RA and periodontitis are both multifactorial chronic inflammatory diseases that share common modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. There is no cure for RA; treatment is based on lifestyle modifications and a variety of medications: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), glucocorticoids, and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs, e.g., conventional synthetic DMARDs [csDMARDs]; biological DMARDs [bDMARD] and targeted synthetic DMARDs). There are molecular pathways of inflammation that are common to both RA and periodontitis. Thus, there is a potential effect of RA treatments on periodontitis. This systematic review aims to assess the impact of antirheumatic agents on periodontal conditions of patients suffering from both RA and periodontitis.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Embase online databases were systematically explored, and a manual search was performed to identify relevant studies published until January 2023.

The importance of coordinated signaling between M-CSF/receptor activator of the nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL) in physiological and pathological bone remodeling and alveolar bone loss in response to oral bacterial colonization is well established. However, our knowledge about the IL-34/RANKL signaling in periodontal bone loss remains limited. Recently published cohort studies have demonstrated that the expression patterns of IL-34 are dramatically elevated in gingival crevicular fluid collected from patients with periodontitis. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the effects of IL-34 on osteoclastogenesis in vitro and in experimental ligature-mediated model of periodontitis using male mice. Our initial in vitro study demonstrated increased RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis of IL-34-primed osteoclast precursors (OCPs) compared to M-CSF-primed OCPs. Using an experimental model of ligature-mediated periodontitis, we further demonstrated elevated expression of IL-34 in periodontal lesions. In contrast, M-CSF levels were dramatically reduced in these periodontal lesions. Furthermore, local injections of mouse recombinant IL-34 protein significantly elevated cathepsin K activity, increased the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive osteoclasts and promoted alveolar bone loss in periodontitis lesions. In contrast, anti-IL-34 neutralizing monoclonal antibody significantly reduced the level of alveolar bone loss and the number of TRAP-positive osteoclasts in periodontitis lesions. No beneficial effects of locally injected anti-M-CSF neutralizing antibody were observed in periodontal lesions.

We hypothesize that one or more of these cell types will hydrolyze the serine/glycine lipids. The primary aim was to treat these cell types for increasing time in culture with individual highly enriched serine/glycine lipid preparations. At specified times, cells and culture media samples were harvested and extracted for hydrolysis products. The serine/glycine lipids and hydrolysis products were quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and free fatty acids were quantified using gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer. LC-MS analysis used two different mass spectrometric methods. This study revealed that treatment of HGF or macrophage (THP1) cells with lipid (L) 654 resulted in breakdown to L342 and subsequent release into culture medium. However, L654 was converted only to L567 in gingival keratinocytes. By contrast, L1256 was converted to L654 by fibroblasts and macrophages but no further hydrolysis or release into medium was observed. Gingival keratinocytes showed no hydrolysis of L1256 to smaller lipid products but because L1256 was not recovered in these cells, it is not clear what hydrolysis products are produced from L1256. Although primary cultures of gingival fibroblasts and macrophages are capable of hydrolyzing specific serine/glycine lipids, prior analysis of lipid extracts from diseased gingival tissues revealed significantly elevated levels of L1256 in diseased tissues.
