Abstract
Periodontitis is an immuno-inflammatory disease of the soft tissues surrounding the teeth. Periodontitis is linked to many communicable and non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancers. The oral-systemic link between periodontal disease and systemic diseases is attributed to the spread of inflammation, microbial products and microbes to distant organ systems. Oral bacteria reach the gut via swallowed saliva, whereby they induce gut dysbiosis and gastrointestinal dysfunctions. Some periodontal pathogens like Porphyromonas. gingivalis, Klebsiella, Helicobacter. Pylori, Streptococcus, Veillonella, Parvimonas micra, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Peptostreptococcus, Haemophilus, Aggregatibacter actinomycetomcommitans and Streptococcus mutans can withstand the unfavorable acidic, survive in the gut and result in gut dysbiosis. Gut dysbiosis increases gut inflammation, and induce dysplastic changes that lead to gut dysfunction. Various studies have linked oral bacteria, and oral-gut axis to various GIT disorders like inflammatory bowel disease, liver diseases, hepatocellular and pancreatic ductal carcinoma, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease. Although the correlation between periodontitis and GIT disorders is well established, the intricate molecular mechanisms by which oral microflora induce these changes have not been discussed extensively. This review comprehensively discusses the intricate and unique molecular and immunological mechanisms by which periodontal pathogens can induce gut dysbiosis and dysfunction.

Abstract
The immune response mediated by Th17 cells is essential in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Emerging evidence has demonstrated that lipopolysaccharide from Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg-LPS) could promote Th17-cell differentiation directly, while the downstream signaling remains elusive. This study was aimed to explore the role of JMJD3 (a JmjC family histone demethylase) and signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) in Th17-cell differentiation triggered by Pg-LPS and clarify the interaction between them. We found that the expression of JMJD3 and STAT3 was significantly increased under Th17-polarizing conditions. Pg-LPS could promote Th17-cell differentiation from CD4+ T cells, with an increased expression of JMJD3 and STAT3 compared to the culture without Pg-LPS. The coimmunoprecipitation results showed that the interactions of JMJD3 and STAT3, STAT3 and retinoid-related orphan nuclear receptor γt (RORγt) were enhanced following Pg-LPS stimulation during Th17-cell differentiation. Further blocking assays were performed and the results showed that inhibition of STAT3 or JMJD3 both suppressed the Th17-cell differentiation, JMJD3 inhibitor could reduce the expression of STAT3 and p-STAT3, while JMJD3 expression was not affected when STAT3 was inhibited. Taken together, this study found that JMJD3 could promote Pg-LPS induced Th17-cell differentiation by modulating the STAT3-RORc signaling pathway.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a prevalent chronic disease that results in loss of periodontal ligament and bone resorption. Triggered by pathogens and prolonged inflammation, periodontitis is modulated by the immune system, especially pro-inflammatory cells, such as T helper (Th) 17 cells. Originated from CD4+ Th cells, Th17 cells play a central role for they drive and regulate periodontal inflammation. Cytokines secreted by Th17 cells are also major players in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Given the importance of Th17 cells, modulators of Th17 cells are of great clinical potential and worth of discussion. This review aims to provide an overview of the current understanding of the effect of Th17 cells on periodontitis, as well as a brief discussion of current and potential therapies targeting Th17 cells. Lastly, we highlight this article by summarizing the causal relationship between A20 (encoded by TNFAIP3), an anti-inflammatory molecule, and Th17 cell differentiation.
