Carbohydr Polym 2020; 237:116163. [PMID: 32241426 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2020.116163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2019] [Revised: 03/10/2020] [Accepted: 03/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
A polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticle comprising chitosan (CS) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) was prepared (CS/CMCS-NPs) by ionic gelation, which was then used as a doxycycline carrier (Dox:CS/CMCS-NPs). The obtained CS/CMCS-NPs and Dox:CS/CMCS-NPs were characterized for various parameters and bacteriostatic ability against Porphyromonas gingivalis. The regulation of related genes and proteins of NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) was characterized by qRT-PCR, western blotting and ELISA. The results showed that Dox:CS/CMCS-NPs had an orderly morphology and an excellent cytocompatibility. P. gingivalis was strongly inhibited by Dox:CS/CMCS-NPs contrasted with control group. Dox:CS/CMCS-NPs effectively down-regulated both gene and protein levels of NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β in HGFs. This study provides a new method for rational application of Dox in the clinical treatment of periodontal disease and a new direction for explaining the mechanism of action of Dox:CS/CMCS-NPs and more drug-carrying nanoparticles.

Doxycycline inhibits NAcht Leucine-rich repeat Protein 3 inflammasome activation and interleukin-1β production induced by Porphyromonas gingivalis-lipopolysaccharide and adenosine triphosphate in human gingival fibroblasts. Arch Oral Biol 2019; 107:104514.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) on inflammasome activation by Porphyromonas gingivalis-lipopolysaccharide (P. gingivalis-LPS) stimulation and the anti-inflammatory eff ;ect of doxycycline (Dox) in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). DESIGN The optimal concentration of P. gingivalis-LPS (1.0 μg/mL) for cellular viability was determined by observing cell morphology and measuring the amount of formazan and the expression of pro-caspase-1. The expression of genes and proteins related to the NAcht Leucine-rich repeat Protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, including NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing CARD (ASC), caspase-1 and its activated forms, and the inflammatory factor interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and its activated forms were measured. RESULTS The NLRP3 inflammasome (i.e., NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1) was not affected by stimulation with P. gingivalis-LPS or ATP. However, a combination of P. gingivalis-LPS and ATP significantly enhanced inflammasome activation and IL-1β production at the gene and protein levels as measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot, respectively. Furthermore, doxycycline addition markedly inhibited inflammasome activation and IL-1β production induced by a combination of P. gingivalis-LPS and ATP. CONCLUSIONS LPS, ATP, and doxycycline play critical roles in regulating host immune responses. This evidence provides guidance for the application of tetracycline drugs for the clinical treatment of periodontal disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subantimicrobial dose doxycycline (SDD) has been used as an adjunct in periodontal treatment because of its matrix metalloproteinase inhibition properties. Although the benefits of SDD therapy, such as improvement in the parameters of periodontal probing depth and clinical attachment level, have been proven in multiple clinical studies, the comprehension of other biologic mechanisms of action on periodontitis remains poorly investigated. Therefore, this animal-model study evaluated the effects of SDD monotherapy on the expressions of the following key proinflammatory genes: proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR2), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-17, and IL-1β. METHODS Male Wistar rats were assigned randomly to the following: 1) control group: no ligature-induced periodontitis and no treatment; 2) ligature group: ligature-induced periodontitis and placebo treatment; and 3) ligature + doxycycline group: ligature-induced periodontitis and SDD treatment. After the experimental time, animals were sacrificed, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was performed to analyze the mRNA expression of IL-1β, IL-17, TNF-α, and PAR2 in gingival tissue samples. Histologic analyses were performed on the furcation region and mesial gingiva of mandibular first molars to measure periodontal bone loss and collagen content. RESULTS SDD administration significantly downregulated PAR2, IL-17, TNF-α, and IL-1β mRNA expressions (P <0.05). In addition, SDD treatment was accompanied by lower rates of alveolar bone loss (P <0.05) and maintenance of the amount of gingival collagen fibers. CONCLUSION These findings reveal new perspectives regarding SDD efficacy because it can be partially related to proinflammatory gene expression modulation, even considering PAR2 and IL-17, which has not been investigated thus far.

Abstract
The purpose of this animal study was to evaluate the effects of hawthorn (Crataeus orientalis M Bieber.) extract on serum oxidative status and alveolar bone loss in experimental periodontitis. Twenty-seven Wistar rats were assigned to one of the following groups: non- ligated+placebo (saline) (NL, n = 9), ligature only+placebo (saline) (LO, n = 9), and ligature and treated with hawthorn extract in saline (H, n = 9) (100 mg/kg orogastrically, once a day for 11 days). Periodontitis was induced by submerging a 4/0 silk ligature in the sulcus of the mandibular right first molars of rats, and the animals were sacrificed after 11 days. Micro-CT examinations were performed for linear and volumetric parameter assessment of alveolar bone. Periodontal tissues were histopathologically examined to assess the differences among the study groups. Levels of serum total antioxidant status (TAS)/total oxidant status (TOS), and oxidative stress index (OSI) were also analyzed. Alveolar bone loss was significantly reduced by hawthorn administration compared to LO group (p<0.05). The number of inflammatory cells and osteoclasts in the LO group was significantly higher than that of the NL and H groups (p< 0.05). The number of osteoblasts in the LO and H groups was significantly higher than that of the NL group (p<0.05). TOS and OSI levels were significantly reduced in H group compared to LO group (P <0.05) and TAS levels were similar in H and NL group (p< 0.05). Hawthorn extract showed inhibitory effect on periodontal inflammation and alveolar bone loss by regulating TAS, TOS and OSI levels in periodontal disease in rats when administered systemically.

Abstract
Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether subantimicrobial doses of doxycycline (DOX) and erythromycin (EM) used for the treatment of peri-implant osteolysis due to their anti-osteoclastogenesis can interfere with the osseous wound healing process in rat alveolar socket. Materials and Methods: Forty-five male Wistar rats had their first maxillary right molar extracted and were divided into three groups. DOX and EM at the doses of 5 mg/kg/day orally (p.o.) and 2 mg/kg/day intraperitoneally (i.p.) were administered respectively to two separate groups for 7 days after operation. In the control group the animals received normal saline (5 ml/kg). Five rats were sacrificed at 7, 14 and 21 days post-extraction in each study group. A histomorphometric analysis was used to evaluate new bone formation inside the alveolar socket. Significant level was set at 0.05. Results: The findings showed that the percentage of new bone formation (NBF) enhanced significantly on days 7 and 14. There was no significant difference in the NBF between DOX and EM groups. Conclusion: Short-term treatment with both DOX and EM enhanced new bone formation without any advances in favor of each drug.

Abstract
Introduction Periodontitis is initiated and sustained by bacteria. However, the mechanism of bacteria induced periodontitis is still unknown. We hypothesized that bacterial components can affect the functions of stem cells in the periodontium. In this study, we comparatively investigated the influence of Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the osteogenesis potential of human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs). Methods Human PDLSCs and BMMSCs were harvested and mineralized nodule formation was assessed by alizarin red S staining. Expression level of osteogenic related gene was detected by quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR). The expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and its downstream signaling pathway were examined by western blot. The role of TLR4 and related signaling pathway in LPS impairing the osteogenic potential of human PDLSCs and BMMSCs were also studied by alizarin red S staining and qRT-PCR. Experimental periodontitis was induced in adult Sprague–Dawley rats and the alveolar bone loss was measured by micro computed tomography analysis. The expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was assessed by immunohistochemistry and the number of osteoclasts was shown by Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. Results LPS decreased the osteogenic differentiation of human PDLSCs through TLR4 regulated nuclear factor (NF)-κB pathway, but not for BMMSCs. Blocking TLR4 or NF-κB signaling partially reversed the decreased osteogenic potential of PDLSCs and prevented the alveolar bone loss caused by LPS experimental periodontitis in rats. The ALP expression in the periodontal ligament was elevated after treatment with anti-TLR4 antibody or pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate, whereas there was no statistical significance among groups for the number of osteoclasts. Conclusions These data suggest that LPS can activate TLR4 regulated NF-κB pathway of human PDLSCs, thus decreasing their osteogenic potential. Blockage of TLR4 or NF-κB pathway might provide a new approach for periodontitis treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The goal of the present study was to evaluate the effects of systemic boric acid on the levels of expression of RANKL and osteoprotegerin (OPG) and on histopathologic and histometric changes in a rat periodontitis model. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-four Wistar rats were divided into three groups of eight animals each: nonligated (NL); ligature only (LO); and ligature plus treatment with boric acid (BA) (3 mg/kg per day for 11 d). A 4/0 silk suture was placed in a subgingival position around the mandibular right first molars; after 11 d the rats were killed, and alveolar bone loss in the first molars was histometrically determined. Periodontal tissues were examined histopathologically to assess the differences among the study groups. RANKL and OPG were detected immunohistochemically. RESULTS Alveolar bone loss was significantly higher in the LO group than in the BA and NL groups (p < 0.05). The number of inflammatory infiltrate and osteoclasts in the LO group was significantly higher than that in the NL and BA groups (p < 0.05). The numbers of osteoblasts in LO and BA groups were significantly higher compared with NL group (p < 0.05). There were significantly more RANKL-positive cells in the LO group than in the BA and NL groups (p < 0.05). There was a higher number of OPG-positive cells in the BA group than in the LO and NL groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The present study shows that systemic administration of boric acid may reduce alveolar bone loss by affecting the RANKL/OPG balance in periodontal disease in rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the systemic administration of extract of Ginkgo biloba (EGb) would prevent excessive tissue destruction in ligature-induced periodontitis in a rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-two male Wistar albino rats were used in the current study. The rats were randomly divided into four groups of eight rats each: (1) non-ligated treatment (NL) group, (2) ligature-only (LO) group, (3) ligature plus GB28 (28 mg/kg, daily for 11 days) group and (4) ligature plus GB56 (56 mg/kg, daily for 11 days) group. RESULTS Measurement of alveolar bone loss in the mandibular molar tooth revealed significantly lower bone loss values in the LO group compared to groups NL, GB28 and GB56 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The present results are the first data which suggests that host response in periodontitis can be modified by EGb administration. EGb minimized progression of periodontal disease.

Abstract
Treatment of periodontal disease involves complex mechanical, surgical, and medical modalities. Some of the treatment regimens are patient centered, some involve a great amount of technical expertise and competence from a practitioner, and often involve complex procedures like use of tissue-engineered products. In spite of several advances, treatment of periodontal disease depends on scaling and root planing and various surgical procedures as the mainstay, but results of treatment are not always predictable and are often frustrating. The ultimate aim of periodontal treatment is regeneration of periodontal tissues and more particularly lost alveolar bone support. The treatment options include a myriad of approaches and scientists and researchers have tried various tools and agents to improve alveolar bone status and improve periodontal health. These approaches vary from simple monotherapy with systemic antibiotic usage to exotic and novel procedures like shock wave therapy, photodynamic therapy and application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microbial colonization during wound healing may exaggerate the inflammatory response and could adversely affect the outcome of periodontal regeneration. Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) directly augment bone regeneration. Interestingly, inhibitors of tissue collagenases, such as sub-antimicrobial-dose doxycycline, also indirectly promote hard-tissue regeneration. In this study, it is hypothesized that BMP2-mediated bone regeneration would be positively affected by simultaneous treatment of sub-antimicrobial-dose doxycycline. METHODS Human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells were stimulated with: 1) 10 ng/mL BMP2; 2) 1 μg/mL doxycycline; or 3) a combination of the two. The expressions of alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, osteonectin, and osteopontin were analyzed along with in vitro mineralized nodule formation and calcium accumulation. RESULTS BMP2 was a potent inducer of osteocalcin/osteopontin (statistically significant at P <0.01) and osteonectin in PDL cells relative to stimulation with doxycycline. However, doxycycline relative to BMP2 (statistically significant at P <0.001) upregulated the expression of alkaline phosphatase and in vitro mineralized nodule formation. Contrary to expected results, combined BMP2 and doxycycline induced a statistically significant (P <0.001) downregulation of alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, osteonectin/osteopontin, and in vitro mineralized nodule formation compared to stimulation with either BMP2 or doxycycline alone. CONCLUSIONS Combined treatment of BMP2 and doxycycline in PDL cells counteracts the osteogenic mediators. Molecular interaction of growth factors should be explored before using a combination of these biologic molecules. It is important and clinically relevant to determine whether tetracycline and its other derivatives also counteract BMP functions. Animal models should be used to confirm these in vitro results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Polycan is a promising candidate for the treatment of periodontal disease. This study was undertaken to examine whether Polycan, a type of β-glucan, has a protective effect on ligature-induced experimental periodontitis and related alveolar bone loss in Sprague-Dawley rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS Polycan was orally administered, daily, for 10 d, at 21.25, 42.5 or 85 mg/kg, beginning 1 d after ligation. Changes in body weight and alveolar bone loss were monitored, and the anti-inflammatory effects of Polycan were determined by measuring the levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO), interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in gingival tissue. We also evaluated inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations as a measure of the antioxidant effect. RESULTS Ligature placement led to a marked decrease in body weight, increased alveolar bone loss and increased concentrations of MPO, IL-1β, TNF-α and MDA, as well as increased iNOS activity and inflammatory cell infiltration and decreased collagen-fiber content. Histological examination revealed increases in the number and activity of osteoclast cells, decreases in alveolar bone volume and elevated percentages of osteclasts on the alveolar bone surface. Daily oral treatment with 42.5 or 85 mg/kg of Polycan for 10 d led to significant, dose-dependent inhibition of the effect of ligature placement. CONCLUSION Taken together, these results suggest that 10 d of oral treatment with Polycan effectively inhibits ligature placement-induced periodontitis and related alveolar bone loss via an antioxidant effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Thymoquinone has a variety of pharmacologic properties, including antihistaminic, antibacterial, antihypertensive, hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities. Through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, thymoquinone may play an important role in preventing periodontal diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of thymoquinone in preventing the initiation and progression of periodontitis in a rat periodontitis model. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-four rats were randomly divided into three experimental groups: a nonligated (NL) treatment group (n = 8), a ligature-only (LO) treatment group (n = 8) and a ligature plus thymoquinone (10 mg/kg, daily for 11 d) (TQ) treatment group. In order to induce experimental periodontitis, a 4/0 silk suture was placed at the gingival margin of the right-mandibular first molars of the rats. Thymoquinone was administered by gastric feeding until the animals were killed on day 11. Changes in the alveolar bone levels of rats in each group were measured clinically, and tissues of rats in each group were examined histopathologically to determine inflammatory cell infiltration (ICI), osteoblast and osteoclast activities, and osteoclast morphology. RESULTS Alveolar bone loss around the mandibular molar tooth was significantly higher in the LO group compared with NL and TQ groups (p < 0.05). The ratio of the presence of ICI and osteoclast numbers was significantly higher in the LO group than in the NL and TQ groups (p < 0.05). Osteoblastic activity was significantly lower in the LO group than in the NL and TQ groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The present study showed that the oral administration of thymoquinone diminishes alveolar bone resorption in a rat periodontitis model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For many years an association between the low bone density of osteoporosis and increased risk of periodontal bone loss has been suspected. In this review the relationship between osteoporosis and periodontal disease is considered. METHODS For this narrative review a very broad search strategy of the literature was developed using both PubMed and Scopus databases using the search words "perio" and "osteoporosis". The reference lists from the selected papers were also scanned and this provided an additional source of papers for inclusion. The inclusion/exclusion criteria, were also quite liberal with only those papers dealing with bisphosphonates and osteonecrosis of the jaws, osteoporosis in edentulous individuals, as well as those not written in English being excluded. RESULTS The data available suggest that reduced bone mineral density is a shared risk factor for periodontitis rather than a causal factor. However, more prospective studies are required to fully determine what, if any, relationship truly exists between periodontitis and reduced bone mineral density. CONCLUSIONS More prospective studies are required to determine what, if any, relationships exist between periodontal disease and reduced bone mineral density.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to analyze the morphometric and histopathologic changes associated with experimental periodontitis in rats in response to systemic administration of N-acetylcysteine (NAC). METHODS Forty-three Wistar rats were divided into five experimental groups: non-ligated (NL) group (n = 10), ligature only (LO) group (n = 10), and groups that were administered NAC systemically (7, 35, or 70 mg/kg body weight per day [NAC7, NAC35, and NAC70 groups, respectively]; n = 8, 9, and 6). Silk ligatures were placed at the gingival margin of the lower first molars in a mandibular quadrant. The study duration was 11 days, and the animals were sacrificed at the end of this period. Changes in alveolar bone levels were measured clinically and tissues were histopathologically examined to assess the differences among the study groups. RESULTS At the end of 11 days, the alveolar bone loss was significantly higher in the LO group compared to NL, NAC7, NAC35, and NAC70 groups (P <0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the osteoclast numbers among the study groups (P >0.05), whereas the effect of NAC was dose-dependent. CONCLUSION NAC prevented alveolar bone loss in the rat model, in a dose-dependent manner, when administered systemically.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Periodontal disease, a pathological destructive inflammatory condition, is characterized by alveolar bone loss. Recent studies have suggested a correlation between the sympathetic nervous system and bone remodeling. To confirm the importance of the sympathetic nervous system in bone resorption, we investigated the effects of superior cervical ganglionectomy and oral challenge with Porphyromonas gingivalis on alveolar bone loss in rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS Rats were divided into three groups: group A underwent a sham operation as the control group; group B underwent superior cervical ganglionectomy; and group C underwent a sham operation and oral challenge with P. gingivalis. Horizontal alveolar bone loss was evaluated by measuring the distance between the cemento-enamel junction and the alveolar bone crest. Cytokine gene expression in the gingival tissues was assessed using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analyses. The furcation areas of the mandibular molars were examined histologically. RESULTS Both superior cervical ganglionectomy and oral challenge with P. gingivalis resulted in accelerated alveolar bone loss. Gingival tissues in the superior cervical ganglionectomy group showed increased expression of the cytokines interleukin-1 alpha, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6. The density of neuropeptide Y-immunoreactive fibers was decreased following superior cervical ganglionectomy. Osteoclasts were observed in the superior cervical ganglionectomy and P. gingivalis-challenged groups. CONCLUSION Both superior cervical ganglionectomy and oral challenge with P. gingivalis induced alveolar bone loss. These results provide new information on the occurrence of alveolar bone loss, in that both oral challenge with P. gingivalis and superior cervical ganglionectomy are important accelerating factors for alveolar bone loss. Thus, we suggest that the sympathetic nervous system is linked with the prevention of alveolar bone loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Propolis collected by honeybees from various plant sources is a resinous hive product possessing a broad spectrum of biologic activities. Propolis has been used extensively in the diet to improve health and prevent disease. The purpose of this study was to analyze the morphometric and histopathologic changes associated with experimental periodontitis in rats in response to the systemic administration of propolis. METHODS Forty Wistar rats were divided into four experimental groups: non-ligated (NL; N = 10); ligature only (LO; N = 10); and systemic administration of ligature and propolis (100 mg/kg body weight per day [Pro100; N = 10] or 200 mg/kg body weight per day [Pro200; N = 10]). Silk ligatures were placed at the gingival margin of the lower first molars in both mandibular quadrants. The study duration was 11 days, and the animals were sacrificed at the end of this period. Changes in alveolar bone levels were clinically measured, and tissues were histopathologically examined to assess the differences among the study groups. RESULTS At the end of 11 days, alveolar bone loss was significantly higher in the LO group compared to the NL, Pro100, and Pro200 groups (P <0.05). Osteoclast numbers in the LO group were significantly higher than those of the NL, Pro100, and Pro200 groups (P <0.05). Both dosages of propolis significantly reduced the periodontitis-related bone loss, but the differences between the two propolis groups were not statistically significant (P >0.05). CONCLUSION The findings of this study provide morphologic and histologic evidence that propolis, when administered systemically, prevents alveolar bone loss in the rat model.

Abstract
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is an activator of bone remodeling, and increase levels of PGE2 are found in several disorders characterized by chronic inflammation. Bisphosphonates are used in the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), an inherited disorder characterized by bone fragility and low bone mass. We evaluated the serum PGE2 (ng/mL) level in 16 children affected by OI (11 with mild and 5 with severe forms) at basal time and during treatment with neridronate. The levels of PGE2 in mild and severe forms were increased at basal time compared with controls (13.14 +/- 4.2 versus 0.72 +/- 0.05, p < 0.01; 15.1 +/- 1.5 versus 0.72 +/- 0.05, p < 0.01, respectively) and showed a significant decrease after the second (T1) cycle of treatment (mild: 4.97 +/- 5.0 versus 13.14 +/- 4.2, p < 0.01; severe: 5.32 +/- 4.5 versus 15.1 +/- 1.5, p < 0.01) with a further significant decrease after the fourth (T2) cycle. The high basal PGE2 levels in OI, a noninflammatory disorder, could be explained by stress-induced release mediated by inducible cyclooxygenase-2-catalyzed pathway. The reduction obtained by treatment with bisphosphonates could be attributed to a direct pharmacological effect since these drugs has been reported to modulate the release of proinflammatory mediators.

Abstract
Recent studies indicate that periodontal disease is associated with the development of early atherosclerotic lesions in the carotid artery. Since inflammation is a key feature in both atherosclerosis and periodontal disease, a common mediator of the two diseases could be anticipated. Leukotrienes are lipid-derived inflammatory mediators recently implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and previously shown to be produced in periodontitis. The aim of the present study was to detect leukotrienes in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) from subjects with atherosclerosis. Carotid ultrasonography and oral clinical examination were performed in 19 periodontitis patients and 16 healthy subjects. Atherosclerotic plaques were detected on ultrasound examination in 13 subjects with periodontis, and in 5 of the healthy subjects. Elevated concentrations of leukotriene B(4) and cysteinyl-leukotrienes were detected in GCF from subjects with a high dental plaque index (PLI>0.3), supporting an increased leukotriene formation in periodontitis. In addition, subjects with atherosclerotic plaques had significantly elevated concentrations of cysteinyl-leukotrienes in their GCF as compared with subjects without a visible plaque. Finally, the increased cysteinyl-leukotriene concentrations in GCF from atherosclerotic subjects were observed also when sub groups of periodontis patients and healthy subjects were compared separately. In summary, increased GCF concentrations of cysteinyl-leukotrienes were correlated to measures of both periodontitis and atherosclerosis. These results suggest that increased leukotriene formation may represent a possible link between periodontitis and atherosclerosis and a risk factor marker for both diseases.

Abstract
The hypothesis, a relationship between gingival tissue platelet activating factor (PAF) levels and healing after periodontal surgery, was tested by measuring PAF levels in gingival tissues collected from sites that had undergone flap surgery and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) or flap surgery alone. Using a split-mouth design, 20 intrabony defects were randomly assigned to treatment with flap surgery and GTR (group 1) or with flap surgery alone (group 2). Gingival tissue samples were obtained at surgery (baseline) and at 6-month follow-up evaluation visit. One half of each sample was used for analysis of PAF levels by high-performance liquid chromatography, and the other half of the sample was used for histomorphometric analysis that included measurements of number and diameter of blood vessels. PAF levels and diameter of blood vessels were significantly decreased (p < 0.01), and the number of blood vessels was significantly increased (p < 0.05) in both groups after 6 months compared to the baseline values. Postoperative number of blood vessels were significantly higher in group 1 (p < 0.05), whereas there was no significant difference in postoperative PAF levels between the two groups (p > 0.05). Based on the reported results, it is suggested that a decrease in gingival PAF levels might be found after conventional and regenerative periodontal surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play important roles in tissue destruction mechanisms of periodontitis. MMP-8 and -13 are the major collagenases that act in extracellular matrix degradation in periodontal tissues. MMP-14 is a membrane-type MMP, and laminin (Ln)-5 is a basal membrane component. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of doxycycline and alendronate on gingival tissue expression of MMP-8, -13, and -14; tissue inhibitors of MMP (TIMP)-1; and Ln-5 gamma2 chain in experimental periodontitis induced by Escherichia coli endotoxin (LPS) in rats. METHODS Experimental periodontitis was induced by repeated injection of LPS. Forty-four adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five study groups: saline control, LPS, LPS + doxycycline, LPS + alendronate, and LPS + doxycycline + alendronate. Doxycycline and alendronate were given as a single agent or as combination therapy during the 7 days of the experimental study period. On day 7, the rats were sacrificed, and the gingival tissues were analyzed immunohistochemically for expression of MMP-8, -13, and -14, Ln-5 gamma2 chain, and TIMP-1. Alveolar bone loss was evaluated morphometrically under a stereomicroscope. Data were tested statistically by Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests and Spearman correlation analysis. RESULTS Alveolar bone loss was significantly higher in the LPS, doxycycline, alendronate, and combination groups than in the saline control group (all P <0.01). MMP-8 expression was significantly higher in the LPS group than in the saline control group (P = 0.001). Individual administration of doxycycline or alendronate significantly decreased the expression of MMP-8 compared to LPS (P = 0.01). Combined drug administration reduced MMP-14 significantly compared to doxycycline (P = 0.004). No significant differences in Ln-5 gamma2 chain expression were found between the study groups (P >0.05). MMP-14 significantly correlated with the Ln-5 gamma2 chain in the LPS + alendronate group (P = 0.04) and with the amount of alveolar bone loss in the LPS + doxycycline + alendronate group (P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that alendronate and/or doxycycline may inhibit MMP-8 expression significantly; particularly, their combined administration may provide beneficial effects in periodontal treatment. Moreover, individual administration of alendronate and doxycycline results in significant increases in TIMP-1 expression in gingiva. However, these effects of combined low-dose doxycycline and alendronate on MMPs and TIMP should be verified by clinical human trials before these agents are used in dental practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of systemic administration of low-dose doxycycline and a bisphosphonate, alendronate, on serum levels of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), osteocalcin (OC), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in experimental periodontitis in rats. METHODS Experimental periodontitis was induced by repeated injection of purified lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from Escherichia coli endotoxin. Forty-seven adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five study groups and given LPS, LPS + doxycycline, LPS + alendronate, LPS + doxycycline + alendronate, and saline control. At the end of the 1-week protocol, blood samples were obtained, and the rats were sacrificed. Serum samples were analyzed for IL-1beta, OC, and CRP concentrations by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The jaws were defleshed, and alveolar bone loss was assessed morphometrically. Data were evaluated statistically by non-parametric tests. RESULTS Morphometric measurements revealed significantly more bone loss in the LPS group compared to the saline control group (P <0.05). Alendronate revealed slight inhibition on alveolar bone loss either alone or in combination with doxycycline (alveolar bone loss: 0.41 mm in alendronate and combined drug treatment groups versus 0.45 mm in LPS and doxycycline groups). Significantly higher IL-1beta levels were observed with alendronate either alone or in combination with doxycycline than in the LPS group (P <0.05). Combined administration of doxycycline and alendronate showed significantly higher levels of OC than all of the other groups (P <0.01). Serum CRP levels did not exhibit significant differences between the study groups. CONCLUSIONS Alendronate either alone or in combination with doxycycline provided slight inhibition on LPS-induced alveolar bone resorption. The significantly increased serum OC level observed in the combined drug treatment group suggests that combined administration of alendronate and doxycycline might increase bone remodeling and thereby inhibit the progression of alveolar bone resorption in rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the biological mechanisms and clinical utility of therapeutic modulation of the host response in the management of periodontal diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS A search of MEDLINE-PubMed was performed up to and including December 2004. The search was limited to in vitro, experimental animal and clinical studies published in English. The selection criteria included all levels of available evidence: systematic reviews, randomised-controlled clinical trials, controlled clinical trials, prospective and retrospective cohort studies and case reports of human and experimental animal studies. RESULTS Six targets for non-microbial chemotherapeutic intervention were identified. Clinical trials have demonstrated the ability of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to slow periodontal disease progression. However, recently reported serious adverse effects preclude the use of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors as an adjunct to periodontal therapy. Adjunctive use of subantimicrobial dose doxycycline to non-surgical periodontal therapy is beneficial in the management of chronic periodontitis over 12 months. Controversial data exist on the effects of bisphosphonate administration as an adjunct to periodontal therapy. Evidence on modulation of other host mediators including lipoxins, cytokines and nitric oxide synthase is limited to animal research. CONCLUSION After validation in long-term clinical trials, adjunctive host modulation therapy may prove advantageous in the management of periodontal diseases.
