Individual and Combined Effects of Selective Cyclooxygenase‐2 Inhibitor and Omega‐3 Fatty Acid on Endotoxin‐Induced Periodontitis in Rats

Abstract: The results of the present study indicate that celecoxib and omega-3 fatty acid, when used individually, show a rather partial effect on the control of the analyzed mediators, but when combined they show a synergic effect and provide significant reductions in the gingival tissue levels of PGE2, PGF2alpha, LTB4, and PAF in LPS-induced experimental periodontitis. These findings may pioneer further clinical human studies investigating the possible place of celecoxib and omega-3 fatty acid in periodontal treatment. Show more

“…Biosynthesis of PGE 2 involves the translocation of NF-B (9) and expression of COX and PGE synthase (16). Historically, blocking agents have been used to counteract PGE 2 production (57,59). Most of these agents were found to abolish PGE 2 production through complete blockage of COX (33).…”

“…The effects of NSAIDs on PGE 2 levels (2,13), gingival inflammation (17) and alveolar bone loss (16,18,19) have been widely examined in human, animal and in vitro experiments (6,20). In general, the results have shown beneficial effect the early phase of periodontal treatment, gingivitis and prevention of bone loss.…”

“…In short-term studies (14 days), using a LPS-induced experimental periodontitis rat model, omega-3 fatty acid significantly reduced the gingival tissue levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE 2 ), PGF 2α , leukotriene B4 (LTB 4 ), platelet-activating factor (PAF) [72] and matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP-8) expression and increased tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP) expression levels [73], but this supplement was not effective in preventing alveolar bone loss [74]. The combination of omega-3 fatty acid and celecoxib showed a synergistic effect and yielded significant reductions in the gingival tissue levels of PGE 2 , PGF 2α , LTB 4 and PAF in this animal model [75]. In long-term studies (22 weeks), an omega-3 fatty acid-supplemented diet in rats infected with P. gingivalis was related to significantly reduced alveolar bone resorption [76] and decreased proinflammatory cytokine gene expression, such as for interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) or tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and enhanced interferon gamma (IFN-γ), catalase and superoxide dismutase mRNA expression in gingival tissues [77].…”
