The Relevance of DNA Methylation and Histone Modification in Periodontitis: A Scoping Review
2022
Overview
Background: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease involving an interplay between bacteria, inflammation, host response genes, and environmental factors. The manifestation of epigenetic factors during periodontitis pathogenesis and periodontal inflammation is still not well understood, with limited reviews on histone modification with periodontitis management. This scoping review aims to evaluate current evidence of global and specific DNA methylation and histone modification in periodontitis and discuss the gaps and implications for future research and clinical practice. Methods: A scoping literature search of three electronic databases was performed in SCOPUS, MEDLINE (PubMed) and EMBASE. As epigenetics in periodontitis is an emerging research field, a scoping review was conducted to identify the extent of studies available and describe the overall context and applicability of these results. Results: Overall, 30 studies were evaluated, and the findings confirmed that epigenetic changes in periodontitis comprise specific modifications to DNA methylation patterns and histone proteins modification, which can either dampen or promote the inflammatory response to bacterial challenge. Conclusions: The plasticity of epigenetic modifications has implications for the future development of targeted epi-drugs and diagnostic tools in periodontitis. Such advances could be invaluable for the early detection and monitoring of susceptible individuals.
