Article Abstract
Background: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that leads to the destruction of periodontal tissues and diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia. Both of these diseases affect many people worldwide. Epidemiological data have revealed a close relationship between periodontitis and diabetes. In particular, the high-glucose microenvironment plays an important role in the relationship between these two chronic inflammatory diseases, which makes it difficult to mitigate the progression of periodontitis and restore periodontal tissue in diabetic patients. Anti-inflammatory and regenerative processes are of fundamental importance for periodontal treatment and are mediated by diverse cell populations, including macrophages, T cells, neutrophils, stem cells, and fibroblasts that reside within periodontal tissues.
Main Body: This review summarizes the interaction between diabetes mellitus and periodontitis, and illustrates that the high-glucose microenvironment aggravates periodontal homeostasis. Furthermore, the mechanism by which the high-glucose microenvironment regulates the involvement of various cells in the destruction of periodontal tissue, leading to the significant inhibition of tissue regeneration and recovery, is discussed. On this basis, the current therapeutic strategies that can be used to target cells are summarized to improve the regeneration and repair processes in the high-glucose microenvironment.
Conclusion: In this review, we assess how metabolic dysregulation mediated by a high-glucose microenvironment exacerbates inflammatory damage and inhibits tissue repair. A deeper understanding of the effects of a high-glucose microenvironment on periodontal tissue cells is essential for developing new therapeutic strategies to restore the structure and function of periodontal tissue.

Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is still as a common chronic micro-vascular complication of type 1 diabetic (T1DM). Although many studies had verified the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the clinical treatment of the related complications associated with T1DM, especially the DKD, by preserving the balances of immune micro-environment and so on. However, the immunomodulatory capabilities of MSCs are still controversial on the the efficacy of DKD treatment primarily due to the variations on the immune micro-environment, which could be modulated by a variety of elements, such as the vitamin D (VD).

Patients with diabetes often exhibit delayed wound healing, which is characterized by the endothelial cells dysfunction and excessive accumulation of free tissue iron. Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications, though its role in angiogenesis under hyperglycemia remains unknown. In this study, we revealed a distinct ferroptosis-associated metabolic phenotype in endothelial cells derived from unhealed diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and under high glucose exposure in vitro, marked by elevated intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and impaired mitochondrial function.

As one of the most serious chronic complications of diabetes mellitus, diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) have a complex pathogenesis involving multiple factors such as persistent hyperglycemia-induced microangiopathy, chronic inflammatory state and oxidative stress injury. Regenerative medicine strategies of stem cells have brought new hope for DFUs treatment, among which adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) have attracted much attention due to their easy accessibility, multidirectional differentiation potential and paracrine function. However, excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to the high-glucose microenvironment can trigger mitochondrial dysfunction and premature senescence of ADSCs, which greatly reduce their therapeutic efficacy.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) impairs wound healing due to hyperglycemia-induced immune dysfunction. Dendritic cells (DCs) in the skin are crucial for wound healing but are adversely affected by hyperglycemic microenvironment. Exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-exos), especially adipose-derived MSCs (ADSCs) with higher accessibility, have shown potential for immune regulation.

Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture technology can mimic the physiological characteristics of tissues and organs, making it highly suitable for cell therapy, organ chips, and tissue engineering applications. However, achieving a uniform cell distribution within the 3D matrix while mitigating the effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation generated during the 3D cell culture remains a critical challenge. Hydrogel actuators, with their excellent bioactivity and controllable self-rolling behavior, provide an optimal microenvironment for the 3D cell culture.
