AI Article Synopsis
- The periodontal immune microenvironment is a complex system involving various immune cells like neutrophils, macrophages, T cells, and mesenchymal stem cells that can lead to inflammation and tissue damage when imbalanced.
- The review highlights the characteristics of these immune cells and their roles in the development of periodontitis and bone remodeling, focusing on how they interact within the immune regulatory network.
- It suggests that future treatments for periodontitis should explore new targeted drugs and technologies to better understand and regulate the local microenvironment, offering a foundation for further research in this area.
Article Abstract
The periodontal immune microenvironment is a delicate regulatory system that involves a variety of host immune cells including neutrophils, macrophages, T cells, dendritic cells and mesenchymal stem cells. The dysfunction or overactivation of any kind of local cells, and eventually the imbalance of the entire molecular regulatory network, leads to periodontal inflammation and tissue destruction. In this review, the basic characteristics of various host cells in the periodontal immune microenvironment and the regulatory network mechanism of host cells involved in the pathogenesis of periodontitis and periodontal bone remodeling are summarized, with emphasis on the immune regulatory network that regulates the periodontal microenvironment and maintains a dynamic balance. Future strategies for the clinical treatment of periodontitis and periodontal tissue regeneration need to develop new targeted synergistic drugs and/or novel technologies to clarify the regulatory mechanism of the local microenvironment. This review aims to provide clues and a theoretical basis for future research in this field.

(), a periodontal pathogen, has been implicated in the impairment of anti-tumor responses in colorectal cancer (CRC). The tumor microenvironment in CRC involves tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), which are pivotal in modulating tumor-associated immune responses. The polarization of TAMs towards an M2-like phenotype promotes CRC progression by suppressing the immune system.

Disulfidptosis, which was recently identified, has shown promise as a potential cancer treatment. Nonetheless, the precise role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in this phenomenon is currently unclear. To elucidate their significance in bladder cancer (BLCA), a signature of disulfidptosis-related lncRNAs (DRlncRNAs) was developed and their potential prognostic significance was explored.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer, with the worst prognosis among all subtypes. The impact of distinct cell subpopulations within the tumor microenvironment (TME) on TNBC patient prognosis has yet to be clarified.
Methods: Utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) integrated with bulk RNA sequencing (bulk RNA-seq), we applied Cox regression models to compute hazard ratios, and cross-validated prognostic scoring using a GLMNET-based Cox model.

Thyroid cancer has become the most common endocrine malignancy. Although the majority of differentiated thyroid cancers have a favorable prognosis, advanced thyroid cancers, iodine-refractory thyroid cancers, and highly malignant undifferentiated carcinomas still face a serious challenge of poor prognosis and even death. Cancer stem cells are recognized as one of the central drivers of tumor evolution, recurrence and treatment resistance.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is involved in cancer initiation and progression. With advances in the TME field, numerous therapeutic approaches, such as antiangiogenic treatment and immune checkpoint inhibitors, have been inspired and developed. Nevertheless, the sophisticated regulatory effects on the biological balance of the TME remain unclear.
