Abstract
Background/purpose
Individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) are more susceptible to periodontitis, largely due to the accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which drive oxidative stress and inflammaging. Inflammaging is a state of chronic low-grade inflammation and accelerated cellular aging that contributes to periodontal degradation, mediated by AGEs-induced cellular senescence and senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). 2-O-methylmagnolol (2-MG), a bioactive compound with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, remains underexplored in DM-associated periodontal degeneration. This study investigated the effects of 2-MG on AGE-induced oxidative stress and inflammaging in human gingival epithelial cells (HGEs) and human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs).
Materials and methods
The study assessed the effects of 2-MG on AGE-stimulated HGEs and HGFs by evaluating cell proliferation, wound healing capacity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, cellular senescence markers, and the secretion of SASP factors, including interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8. Additionally, Western blot analysis was performed to examine the protein expression of a senescence marker p16.
Results
Treatment with 2-MG at concentrations up to 10 μM did not significantly affect HGEs and HGFs cell proliferation (P > 0.05). However, 2-MG effectively improved AGEs-induced wound healing impairment and significantly attenuated ROS production in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). Furthermore, 2-MG reduced cellular senescence and suppressed the secretion of IL-6 and IL-8 (P < 0.05). Western blot analysis demonstrated that 2-MG inhibited AGEs-induced p16 expression (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
The findings indicate that 2-MG mitigates AGEs-induced oxidative stress and inflammaging in HGEs and HGFs. These results suggest that 2-MG may have therapeutic potential in preventing or attenuating DM-associated periodontal degeneration.
期刊介绍:
he Journal of Dental Sciences (JDS), published quarterly, is the official and open access publication of the Association for Dental Sciences of the Republic of China (ADS-ROC). The precedent journal of the JDS is the Chinese Dental Journal (CDJ) which had already been covered by MEDLINE in 1988. As the CDJ continued to prove its importance in the region, the ADS-ROC decided to move to the international community by publishing an English journal. Hence, the birth of the JDS in 2006. The JDS is indexed in the SCI Expanded since 2008. It is also indexed in Scopus, and EMCare, ScienceDirect, SIIC Data Bases.
The topics covered by the JDS include all fields of basic and clinical dentistry. Some manuscripts focusing on the study of certain endemic diseases such as dental caries and periodontal diseases in particular regions of any country as well as oral pre-cancers, oral cancers, and oral submucous fibrosis related to betel nut chewing habit are also considered for publication. Besides, the JDS also publishes articles about the efficacy of a new treatment modality on oral verrucous hyperplasia or early oral squamous cell carcinoma.
