Subcellular photoprotection through precision nutraceuticals: Divergent actions of rutin and punicalagin on redox and mitochondrial homeostasis in human dermal fibroblasts Alessia Riente, Flavio Di Giacinto, Michele Maria De Giulio, Benedetta Niccolini, Elisabetta Tabolacci, Maria Elisabetta Clementi, Marco De Spirito, Giuseppe Maulucci Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B Biology, 2026 Excessive ultraviolet A (UVA) exposure is a major environmental factor contributing to skin photoaging and oxidative damage. Identifying natural compounds that can counteract these effects is increasingly relevant for preventive and personalized healthcare. Precision nutrition uses diet-derived bioactives to modulate molecular pathways in defined cellular contexts. Polyphenols are promising for sustaining redox and metabolic balance under stress. This study examined the photoprotective actions of rutin (buckwheat, citrus peel) and punicalagin (pomegranate) in human dermal fibroblasts exposed to UVA radiation. Phasor-based fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) quantified lipid peroxidation–related oxidative stress ( F ox ) and oxidative phosphorylation activity ( F oxphos ). Mitochondrial morphology was assessed via fission (Fis1) and fusion (MFN2) markers. Though UVA exposure tended to increase oxidative stress, the observed variation is not significant. Rutin provided superior antioxidant protection under UVA stress, substantially reducing F ox to 0.129 ± 0.02 with a near-significant trend, while punicalagin demonstrated stronger baseline antioxidant activity. Both compounds enhanced oxidative phosphorylation under stress: punicalagin increased F oxphos to 0.823 ± 0.02 ( p = 0.004 vs UVA) and rutin to 0.789 ± 0.02 ( p = 0.023 vs UVA). UVA disrupted mitochondrial networks, elevating fission and reducing fusion. Rutin reversed these effects, restoring fusion and reducing fission, whereas punicalagin provided partial recovery. In summary, rutin offered broader cytoprotection by mitigating oxidative stress and preserving mitochondrial integrity, while punicalagin mainly supported metabolic activity. These distinct responses highlight polyphenol-based nutraceuticals as precision tools for targeted skin photoprotection, suggesting their potential use in dietary or topical formulations to counteract everyday UVA exposure and photoaging.
NLRP12 as a Regulator of Inflammation: Insights into the Correlation with Autoinflammatory Disorders Beatrice Rosa, Elisabetta Tabolacci, Roberta Pietrobono, Eugenio Sangiorgi, Fiorella Gurrieri, Pietro Chiurazzi, Ludovico Luca Sicignano, Elena Verrecchia, Maurizio Genuardi, Donato Rigante, Raffaele Manna Genes, 2026 Background: Dysregulation of the innate immune system is a key feature of autoinflammatory disorders, characterized by recurrent or chronic inflammation in the absence of high-titer autoantibodies and antigen-specific T cells. Among regulators of innate immunity, NLRP12 has emerged as an important modulator of inflammatory signaling pathways. As a member of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor (NLR) family, NLRP12 negatively regulates nuclear factor (NF)-κB activity and contributes to immune homeostasis. However, the clinical significance of NLRP12 variants and their association with disease phenotypes remain incompletely understood. This study aims to summarize current knowledge on the molecular role of NLRP12 and its involvement in autoinflammatory manifestations. Methods: A narrative review of the literature on NLRP12’s molecular functions and role in autoinflammatory diseases was performed. In addition, a cohort of 20 patients with recurrent fevers carrying NLRP12 variants was analyzed from a clinical perspective, evaluating genetic findings and clinical features. Results: Available evidence indicates that NLRP12 regulates inflammatory signaling, particularly through modulation of NF-κB activity. Variants in the NLRP12 gene have been associated with a spectrum of autoinflammatory phenotypes, ranging from periodic fever syndromes to broader systemic inflammatory manifestations. Clinical evaluation of the cohort confirmed the heterogeneity of disease presentations among individuals carrying NLRP12 variants. Conclusions: NLRP12 plays an important role in the regulation of innate immune responses and may contribute to autoinflammatory phenotypes. Integrating molecular data with clinical observations may improve the understanding of NLRP12 variants and support more accurate diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
Genetic Determinants of Primary Failure of Eruption: A Comprehensive Review of PTH1R Variants Benedetta Niccolini, Giulia Lauretti, Pietro Chiurazzi, Cristina Grippaudo, Elisabetta Tabolacci Genes, 2026 Primary Failure of Eruption (PFE) is a disorder characterized by aberrant tooth eruption, in which one or more teeth fail to follow the physiological eruptive pathway and remain partially or completely embedded within the bone or soft tissues. Although the etiopathogenesis of PFE is not yet fully elucidated, several contributing factors have been identified, including genetic alterations, hormonal disturbances, and systemic conditions. An expanding body of evidence points to the centrality of genetic determinants in the etiopathogenesis of PFE, supporting its occurrence in both syndromic contexts and non-syndromic presentations. Non-syndromic forms are closely related to heterozygous variants in the Parathyroid Hormone 1 Receptor (PTH1R) gene, located on chromosome 3p21, which encodes a receptor essential for the regulation of bone and dental growth and development. In most cases, pathogenic variants result in a non-functional receptor. To date, a substantial number 50 PTH1R variants have been documented in individuals exhibiting a phenotype consistent with PFE, underscoring the central involvement of this gene in the disorder’s molecular basis. Advances in understanding the genetic contribution to PFE emphasize the need for early diagnosis, as timely identification of the condition can prevent secondary dental complications and reduce reliance in adulthood on invasive orthodontic or surgical interventions, including extractions, orthognathic surgery, and implant-supported rehabilitation. This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the spectrum of PTH1R variants implicated in PFE, examining genotype–phenotype correlations and their implications for diagnostic strategies and clinical management.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with increased intestinal extrachromosomal circular DNA: an emerging biomarker for IBD type and activity Valentina Petito, Daniela Gerovska, Antonia Piazzesi, Federica di Vincenzo, Alessandra Russo, Laura Turchini, Letizia Masi, Valeria Emoli, Elisabetta Tabolacci, Maria Cristina Giustiniani, Tommaso Mazza, Lucrezia Laterza, Alfredo Papa, Loris R Lopetuso, Lorenza Putignani, Antonio Gasbarrini, Marcos J Araúzo-Bravo, Franco Scaldaferri Journal of Crohn S and Colitis, 2026 Background and Aims Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a gastrointestinal, auto-inflammatory disease with a chronic relapsing and remitting course, whose diagnosis is based on several examinations assessing intestinal inflammation and clinical assessment. Furthermore, only 40%-60% of patients respond to therapy, making identification of reliable markers of disease or predictors of disease course and therapy response of great interest to the medical community. The existence of extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) is well established, and has become a promising biomarker for different types of cancer. Here, we investigate eccDNA in patients affected by IBD. Methods Intestinal biopsies were collected from patients and from healthy controls. Circular DNA was enriched, sequenced, identified with Circle Finder, and annotated with bedtools. Patients were then stratified based on disease type and activity. Results Intestinal tissue from IBD patients contained significantly higher levels of eccDNAs than tissue from healthy controls. eccDNA production also was significantly increased in patients with active ulcerative colitis compared to patients in remission. In Crohn’s disease, eccDNAs were more abundant than in healthy controls, though the difference between active and inactive Crohn’s disease was less defined. Furthermore, eccDNAs containing fragments from specific genes were consistently found in a large proportion of patients with IBD, while healthy controls presented with a more stochastic eccDNA pattern. Conclusions Here, we uncover an IBD-specific pattern of eccDNA production from intestinal biopsies. Furthermore, we have identified genic hotspots that characterize active disease. We propose that eccDNA containing specific gene fragments (eg, NRG1 and ZPMF2) could represent a promising new biomarker tool for patients with IBD.
A gap analysis integrating In vitro - Research in HDR interventional radiotherapy (Modern Brachytherapy): Challenges, limitations, and future directions Enrico Rosa, Benedetta Niccolini, Riccardo Di Santo, Bruno Fionda, Maria Vaccaro, Elisa Placidi, Elisabetta Tabolacci, Marco De Spirito, Monica Mangoni, Luca Tagliaferri, Gabriele Ciasca Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 2026 • This is the first gap analysis dedicated to *in vitro* studies using HDR interventional radiotherapy (IRT, brachytherapy), identifying a significant lack of HDR-specific preclinical models. • All reviewed studies employed 2D monolayer cultures; no study integrated physiologically relevant 3D models such as spheroids or organoids. • Most studies focused on cytotoxicity and α/β ratio modeling, while immune-related endpoints, oxidative stress, and bystander effects remain underexplored. • Dosimetric inaccuracies due to non-standard platforms were frequently reported and corrected via Monte Carlo simulations, yet rarely integrated with biological data. • The analysis highlights the need for advanced experimental frameworks combining radiobiology, 3D dosimetry, and biomimetic models to enhance translational relevance of HDR-IRT research.
GAPO syndrome: a comprehensive examination and review of 105 clinical cases Clarissa Modafferi, Pino D’Ambrosio, Silvia Andaloro, Giulia Lauretti, Fulvia Antignani, Maurizio Pompili, Felice Giuliante, Marco Biolato, Benedetta Niccolini, Arcangelo Fargnoli, Francesco Bogliardi, Paola Concolino, Giuseppe Zampino, Angelo Minucci, Maurizio Genuardi, Elisabetta Tabolacci, Pietro Chiurazzi Journal of Medical Genetics, 2026 Growth retardation, alopecia, pseudoanodontia and optic atrophy (GAPO) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the ANTXR1 gene. While significant progress has been made in understanding its molecular basis, no systematic description of the clinical phenotype is available. We conducted a comprehensive review of 105 cases reported in the available literature since the first description of GAPO syndrome in 1947. We summarise here the current understanding of the clinical phenotype and the genetic basis of the condition. Our findings point out the multisystemic nature of GAPO syndrome, primarily featuring skeletal, dermatological and ophthalmological manifestations. The condition is caused by the biallelic loss-of-function of ANTXR1. Histological findings throughout the reported cases underscore the critical role of excessive extracellular matrix deposition in the pathogenesis of GAPO syndrome. The evidence gathered suggests ANTXR1 as an important regulator of extracellular matrix homeostasis. This study highlights the clinical and molecular spectrum of GAPO syndrome. Early recognition, multidisciplinary care and genetic counselling are essential for improving patient outcomes. Future studies should focus on targeted therapies addressing extracellular matrix dysregulation.
Permanent first molar eruption failure in children: leading signs for early diagnosis Cristina Grippaudo, Elisabetta Tabolacci, Marco Farronato, Pietro Chiurazzi, Sylvia A. Frazier-Bowers Progress in Orthodontics, 2025 Background This cross-sectional observational study seeks to determine the clinical differences in eruption failure of permanent first molars presenting in cases of ankylosis, failure due to mechanical obstruction (MFE), and failure due to genetic causes (PFE). A total of 34 patients between 7 and 12 years old (mean ± SD: 9.3 ± 1.28 years), with anomalies in the eruption of the first permanent molars, were selected based on clinical observation, the evaluation of orthopanoramic radiographs, and intra- and extra-oral photographs. Genetic testing was also conducted to identify variants of the PTH1R gene in 27 patients with clinical signs of PFE. The familial nature of the condition was investigated through anamnesis of the first-degree relatives. Results Out of the 34 patients, 3 were diagnosed with PFE, confirmed by the presence of PTH1R variants. Twelve patients showed clinical signs suggestive of MFE diagnosis. The remaining 19 cases, in which no variants of the PTH1R gene were found, were considered cases of ankylosis. Roots in ankylosed teeth were located in the basal bone and often dilacerated. The reduction of vertical growth of the alveolar bone was present in both PFE and ankylosis cases, but teeth were nearer to the basal bone in ankylosis cases. Infraocclusion of deciduous teeth was present in PFE and MFE cases. Asymmetry due to bilaterally unbalanced eruption of the teeth was present in six cases with ankylosis. Bilateral affection was noticed in one PFE case and 6 MFE cases. A descriptive statistical analysis using Fisher’s exact test was employed to evaluate the significant association between variables. Conclusions The study highlighted some characteristic signs that help in early diagnosis of cases of PFE, MFE, and ankylosis. However, genetic testing remains necessary to understand the nature of the most dubious cases.
Transcriptomic profiling of unmethylated full mutation carriers implicates TET3 in FMR1 CGG repeat expansion methylation dynamics in fragile X syndrome Grace Farmiloe, Veronika Bejczy, Elisabetta Tabolacci, Rob Willemsen, Frank Jacobs Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 2025 Background Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by the expansion of a CGG repeat in the 5’UTR of the FMR1 (fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1) gene. Healthy individuals possess a repeat 30–55 CGG units in length. Once the CGG repeat exceeds 200 copies it triggers methylation at the locus. This methylation covers the FMR1 promoter region and silences expression of the gene and the production of FMRP (fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein). The loss of FMRP is responsible for a number of pathologies including neurodevelopmental delay and autism spectrum disorder. Methylation of the expanded repeat in the FMR1 locus is the causal factor for FXS, however it is not known why the expanded repeat triggers this epigenetic change or how exactly DNA methylation is established. Intriguingly, genetic engineering of expanded CGG repeats of over 300 copies in the FMR1 locus in mice remains unmethylated. Also in humans, in very rare cases, individuals can have an FMR1 CGG expansion > 200 copies but the locus remains unmethylated. These unmethylated full mutation (UFM) individuals give us a rare opportunity to investigate the mechanism of FMR1 promoter methylation. Methods Fibroblasts were obtained from a healthy control, an FXS patient and two unmethylated full expansion carriers. RNA was extracted and comparative transcriptomic analysis was performed on all samples. Whole genome sequencing was carried out on DNA from the two UFM carriers and the results analysed to investigate DNA variants that could explain the observed differences in gene expression. Results Our analyses focused on genes involved in epigenetic modification. We show that Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 3 (TET3), a gene involved in DNA methylation, is significantly downregulated in UFM carriers compared to healthy controls or FXS patient derived cells. Genomic analyses reveal a number of rare variants present in the TET3 locus in UFM carriers when compared to the reference genome. However, no clear modifying TET3 variants were identified. Conclusion Our results suggest that TET3 is a candidate factor responsible for the lack of methylation of the expanded FMR1 locus. Further analyses are needed to further elucidate this relationship, however given its potential to directly interact with CGG repeats and its ambiguous role in 5-hydroxy-methylation of CG containing sequences, TET3 is a strong candidate for further exploration.
Polydatin Prevents UVA-Induced Damage in Human Dermal Fibroblasts by Maintaining Mitochondrial Integrity Benedetta Niccolini, Alessia Riente, Duaa Hatem, Patrizia Bottoni, Michela Pizzoferrato, Giuseppe Tringali, Elisabetta Tabolacci, Giuseppe Maulucci, Stefano Marini, Chiara Ciaccio, Maria Elisabetta Clementi Cells, 2025 UVA radiation induces oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cell death in human dermal fibroblasts, contributing to skin aging and damage. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of polydatin, a natural polyphenol, against UVA-induced cell damage. Our results show that polydatin preserves cell viability and reduces intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels after UVA exposure. In addition, polydatin maintains mitochondrial integrity by preserving mitochondrial membrane potential and improving mitochondrial respiration. From a molecular perspective, polydatin regulates the expression of Nrf2, a key regulator of the cellular antioxidant response, thereby promoting cellular defense mechanisms. Additionally, polydatin attenuates UVA-induced mitochondrial fission, supporting a balanced mitochondrial dynamic profile. These results suggest that polydatin exerts a protective effect on UVA-irradiated fibroblasts, highlighting its potential for cosmetic and dermatological applications aimed at preventing photoaging and oxidative skin damage.
The role of sevoflurane exposure on systemic inflammation and neuroinflammation: a systematic review and meta-analysis of in vivo and in vitro studies Francesca Rapido, Valeria Di Franco, Elisabetta Tabolacci, Cinzia Dello Russo, Paola Aceto European Journal of Pharmacology, 2025 Neuroinflammation induced by anaesthetics may negatively affect neurocognitive functions after surgery in humans. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of sevoflurane exposure on systemic inflammation and neuroinflammation and to assess alterations in behavioural/cognitive functions in experimental rodent models not exposed to surgery nor to other inflammatory stimuli. Databases were searched for in vivo and/or in vitro studies examining inflammation after sevoflurane exposure compared to control conditions. Inflammatory biomarkers, including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor alfa (TNFα), at the peak time of production (primary outcomes) were investigated. The secondary outcome was to evaluate the presence of alterations in behavioural/cognitive tests. Subgroup analyses on young and adult rodents were performed for in vivo studies. Thirty-five in vivo and in vitro studies were selected. Results from meta-analyses demonstrated significant increases in the secretion peak of all inflammatory markers in vivo models. Significantly higher plasma peaks of IL-6 (SMD: 7.97, 95 % CI: 4.76-11.17), IL-1β (SMD: 5.71, 95 % CI: 1.88-9.55) and TNFα (SMD: 6.64, 95 % CI: 3.73-9.56) were found only in adult rodents exposed to sevoflurane. Similar findings were observed in brain tissue homogenates. Rodents exposed to sevoflurane exhibited significant alterations in behavioural/cognitive tests and significance persisted only in adult rodents. Sevoflurane exposure may trigger systemic inflammation and neuroinflammation in experimental rodent models with marked effects in adult rodents. Alterations in behavioural/cognitive tests suggest a potential role of sevoflurane in the development of postoperative cognitive disorders in the elderly, independently of surgery. Further research is needed in humans.
