Long non-coding RNA LINC00616 promotes ferroptosis of periodontal ligament stem cells via the microRNA-370 / transferrin receptor axis.

ABSTRACT: This study was designed to explore the role of lncRNA LINC00616 in the regulation of periodontitis. Cellular functions were measured using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assays. The content of reactive oxygen species, Fe²⁺, glutathione, and malondialdehyde were measured to determine ferroptosis in Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (LPS-PG) treated periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), as well as expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), solute carrier family 7 member 11, and acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 proteins mRNA and miRNA levels were measured by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR)
