Abstract
Background
Panax ginseng Meyer of the Araliaceae family have various biological activities and pharmacological actions such as anticancer, immunomodulation, and anti-inflammatory. In many studies on ginseng, studies on ginseng fruit are still new, and the effect and potential of ginseng fruit on periodontitis in HPDL cells have been investigated in vitro and in vivo.
Methods
HPDL cells were stimulated with PG-LPS for 12 h to evaluate the effects of KGC19b (50–200 μg/mL) on periodontitis. Cell viability, pro-inflammatory markers, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and osteogenesis-related markers were assessed. In the rat model, periodontitis was induced using ligature and PG-LPS, and KGC19b was administered orally for 6 days. The effects of KGC19b were evaluated by micro-CT analysis and H&E staining.
Results
KGC19b reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, restored osteogenic markers, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity, and decreased ROS in HPDL cells. In the rat model, KGC19b alleviated periodontal inflammation and prevented bone mass loss.
Conclusion
In this study, KGC19b shows the possibility of improving and treating periodontitis through anti-inflammatory, osteogenesis, and antibacterial effects.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Ginseng Research (JGR) is an official, open access journal of the Korean Society of Ginseng and is the only international journal publishing scholarly reports on ginseng research in the world. The journal is a bimonthly peer-reviewed publication featuring high-quality studies related to basic, pre-clinical, and clinical researches on ginseng to reflect recent progresses in ginseng research.
JGR publishes papers, either experimental or theoretical, that advance our understanding of ginseng science, including plant sciences, biology, chemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, pharmacokinetics, veterinary medicine, biochemistry, manufacture, and clinical study of ginseng since 1976. It also includes the new paradigm of integrative research, covering alternative medicinal approaches. Article types considered for publication include review articles, original research articles, and brief reports.
JGR helps researchers to understand mechanisms for traditional efficacy of ginseng and to put their clinical evidence together. It provides balanced information on basic science and clinical applications to researchers, manufacturers, practitioners, teachers, scholars, and medical doctors.
