphic variations in genes and their relationship with the development of periodontal disease. Only then will it be possible to fully understand the biological mechanisms that are involved in this disease and that determine the susceptibility to its development.

Is There a Difference in the Proteomic Profile of Stimulated and Unstimulated Saliva Samples from Pregnant Women with/without Obesity and Periodontitis? Cells 2023; 12:1389. [PMID: 37408223 DOI: 10.3390/cells12101389] [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: 03/02/2023] [Revised: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 05/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to compare the proteomic profile of stimulated and unstimulated saliva samples from pregnant women with/without obesity and periodontitis. Pregnant women were allocated into four groups: with obesity and periodontitis (OP); with obesity but without periodontitis (OWP); with normal BMI but with periodontitis (NP); with normal BMI and without periodontitis (NWP). Stimulated saliva (SS) and unstimulated saliva (US) samples were collected, and salivary proteins were extracted and individually processed by proteomic analysis (nLC-ESI-MS/MS). Proteins involved with the immune response process, antioxidant activity, and retina homeostasis were decreased or absent in SS samples from all groups (i.e., Antileukoproteinase, Lysozyme C, Alpha-2-macroglobulin-like protein 1, Heat shock proteins-70 kDa 1-like, 1A, 1B, 6, Heat shock-related 70 kDa protein 2, Putative Heat shock 70 kDa protein 7, Heat shock cognate 71 kDa). Additionally, proteins related to the carbohydrate metabolic process and glycolytic and glucose metabolic process were absent in SS, mainly from OP and OWP (i.e., Frutose-bisphosphate aldose A, Glusoce-6-phosphate isomerase, Pyruvate kinase). Saliva stimulation decreased important proteins involved with immune response and inflammation process in all groups. Unstimulated salivary samples seem to be the best choice for the proteomic approach in pregnant women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The current study aims to evaluate and compare the lipocalin, adiponectin and periodontal viruses in the generalized periodontitis patients with and without diabetes mellitus. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy subjects were grouped into 35 systemically healthy (GP) and 35 patients with diabetes mellitus (GP+DM). The periodontal parameters, demographic and diabetic variables were evaluated in both the groups. The subgingival tissue samples were procured from the diseased sites and were analysed for the detection of EBV, CMV, HSV and protein markers by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and lipocalin and adiponectin were identified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS The demographic variables such as age and BMI did not differ between the groups. PI and CAL were found to be significantly higher in GP+DM (p < 0.05). EBV (82.9%), CMV (71.4%) and protein marker: lipocalin were also found to be statistically highly significant in GP+DM and adiponectin was found to be higher in GP group and reduced in GP+DM group (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION The increased prevalence of EBV and CMV and lipocalin with reduced levels of adiponectin in patients with diabetes and periodontitis which may show aggravation of the diabetic status of the periodontitis patients thereby reinforcing a strong Periodontitis-DM continuum.

Abstract
Given the emergence of resistant bacterial strains and novel microorganisms that globally threaten human life, moving toward new treatment modalities for microbial infections has become a priority more than ever. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has been introduced as a promising and non-invasive local and adjuvant treatment in several oral infectious diseases. Its efficacy for elimination of bacterial, fungal, and viral infections and key pathogens such as Streptococcus mutans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Candida albicans, and Enterococcus faecalis have been investigated by many invitro and clinical studies. Researchers have also investigated methods of increasing the efficacy of such treatment modalities by amazing developments in the production of natural, nano based, and targeted photosensitizers. As clinical studies have an important role in paving the way towards evidence-based applications in oral infection treatment by this method, the current review aimed to provide an overall view of potential clinical applications in this field and summarize the data of available randomized controlled clinical studies conducted on the applications of aPDT in dentistry and investigate its future horizons in the dental practice. Four databases including PubMed (Medline), Web of Science, Scopus and Embase were searched up to September 2022 to retrieve related clinical studies. There are several clinical studies reporting aPDT as an effective adjunctive treatment modality capable of reducing pathogenic bacterial loads in periodontal and peri-implant, and persistent endodontic infections. Clinical evidence also reveals a therapeutic potential for aPDT in prevention and reduction of cariogenic organisms and treatment of infections with fungal or viral origins, however, the number of randomized clinical studies in these groups are much less. Altogether, various photosensitizers have been used and it is still not possible to recommend specific irradiation parameters due to heterogenicity among studies. Reaching effective clinical protocols and parameters of this treatment is difficult and requires further high quality randomized controlled trials focusing on specific PS and irradiation parameters that have shown to have clinical efficacy and are able to reduce pathogenic bacterial loads with sufficient follow-up periods.

Abstract
Oral cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, accounting for 2% of all cases annually and 1.8% of all cancer deaths. To date, tissue biopsy and histopathological analyses are the gold standard methods for the diagnosis of oral cancers. However, oral cancer is generally diagnosed at advanced stages with a consequent poor 5-year survival (~50%) due to limited screening programs and inefficient physical examination strategies. To address these limitations, liquid biopsy is recently emerging as a novel minimally invasive tool for the early identification of tumors as well as for the evaluation of tumor heterogeneity and prognosis of patients. Several studies have demonstrated that liquid biopsy in oral cancer could be useful for the detection of circulating biomarkers including circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), microRNAs (miRNAs), proteins, and exosomes, thus improving diagnostic strategies and paving the way to personalized medicine. However, the application of liquid biopsy in oral cancer is still limited and further studies are needed to better clarify its clinical impact. The present manuscript aims to provide an updated overview of the potential use of liquid biopsy as an additional tool for the management of oral lesions by describing the available methodologies and the most promising biomarkers.

Huang P, Jia L. MicroRNA-28-5p as a potential diagnostic biomarker for chronic periodontitis and its role in cell proliferation and inflammatory response. J Dent Sci 2022; 17:1501-1509. [PMID: 36299340 PMCID: PMC9588829 DOI: 10.1016/j.jds.2022.04.031] [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: 03/14/2022] [Revised: 04/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
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.

Abstract
Cumulative evidence over the last decades have supported the role of gum infections as a risk for future major cardiovascular events. The precise mechanism connecting coronary artery disease (CAD) with periodontal findings has remained elusive. Here, we employ next generation phage display mimotope-variation analysis (MVA) to identify the features of dysfunctional immune system that associate CAD with periodontitis. We identify a fine molecular description of the antigenic epitope repertoires of CAD and its most severe form - acute coronary syndrome (ACS) by profiling the antibody reactivity in a patient cohort with invasive heart examination and complete clinical oral assessment. Specifically, we identify a strong immune response to an EBV VP26 epitope mimicking multiple antigens of oral biofilm as a biomarker for the no-CAD group. With a 2-step biomarker test, we stratify subjects with periodontitis from healthy controls (balanced accuracy 84%), and then assess the risk for ACS with sensitivity 71-89% and specificity 67-100%, depending on the oral health status. Our findings highlight the importance of resolving the immune mechanisms related to severe heart conditions such as ACS in the background of oral health. Prospective validation of these findings will support incorporation of these non-invasive biomarkers into clinical practice.

Abstract
Apical periodontitis is an inflammatory reaction of the periradicular tissues as a consequence of multispecies microbial communities organized as biofilms within the root canal system. Periradicular tissue changes at the molecular level initiate and orchestrate the inflammatory process and precede the presentation of clinical symptoms. Inflammatory mediators have been studied at either the proteomic, metabolomic, or transcriptomic levels. Analysis at the protein level is the most common approach used to identify and quantify analytes from diseased periradicular tissues during root canal treatment, since it is more representative of definitive and active periradicular inflammatory mediator than its transcript expression level. In disease, proteins expressed in an altered manner could be utilized as biomarkers. Biomarker proteins in periradicular tissues have been qualitatively and quantitatively assessed using antibodies (immunoassays and immunostaining) or mass spectrometry-based approaches. Herein, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of biomarker proteins identified in clinical studies investigating periradicular lesions and pulp tissue associated with apical periodontitis using proteomics. The high throughput mass spectrometry-based proteomics has the potential to improve the current methods of monitoring inflammation while distinguishing between progressive, stable, and healing lesions for the identification of new diagnostic and therapeutic targets. This method would provide more objective tools to (a) discover biomarkers related to biological processes for better clinical case selection, and (b) determine tissue response to novel therapeutic interventions for more predictable outcomes in endodontic treatment.

Abstract
For assessing the adequacy of vital pulp therapy for an inflamed pulp, the use of non-invasive diagnostic tools is necessary to avoid further damage to the teeth. Detection of biomarkers that are indicative of the inflammatory status in pulp can be a promising tool for this purpose. These biomarkers need to be reliably correlated with pulpal inflammation and to be easily detected without pulp exposure. This mini-review article aims to review biomarkers that are present in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in inflamed pulp conditions. Several studies have reported the availability of various biomarkers including cytokines, proteases, elastase, neuropeptides, and growth factors. Non-invasive pulpal diagnostic methods will be useful as well to determine reversibility, irreversibility, or necrosis of inflamed pulp. These types of molecular diagnoses via analyzing the proteome have revolutionized the medical field, and are one of the most promising empirical methodologies that a clinician can utilize for the proactive identification of pulpal disease.

Identification of hub genes and transcription factors involved in periodontitis on the basis of multiple microarray analysis. HUA XI KOU QIANG YI XUE ZA ZHI = HUAXI KOUQIANG YIXUE ZAZHI = WEST CHINA JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY 2021; 39:633-641.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) during the pathogenesis of periodontitis by bioinformatics analysis. METHODS GEO2R was used to screen DEGs in GSE10334 and GSE16134. Then, the overlapped DEGs were used for further analysis. g:Profiler was used to perform Gene Ontology analysis and pathway analysis for upregulated and downregulated DEGs. The STRING database was used to construct the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, which was further visua-lized and analyzed by Cytoscape software. Hub genes and key modules were identified by cytoHubba and MCODE plug-ins, respectively. Finally, transcription factors were predicted via iRegulon plug-in. RESULTS A total of 196 DEGs were identified, including 139 upregulated and 57 downregulated DEGs. Functional enrichment analysis showed that the upregulated DEGs were mainly enriched in immune-related pathways including immune system, viral protein interaction with cytokine and cytokine receptor, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, leukocyte transendothelial migration, and chemokine receptors bind chemokines. On the contrary, the downregulated DEGs were mainly related to the formation of the cornified envelope and keratinization. The identified hub genes in the PPI network were CXCL8, CXCL1, CXCR4, SEL, CD19, and IKZF1. The top three modules were involved in chemokine response, B cell receptor signaling pathway, and interleukin response, respectively. iRegulon analysis revealed that IRF4 scored the highest. CONCLUSIONS The pathogenesis of periodontitis was closely associated with the expression levels of the identified hub genes including CXCL8, CXCL1, CXCR4, SELL, CD19, and IKZF1. IRF4, the predicted transcription factor, might serve as a dominant upstream regulator.
