BACKGROUND: Histone methylation is considered to play an important role in the occurrence and development of periodontitis. Plant homeodomain finger protein 8 (PHF8), a histone demethylase, has been shown to regulate inflammation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). This study aimed to detect the functions of PHF8 and TLR4 in osteogenic differentiation in an inflammatory environment induced by Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (Pg-LPS) METHODS: A periodontitis mouse model was established, and the mice were treated with TAK-242. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of PHF8 in periodontal tissue. Periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) were treated with mineralization induction medium supplemented with Pg-LPS and/or TAK-242, and a Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to detect the proliferation of PDLCs. Real-time PCR and western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels, respectively, of PHF8, toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and the other osteogenic markers alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OCN), Special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 2 (Satb2) and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) RESULTS: Periodontitis reduced PHF8 expression in periodontal tissue, and TAK-242 partially reversed this downregulation. An in vitro experiment revealed that the mRNA and protein expression levels of PHF8 were significantly upregulated during the osteogenic differentiation of PDLCs. Alizarin red staining showed that the mineralized nodules of PDLCs in osteogenic induction group were more than those in control group. Real-time PCR and western blot results indicated that Pg-LPS inhibited PHF8 expression and upregulated TLR4 expression in PDLCs. TAK-242 inhibited TLR4 and partially reversed the inhibition of PHF8 expression and osteogenic differentiation induced by Pg-LPS in PDLCs CONCLUSION: PHF8 and TLR4 play important roles in periodontitis. Pg-LPS inhibits the expression of PHF8 via upregulation of TLR4 and might further inhibit the osteogenic differentiation of PDLCs. However, the specific mechanisms involved remain to be explored.
