Background
Porphyromonas gingivalis is a periodontal pathogen that resides in a complex multispecies microbial biofilm community known as dental plaque. Confocal laser scanning microscopy showed that P. gingivalis can assemble into communities in vitro with Streptococcus gordonii and Fusobacterium nucleatum, common constituents of dental plaque. Whole cell quantitative proteomics, along with mutant construction and analysis, were conducted to investigate how P. gingivalis adapts to this three species community. 相似文献2.

Background
Porphyromonas gingivalis in subgingival dental plaque, as part of a mature biofilm, has been strongly implicated in the onset and progression of chronic periodontitis. In this study using DNA microarray we compared the global gene expression of a P. gingivalis biofilm with that of its planktonic counterpart grown in the same continuous culture. 相似文献3.

Background
Periodontitis is a bacterial infection of the periodontal tissues. The Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis is considered a major causative agent. One of the virulence factors of P. gingivalis is capsular polysaccharide (CPS). Non-encapsulated strains have been shown to be less virulent in mouse models than encapsulated strains. 相似文献5.

Background
The Gram negative anaerobic bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis has long been recognized as a causative agent of periodontitis. Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disease of the tooth supporting tissues eventually leading to tooth-loss. Capsular polysaccharide (CPS) of P. gingivalis has been shown to be an important virulence determinant. Seven capsular serotypes have been described. Here, we used micro-array based comparative genomic hybridization analysis (CGH) to analyze a representative of each of the capsular serotypes and a non-encapsulated strain against the highly virulent and sequenced W83 strain. We defined absent calls using Arabidopsis thaliana negative control probes, with the aim to distinguish between aberrations due to mutations and gene gain/loss. 相似文献6.

Background
Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative intracellular pathogen associated with periodontal disease. We have previously reported on whole-cell quantitative proteomic analyses to investigate the differential expression of virulence factors as the organism transitions from an extracellular to intracellular lifestyle. The original results with the invasive strain P. gingivalis ATCC 33277 were obtained using the genome sequence available at the time, strain W83 [GenBank: AE015924]. We present here a re-processed dataset using the recently published genome annotation specific for strain ATCC 33277 [GenBank: AP009380] and an analysis of differential abundance based on metabolic pathways rather than individual proteins. 相似文献9.

Introduction
The association between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontitis is suggested to be linked to the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis. Colonization of P. gingivalis in the oral cavity of RA patients has been scarcely considered. To further explore whether the association between periodontitis and RA is dependent on P. gingivalis, we compared host immune responses in RA patients with and without periodontitis in relation to presence of cultivable P. gingivalis in subgingival plaque.Methods
In 95 RA patients, the periodontal condition was examined using the Dutch Periodontal Screening Index for treatment needs. Subgingival plaque samples were tested for presence of P. gingivalis by anaerobic culture technique. IgA, IgG and IgM antibody titers to P. gingivalis were measured by ELISA. Serum and subgingival plaque measures were compared to a matched control group of non-RA subjects.Results
A higher prevalence of severe periodontitis was observed in RA patients in comparison to matched non-RA controls (27% versus 12%, p < 0.001). RA patients with severe periodontitis had higher DAS28 scores than RA patients with no or moderate periodontitis (p < 0.001), while no differences were seen in IgM-RF or ACPA reactivity. Furthermore, RA patients with severe periodontitis had higher IgG- and IgM-anti P. gingivalis titers than non-RA controls with severe periodontitis (p < 0.01 resp. p < 0.05), although subgingival occurrence of P. gingivalis was not different.Conclusions
Severity of periodontitis is related to severity of RA. RA patients with severe periodontitis have a more robust antibody response against P. gingivalis than non-RA controls, but not all RA patients have cultivable P. gingivalis. 相似文献10.

Objective
Increased risk for atherosclerosis is associated with infectious diseases including periodontitis. Natural IgM antibodies recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns on bacteria, and oxidized lipid and protein epitopes on low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and apoptotic cells. We aimed to identify epitopes on periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis recognized by natural IgM binding to malondialdehyde (MDA) modified LDL.Methods and Results
Mouse monoclonal IgM (MDmAb) specific for MDA-LDL recognized epitopes on P. gingivalis on flow cytometry and chemiluminescence immunoassays. Immunization of C57BL/6 mice with P. gingivalis induced IgM, but not IgG, immune response to MDA-LDL and apoptotic cells. Immunization of LDLR−/− mice with P. gingivalis induced IgM, but not IgG, immune response to MDA-LDL and diminished aortic lipid deposition. On Western blot MDmAb bound to P. gingivalis fragments identified as arginine-specific gingipain (Rgp) by mass spectrometry. Recombinant domains of Rgp produced in E. coli were devoid of phosphocholine epitopes but contained epitopes recognized by MDmAb and human serum IgM. Serum IgM levels to P. gingivalis were associated with anti-MDA-LDL levels in humans.Conclusion
Gingipain of P. gingivalis is recognized by natural IgM and shares molecular identity with epitopes on MDA-LDL. These findings suggest a role for natural antibodies in the pathogenesis of two related inflammatory diseases, atherosclerosis and periodontitis. 相似文献11.

A novel kinase function of a nucleoside‐diphosphate‐kinase homologue in Porphyromonas gingivalis is critical in subversion of host cell apoptosis by targeting heat‐shock protein 27 下载免费PDF全文

We have previously shown that a homologue of a conserved nucleoside‐diphosphate‐kinase (Ndk) family of multifunctional enzymes and secreted molecule in Porphyromonas gingivalis can modulate select host molecular pathways including downregulation of reactive‐oxygen‐species generation to promote bacterial survival in human gingival epithelial cells (GECs). In this study, we describe a novel kinase function for bacterial effector, P. gingivalis‐Ndk, in abrogating epithelial cell death by phosphorylating heat‐shock protein 27 (HSP27) in GECs. Infection by P. gingivalis was recently suggested to increase phosphorylation of HSP27 in cancer‐epithelial cells; however, the mechanism and biological significance of antiapoptotic phospho‐HSP27 during infection has never been characterised. Interestingly, using glutathione S‐transferase‐rNdk pull‐down analysed by mass spectrometry, we identified HSP27 in GECs as a strong binder of P. gingivalis‐Ndk and further verified using confocal microscopy and ELISA. Therefore, we hypothesised P. gingivalis‐Ndk can phosphorylate HSP27 for inhibition of apoptosis in GECs. We further employed P. gingivalis‐Ndk protein constructs and an isogenic P. gingivalis‐ndk‐deficient‐mutant strain for functional examination. P. gingivalis‐infected GECs displayed significantly increased phospho‐HSP27 compared with ndk‐deficient‐strain during 24 hr infection. Phospho‐HSP27 was significantly increased by transfection of GFP‐tagged‐Ndk into uninfected‐GECs, and in vitro phosphorylation assays revealed direct phosphorylation of HSP27 at serines 78 and 82 by P. gingivalis‐Ndk. Depletion of HSP27 via siRNA significantly reversed resistance against staurosporine‐mediated‐apoptosis during infection. Transfection of recombinant P. gingivalis‐Ndk protein into GECs substantially decreased staurosporine‐induced‐apoptosis. Finally, ndk‐deficient‐mutant strain was unable to inhibit staurosporine‐induced Cytochrome C release/Caspase‐9 activation. Thus, we show for the first time the phosphorylation of HSP27 by a bacterial effector—P. gingivalis‐Ndk—and a novel function of Ndks that is directly involved in inhibition of host cell apoptosis and the subsequent bacterial survival. 相似文献

The maintenance of diminished acid ceramidase (ASAH1) gene expression leading to the accumulation of antiproliferative intracellular ceramides in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has emerged as a prospective oral cancer therapeutic regimen. Our published study demonstrated that the key periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis downregulates the expression patterns of ASAH1 mRNA in normal epithelial cells in vitro. Therefore, P. gingivalis may also beneficially diminish the expression of ASAH1 in OSCC. Because a uniquely structured P. gingivalis-derived phosphoethanolamine dihydroceramide (PEDHC) inhibits the proliferation of normal human fibroblasts, this study aimed to test the effect of PEDHC on the survival of human oral squamous OECM-1 cells in vitro. We demonstrated that the P. gingivalis dihydroceramide-null (ΔPG1780) strain upregulates the expression of ASAH1 mRNA and promotes aggressive proliferation and migration of OECM-1 cells compared to the parent P. gingivalis-W83 strain. In addition, the intracellular concentration of ceramides was dramatically elevated in OECM-1 cells exposed to PEDHC in vitro. Furthermore, PEDHC inhibited expression patterns of ASAH1 mRNA as well as some genes associated with degradation of the basement membranes and extracellular matrix, for example, MMP-2, ADAM-17 and IL-6, in OECM-1 cells. Altogether, these data indicated that PEDHC produced by P. gingivalis inhibits acid ceramidase expression, promotes intracellular ceramide accumulation and suppresses the survival and migration of OSCC cells in vitro. Further studies are needed to determine molecular mechanisms of PEDHC-mediated inhibitory effect(s) on OSCC using in vivo models of oral cancer. 相似文献

Background
Burdock complex (BC) constitutes of burdock (Arctium lappa), angelica (Angelica sinensis), gromwell (Lithospermum erythrorhizon), and sesame (Sesamum indicum) oil, which are commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for treating various disorders. This study intended to examine the anti‐H. pylori activity of BC on AGS cell model as well as in asymptomatic H. pylori‐infected subjects.Materials and Methods
AGS cell incubated with H. pylori and treated with BC to evaluate the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC), cell viability (MTT) anti‐adhesion activity, and inflammatory markers. In case of clinical trial, H. pylori‐positive subjects (urea breath test [UBT] >10%, n = 36) were enrolled and requested to intake BC (n = 19) or placebo (n = 17) for 8 weeks. Antioxidant capacity, total phenol, UBT, inflammatory markers were analyzed at the initial, 4th, 8th, and 10th weeks. Moreover, the endoscopic examination was carried out on baseline and 10th week.Results
In vitro studies showed that BC treatment significantly inhibited (P < .05) the inflammatory markers and adhesion of H. pylori to AGS cell. However, H. pylori‐infected subject ingested with BC for 8 weeks significantly decreased (P < .05) the UBT value, inflammatory markers with improved antioxidant activity, and phenolic levels as compared to placebo. Also, consumption of BC considerably healed the ulcer wound.Conclusion
Overall, the BC could attenuate H. pylori infection by inhibiting H. pylori adhesion and subsequent inflammatory response on the gastric epithelial cell (AGS) as well as clinically ameliorated UBT, antioxidant capacity, and alleviated inflammation to display its anti‐H. pylori activity. 相似文献15.

Background
Normal mammalian development requires the action of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) for the establishment and maintenance of DNA methylation within repeat elements and imprinted genes. Here we report the expression dynamics of Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b, as well as a regulator of DNA methylation, Dnmt3L, in isolated female germ cells. 相似文献16.

Interleukin (IL)‐31 is important for innate immunity in mucosal tissues and skin, and increased IL‐31 expression participates in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases affecting the skin, airways, lungs, and intestines. We investigated the contribution of mast cells to the induction of IL‐31 production following infection with the periodontal pathogen, Porphyromonas gingivalis. We found that oral infection with P. gingivalis increased IL‐31 expression in the gingival tissues of wild‐type mice but not in those of mast cell‐deficient mice. The P. gingivalis‐induced IL‐31 production by human mast cells occurred through the activation of the JNK and NF‐κB signalling pathways and was dependent on the P. gingivalis lysine‐specific protease gingipain‐K. P. gingivalis infection induced IL‐31 receptor α and oncostatin M receptor β expression in human gingival epithelial cells. Notably, the P. gingivalis‐induced IL‐31 production by mast cells led to the downregulation of claudin‐1, a tight junction molecule, in gingival epithelial cells, resulting in an IL‐31‐dependent increase in the paracellular permeability of the gingival epithelial barrier. These findings suggest that IL‐31 produced by mast cells in response to P. gingivalis infection causes gingival epithelial barrier dysfunction, which may contribute to the chronic inflammation observed in periodontitis. 相似文献
