Abstract

Periodontitis can cause damage to dental support tissue and affect the function of periodontal ligament cells. Rutin, a common flavonoid, plays a key role in anti-inflammatory responses, tissue repair and bone development. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of rutin on the oxidative stress, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) in an inflammatory environment and the underlying mechanism. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to stimulate PDLSCs to mimic an inflammatory environment model. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were detected by the dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) probe and the oxidative stress factors were tested by an oxidative stress factor detection kit. Moreover, the proliferation of PDLSCs was evaluated by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. In addition, the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs was determined by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, ALP activity test, alizarin red staining, and alizarin red semi-quantitative analysis. Furthermore, the protein levels of AKT and p-AKT were detected by Western blot. The results showed that rutin inhibited the release of ROS and increased the secretion of oxidative stress factors [superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH)] and promoted the proliferation of PDLSCs in an inflammatory environment. Moreover, rutin upregulated ALP activity and enhanced the number of mineralized nodules. Conversely, the use of LY294002 (an inhibitor of PI3K) blocked the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and prevented the beneficial effects of rutin. In conclusion, rutin promoted the antioxidative stress ability, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs through PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in LPS-induced inflammatory environment.
