Drug-induced gingival overgrowth in renal transplants patients Sarah Monserrat Lomelí-Martínez, Melissa Martínez-Nieto, Ruth Rodríguez-Montaño, Mario Alberto Alarcón-Sánchez, Juan José Varela Hernández, Adrián Fernando Gutiérrez-Maldonado, Juan Carlos Gomez-Mireles, Christian Ramírez Sánchez, Erandis Dheni Torres-Sánchez Open Medicine Poland, 2026 Introduction This narrative review describes the scientific evidence on drug-induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO) in kidney transplant patients treated with immunosuppressive agents, particularly Cyclosporine A, focusing on its prevalence, pathogenetic mechanisms, and clinical management strategies. Content This study was conducted including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, highlighting clinical studies and case reports. Summary DIGO is an oral complication in transplant patients treated with cyclosporine A, and its frequency may increase when combined with calcium channel blockers. However, tacrolimus has shown a lower incidence of DIGO compared with Cyclosporine A, making it a favorable therapeutic alternative in immunosuppressive regimens for renal transplant patients. Mycophenolate mofetil, despite being less directly linked to DIGO, can exacerbate gingival changes when combined with other immunosuppressants by promoting inflammation and connective tissue remodeling. Sirolimus is associated with a lower risk of DIGO compared with calcineurin inhibitors; however, some isolated cases have been reported, particularly in patients previously exposed to Cyclosporine A or when used in combination with calcium channel blockers. Management strategies include proper oral hygiene, dose adjustment or medication substitution, and, in some cases surgical intervention. Outlook The fundamental keys to reducing its incidence and severity are a personalized immunosuppressive regimen with a multidisciplinary approach.
Overexpression of the IL-23/IL-17A Axis and Their Receptors (IL-23R and IL-17RA) in Gingival Tissue of Patients With Periodontitis Sonia I. Vázquez-Jiménez, Ruth Rodríguez-Montaño, Vianeth M. Martínez-Rodríguez, Juan M. Guzmán-Flores, Ana L. Zamora-Perez, Susana del Toro Arreola, Celia Guerrero-Velázquez International Journal of Dentistry, 2026 Background Periodontitis is a chronic immunoinflammatory disease involving various components that affect the tissues surrounding the tooth. The host immune response to the presence of periodontopathogenic microorganisms activates several cytokine systems involved in alveolar bone resorption in periodontitis; among them is the receptor activator of nuclear factor‐κB (RANK)/receptor activator of nuclear factor‐κB ligand (RANKL) system, which depends on the interleukin (IL)‐23/IL‐17 axis. There is a tendency toward increased IL‐23, IL‐17, and IL‐17 receptor (IL‐17RA) and a discrepancy in IL‐23 receptor (IL‐23R) in gingival tissue (GT) of patients with periodontitis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to quantify the expression of the IL‐23/IL‐17A axis using the western blotting (WB) technique in GT samples from patients with periodontitis. Materials and Methods This cross‐sectional study included 49 subjects: 25 healthy subjects and 24 subjects with periodontitis. GT samples were collected during periodontal surgery. WB was used to evaluate the levels of IL‐23, IL‐17A, IL‐23R, and IL‐17RA. Results We found a significant increase in IL‐23, IL‐17A, IL‐23R, and IL‐17RA protein levels in the periodontitis group compared with the healthy group; we also detected bands with unexpected molecular weights for both receptors. Moreover, we found a significant positive correlation between IL‐23 and IL‐17A with both receptors, while IL‐23, IL‐17A, IL‐23R, and IL‐17RA correlated positively with two periodontal clinical parameters, namely the clinical attachment level and the percentage of radiographic bone loss (%RBL). Conclusion In this study, we detected overexpression of IL‐23, IL‐17A, and their receptors in GT of patients with periodontitis, confirming that the IL‐23/IL‐17A axis is involved in periodontal disease.
Diagnostic Accuracy of Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin in Peritoneal Effluent and Ascitic Fluid for Early Detection of Peritonitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Manuel Luis Prieto-Magallanes, José David González-Barajas, Violeta Aidee Camarena-Arteaga, Bladimir Díaz-Villavicencio, Juan Alberto Gómez-Fregoso, Ana María López-Yáñez, Ruth Rodríguez-Montaño, Judith Carolina De Arcos-Jiménez, Jaime Briseno-Ramírez Medical Sciences, 2025 Background: Peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis and cirrhosis remains common and leads to morbidity. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) has been evaluated as a rapid adjunctive biomarker. Methods: Following PRISMA-DTA and PROSPERO registration (CRD420251105563), we searched MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, LILACS, Scopus, and Web of Science from inception to 31 December 2024, and ran an update on 30 June 2025 (no additional eligible studies). Diagnostic accuracy studies measuring NGAL in peritoneal/ascitic fluid against guideline reference standards were included. When 2 × 2 data were not reported, we reconstructed cell counts from published metrics using a prespecified, tolerance-bounded algorithm (two studies). Accuracy was synthesized with a bivariate random effects (Reitsma) model; 95% prediction intervals (PIs) were used to express heterogeneity; small-study effects were assessed by Deeks’ test. Results: Thirteen studies were included qualitatively and ten were entered into a meta-analysis (573 cases; 833 controls). The pooled sensitivity was 0.95 (95% CI, 0.90–0.97) and specificity was 0.86 (0.70–0.94); likelihood ratios were LR+ ≈7.0 and LR− 0.06. Between-study variability was concentrated on specificity: the PI for a new setting was 0.75–0.98 for sensitivity and 0.23–0.99 for specificity. Deeks’ test showed evidence of small-study effects in the primary analysis; assay/platform and thresholding contributed materially to heterogeneity. Conclusions: NGAL in peritoneal/ascitic fluid demonstrates high pooled sensitivity but variable specificity across settings. Given the wide prediction intervals and the signal for small-study effects, NGAL should be interpreted as an adjunct to guideline-based criteria—not as a stand-alone rule-out test. Standardization of pre-analytics and assay-specific, locally verified thresholds, together with prospective multicenter validations and impact/economic evaluations, are needed to define its clinical role.
The Role of Interleukin-23 and Interleukin-17 in Peri-Implant Crevicular Fluid of Subjects With Peri-Implant Disease: A Systematic Review Mario Alberto Alarcón‐Sánchez, Julieta Sarai Becerra‐Ruiz, Ruth Rodríguez‐Montaño, Sarah Monserrat Lomelí‐Martínez, Lilibeth‐Stephania Escoto‐Vasquez, Artak Heboyan Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, 2025 BackgroundActivation of the IL‐23/IL‐17 cytokine axis could trigger peri‐implant bone loss. The aim of this review was to analyze whether in people with peri‐implantitis (PI) and peri‐implant mucositis (PM) the concentrations of the interleukin‐23 and interleukin‐17 in peri‐implant crevicular fluid (PICF) are elevated compared to people with healthy dental implants (HDI).MethodologyThe protocol of this study was registered in OSF (ID: 10.17605/OSF.IO/U8NBQ) and followed PRISMA guidelines. PECO criteria were used to formulate the research question. A search strategy was performed using PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and Google Scholar until November 15, 2024. A rigorous evaluation was performed, and the JBI tool was used to assess the quality of the cross‐sectional and case–control studies.ResultsFourteen observational studies were included in this study, with a total of 587 participants carrying 601 dental implants. The control group was represented by 252 healthy implants, while the exposure group was represented by 113 implants with PM and 236 implants with peri‐implantitis. The age range of the subjects varied from 40.8 to 68.6 years, with a mean age ± standard deviation of 53.9 ± 9.9 years. The concentration of the IL‐23/IL‐17 cytokine axis and isoforms (IL‐17E and IL‐17F) was higher in subjects with peri‐implant disease compared to the healthy population. Most of the studies (92.8%) showed moderate quality.ConclusionsThe concentrations of cytokines IL‐23, IL‐17, and IL‐17E in PICF were higher in PI‐affected dental implants, followed by PM‐affected dental implants compared to HDI.
Hepatitis and periodontal health: an emerging oral-liver axis Ruth Rodríguez-Montaño, Melissa Martínez-Nieto, Gustavo Eder González-Alvarez, Mario Alberto Alarcón-Sánchez, Julieta Sarai Becerra-Ruiz, Artak Heboyan, Alba Ruiz-Gaitán, Sarah Monserrat Lomelí-Martínez Therapeutic Advances in Chronic Disease, 2025 Periodontitis and viral liver infections, particularly hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), are chronic inflammatory conditions with a high prevalence worldwide. Recent evidence establishes a possible bidirectional relationship between the two, based on shared immunological, microbial, and inflammatory mechanisms. The objective of this study was to analyze and synthesize the scientific literature on the interactions between viral hepatitis and periodontal health. Through a structured search of the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, studies published in the last 20 years that explored the link between viral hepatitis and periodontitis were integrated. The findings from the reviewed studies show consistent, positive associations between HBV and HCV viruses and a higher prevalence and severity of periodontitis. Some studies show increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines (such as IL-6 and TNF-α) and immune dysfunction in participants with both diseases. Additionally, viral markers (such as HBsAg and HCV RNA) have been identified in gingival crevicular fluid, suggesting the presence of oral viral reservoirs. Ultimately, scientific evidence suggests a bidirectional relationship between viral hepatitis and periodontitis, influenced by systemic inflammation, immunological alterations, and microbial dysbiosis. The collected data support the relevance of interdisciplinary management between medical and dental professionals in patients with viral liver conditions.
The role of azurocidin and its implications in periodontal and peri-implant disease: A systematic review Mario Alberto Alarcón-Sánchez, Sarah Monserrat Lomelí-Martínez, Ruth Rodríguez-Montaño, Julieta Sarai Becerra-Ruiz, Cristina Hermila Martínez-Bugarin, Seyed Ali Mosaddad, Artak Heboyan Archives of Oral Biology, 2025 OBJECTIVES: This systematic review aimed to explore the role of Azurocidin (Azu) in the pathogenesis of periodontal and peri-implant disease and its potential use as an inflammatory biomarker. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four electronic databases were used for study identification: PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Scopus from Oct 10, 1991 to Jul 15, 2024. Study selection and data extraction were performed in a blinded and independent manner. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) tool was used to assess the quality of cross-sectional articles, and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to assess cohort studies. RESULTS: Out of 222 identified articles, nine studies met the inclusion criteria. These studies included 462 participants: 156 with healthy teeth and implants and 306 with periodontal conditions such as gingivitis, periodontitis, apical periodontitis, peri-implant mucositis, and peri-implantitis. A total of 1313 samples were analyzed (163 saliva, 118 PICF, 1003 GCF, 11 gingival tissue, and 18 infected root canals). ELISA was the most common method for azurocidin analysis (66.6 %), followed by LC-MS/MS (33.3 %), nLC-MS/MS (11.1 %), and Western Blot (11.1 %). Azu levels were consistently elevated in individuals with periodontitis compared to periodontally healthy subjects. CONCLUSIONS: Azu may contribute to the inflammatory processes in periodontal and peri-implant diseases. Although elevated levels are observed in periodontitis, its diagnostic value remains unclear due to limited and heterogeneous data.
Periodontal Disease Elevates IL-6 Levels During Initial Symptoms of COVID-19 Ruth Rodríguez-Montaño, Tonatiuh Abimael Baltazar-Díaz, Oscar Hernández-Mora, Mario Alberto Isiordia-Espinoza, Fatima Del Muro-Casas, et al. Diagnostics, 2025 Background: Research suggests that periodontal disease may exacerbate symptoms of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The etiology of this condition has been associated with cytokines such as IL-6. The inflammatory response in COVID-19 can be partially attributed to periodontopathic bacteria and their metabolites. Furthermore, the aspiration of periodontal pathogens and the stimulation of ACE2 expression may lead to an increased production of inflammatory cytokines, potentially worsening COVID-19 symptoms in patients with periodontitis. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving patients with both periodontal disease and COVID-19, patients with either condition alone, and healthy subjects. All participants underwent RT-PCR testing for SARS-CoV-2, and a self-reported periodontal disease (Self-RPD) questionnaire was administered. Saliva samples were collected to assess IL-6 levels using the ELISA technique. Results: A total of 28 patients were classified as COVID-19/Self-RPD+, 32 patients had only COVID-19, 25 were Self-RPD+ only, and 17 were healthy controls. The COVID-19/Self-RPD+ group frequently exhibited symptoms such as fever, body aches, nasal congestion, and olfactory disturbances and showed significantly higher IL-6 levels compared to the other groups. Cough with phlegm was significantly more frequent in the COVID-19-only group. Additionally, IL-6 levels in saliva were elevated in patients with nasal congestion and in those with 11 or more symptoms in the Self-RPD+ group.
Relationship Between MCP-1 Levels in GCF and Periodontitis: A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis and Analysis of Molecular Interactions Mario Alberto Alarcón‐Sánchez, Ruth Rodríguez‐Montaño, Sarah Monserrat Lomelí‐Martínez, Artak Heboyan Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, 2025 Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP‐1) is involved in monocyte chemotaxis, endothelial activation and regulation of leukocyte function in biological activities that promote inflammation, such as in periodontitis. A systematic review and meta‐analysis was conducted with the primary objective of investigating the roles of MCP‐1 in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of subjects with chronic periodontitis compared to periodontally healthy subjects. The study protocol adhered to PRISMA guidelines. Digital searches were carried out across several databases, including PubMed, Dentistry & Oral Science Source, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. The quality of the studies was evaluated using the JBI tool for cross‐sectional studies and clinical trials. To assess the concentration of MCP‐1 in the GCF of the exposure group versus the control group, a meta‐analysis was conducted employing a random‐effects model. The search strategy yielded 1694 articles, with 14 studies meeting the inclusion criteria and 10 articles subjected to quantitative analysis. A total of 497 subjects were examined, comprising 298 cases and 199 controls. The meta‐analysis indicated a significant increase in MCP‐1 levels in the GCF of individuals with chronic periodontitis compared to healthy subjects (GCF: SMD = 20.29, 95% CI: 10.33–30.25, Z = 3.992, p = 0.001*). GCF MCP‐1 levels are elevated in periodontitis compared to healthy controls, suggesting its potential future use as a diagnostic tool in clinical settings.
Levels of IL-1β, MMP-8, and MMP-9 in the Saliva of Subjects With Periodontitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Mario Alberto Alarcón‐Sánchez, Ruth Rodríguez‐Montaño, Seyed Ali Mosaddad, Artak Heboyan Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, 2025 Background and ObjectiveProinflammatory cytokines and enzymes responsible for tissue destruction are important in the development of periodontitis. This study compared salivary concentrations of interleukin‐1 beta (IL‐1β), matrix metalloproteinases (MMP‐8), and (MMP‐9) in individuals with and without periodontitis to evaluate their diagnostic utility as potential biomarkers.Materials and MethodsA comprehensive search was performed across PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, supplemented by manual searches in relevant journals up to January 2024. Eligibility criteria focused on human studies with defined diagnostic criteria for periodontitis and saliva samples analyzed for IL‐1β, MMP‐8, and MMP‐9. Data were extracted to compare salivary levels of these markers between periodontitis patients and healthy controls. The Joanna Briggs Institute tool was used to evaluate the risk of bias and quality of the included studies. Statistical analysis employed a random effects model to calculate standardized mean differences and assess heterogeneity and publication bias.ResultsThe search yielded 122 articles, with 27 meeting the inclusion criteria. Fifteen percent of these studies presented a moderate risk of bias, while the remaining 85% exhibited a low risk of bias. The meta‐analyses indicated significantly higher levels of IL‐1β, MMP‐8, and MMP‐9 in the saliva of subjects with periodontitis compared to healthy individuals: IL‐1β: Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) = 163.29 (95% CI = 104.64–221.95), p < 0.001; MMP‐8: SMD = 282.22 (95% CI = 209.68–354.77), p < 0.001; MMP‐9: SMD = 311.85 (95% CI = 179.64–444.05), p < 0.001.ConclusionElevated salivary levels of IL‐1β, MMP‐8, and MMP‐9 are linked to periodontitis.
