Abstract:

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of enhancer of Zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) inhibitor GSK343 on periodontitis by regulating microphage differentiation. Methods Macrophage RAW264.7 cells were divided into the blank (A group), control (B group), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation (C group), and LPS+GSK343 (D group) groups. Phenotype transformations was determined through Western blot analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay by detecting the differentiation of phenotypic biological markers, including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and Arginase-1 (Arg-1). Metergasis was identified by performing a phagocytosis test on Esche-richia coli (E. coli). Results Macrophage RAW264.7 cells produced classical phenotypic biomarkers (M1) TNF-α and iNOS under LPS stimulation. The expression levels of IL-10 and Arg-1 increased after adding GSK343 into the culture medium. GSK343 also induced the conversion of M1 macrophages into M2 macrophages. Macrophage RAW264.7 cells exerted a phagocytic effect on E. coli, and this effect was enhanced after adding LPS into the culture medium. GSK343 regulated the macrophage RAW264.7 phagocytosis of E. coli. Conclusion GSK343 possibly participates in the regulation of macrophage differentiation and, consequently, in the latent treatment of periodontitis.
