Abstract

Introduction: Oral cancer is cancer that occurs in the oral cavity and oropharynx, ranking 16th as the most common cancer found with a number of new cases of 377,713 and a number of deaths of 177,757 cases in 2020. Several types of flavonoids contained in the genus Uncaria were found to have anticancer bioactivity, one of which is inducing apoptosis in oral cancer cells. Aim: This study aims to review the potential and mechanisms involved of flavonoids in inducing apoptosis in oral cancer cells. The literature review method was used in this study by conducting a systematic literature search on PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar until October 2023. Results: A total of 13 studies were included in this study and our findings conclude that flavonoids, especially quercetin, kaempferol, rutin, umbelliferon, and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), have the potential to be used as anticancer agents, one of which has the ability to induce apoptosis, both through extrinsic and intrinsic pathway, in several oral cancer cell lines, including SCC-4, SCC-9, SCC-25, SAS, KB/VCR, Tca-8113, YD10B, YD38, MC-3, KB, and HSC-3, through the mechanism of inhibiting anti-apoptotic expression, activating pro-apoptotic protein expression, generating ROS, and regulating PI3K/AKT, MAPK, and JAK/STAT signaling pathways. Conclusion: We conclude that Uncaria-derived flavonoids hav the potential to induce apoptosis, both extrinsic and intrinsic, in oral cancer cells.

Abstract

Background: Periodontitis (PD) remains a global public health problem. Evidence revealed that PD contributes to the development of systemic diseases, including effects on men's sexual health such as erectile dysfunction (ED). Objective: To review and explore the association between PD and ED. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic review of studies published in Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar was conducted. A comprehensive literature search until February 2024 by combining several keywords and applying eligibility criteria was performed. JBI critical appraisal checklist was employed for quality assessment. Results: A total of 15 studies involving 216,753 subjects were included. Of the 15 studies, 13 of them demonstrated a significant association between PD and ED, the other two did not. Only one study included examination of hormonal and biochemical levels. Also, one study revealed that periodontal treatment was significantly associated with improving ED. Summary: According to the findings, a significant association between PD and ED is evident. It is believed that the inflammatory processes associated with PD contributes to the emergence of ED, yet the exact underlying mechanism remains unclear. The scarcity of research and the complexity of the association between PD and ED suggest that future rigorous studies should be conducted. Additionally, dentists and general practitioners must be aware of the interconnection between these diseases, enabling them to provide comprehensive education to patients, particularly concerning the prevention and management of periodontal disease.
