Understanding the progression of periodontal tissue destruction is at the forefront of periodontal research. The authors aimed to capture the dynamics of gingival tissue proteome during the initiation and progression of experimental (ligature‐induced) periodontitis in mice. Pressure cycling technology (PCT), a recently developed platform that uses ultra‐high pressure to disrupt tissues, is utilized to achieve efficient and reproducible protein extraction from ultra‐small amounts of gingival tissues in combination with liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry (MS). The MS data are processed using Progenesis QI and the regulated proteins are subjected to METACORE, STRING, and WebGestalt for functional enrichment analysis. A total of 1614 proteins with ≥2 peptides are quantified with an estimated protein false discovery rate of 0.06%. Unsupervised clustering analysis shows that the gingival tissue protein abundance is mainly dependent on the periodontitis progression stage. Gene ontology enrichment analysis reveals an overrepresentation in innate immune regulation (e.g., neutrophil‐mediated immunity and antimicrobial peptides), signal transduction (e.g., integrin signaling), and homeostasis processes (e.g., platelet activation and aggregation). In conclusion, a PCT‐assisted label‐free quantitative proteomics workflow that allowed cataloging the deepest gingival tissue proteome on a rapid timescale and provided novel mechanistic insights into host perturbation during periodontitis progression is applied. 相似文献

This study was performed to determine how the calcium supplementation for a 4-week period affects the glucose and insulin
levels at rest and at exhaustion in athletes. This is a 4-week study performed on 30 healthy subjects varying between 18 and
22 ages. Subjects were separated into three groups: first group (group supplemented with calcium, sedentary group), second
group (calcium supplementations + exercise group), and third group (training group). Glucose and insulin parameters of the
groups were measured four times, at rest and exhaustion in the beginning of the research and at rest and exhaustion after
the end of 4 weeks application period. Exhaustion measurements both before and after the supplementations significantly decreased
in compared to rest measurements in terms of insulin (p < 0.05). Significant difference was not determined in the glucose values of groups. In terms of glucose, values increased
in all of the three groups occurred with exercise both before and after the supplementation by exercise and exhaustion (p < 0.05). The results of our study indicate that calcium gluconate supplementations for 4 weeks in sedentary subjects and
athletes did not significantly affect plasma insulin levels at rest and exhaustion. However, glucose levels were affected
by calcium supplementation and exhausting exercise in athletes. 相似文献

Gene patenting is now a familiar commercial practice, but there is little awareness that several patents claim ownership of the complete genome sequence of a prokaryote or virus. When these patents are analysed and compared to those for other biological entities, it becomes clear that genome patents seek to exploit the genome as an information base and are part of a broader shift towards intangible intellectual property in genomics. 相似文献

Teeth constitute a promising source of stem cells that can be used for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine purposes. Bone loss in the craniofacial complex due to pathological conditions and severe injuries could be treated with new materials combined with human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) that have the same embryonic origin as craniofacial bones. Optimising combinations of scaffolds, cells, growth factors and culture conditions still remains a great challenge. In the present study, we evaluate the mineralisation potential of hDPSCs seeded on porous silk fibroin scaffolds in a mechanically dynamic environment provided by spinner flask bioreactors. Cell-seeded scaffolds were cultured in either standard or osteogenic media in both static and dynamic conditions for 47 days. Histological analysis and micro-computed tomography of the samples showed low levels of mineralisation when samples were cultured in static conditions (0.16±0.1 BV/TV%), while their culture in a dynamic environment with osteogenic medium and weekly µCT scans (4.9±1.6 BV/TV%) significantly increased the formation of homogeneously mineralised structures, which was also confirmed by the elevated calcium levels (4.5±1.0 vs. 8.8±1.7 mg/mL). Molecular analysis of the samples showed that the expression of tooth correlated genes such as Dentin Sialophosphoprotein and Nestin were downregulated by a factor of 6.7 and 7.4, respectively, in hDPSCs when cultured in presence of osteogenic medium. This finding indicates that hDPSCs are able to adopt a non-dental identity by changing the culture conditions only. Also an increased expression of Osteocalcin (1.4x) and Collagen type I (1.7x) was found after culture under mechanically dynamic conditions in control medium. In conclusion, the combination of hDPSCs and silk scaffolds cultured under mechanical loading in spinner flask bioreactors could offer a novel and promising approach for bone tissue engineering where appropriate and rapid bone regeneration in mechanically loaded tissues is required. 相似文献

A novel hot spring thermophile, Anoxybacillus gonensis A4 (A. gonensis A4) was investigated in terms of capability of tributyrin degradation and characterization of its thermostable esterase activity by the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl butyrate (PNPB). It was observed that A. gonensis A4 has an esterase with a molecular weight of 62 kDa. The extracellular crude preparation was characterized in terms of substrate specificity, pH and temperature optima and stability, kinetic parameters and inhibition/activation behaviour towards some chemicals and metal ions. Tributyrin agar assay showed that A. gonensis A4 secreted an esterase and V(max) and K(m) values of its activity were found to be 800 U/L and 176.5 microM, respectively in the presence of PNPB substrate. The optimum temperature and pH, for A. gonensis A4 esterase was 60-80 degrees C and 5.5, respectively. Although the enzyme activity was not significantly changed by incubating crude extract solution at 30-70 degrees C for 1 h, the enzyme activity was fully lost at 80 degrees C for same incubation period. The pH-stability profile showed that original crude esterase activity increased nearly 2-fold at pH 6.0. The effect of some chemicals on crude esterase activity indicated that A. gonensis A4 produce an esterase having serine residue in active site and -SH groups were essential for its activity. 相似文献

There are many studies about iron-induced neuronal hyperactivity and oxidative stress. Some reports also showed that iron
levels rise in the brain in some neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It has
been suggested that excessive iron level increases oxidative stress and causes neuronal death. Tocopherols act as a free radical
scavenger when phenoxylic head group encounters a free radical. We have aimed to identify the effect of α-tocopherol (Vitamin
E) on iron-induced neurotoxicity. For this reason, rats were divided into three groups as control, iron, and iron + α-tocopherol
groups. Iron chloride (200 mM in 2.5 μl volume) was injected into brain ventricle of iron and iron + α-tocopherol group rats.
Same volume of saline (2.5 μl) was given to the rats belonging to control group. Rats of iron + α-tocopherol group received
intraperitoneally (i.p.) α-tocopherol (100 mg/kg/day) for 10 days. After 10 days, rats were perfused intracardially under
deep urethane anesthesia. Removed brains were processed using standard histological techniques. The numbers of neurons in
hippocampus and substantia nigra of all rats were estimated by stereological techniques. Results of present study show that
α-tocopherol decreased hippocampal and nigral neuron loss from 51.7 to 12.1% and 41.6 to 17.8%, respectively. Findings of
the present study suggest that α-tocopherol may have neuroprotective effects against iron-induced hippocampal and nigral neurotoxicity
and it may have a therapeutic significance for neurodegenerative diseases involved iron. 相似文献

Experimental diabetes is one of the most popular conditions in which to study the relation between neutrophil leukocyte activity and periodontal destruction. The aetiology of neutrophil dysfunction in the gingival tissue associated with diabetes has yet to be clarified. Diabetes in rats decreases neutrophil chemotactic activity in proportion to the severity of this systemic disorder. The present study was carried out to evaluate the relationship between the severity of diabetes and the neutrophil response to two chemotactic agents, and to correlate the observed neutrophil defects with the degree of diabetes. In this study two chemotactic agents, casein (0.2 μl, 2 mg ml?1) or N‐formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine (FMLP; 0.2 μl, 10?4 M ), were placed into the gingival crevices of alloxan‐induced diabetic rats. Gingival biopsies were taken 15 min later and then at 5‐min intervals up to 45 min and investigated by electron microscopy. Adherence and migration were observed in the rats with moderate diabetes 30 min after the application of casein. There was chemotaxis after 35 min of administration of the peptide FMLP. By 40 min neutrophils with pyknotic nuclei were observed. At 45 min neutrophils with a decreased number of granules were present. As the severity of the diabetes increased, the neutrophils degenerated and were structurally distorted. In the rats which had alloxan‐induced diabetes there was abnormal periodontal damage. This damage is thought to be related to dysfunctional neutrophils. These findings many contribute to an answer to the following question: why is there an apparent variability in the susceptibilty of periodontal breakdown in diabetics?

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder of women that not only is the leading cause of infertility but also shows a reciprocal link with oral health. This study aimed to investigate the hypothesis that the levels of putative periodontal pathogens in saliva and their antibody response in serum are elevated in PCOS, compared to systemic health. A total of 125 women were included in four groups; 45 women with PCOS and healthy periodontium, 35 women with PCOS and gingivitis, 25 systemically and periodontally healthy women, 20 systemically healthy women with gingivitis. Salivary levels of seven putative periodontal pathogens were analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and serum antibody levels were analyzed by ELISA. In women with PCOS, salivary Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Streptococcus oralis and Tannerella forsythia levels were higher than matched systemically healthy women, particularly in the case of gingivitis. Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Treponema denticola levels were similar among study groups. The presence of PCOS also enhanced P. gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia and S. oralis serum antibody levels, when gingivitis was also present. Gingival inflammation correlated positively with levels of the studied taxa in saliva, particularly in PCOS. The presence of P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum in saliva also exhibited a strong positive correlation with the corresponding serum antibody levels. In conclusion, as an underlying systemic endocrine condition, PCOS may quantitatively affect the composition of oral microbiota and the raised systemic response to selective members of this microbial community, exerting a confounding role in resultant gingival inflammation and periodontal health. The most consistent effect appeared to be exerted on P. gingivalis. 相似文献
