Abstract Loss of periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLFs) is one critical issue for regenerating lost tissues. A wide variety regulated cell death pathways, such as apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis have been proposed in the periodontitis development. The aim present study was to explore whether long-term periodontitis-level butyrate may trigger ferroptosis, a newly characterized iron-dependent PDLFs. Here, we showed that treatment butyrate, an important short-chain fatty acid pocket,...

To eliminate invading pathogens and keep homeostasis, host employs multiple approaches such as the non-inflammation associated-apoptosis, inflammation associated-necroptosis pyroptosis, etc. Necroptosis is known a highly pro-inflammatory form of cell death due to release massive damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). For first time, we reported that Porphyromonas gingivalis induced cellular necroptosis through receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1)/RIP3/mixed lineage kinase domain-like...

Iron homeostasis plays a crucial role in the combat against pathogen invasion. Ferrous iron can trigger generous production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by Fenton reaction. Nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4), selective cargo to deliver ferritin lysosome, may release ferritin-bound into cytosol. The aim present study was explore whether NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy participated pathogenesis periodontitis, and its promoting periodontal inflammation.Inflamed healthy tissues were...
