PG - 1559325820952660 LID - 10.1177/1559325820952660 [doi] LID - 1559325820952660 AB - Elevated inflammatory cytokines and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) production are associated with chronic periodontitis (CP). Glycyrrhizin is the major constituent of Glycyrrhiza glabra. L. (Fabaceae) root with anti-inflammation activities. This study evaluated the effects of glycyrrhizin on CP. TNF-alpha-treated human periodontal ligament stem cell (hPDLSC) model was established, and was administrated with 1, 2 or 5 mM glycyrrhizin for 24 h. After treatment, the expression of HMGB1and inflammatory cytokines was monitored. Significantly increased HMGB1 (median: 5646.4, range: 1918.2-8233.7 vs median: 204.5, range: 98.7-283.6, pg/mL), TNF-alpha (median: 345.5, range: 161.0-567.9 vs median: 93.5, range: 58.1-159.3, pg/mL), IL-1beta (median: 2014.6, range: 209.5-4308.1 vs median: 224.5, range: 48.8-335.8, pg/mL) and IL-6 (median: 1223.6, range: 398.2-2183.8 vs median: 240.4, range: 105.2-400.5, pg/mL) were detected in gingival crevicular fluid from CP patients. Glycyrrhizin significantly prevented TNF-alpha-induced expression of HMGB1 (691.5 +/- 136.4 vs 142.8 +/- 57.3 pg/mL), IL-6 (388.1 +/- 85.2 vs 189.4 +/- 61.2 pg/mL) and IL-1beta (176.3 +/- 47.2 vs 53.9 +/- 25.7 pg/mL) in hPDLSC. In CP rats, glycyrrhizin significantly decreased HMGB1 (5795.6 +/- 1121.5 vs 586.4 +/- 436.8 pg/mL), TNF-alpha (421.8 +/- 93.7 vs 87.9 +/- 21.6 pg/mL), IL-6 (1423.8 +/- 235.2 vs 622.6 +/- 176.1 pg/mL) and IL-1beta (1562.8 +/- 334.3 vs 733.5 +/- 265.1 pg/mL) in gingival crevicular fluid. Glycyrrhizin suppresses inflammatory activities in CP rats and represents a promising molecule for controlling CP. CI - (c) The Author(s) 2020.
