Periodontitis is an immune inflammatory disease that leads to progressive destruction of bone and connective tissue, accompanied by the dysfunction and even loss of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). Pyroptosis mediated by gasdermin-D (GSDMD) participates in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. However, whether pyroptosis mediates PDLSC loss, and inflammation triggered by pyroptosis is involved in the pathological progression of periodontitis remain unclear. Here, we found that PDLSCs suffered GSDMD-dependent pyroptosis to release interleukin-1β (IL-1β) during human periodontitis. Importantly, the increased IL-1β level in gingival crevicular fluid was significantly correlated with periodontitis severity. The caspase-4/GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis caused by periodontal bacteria and cytoplasmic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) dominantly contributed to PDLSC loss. By releasing IL-1β into the tissue microenvironment, pyroptotic PDLSCs inhibited osteoblastogenesis and promoted osteoclastogenesis, which exacerbated the pathological damage of periodontitis. Pharmacological inhibition of caspase-4 or IL-1β antibody blockade in a rat periodontitis model lead to the significantly reduced loss of alveolar bone and periodontal ligament damage. Furthermore, Gsdmd deficiency alleviated periodontal inflammation and bone loss in mouse experimental periodontitis. These findings indicate that GSDMD-driven PDLSC pyroptosis and loss plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of periodontitis by increasing IL-1β release, enhancing inflammation, and promoting osteoclastogenesis. |
