MIH was assessed according to Ghanim's criteria. The outcomes were Periodontitis Indicators, a continuous latent variable estimated on the basis of the common variance shared by the indicators bleeding on probing (BoP), probing pocket depth (PPD ≥ 4 mm) and clinical attachment level (CAL ≥ 3 mm), as well as periodontitis cases defined according to CDC‐AAP. Structural equation modelling was used, and the models were adjusted for lower socioeconomic status, sex, smoking, triglycerides/high‐density lipoprotein (TG/HDL) (mg/dL) and visible plaque index. Two other approaches were used for sensitivity analysis: (i) logistic regression, considering the effect of MIH on periodontitis (CDC/AAP) at the individual level, and (ii) multilevel regression to evaluate the association of MIH with CAL and PPD, considering the tooth as the unit of analysis, adjusted for other tooth‐level and individual‐level variables.ResultsThe prevalence of MIH was 16.86% (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 423). Individuals with MIH had higher values of the Periodontitis Indicators through a direct pathway (standardized coefficient [SC] = 0.193, <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> &lt; 0.001) and indirectly mediated by biofilm (SC = 0.263, <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> &lt; 0.001).

However, its role in periodontitis remains unclear. We sought to elucidate the effects of circFOXO3 on periodontitis progression and related molecular mechanisms.MethodsReverse‐transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction and fluorescence in situ hybridization were used to quantify and localize circFOXO3 expression. The mechanism by which circFOXO3 promotes inflammation in periodontitis was investigated using epithelial cells, human gingival epithelium and a rat model of ligature‐induced periodontitis.ResultscircFOXO3 expression was abnormally high in the gingival epithelial tissues of patients with periodontitis. Elevated circFOXO3 levels down‐regulated microRNA (miR)‐141‐3p, leading to increased FOXO3 expression. FOXO3 interacted with JunB to form a transcriptional‐repression complex that inhibited the integrin β6 (ITGβ6)‐mediated activation of transforming growth factor β (TGF‐β) in epithelial cells. Through the miR‐141‐3p/FOXO3/JunB axis, circFOXO3 suppressed TGF‐β signalling, thereby exacerbating periodontal inflammation. Finally, circFOXO3 inhibition hindered disease progression and restored TGF‐β activity in vivo via the FOXO3/JunB/ITGβ6 pathway.ConclusionOur study identified a novel mechanism by which circFOXO3 contributes to periodontal inflammation through a complex transcriptional regulatory network involving miR‐141‐3p, FOXO3, JunB and ITGβ6.

This prospective study aimed to examine the role of diet and ageing in the associations between chewing capacity and long‐term mortality.MethodsData were obtained from participants (aged ≥ 20) in the National Health Nutritional and Health Survey (NHANES 1999–2010, <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 22,900). The mortality follow‐up ended on 31 December 2019. Chewing capacity was determined by the number of functional tooth units (FTUs). Diet information in NHANES was collected using a 24‐h‐recall questionnaire, and diet quality was measured by three index‐based dietary patterns, namely the nutrition index (NI), energy‐adjusted dietary inflammatory index (E‐DII) and healthy eating index‐2015 (HEI‐2015). The biological ageing process was reflected using phenotypic age acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel) and frailty index. Mediation analyses were conducted to assess the role of diet quality in the association between FTUs and ageing, as well as the role of ageing in the association between impaired chewing capacity (ICC) and mortality.ResultsParticipants with more FTUs were found to have a slower biological ageing process. Diet quality scores were estimated to mediate 9.0%–23.0% of the association between chewing capacity and biological ageing. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models found a positive association between ICC and all‐cause mortality (hazard ratio = 1.282 [95% confidence interval: 1.189–1.382]). Also, ICC was significantly associated with a 28.9% higher risk of mortality due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and a 32.7% higher risk of mortality due to cancer. Mediation analyses indicated that PhenoAgeAccel mediated the effect of ICC on all‐cause, CVD and cancer mortality with proportions of 18.1%, 17.3% and 12.5%, respectively. Similar mediating proportions were observed in the frailty index (range: 11.6%–23.5%).ConclusionsICC was associated with poorer diet quality and accelerated ageing, resulting in higher mortality risk. Therefore, it is plausible that dietary interventions and oral rehabilitation would promote healthy longevity, although further investigations are needed.","PeriodicalId":15380,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Periodontology","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142968234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
