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.RESULTSSenescent 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.CONCLUSIONActivation of mitophagy reverses age-associated declines in osteogenic function, highlighting mitophagy as a therapeutic target for enhancing bone repair in the ageing population.","PeriodicalId":15380,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Periodontology","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145008713","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}

This study aims to identify circulating druggable proteins causally linked to the disease.Materials and MethodsWe integrated proteomics data from deCODE genetics with periodontitis genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) from the Million Veteran Program to identify proteins associated with periodontitis. Findings were replicated using GWAS data from the Gene‐Lifestyle Interactions in Dental Endpoints consortium. Causal associations were validated using genetic and statistical methods, and the identified proteins were assessed for biological relevance and druggability.ResultsAmong the 2088 evaluated proteins, three showed robust evidence of causal association with periodontitis: FGF2 (fibroblast growth factor 2) (odds ratio [OR]: 1.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.032–1.082), AZGP1 (zinc‐alpha‐2‐glycoprotein) (OR: 1.12, 95% CI 1.058–1.189) and BTC (betacellulin) (OR: 0.86, 95% CI 0.789–0.942).
