The slow proliferation rate and poor osteodifferentiation ability of inflammatory periodontal membrane stem cells extracted from periodontitis tissues (i-PDLSCs) account for poor efficiency in treating inflammatory bone loss. Exosomes reportedly have inducible and relatively stable components, allowing them to promote inflammatory bone repair, but obtaining i-PDLSCs exosomes with the ability to promote osteodifferentiation is challenging. In the present study, i-PDLSCs were extracted from periodontal membrane tissues of patients with severe periodontitis, and in vitro induction with gallic acid (GA) significantly promoted the proliferative activity of i-PDLSCs at a concentration of 10 mM, with TC0 of 11.057 mM and TC50 of 67.56 mM for i-PDLSCs. After mRNA sequencing, we found that GA could alleviate oxidative stress in i-PDLSCs and increase its mitochondrial membrane potential and glucose aerobic metabolism level, thus promoting the osteodifferentiation of i-PDLSCs. After exosomes of i-PDLSCs after GA induction (i-EXO-GA) were isolated by differential centrifugation, we found that 200 ug/mL of i-EXO-GA could remarkably promote the osteodifferentiation of i-PDLSCs. Overall, our results suggest that GA induction can enhance the proliferation and osteodifferentiation in primary cultures of i-PDLSCs in vitro, mediated by alleviating oxidative stress and glycometabolism levels in cells, which further influences the osteodifferentiation-promoting ability of i-EXO-GA. Overall, we provide a viable cell and exosome induction culture method for treating inflammatory alveolar defects associated with periodontitis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
