The signaling pathways involved in non‐coding RNA regulation during osteogenic differentiation of periodontal tissue‐derived cells in the field of periodontitis

Abstract Periodontitis is a prevalent oral disease caused by chronic inflammation of the periodontal tissues surrounding the teeth, which can lead to bone loss, tooth loosening, and even tooth loss. This inflammation has a negative impact on the osteogenic differentiation capacity of periodontal tissue‐derived cells. Non‐coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are a class of RNA molecules that do not encode proteins but can regulate various physiological processes. In this review, we summarized the critical signaling pathways that ncRNAs modulate in osteogenic differentiation of periodontal tissue‐derived cells, such as the Wnt, BMP/Smad, NF‐κB, and PI3‐K/Akt/mTOR pathways. This comprehensive exploration of ncRNA‐mediated modulation offers fresh and promising insights for prospective approaches in the management of periodontitis and the advancement of periodontal regeneration therapies.
