Histone deacetylases (HDAC) plays important roles in the post-translational modifications of histone cores as well as non-histone targets. Many of them are involved in key inflammatory processes. Despite their importance, whether and how HDAC9 is regulated under inflammatory conditions remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of HDAC9 under chronic inflammation condition in human periodontal ligament stromal cell (PDLSCs) and to explore the underlying regulatory mechanism. PDLSCs from healthy or periodontitis human tissue was compared. The therapeutic effects of HDAC inhibitors was determined in PDLSC pellet transplanted nude mice and LPS-induced rat periodontitis. We report that HDAC9 was the most affected HDAC family member under inflammatory conditions in PDLSCs. HDAC9 impaired osteogenic differentiation capacity of PDLSCs under inflammatory conditions. Downregulation of HDAC9 by HDAC inhibitors or si-HDAC9 rescued the osteogenic differentiation capacity of inflammatory PDLSC to a similar level with the healthy PDLSC. In this context, HDAC9 and miR-17 formed an inhibitory loop. The inhibition of miR-17 aggravated loss of calcified nodules in inflamed PDLSCs and interrupted the effect of HDAC inhibitor in rescuing osteogenesis. In vivo experiments using nude mice and LPS-induced periodontitis model confirmed that HDAC inhibitors could improve new bone formation. We conclude that HDAC inhibitors improved osteogenesis of PDLSCs in vitro and periodontitis in vivo.
