Abstract
Objectives: The gingival mucosal barrier, an important oral cavity barrier, plays a significant role in preventing pathogenic microorganism invasion and maintaining periodontal tissue health. Pathogenic microorganism invasion of the gingival mucosa produces a large number of cytokines. Among them, pyroptosis is an important player in exacerbating immune-inflammatory responses, leading to tissue destruction. However, the mechanism of pyroptosis and the immune response it triggers have not been fully elucidated. We provide an overview of recent advances in understanding gingival physical barrier pyroptosis and inflammation-induced hyperimmunity.
Methods: PubMed, Web of Science databases were searched for articles, reviews, and clinical studies published until March 2024.
Results: We summarised the importance of the gingival barrier in terms of the functions of different cells, described the progress in research on gingival epithelial cell and gingival fibroblast pyroptosis and the immune-inflammatory response it induces, and discussed the relationship between pyroptosis and systemic diseases, association of multiple cell death systems. Finally, we propose future directions for pyroptosis research.
Conclusions: Pyroptosis often triggers a range of inflammatory immune responses that lead to associated diseases. Therefore, further study of the molecular mechanisms of pyroptosis and the immune responses is warranted.
期刊介绍:
Oral Diseases is a multidisciplinary and international journal with a focus on head and neck disorders, edited by leaders in the field, Professor Giovanni Lodi (Editor-in-Chief, Milan, Italy), Professor Stefano Petti (Deputy Editor, Rome, Italy) and Associate Professor Gulshan Sunavala-Dossabhoy (Deputy Editor, Shreveport, LA, USA). The journal is pre-eminent in oral medicine. Oral Diseases specifically strives to link often-isolated areas of dentistry and medicine through broad-based scholarship that includes well-designed and controlled clinical research, analytical epidemiology, and the translation of basic science in pre-clinical studies. The journal typically publishes articles relevant to many related medical specialties including especially dermatology, gastroenterology, hematology, immunology, infectious diseases, neuropsychiatry, oncology and otolaryngology. The essential requirement is that all submitted research is hypothesis-driven, with significant positive and negative results both welcomed. Equal publication emphasis is placed on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
