Periodontal pathogens initiate various diseases and induce inflammatory host responses. The activation of inflammasomes triggers caspase-1 interleukin (IL)-1β-mediated pyroptosis via gasdermin D (GSDMD). Differentiated embryo chondrocyte 2 (Dec2) is a transcription repressor that controls the expression genes involved in innate immune However, effects Dec2 on inflammasome-induced periodontal tissues remain elusive. This study aimed to characterize contribute P. gingivalis lipopolysaccharide...

MicroRNAs are emerging as critical post-transcriptional modulators in bone remodeling, regulating the functions of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Intercellular crosstalk between osteoclasts is mediated by miR-21 that controls homeostasis response, providing potential targets for maintenance osteoblast function. The aim this study was to investigate effects on function, explore underlying mechanism. Increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity accelerated matrix mineralization observed mouse...

Macrophages play crucial roles as early responders to bacterial pathogens and promote/ or impede chronic inflammation in various tissues. Periodontal macrophage-induced pyroptosis results physiological pathological inflammatory responses. The transcription factor Dec2 is involved regulating immune function processes. To characterize the potential unknown role of innate system, we sought elucidate mechanism that may alleviate macrophage periodontal inflammation.Porphyromonas gingivalis...

Transcriptional regulation of autophagy depends on the transcription factors coordinated inflammatory feedback mechanism. Here, we provide a comprehensive functional characterization periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLFs) treated with Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (LPS), aiming to reveal previously unappreciated biological changes and investigate how factor differentiated embryonic chondrocytes 2 (Dec2)-deficient environment influences function in nflamed human PDLFs.

Autophagy is a highly conserved intracellular digestion process that degrades damaged proteins and organelles but the biological roles of autophagy in pathological aspects oral tissues remain largely unknown. We sought to elucidate function autophagy, especially its interplay with apoptosis oxidative stress, toxicity induced by exposure 5 mM sodium fluoride (NaF). Human cementoblasts (HCEM-2) culture were exposed NaF for min, after which cell viability assessed using MTS assay an Annexin...

Intracellular signaling complexes of the innate immune system orchestrate development inflammation. Porphyromonas gingivalis is a commensal bacterium that induces periodontal pyroptosis. The transcription factor Dec1 can regulate expression inflammatory molecules. In this study, we investigated whether deficiency activates/represses Caspase-1 and/or Gasdermin-D in pyroptosis, resulting release proinflammatory mediator interleukin-1β. human ligament fibroblasts (HPDLFs) treated with P....

Pro-inflammatory cytokines activate the fibroblasts that reside in periodontal tissues and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) are responsible for a substantial part of destruction caused by host response. The resident anaerobic bacteria interact with inflammatory reactions leading to hypoxic environment pocket. Expression transcription factor Differentiated Embryonic-Chondrocytes Expressed Gene 1 (DEC1) is regulated hypoxia, growth factors cytokines. To reveal biological relevance hypoxia...

State of health (SOH) estimation plays an important role in battery management system. This problem is addressed by introducing a second-order RC equivalent circuit model (ECM) and square root extended kalman filter (SREKF) this work. According to the ECM, ohmic resistance (R <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0</sub> ) which represents SOH molded as state vector, lithium obtained using internal relationship between ohm SOH.

Autonomous rhythmicity of clock genes controls the circadian rhythm and endogenous rhythms regulates various biochemical, physiological, biological processes,with a periodicity about 24 h. Entrainment cells detects distinct patterns oscillation for genes. Although disruptions have been implicated in cancer development, altered human oral remains largely unknown. Here we show that, upon entrainment by serum shock, cultured epithelial cell line, HSC-3, maintain an inner oscillator, with key...
