Periodontitis is a complicated inflammatory disease that damages the tooth-supporting tissues, with limited pharmacotherapy available. Macrophage-targeting therapy is promising for inflammatory diseases. Resveratrol (RSV), a nonflavonoid polyphenol, is known for its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. However, its medical application is limited by its poor stability and water-solubility, as well as its low bioavailability.
A therapeutic resveratrol-loaded liposomal system (Lipo-RSV) was developed to treat periodontitis. The physical properties of Lipo-RSV and its ability to regulate macrophages were investigated. The results showed that Lipo-RSV had good biocompatibility and could re-educate the inflammatory macrophages from M1- to M2-like phenotype through activating p-STAT3 and downregulating p-STAT1. Besides, the Lipo-RSV could scavenge ROS and inhibit the NF-κB signal and inflammasomes, thereby reducing the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α.
These results revealed that Lipo-RSV could be a potential therapeutic system for the antibiotic-free treatment for periodontal diseases.
牙周炎是一种复杂的炎症性疾病,会破坏牙齿支持组织,目前可用的药物治疗有限。针对炎症性疾病的巨噬细胞靶向治疗具有广阔的前景。白藜芦醇(RSV)是一种非黄酮多酚,具有抗炎和免疫调节作用。然而,其医学应用受到其较差的稳定性、水溶性以及低生物利用度的限制。
开发了一种负载白藜芦醇的脂质体系统(Lipo-RSV)来治疗牙周炎。研究了 Lipo-RSV 的物理性质及其对巨噬细胞的调节作用。结果表明,Lipo-RSV 具有良好的生物相容性,可通过激活 p-STAT3 和下调 p-STAT1 将炎症性巨噬细胞从 M1 样表型重编程为 M2 样表型。此外,Lipo-RSV 可以清除 ROS 并抑制 NF-κB 信号和炎症小体,从而减少促炎细胞因子 IL-1β、IL-6 和 TNF-α。
这些结果表明,Lipo-RSV 可能成为一种用于牙周病无抗生素治疗的有潜力的治疗系统。
