Abstract

Clinically, periodontitis is a chronic nonspecific inflammation that leads to damaged teeth and their supporting gum tissues. Although many studies on periodontitis have been conducted, therapy with natural products is still rare. Silibinin has been proven to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. However, the effects of silibinin on lipopolyssacharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in periodontal ligaments (PDLs) have not yet been investigated. In this study, the PDLs were treated with silibinin (10, 20, and 40 μM) in the presence of LPS. The results showed that silibinin treatment reduced the levels of NO, PGE, IL-6, TNF-α, MMP-1, and MMP-3 and enhanced the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH). Moreover, silibinin treatment downregulated RANKL levels and upregulated OPG and ALP levels. In summary, silibinin protected PDLs against LPS-induced inflammation, oxidative stress, and osteogenic differentiation.
