RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of IL-10 on the phenotype polarization of macrophages and osteogenesis in diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) rat jaw defects. METHODS: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were chosen to induce the polarization of macrophages. In vitro assessment included wound-healing assay, western blotting, and alizarin red staining after co-culture of the bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and induced macrophages. For in vivo study, IL-10 was loaded on GelMA-Heparin and applied to bone defects of the alveolar ridge in diabetic rats, while Bio-Oss Collagen, simple GelMA-Heparin, and blank control groups were set for contrast experiment. The mandibles of rats were processed for micro-computed tomography, histology, and immunohistochemistry 1 week and 4 weeks after the operation. RESULTS: IL-10 induced expression of arginase 1, TGF-ß1, EGR2, and Mannose Receptor (CD206), whereas LPS induced expression of iNOS, TNF-α, IL-6, CD80. The BMSCs co-cultured with macrophages induced by IL-10 showed increased migration, osteogenic differentiation, and mineralization in vitro. Notably, the IL-10-laden GelMA-Heparin group showed quicker new bone formation and a higher M2/M1 ratio of macrophages in the jawbone defect area compared with the control groups. CONCLUSIONS: IL-10 can stably induce macrophages to M2 type, thereby influencing BMSCs and improving the osteogenesis of jaw bone defects.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Periodontal disease is a leading cause of tooth loss, and microRNA (miRNA) has been shown to regulate various biological processes. This study aimed to quantitatively analyze the literature related to miRNA in periodontology and dental implantology and summarize the research hotspots and trends in this field. METHODS: Literature records from 1985 to 2020 were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection database. After manual selection, the data was used for cooperative network analysis, keyword co-occurrence analysis, and reference co-citation analysis and visualized by CiteSpace. RESULTS: A total of 287 papers were analyzed between 2007 and 2020, and more than 95% of them were published in the past decade. The largest number of publications were from China, followed by the USA and Japan. The direct cooperation among the productive institutions was not close. At present, most of the research belongs to the discipline of dentistry, oral surgery, cell biology, and molecular biology. Literature clusters generated by reference co-citation analysis and keyword co-occurrence network showed that previous studies mainly focused on four hotspots: periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), the pathological process of periodontitis, osteogenic differentiation/bone regeneration, and the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. CONCLUSIONS: The therapeutic potential of miRNA in promoting bone formation and how the ceRNA network contributes to miRNA regulation at a deeper level have become the two main research trends of this field.
