Abstract: BACKGROUND: Periodontitis is an inflammatory and destructive disease with plaque biofilm as the main pathogenic material, which occurs in the gingiva, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone and cementum. The antigen of bacterial complex and its secreted toxin and enzyme directly lead to the destruction of periodontal tissue and trigger the host’s immune response, causing indirect damage to the body tissue. Silence information regulatory factors (Sirtuins, SIRTs) play an important role in anti-aging, anti-oxidative stress, regulating inflammation, and mediating autophagy, and are closely related to the occurrence and development of periodontitis.
OBJECTIVE: To review the research status of Sirtuins in periodontitis.
METHODS: The first author used the computer to search the relevant research regarding the role of Sirtuins in periodontitis in PubMed, Web of Scene, CNKI and WanFang databases. The key words were “Sirtuins, Sirtuin1-7, periodontitis” in English and Chinese. After literature screening, 57 articles were included for review and analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: SIRT1, SIRT2, SIRT3, and SIRT6 participate in regulating the occurrence and development of periodontitis. Inhibition of SIRT1 expression may be the target of periodontitis treatment, while overexpression of SIRT1 can inhibit periodontitis and protect periodontal tissue. The activator of SIRT1 can reduce the inflammation of periodontal tissue and improve the systemic pathological changes caused by periodontitis. SIRT2 is involved in nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase-mediated periodontal inflammation and plays a role in the treatment and prognosis of periodontal diseases. SIRT3 can improve age-related periodontal disease. Gastrodin promotes the osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells through the up-regulation of SIRT3. The activator of SIRT3 reduces the damage of periodontitis to periodontal and renal tissues by regulating the level of autophagy in the cells. SIRT6 can inhibit the inflammatory reaction of periodontal tissue and inhibit the differentiation and mineralization of cementoblasts. SIRT6 is beneficial to the prognosis of periapical periodontitis. The relationship between SIRT4, SIRT5, SIRT7 and periodontitis is rarely reported.
