The Akt-FOXO1 signaling pathway maintains DC’s protective or destructive function to control periodontal inflammation. FOXO1 is essential for DCs to maintain their protective function and control periodontitis. Phosphorylation of FOXO1 by Akt inhibits FOXO1 activity and reduces the protective function of DCs enhancing susceptibilities to periodontitis.
