Abstract
AIM
To investigate the functional significance of mitophagy in age-related osteogenic decline and the underlying mechanisms using in vivo and in vitro models.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
An alveolar bone defect model in aged mice and a serial passaging-induced ageing model of human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) were established. Osteogenic potential in mice was assessed by micro-CT, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemical analyses and histological staining. Osteogenic differentiation, mitochondrial function and mitophagy in PDLSCs were assessed using molecular techniques, cytochemical assays and imaging approaches. HDAC2-Parkin interactions and Parkin acetylation status were examined by mass spectrometry and immunoprecipitation to uncover key mechanisms.
RESULTS
Senescent PDLSCs exhibited impaired mitophagy and osteogenic capacity. Enhancing mitophagy restored osteogenesis of senescent PDLSCs and bone regeneration in aged mice. Mechanistically, HDAC2-mediated deacetylation of Parkin suppressed mitophagy and osteogenesis during ageing.
CONCLUSION
Activation of mitophagy reverses age-associated declines in osteogenic function, highlighting mitophagy as a therapeutic target for enhancing bone repair in the ageing population.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Clinical Periodontology was founded by the British, Dutch, French, German, Scandinavian, and Swiss Societies of Periodontology.
The aim of the Journal of Clinical Periodontology is to provide the platform for exchange of scientific and clinical progress in the field of Periodontology and allied disciplines, and to do so at the highest possible level. The Journal also aims to facilitate the application of new scientific knowledge to the daily practice of the concerned disciplines and addresses both practicing clinicians and academics. The Journal is the official publication of the European Federation of Periodontology but wishes to retain its international scope.
The Journal publishes original contributions of high scientific merit in the fields of periodontology and implant dentistry. Its scope encompasses the physiology and pathology of the periodontium, the tissue integration of dental implants, the biology and the modulation of periodontal and alveolar bone healing and regeneration, diagnosis, epidemiology, prevention and therapy of periodontal disease, the clinical aspects of tooth replacement with dental implants, and the comprehensive rehabilitation of the periodontal patient. Review articles by experts on new developments in basic and applied periodontal science and associated dental disciplines, advances in periodontal or implant techniques and procedures, and case reports which illustrate important new information are also welcome.
