Although obesity has been proposed as a risk factor for periodontitis, the influence of excessive fat accumulation on development periodontitis and periodontal recovery from disease remains largely unknown. This study investigated cellular response ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) to elevated levels specific fatty acid, namely, palmitic acid (PA). The mechanism by which PA exposure compromises osteogenic potential was also explored. It found that PDLSCs abundant led decreased cell differentiation. Given long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play key role in adverse environmental stimuli, we screened lncRNAs were differentially expressed following using lncRNA microarray analysis, AC018926.2 identified most sensitive PA. Next, gain/loss-of-function studies illustrated an important regulator PA-mediated differentiation PDLSCs. Mechanistically, upregulated integrin α2 (ITGA2) expression therefore activated ITGA2/FAK/AKT signalling. Further functional revealed inactivation signalling silencing ITGA2 counteracted pro-osteogenic effect induced overexpression. Moreover, results bioinformatics analysis RNA immunoprecipitation assay suggested might transcriptionally regulate binding PARP1 protein.
