Abstract Periodontitis is a frequent chronic inflammatory disorder destroying periodontium. Recent studies have revealed the role of bromodomain and extraterminal domain inhibitor (BETi) and microRNA (miR)-130a in regulating macrophage polarization and pro-inflammatory response. However, little is known about whether apabetalone (a novel BETi) and miR-130a are correlated with chronic inflammatory state in periodontitis by regulating macrophage polarization. Here murine RAW264.7 macrophages were applied as an in vitro inflammatory model. After treatment with Porphyromonas gingivalis-derived lipopolysaccharide (Pg LPS) and apabetalone, the expression of macrophage M1 polarization markers and inflammatory cytokines was assessed using real-time PCR, western blot, and enzyme-linked… More >
