Abstract
Prevotella species, notably Prevotella copri, significantly populate the human gut. In particular, P. copri is prevalent among non-Western populations with diets high in fiber. These species show complex relationships with diverse health aspects, associating with beneficial outcomes, including reduced visceral fat and improved glucose tolerance. Studies implicate various Prevotella species in specific diseases. Prevotella nigrescens and Porphyromonas gingivalis were linked to periodontal disease, promoting immune responses and influencing T helper type 17 (Th17) cells. Prevotella bivia was associated with bacterial vaginosis and a specific increase in activated cells in the vaginal mucosa. In contrast, they have shown substantial potential for inducing connective tissue degradation and alveolar bone resorption. Prevotella's role in neuroinflammatory disorders and autoinflammatory conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease has also been noted. The complex relationship between Prevotella and age-related conditions further extends to neurobiological changes in aging, with varying associations with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other inflammatory conditions. Studies have also identified Prevotella to be implicated in cognitive decline in middle aged and the elderly. Future directions in this research area are anticipated to explore Prevotella-associated inflammatory mechanisms and therapeutic interventions. Investigating specific drug targets and immunomodulatory measures could lead to novel therapeutic strategies. Understanding how Prevotella-induced inflammation interacts with aging diseases would offer promising insights for treatments and interventions. This review urges ongoing research to discover therapeutic targets and mechanisms for moderating Prevotella-associated inflammation to further enhance our understanding and improve health outcomes.

Abstract
Ideal regeneration of hard tissue and dental pulp has been reported with the use of a combination of bioactive glass and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). However, no previous study has investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the processes induced by this combination in dental pulp cells. This study aimed to examine the cellular phenotype and transcriptional changes induced by the combination of bioactive glass solution (BG) and bFGF in dental pulp cells using phase-contrast microscopy, a cell counting kit-8 assay, alkaline phosphatase staining, and RNA sequence analysis. bFGF induced elongation of the cell process and increased the number of cells. Whereas BG did not increase ALP activity, it induced extracellular matrix-related genes in the dental pulp. In addition, the combination of BG and bFGF induces gliogenesis-related genes in the nervous system. This is to say, bFGF increased the viability of dental pulp cells, bioactive glass induced odontogenesis, and a dual stimulation with bioactive glass and bFGF induced the wound healing of the nerve system in the dental pulp. Taken together, bioactive glass and bFGF may be useful for the regeneration of the dentin-pulp complex.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a highly heterogeneous autoimmune disease characterised by the production of pathogenic autoantibodies against nuclear self-antigens. The anti-inflammatory and tolerogenic cytokine Interleukin-10 appears to play a paradoxical pathogenic role in SLE and is therefore currently therapeutically targeted in clinical trials. It is generally assumed that the pathogenic effect of IL-10 in SLE is due to its growth and differentiation factor activity on autoreactive B-cells, but effects on other cells might also play a role. To date, a unique cellular source of pathogenic IL-10 in SLE has not been identified. In this review, we focus on the contribution of different CD4+T-cell subsets to IL-10 and autoantibody production in SLE. In particular, we discuss that IL-10 produced by different subsets of adaptive regulatory T-cells, follicular helper T-cells and extra-follicular B-helper T-cells is likely to have different effects on autoreactive B-cell responses. A better understanding of the role of IL-10 in B-cell responses and lupus would allow to identify the most promising therapies for individual SLE patients in the future.

Abstract
Synovial fibroblasts (SF) contribute to the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA), but the effects of intra-articular cytokines on SF are not completely understood. The aim of this study was to characterize the interplay between tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α and the anti-inflammatory interleukin (IL)-10. Non-immortalized human SF and SF of the human cell line K4IM were stimulated with recombinant TNFα, IL-10, or TNFα + IL-10 (10 ng/ml each) for 24 h or transduced with an adenoviral vector overexpressing human IL-10 (hIL-10) and subsequently treated with 10 ng/ml TNFα for 24 h. Effects on the gene expression and protein synthesis of IL-6, IL-10, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-1, -3, type I collagen, β1-integrin, and CD44 were investigated via real-time detection polymerase chain reaction, immunofluorescence labeling, flow cytometry, and Western blotting. IL-10 release by transduced SF was confirmed with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Both cell populations were activated by TNFα and by TNFα + IL-10, increasing their gene expression and protein synthesis of IL-6, IL-10, MMP-1, and MMP-3 and altering the synthesis of type I collagen, β1-integrin, and CD44. hIL-10 overexpression greatly elevated the gene expression and protein synthesis of IL-10. However, transduction did not significantly affect the gene expression of IL-6, MMP-1, and MMP-3 in SF. The increased expression of pro-inflammatory and catabolic mediators in TNFα-activated SF indicates their role in OA pathogenesis, suggesting they are a potential therapeutic target. Although the vigorousness of the responses of non-immortalized SF and K4IM clearly differ, the K4IM cell line seems to be a suitable model for non-immortalized human SF.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cryopreservation preserves periodontal ligament cells but has a lower success rate with dental pulp cells (DPCs) because it causes inflammation. There are 2 well-known cryopreservation methods that reduce inflammation, slow freezing and rapid freezing, but the effects of the 2 methods on inflammation are not well-established. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of the 2 different cryopreservation methods on CCL-13 induction from DPCs by using microarrays, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Western blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). METHODS In this study, the concentration of cryoprotectant was fixed, and the methods compared differed with respect to freezing speed. Initially we screened the DPCs of cryopreserved teeth with expression microarrays, and CCL-13 was identified as a differentially expressed gene involved in generalized inflammation. We then compared the expression of CCL-13 after exposing teeth to the 2 cryopreservation methods by using real-time PCR, Western blot, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and CLSM. RESULTS Expression of CCL-13 was up-regulated significantly only in the rapid freezing group, except in measurements made by real-time PCR. CLSM analysis also confirmed this up-regulation visually. CONCLUSIONS Rapid freezing increased the expression of CCL-13 in DPCs compared with slow freezing. Understanding the inflammatory effect of cryopreservation should help to establish an optimal cryoprofile to minimize inflammation of DPCs and reduce the need for endodontic treatment.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide exerts many effects on many cell lines, including cytokine secretion, and cell apoptosis and necrosis. We investigated the in vitro effects of lipopolysaccharide on apoptosis of cultured human dental pulp cells and the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax. Dental pulp cells showed morphologies typical of apoptosis after exposure to lipopolysaccharide. Flow cytometry showed that the rate of apoptosis of human dental pulp cells increased with increasing lipopolysaccharide concentration. Compared with controls, lipopolysaccharide promoted pulp cell apoptosis (P < 0.05) from 0.1 to 100 μg/mL but not at 0.01 μg/mL. Cell apoptosis was statistically higher after exposure to lipopolysaccharide for 3 days compared with 1 day, but no difference was observed between 3 and 5 days. Immunohistochemistry showed that expression of Bax and Bcl-2 was enhanced by lipopolysaccharide at high concentrations, but no evident expression was observed at low concentrations (0.01 and 0.1 μg/mL) or in the control groups. In conclusion, lipopolysaccharide induced dental pulp cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner, but apoptosis did not increase with treatment duration. The expression of the apoptosis regulatory proteins Bax and Bcl-2 was also up-regulated in pulp cells after exposure to a high concentration of lipopolysaccharide.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of lipopolysaccharide from Prevotella intermedia, a major cause of inflammatory periodontal disease, on the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and the expression of TNF-alpha mRNA in differentiated THP-1 cells, a human monocytic cell line. The potential involvement of the three main mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways in the induction of TNF-alpha production was also investigated. Lipopolysaccharide from P. intermedia ATCC 25611 was prepared by the standard hot phenol-water method. THP-1 cells were incubated in the medium supplemented with phorbol myristate acetate to induce differentiation into macrophage-like cells. It was found that P. intermedia lipopolysaccharide can induce TNF-alpha mRNA expression and stimulate the release of TNF-alpha in differentiated THP-1 cells without additional stimuli. Treatment of the cells with P. intermedia lipopolysaccharide resulted in a simultaneous activation of three MAPKs [extracellular signal-related kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1/2 (JNK1/2) and p38]. Pretreatment of the cells with MAPK inhibitors effectively suppressed P. intermedia lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-alpha production without affecting the expression of TNF-alpha mRNA. These data thus provided good evidence that the MAPK signaling pathways are required for the regulation of P. intermedia lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-alpha synthesis at the level of translation more than at the transcriptional level.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and the tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs) have been suggested to play a role in dental pulp destruction. This study examined the effects of interleukin (IL)-1 alpha on pulp fibroblasts. The ability of these cells to degrade collagen was determined with or without IL-1 alpha utilizing a cell-mediated collagen degradation assay. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction was utilized to examine the mRNA expression of multiple MMPs and TIMPs with and without IL-1 alpha, while Western blot analyses and zymography were utilized to examine their protein expression. The collagen degradation mediated by these cells was stimulated by IL-1 alpha and inhibited by MMP inhibitors. IL-1 alpha increased the mRNA expression of MMP-1 and MMP-3, as well as induced MMP-7. Western blot analyses confirmed these results. IL-1 alpha increased the secreted protein level of TIMP-1, while only slightly affected the level of TIMP-2. These results suggest that IL-1 alpha can induce pulp destruction by differentially regulating MMPs and TIMPs.

Abstract
Endotoxin, elaborated by gram-negative organisms, is an important factor in apical periodontitis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the magnitude of endotoxin penetration through root canal treated teeth using a dual chamber model system. Forty-four maxillary anterior teeth were prepared endodontically and canals filled either by lateral condensation or a warm thermoplasticized technique in combination with either Roth's 801 or AH 26 sealer. Teeth were suspended in the model system with a mixed anaerobic bacterial suspension in the upper chamber and HBSS in the lower chamber. The QCL-1000 LAL assay was used to measure endotoxin at 0, 1, 7, 14, and 21 days. Response feature analysis using trapezoidal area under the curve was performed; the four treatment groups were compared using nonparametric methods. Groups differed (p = 0.028), with thermoplasticized root canal filling/Roth's 801 sealer permitting the least apical endotoxin penetration. Results suggest that Roth's 801 sealer may have a role in inhibiting endotoxin penetration.
