Abstract

Abstrct: BACKGROUND: Apoptotic vesicles (ApoVs), which are extracellular vesicles released by apoptotic cells, have been reported to exhibit substantial therapeutic potential for inflammatory diseases and tissue regeneration. While extensive research has been dedicated to mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), the investigation into immune cell-derived ApoVs remains limited, particularly regarding the function and fate of macrophage-derived ApoVs in the context of periodontitis (PD).

Results: Our study corroborates the occurrence and contribution of resident macrophage Apoptosis in Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg)-associated PD. The findings unveil the pivotal role played by apoptotic macrophages and their derived ApoVs in orchestrating periodontal bone remodeling. The enrichments of diverse functional miRNAs within these ApoVs are discerned through Sequencing techniques. Moreover, our study elucidates that the macrophage-derived ApoVs predominantly deliver miR-143-3p, targeting insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 (IGFBP5), thereby disrupting periodontal bone homeostasis.

Conclusions: Our study reveals that macrophages in Pg-associated PD undergo Apoptosis and generate miR-143-3p-enriched ApoVs to silence IGFBP5, resulting in the perturbation of osteogenic-osteoclastic balance and the ensuing periodontal bone destruction. Accordingly, interventions targeting miR-143-3p in macrophages or employment of Apoptosis inhibitor Z-VAD hold promise as effective therapeutic strategies for the management of PD.
