Transcriptomic signatures of periodontitis in companion dogs

ABSTRACT: We have characterized differences in gene expression in gingival samples from companion canines compared to a cohort with periodontal disease. We show significant similarities between the gene expression profiles of periodontitis in canines and periodontitis in humans. We then take a more fine-grained look at disease severity, and identify two distinct clusters of samples based on gene expression. We show that one cluster is strongly associated with moderate disease severity, and that gene expression is strongly perturbed in moderate disease, especially the keratinization pathway. We then show significant changes in gene expression of known gingipain target genes between the clades/clusters of RNA-Seq samples. Finally, we examine correlations between gene expression and microbial pathway abundances from a companion oral microbiome dataset which are suggestive of mechanisms by which dysbiosis is induced as disease progresses.

membrane substrates of gingipains

Project description:Porphyromonas gingivalis secretes cysteine proteases named gingipains which can cleave an array of proteins and importantly contribute to the development of periodontitis. In this study we focused on gingipain-exerted proteolysis at the cell surface of human gingival epithelial cells (telomerase immortalized gingival keratinocytes [TIGK]). We examined whether gingipains have sheddase activity or if their main activity is degradation of membrane proteins into small fragments. Using mass spectrometry, we investigated the whole sheddome/degradome of TIGK cell surface proteins by P. gingivalis strains differing in gingipain expression. We observed extensive degradation of TIGK surface proteins, suggesting that gingipains could in fact be the major cause of damage to the gingival epithelium. Most of the identified gingipain substrates were molecules involved in adhesion, suggesting that gingipains may cause tissue damage through cleavage of cell contacts, resulting in cell detachment and rounding, and consequently leading to anoikis. These results reveal a molecular underpinning to P. gingivalis-induced tissue destruction and enhance our knowledge of the role of P. gingivalis’ proteases in the pathobiology of periodontitis.

Comprehensive Proteomic Exploratory of Gingival Crevicular Fluid Identifies Complement and Neutrophil-Associated Alterations in Gingivitis and Periodontitis Progression

Project description:Aim: To provide an exploratory proteomic characterization of periodontal disease-related immune pathways by analyzing gingival crevicular fluid, revealing subtle proteomic changes accompanying disease progression. Materials and methods: Gingival crevicular fluid samples were collected from normal (control group), gingivitis, and periodontitis cohorts. Seventy-two samples were investigated, including those from normal (n=12), gingivitis (n=30) and periodontitis (n=30) groups. Samples were analyzed using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry and sequential statistical analyses including differential expression, weighted gene co-expression network analysis, and protein–protein interaction networks, evaluated with receiver operating characteristic curve analyses. Results: We identified 649 proteins. Differential expression analysis revealed several regulated proteins, including RAC2, S100A12, and LCN2, in the periodontitis group. Weighted gene co‐expression network analysis clustered six protein modules: M1 module was enriched in complement proteins and prominent in gingivitis, whereas neutrophil-related M2 and M5 modules were correlated with periodontitis severity. Protein–protein interaction network analyses revealed hub proteins, including RAC2 and S100A12, highlighting their functional associations. Receiver operating characteristic analysis supported their within-cohort discriminatory potential for selected proteins. Conclusion: This exploratory study suggested the pathophysiological differences in proteome between gingivitis and periodontitis, establishing a foundation for future investigations and hypothesis-driven research.

A florigen-expressing subpopulation of phloem companion cells expresses other small proteins and reveals a nitrogen-sensitive FT repressor

Project description:The precise onset of flowering is crucial to ensure successful plant reproduction. The gene FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) encodes florigen, a mobile signal that is produced in leaves and initiates flowering in the shoot apical meristem. FT is highly expressed in phloem companion cells that reside in distal leaf regions. Thus far, a detailed molecular characterization of the FT-expressing phloem companion cells has been lacking. Here, we used single-nuclei RNA-seq to investigate gene expression in FT-expressing cells and other phloem companion cells. We discovered that companion cells with high FT expression form a unique cluster and express other genes encoding small proteins, including the anti-florigen BROTHER OF FT (BFT). The promoters of FT and the genes co-expressed with FT were enriched for the consensus binding motif of NITRATE-INDUCIBLE GARP-TYPE TRANSCRIPTIONAL REPRESSOR1 (NIGT1). Overexpression of the paralogs NIGT1.2 and NIGT1.4 in transgenic Arabidopsis lines significantly delayed flowering under nitrogen-rich conditions, consistent with NIGT1s acting as nitrogen-dependent FT repressors. Taken together, our results demonstrate that FT-expressing cells show a distinct expression profile that suggests that these cells produce multiple systemic signals to regulate plant growth and development.

Active DNA demethylation in plant companion cells reinforces transposon methylation in gametes

Project description:The Arabidopsis thaliana central cell, the companion cell of the egg, undergoes DNA demethylation prior to fertilization, but the targeting preferences and biological significance of this process remain unclear. Here, we show that active DNA demethylation mediated by the DEMETER DNA glycosylase accounts for all of the demethylation in the central cell, and preferentially targets small, AT-rich and nucleosome-depleted transposable elements. The vegetative cell, the companion cell of sperm, also undergoes DEMETER-dependent demethylation of similar sequences, and lack of DEMETER in vegetative cells causes reduced small RNA-directed DNA methylation of transposons in sperm. Our results demonstrate that demethylation in companion cells reinforces transposon methylation in plant gametes, thereby assuring stable silencing of transposable elements across generations

Polyphenols from Myrothamnus flabellifolia Welw. inhibit in vitro adhesion of Porphyromonas gingivalis and exert anti-inflammatory cytoprotective effects in KB cells

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277 treated with an anti-adhesive extract from Myrothamnus flabellifolia compared to the untreated strain. Aim: Identification of anti-adhesive plant extracts against cell surface binding of Porphyromonas gingivalis. Materials and Methods: Polyphenol-enriched extract from Myrothamnus flabellifolia (MF) traditionally used for periodontitis was tested for inhibition of P. gingivalis adhesion to KB cells by FACS, for influence on gingipain activity, hemagglutination and by microarray analysis for effects on the bacterial transcriptome. P. gingivalis-induced inflammation parameters were monitored by RT-PCR. Results: MF (100 µg/ml) reduced P. gingivalis adhesion/invasion about 50% by interacting with fimbriae and bacterial OMPs. Microarray analysis of MF-treated bacteria indicated up-regulation of genes involved in cell adhesion. As confirmed by RT-PCR, fimbrillin- and Arg-gingipain-encoding genes were upregulated by MF. On the protein level, inhibition (70%) of Arg-gingipain activity was observed, while the corresponding Lys-gingipain was hardly influenced. MF also inhibited hemagglutination. While exposure to P. gingivalis resulted in an increased expression of inflammation-related genes in KB cells, pretreatment of KB cells with MF evoked cytoprotective effects concerning IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and TNFα gene expression as well as IL-6 release rates. Conclusions: While being cytoprotective, MF exerts strong anti-adhesive effects against P. gingivalis. Thus, MF may be useful for the prevention of P. gingivalis-associated periodontal diseases.
