Summary: | Periodontal disease is predominantly caused by the pathogenic bacterium
that produces inflammation-inducing factors in the host.
is a plant native to China that has been reported to reduce blood pressure, promote weight loss, and exhibit anti-inflammatory effects. Geniposidic acid (GPA) is the major component of
. Herein, we investigated the effects of GPA on
-induced periodontitis by measuring the inflammatory responses in human gingival epithelial cells (HGECs) after
stimulation and GPA addition in a
-induced periodontitis mouse model. We found that GPA addition suppressed interleukin (IL)-6 mRNA induction (33.8% suppression), IL-6 production (69.2% suppression), toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 induction, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation in HGECs stimulated by
Inoculation of mice with GPA inhibited
-induced alveolar bone resorption (25.6% suppression) by suppressing IL-6 and TLR2 production in the serum and gingiva. GPA suppressed osteoclast differentiation of bone marrow cells induced by M-CSF and sRANKL in mice (56.7% suppression). GPA also suppressed the mRNA expression of OSCAR, NFATc1, c-Fos, cathepsin K, and DC-STAMP. In summary, GPA exerts an anti-inflammatory effect on periodontal tissue and may be effective in preventing periodontal disease. |
