牙龈卟啉菌内毒素的化学组成和SDS—PAGE的特性分析

应用气液色谱法对牙龈卟啉菌脂多糖（Ｐｇ－ＬＰＳ）和大肠杆菌脂多糖（Ｅ－ＬＰＳ）的单糖和脂肪酸进行了分析和比较。Ｐｇ－ＬＰＳ主要含有甘露糖、葡萄糖、氨基葡萄糖、半乳糖和鼠李糖。Ｅ－ＬＰＳ单糖组成与Ｐｇ－ＬＰＳ基本相似,但缺乏鼠李糖。Ｐｇ－ＬＰＳ主要含有羟基十五烷酸和羟基十七烷酸等奇数碳原子脂肪酸,Ｅ－ＬＰＳ则以羟基豆蔻酸、豆蔻酸和月桂酸等偶数碳原子脂肪酸为主。Ｐｇ－ＬＰＳ含有甲基化脂肪酸,Ｅ－ＬＰＳ则缺如。实验结果提示,Ｐｇ－ＬＰＳ和Ｅ－ＬＰＳ化学组成上的差异可能导致二者的ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ图谱明显不同。     

牙龈卟啉菌脂多糖诱生的IL—1,TNF和PGE的骨吸收活性

牙龈卟啉菌脂多糖（Ｐｇ－ＬＰＳ）作用于人外周血单个核细胞或人牙龈组织细胞后,能诱导此等细胞分别产生ＩＬ－１、ＴＮＦ和ＰＧＥ。经原子吸收光谱分析后证实,所诱生的ＩＬ－１、ＴＮＦ和ＰＧＥ均具有使大鼠头盖骨脱钙的作用,消炎痛未能阻断该骨吸收活性。ＰＧＥ的骨吸收活性最强,ＩＬ－１和ＴＮＦ的骨吸收活性相似。Ｐｇ－ＬＰＳ也能直接作用于大鼠头盖骨,使钙离子释放量明显增加,但该活性能被消炎痛所阻断。研究结果表明,Ｐｇ－ＬＰＳ可直接或间接地通过ＩＬ－１、ＴＮＦ和ＰＧＥ等发挥强大的骨吸收作用,故Ｐｇ－ＬＰＳ是牙周炎时牙槽骨吸收的主要因素之一

脂多糖增加小鼠巨噬细胞多磷酸肌醇脂代谢转换

多磷酸肌醇脂（这里指ＰＩＰ和ＰＩＰ２）的代谢在细胞信息传递和膜运转中起着重要的作用．脂多糖（ｌｉｐｏｐｏｌｙｓａｃｃｈａｒｉｄｅ,ＬＰＳ）于激活小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞（Ｍφ）初期（０．５～１ｈ）和后期（１６ｈ）明显增加来自［γ－３２Ｐ］ＡＴＰ的３２Ｐ参入Ｍφ的ＰＩＰ和ＰＩＰ２,３２Ｐ参入ＰＩＰ２的显著性大于ＰＩＰ．ＬＰＳ的这种作用在其激活Ｍφ的初期不受酪氨酸蛋白激酶抑制剂ｇｅｎｉｓｔｅｉｎ、蛋白激酶Ａ激动剂（ｆｏｒｓｋｏｌｉｎ）及百日咳毒素的影响;但佛波酯（ＰＭＡ）长时间预处理的Ｍφ（其ＰＫＣ活性被耗竭）再受ＬＰＳ刺激,［３２Ｐ］ＰＩＰ２水平较ＬＰＳ刺激未受ＰＭＡ预处理的Ｍφ明显降低．结果表明,ＬＰＳ于激活Ｍφ的初期和后期更显著增加ＰＩ４Ｐ－５激酶的活性,导致ＰＩＰ２合成增加,ＰＩＰ２合成的增加可能与Ｍφ激活时不同时期所表达的功能相关．

牙龈卟啉单胞菌脂多糖对CD4^＋CD25^＋调节性T细胞免疫抑制功能的影响

目的探讨牙龈卟啉单胞菌（Porphyromonas gingivalis,Pg）对CD4^＋CD25^＋调节性T细胞（regulatory T cells,Tregs）免疫抑制功能的影响。方法采用酚水法提取Pg ATCC 33277株脂多糖（lipopolysaccharide,LPS）。免疫磁珠法分离BALB／c小鼠脾脏CD4^＋CD25^＋Tregs并进行体外培养,同时给予不同剂量（0～500ng／ml）Pg—LPS干预,培养48h后收集细胞及上清液。Real-TimePCR法测定培养细胞Foxp3mRNA的表达,ELISA法分别测定细胞上清液中IL-10、TGF-β水平;采用体外淋巴细胞混合培养法对Pg-LPS干预后的CD4^＋CD25^＋Tregs进行功能抑制试验。结果Pg-LPS干预不影响CD4^＋CD25^＋Tregs分泌IL-10和TGF-β,但是能够显著上调CD4^＋CD25^＋TregsFoxp3mRNA的表达,增强其免疫抑制作用;当Ps—LPS浓度低于300ng／m1时,CD4^＋CD25^＋TregsFoxp3mRNA表达以及免疫抑制作用的增强与Ps—LPS浓度之间呈剂量-效应关系。结论Pg-LPS能够增强CD4^＋CD25^＋Tregs的免疫抑制作用,这种免疫抑制增强效应可能与CD4^＋CD25^＋Tregs Foxp3基因表达的上调有关,并且不具有抑制性细胞因子依赖性。     

Human β-defensin 3 suppresses Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in RAW 264.7 cells and aortas of ApoE-deficient mice

Human beta-defensin 3 (hBD3) is an antimicrobial peptide showing immunomodulatory effect on both innate and acquired immune response. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by accumulation of lipids in the vascular wall. In this study, we evaluated whether hBD3 could attenuate the atherosclerosis development accelerated by Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (Pg-LPS) with apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE^−/−) mice. We observed that, in vivo, hBD3 inhibited serum MCP-1, sICAM-1 levels of ApoE-deficient mice exposed to Pg-LPS in a chronic inflammation model. Serum levels of total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were also markedly reduced with hBD3 intervention. In addition, thinned vascular walls, less macrophage infiltration and the formation of atherosclerotic lesions were observed in the hBD3-treated group. Furthermore, in vitro, hBD3 profoundly suppressed the production of TNF-α and IL-6 in RAW 264.7 cells induced by Pg-LPS in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, hBD3 attenuated the phosphorylation of p38 and ERK1/2 in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Taken together, our work has revealed that hBD3 exhibits potent anti-inflammatory properties both in vitro and in vivo, and this effect might be correlated with inhibition of MAPK pathway.     

Metabolism of ornithine in human gingival tissue

The behavior of two enzymes of the ornithine pathway, leading to the formation of proline and, eventually, of collagen, arginase and ornithine oxo-acid aminotransferase has been investigated in normal and inflamed gingival tissue. Both enzymatic activities show a statistically significant decrease in pathological samples as compared to normal ones. The data on arginase activity may be in agreement with the already documented low level of urea in pathological gingival fluid, while a decrease of the ornithine aminotransferase activity could be linked to the phenomenon of gingival retraction, i.e. the lack of complete regeneration of gingival tissue usually observed in chronically inflamed subjects, that would be reasonably parallel to a decreased proline/collagen synthesis.     

Gingipain of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Porphyromonas gingivalis</Emphasis> manipulates M1 macrophage polarization through C5a pathway

Gingipains secreted by Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis, Pg) play an important role in maintaining macrophage infiltrating. And, this study is to evaluate effects of gingipain on M1 macrophage polarization after exposure to Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis, Pg) and if these effects are through complement component 5a (C5a) pathway. Mouse RAW264.7 macrophages were exposed to gingipain extracts, Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharides (Ec-LPS), Pg-LPS with or without the C5aR antagonist: PMX-53 for 24 h. Then, gene expressions and protein of IL-12, IL-23, iNOS, IL-10, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 were determined by qRT-PCR and ELISA assays. Surface markers CD86 for M1 and CD206 for M2 were also evaluated by flow cytometry. The results show that gingipain extracts alone increased expressions of IL-12, IL-23, iNOS, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, but not IL-10. Gingipain extracts plus Ec-LPS decreased expressions of IL-12, IL-23, iNOS, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in which Ec-LPS induced increase. For gingipain extracts plus Pg-LPS-treated RAW264.7, macrophages, gingipain extracts enhanced expressions of IL-12 and IL-23 in which Pg-LPS induced increase, but not iNOS and IL-10 while gingipain extracts decreased expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in which Pg-LPS induced increase. Interestingly, PMX-53 increased expressions of IL-12, IL-23, and iNOS when RAW264.7 macrophages were treated with gingipain extracts plus Ec-LPS or Pg-LPS and PMX-53, while PMX-53 decreased expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. Changes of CD86-positive macrophages were consistent with cytokine changes. Our data indicate that gingipain is a critical regulator, more like a promoter to manipulate M1 macrophage polarization in order to benefit P. gingivalis infection through the C5a pathway.     

Content and composition of fatty acids in normal and inflamed gingival tissues

The balance of essential fatty acid is important for good health and normal development. Essential fatty acids (EFA) are the precursors of prostaglandins (PGs), thromboxanes and leukotrienes (LT). The aim of this clinical study was to determine the total fatty acid level of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), saturated fatty acids (SFA) and each fatty acids level of inflamed and normal gingival tissues. Twenty-seven subjects were included the present study. Nineteen samples of inflamed human gingival tissue (nine of fibrous hyperplasia (FH), ten of peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) and eight samples of normal human gingival tissue were analyzed. The characteristics of inflammation were assessed histologically. Variance analyses were performed to assess the differences among tissues. The total cellular fatty acid profiles of the tissues in inflamed human gingival tissue and in eight samples of normal human gingival tissue were determined by gas chromatography using Sherlock microbial identification system (MIS) software (Microbial ID, Newark, DE, USA) with a database of FAME profiles for eukary. PUFAs, MUFAs, and SFAs were quantified by Sherlock microbial identification system (MIS) or database gas chromatography (DGC). There were statistically significant differences between the concentrations in inflamed (FH, PGCG) and healthy gingival tissues for PUFA and MUFA (P<0.001, P<0,011, respectively). There were statistically significant differences among the concentrations in FH, PGCG, and healthy gingival tissues for SFA (P<0.0001). Arachidonic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, linoleic acid were increased in inflamed tissue. The results of this study showed that unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA and MUFA) significantly increased in inflamed gingival tissues.     

Interleukin-1 superfamily member,interleukin-33, in periodontal diseases

Interleukin (IL) -33 is a nuclear protein that is released from damaged cells and acts as an alarmin. We investigated the expression of IL-33 in human gingival fibroblasts after stimulation by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Human periodontal tissue samples were collected and fixed in phosphate-buffered 4% formalin in saline and processed to paraffin blocks. TNF-α was immunostained in samples of ten periodontitis patients and ten controls. Human gingival fibroblasts were isolated using an explant culture technique. The influence of TNF-α on IL-33 in gingival fibroblasts was analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The number of TNF-α positive cells was significantly greater in periodontitis samples than in controls. TNF-α was located mainly in macrophage- and fibroblast-like cells, vascular endothelial cells and epithelial cells. Analysis of IL-33 expression in cell culture lysates showed that TNF-α induced IL-33 in cultured gingival fibroblasts. Periodontitis samples are characterized by Th2 cell dominance, which has been linked to anti-inflammatory responses and periodontal repair. TNF-α-induced IL-33 may link inflammation directly to the IL-33-dependent stimulation of Th2 cytokine producing cells and participate in the induction of lymphocytes, which results in protective, anti-inflammatory and reparative responses.     

固定矫治器戴入前后牙周可疑病原菌和牙周临床指数的变化

目的:固定矫治器戴入前后的不同时间进行龈缘菌斑的微生物学检查和牙周状况的临床检查,以探讨固定矫治器戴入前后牙周可疑病原菌和牙周状况的动态变化过程.方法:选择18名固定正畸患者,于矫治器戴入前和戴入后1、3、6月分别检查16、41牙位的菌斑指数、牙龈指数、探诊深度、探诊出血,并在近中颊侧颊轴角处采集龈缘菌斑样本,采用细菌培养鉴定方法测定牙周可疑病原菌的检出量(CFU/g)和检出率.结果:与基线相比,观察期内龈缘菌斑的G￣产黑色素厌氧杆菌检出量和检出率在两个牙位均升高(P＜0.05),41的优杆菌、弯曲杆菌、拟杆菌、普氏菌亦有升高(P＜0.05).临床指标中16的牙龈指数(颊侧)和探诊深度(颊、舌侧)升高;41的菌斑指数(舌侧)降低(P＜0.05).结论:固定矫治器戴入后虽然可通过严格的口腔卫生指导有效控制牙面菌斑,但仍可引起牙周可疑病原菌增加.     

The effects of unilateral and bilateral neurectomy of inferior alveolar nerves on the frequency of PCNA-positive keratinocytes in basal layer of gingival epithelium in Lewis rats

The aim of our study was to establish the role of sensory denervation on gingival epithelium proliferation. We investigated the effect of unilateral (right side) and bilateral neurectomy of inferior alveolar nerve on PCNA-positive (PCNA+) cell frequences in the basal layer of gingival epithelium in male Lewis rats. The samples were taken in each group both from left and right side of gingiva, and the PCNA+ cells were counted separately in the epithelium from both sides in all groups. The results of our study indicate that the proliferation of gingival epithelium, expressed as percentage of PCNA+ nuclei of basal layer keratinocytes of gingival squamous epithelium, is better correlated with the trauma than with denervation.     

The function of TLR4 in interferon gamma or interleukin-13 exposed and lipopolysaccharide stimulated gingival epithelial cell cultures

Gingival epithelial cells are part of the first line of host defense against infection. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) serve important immune and nonimmune functions. We investigated how interferon gamma (INF-γ) and interleukin 13 (IL-13) are involved in the TLR4 ligand-induced regulation of interleukin-8 (IL-8) effects on gingival epithelial cells. We used immunohistochemistry to localize TLR4 in ten healthy and ten periodontitis tissue specimens. Gingival epithelial cells then were primed with Th1 cytokine (INF-γ) or Th2 cytokine (IL-13) before stimulation with Escherichia coli-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to detect the level of IL-8 secretion in cell culture supernatants. Although both healthy and periodontitis gingival tissue samples expressed TLR4, the periodontitis samples showed more intense expression on gingival epithelial cells. Gingival epithelial cell cultures were primed with either INF-γ or IL-13 before stimulation with TLR4 ligand. Supernatants from co-stimulated epithelial cells exhibited IL-8 production in opposite directions, i.e., as one stimulates the release, the other reduces the release. INF-γ significantly increased TLR4 function, whereas IL-13 significantly decreased TLR4 function, i.e., production of IL-8. Pathogen associated molecular pattern-LPS, shared by many different periodonto-pathogenic bacteria, activates the gingival epithelial cells in a TLR-dependent manner. Diminished or increased TLR function in gingival epithelial cells under the influence of different Th cell types may protect or be harmful due to the altered TLR signaling.
