Methylome-wide analysis in systemic microbial-induced experimental periodontal disease in mice with different susceptibility. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2024; 14:1369226. [PMID: 39086605 PMCID: PMC11289848 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2024.1369226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective The study delved into the epigenetic factors associated with periodontal disease in two lineages of mice, namely C57bl/6 and Balb/c. Its primary objective was to elucidate alterations in the methylome of mice with distinct genetic backgrounds following systemic microbial challenge, employing high-throughput DNA methylation analysis as the investigative tool. Methods Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg)was orally administered to induce periodontitis in both Balb/c and C57bl/6 lineage. After euthanasia, genomic DNA from both maxilla and blood were subjected to bisulfite conversion, PCR amplification and genome-wide DNA methylation analysis using the Ovation RRBS Methyl-Seq System coupled with the Illumina Infinium Mouse Methylation BeadChip. Results Of particular significance was the distinct methylation profile observed within the Pg-induced group of the Balb/c lineage, contrasting with both the control and Pg-induced groups of the C57bl/6 lineage. Utilizing rigorous filtering criteria, we successfully identified a substantial number of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) across various tissues and comparison groups, shedding light on the prevailing hypermethylation in non-induced cohorts and hypomethylation in induced groups. The comparison between blood and maxilla samples underscored the unique methylation patterns specific to the jaw tissue. Our comprehensive methylome analysis further unveiled statistically significant disparities, particularly within promoter regions, in several comparison groups. Conclusion The differential DNA methylation patterns observed between C57bl/6 and Balb/c mouse lines suggest that epigenetic factors contribute to the variations in disease susceptibility. The identified differentially methylated regions associated with immune regulation and inflammatory response provide potential targets for further investigation. These findings emphasize the importance of considering epigenetic mechanisms in the development and progression of periodontitis.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests a significant association between periodontal disease and the occurrence of various cancers. The carcinogenic potential of several periodontal pathogens has been substantiated in vitro and in vivo. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the diverse mechanisms employed by different periodontal pathogens in the development of cancer. These mechanisms induce chronic inflammation, inhibit the host's immune system, activate cell invasion and proliferation, possess anti-apoptotic activity, and produce carcinogenic substances. Elucidating these mechanisms might provide new insights for developing novel approaches for tumor prevention, therapeutic purposes, and survival improvement.

Abstract
Periodontitis is linked to the onset and progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), an epidemiologically frequent and clinically aggressive malignancy. In this context, Fusobacterium (F.) nucleatum and Porphyromonas (P.) gingivalis, two bacteria that cause periodontitis, are found in OSCC tissues as well as in oral premalignant lesions, where they exert pro-tumorigenic activities. Since the two bacteria are present also in endodontic diseases, playing a role in their pathogenesis, here we analyze the literature searching for information on the impact that endodontic infection by P. gingivalis or F. nucleatum could have on cellular and molecular events involved in oral carcinogenesis. Results from the reviewed papers indicate that infection by P. gingivalis and/or F. nucleatum triggers the production of inflammatory cytokines and growth factors in dental pulp cells or periodontal cells, affecting the survival, proliferation, invasion, and differentiation of OSCC cells. In addition, the two bacteria and the cytokines they induce halt the differentiation and stimulate the proliferation and invasion of stem cells populating the dental pulp or the periodontium. Although most of the literature confutes the possibility that bacteria-induced endodontic inflammatory diseases could impact on oral carcinogenesis, the papers we have analyzed and discussed herein recommend further investigations on this topic.

Abstract
Periodontitis (PD) is a prevalent and chronic inflammatory disease with a complex pathogenesis, and it is associated with the presence of specific pathogens, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis. Dysbiosis and dysregulated immune responses ultimately lead to chronic inflammation as well as tooth and alveolar bone loss. Multiple studies have demonstrated that genetic polymorphisms may increase the susceptibility to PD. Furthermore, gene expression is modulated by various epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, or the activity of non-coding RNA. These processes can also be induced by PD-associated pathogens. In this review, we try to summarize the genetic processes that are implicated in the pathogenesis of PD. Furthermore, we discuss the use of these mechanisms in diagnosis and therapeutic purposes. Importantly, novel treatment methods that could promote tissue regeneration are greatly needed in PD. In this paper, we also demonstrate current evidence on the potential use of stem cells and extracellular vesicles to stimulate tissue regeneration and suppress inflammation. The understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of PD, as well as the impact of PD-associated bacteria and stem cells in these processes, may enhance future research and ultimately improve long-term treatment outcomes.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to participate in the pathogenesis of several immune-related conditions through the modulation of the expression of cytokine coding genes and other molecules that affect the activity of the immune system. Periodontitis is an example of these conditions associated with the dysregulation of several miRNAs. Several miRNAs such as let-7 family, miR-125, miR-378, miR-543, miR-302, miR-214, miR-200, miR-146, miR-142, miR-30 and miR-21 have been shown to be dysregulated in patients with periodontitis. miR-146 is the most assessed miRNA in these patients, which is up-regulated in most studies in patients with periodontitis. In the present review, we describe the impact of miRNAs dysregulation on the pathoetiology of periodontitis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by multi-factors. Sleep is a natural physiologic process, and the sleep duration, quality, and patterns might be associated with periodontitis. Meanwhile, periodontitis might in turn induce systemic inflammation and thus impact sleep in different ways as well. METHODS To investigate the bidirectional relationship between sleep disorder and periodontitis, a literature search was conducted to reveal the interaction and possible mechanism between these two diseases. RESULTS The results show that sleep disorders can affect the progression of periodontitis via some pathomechanisms, and periodontitis also has a reverse impact on sleep. CONCLUSION Although the epidemiologic and clinical trials found the possible associations between sleep disorder and periodontitis, their relationship is still not that explicit. Further studies are warranted to shed light on them, to improve preventive health care.

Abstract
Epithelial cells line mucosal surfaces such as in the gingival crevice and provide a barrier to the ingress of colonizing microorganisms. However, epithelial cells are more than a passive barrier to microbial intrusion, and rather constitute an interactive interface with colonizing organisms which senses the composition of the microbiome and communicates this information to the underlying cells of the innate immune system. Microorganisms, for their part, have devised means to manipulate host cell signal transduction pathways to favor their colonization and survival. Study of this field, which has become known as cellular microbiology, has revealed much about epithelial cell physiology, bacterial colonization and pathogenic strategies, and innate host responses.

Abstract
Periodontitis is the chronic inflammation of the periodontal tissue. The present study aimed to investigate the role of baricitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK)1/2 inhibitor, in periodontitis by using a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced human periodontal ligament stem cell (PDLSC) model. The viability of PDLSCs stimulated by LPS was assessed in the presence of baricitinib by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. The induction of oxidative stress was evaluated by detecting the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and glutathione (GSH) content. ELISA and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR were used to determine the levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and alizarin red staining were used to assess the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. The expression levels of osteogenic differentiation- and JAK/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling-associated proteins were estimated with western blotting. RO8191, an agonist of the JAK/STAT pathway, was used to treat PDLSCs to investigate the regulatory mechanism of baricitinib. The results indicated that baricitinib elevated the LPS-induced decrease in cell viability. LPS-triggered oxidative stress and inflammation were inhibited by baricitinib, as demonstrated by the decreased levels of ROS, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and increased levels of SOD and GSH. In addition, baricitinib caused a marked elevation in ALP activity and mineralization ability of PDLSCs, as determined by the upregulated osteocalcin and Runt-related transcription factor 2 expression. Moreover, the expression levels of phosphorylated (p)-JAK1, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were downregulated by baricitinib in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, addition of RO8191 restored the effect of baricitinib on the induction of oxidative stress, inflammation and osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs exposed to LPS. Collectively, these findings suggested that baricitinib alleviated oxidative stress and inflammation and promoted osteogenic differentiation of LPS-induced PDLSCs by inhibiting JAK/STAT signaling.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a prevalent degenerative disease that is characterized by decreased bone density and strength, resulting in gradually increasing bone fragility. Osteoporosis is caused by an imbalance between osteoblastic bone formation and osteoclastic bone resorption. Recently, increasing evidence has suggested that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in the occurrence and development of osteoporosis. Herein, we explored the role of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 in osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). QPCR results indicated that KCNQ1OT1 and RICTOR were down-regulated, while miR-205-5p was up-regulated in the osteoporotic patients, as compared with non-osteoporotic controls. During the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, the expression of KCNQ1OT1 and RICTOR was upregulated, whereas miR-205-5p was downregulated. The interaction among KCNQ1OT1, miR-205-5p and RICTOR was validated by dual luciferase reporter system. KCNQ1OT1 promoted RICTOR expression via inhibiting miR-205-5p, therefore promoting osteogenesis as demonstrated by ALP assay, alizarin red staining and the increased expression of osteogenic markers (OPN, RUNX2 and OCN). Furthermore, KCNQ1OT1 overexpression or miR-205-5p inhibition could promote ALP activity and mineralization of BMSCs, while overexpressed miR-205-5p could reverse the effects of overexpressed KCNQ1OT1, and knockdown of RICTOR could reverse the effects of miR-205-5p inhibition. In conclusion, our study illustrated that KCNQ1OT1 might inhibit miR-205-5p in BMSCs, thus upregulating the expression of RICTOR and promoting osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Oral and esophageal squamous cell carcinomas harbor a diverse microbiome that differs compositionally from precancerous and healthy tissues. Though causality is yet to be definitively established, emerging trends implicate periodontal pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis as associated with the cancerous state. Moreover, infection with P. gingivalis correlates with a poor prognosis, and P. gingivalis is oncopathogenic in animal models. Mechanistically, properties of P. gingivalis that have been established in vitro and could promote tumor development include induction of a dysbiotic inflammatory microenvironment, inhibition of apoptosis, increased cell proliferation, enhanced angiogenesis, activation of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, and production of carcinogenic metabolites. The microbial community context is also relevant to oncopathogenicity, and consortia of P. gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum are synergistically pathogenic in oral cancer models in vivo. In contrast, oral streptococci, such as Streptococcus gordonii, can antagonize protumorigenic epithelial cell phenotypes induced by P. gingivalis, indicating functionally specialized roles for bacteria in oncogenic communities. Consistent with the notion of the bacterial community constituting the etiologic unit, metatranscriptomic data indicate that functional, rather than compositional, properties of the tumor-associated communities have more relevance to cancer development. A consistent association of P. gingivalis with oral and orodigestive carcinoma could have diagnostic potential for early detection of these conditions that have a high incidence and low survival rates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on miR-205-5p/HMGB1 axis in cerebral ischemic/reperfusion (I/R) injury. METHODS Both in vivo I/R rat model and in vitro hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) cell model using rat hippocampal neurons cells were established. miR-205-5p was overexpressed or inhibited by transfection of miR-205-5p mimics or inhibitor. HMGB1 was overexpressed by transfection overexpression plasmids (OE-HMGB1). TTC staining was used for measurement of infraction volume. Oxidative stress was evaluated by measurement of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and inflammation was evaluated by measurement of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α. Dual luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm binding between miR-205-5p and HMGB1. The expression levels of miR-205-5p, and HMGB1 were measured using RT-qPCR. Western blotting was used to test the protein expression levels of HMGB1, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) and catalase (CAT). RESULTS Treatment of DEX significantly reduced brain infraction volume, decreased Longa's neurological function score and inhibited oxidative stress and inflammation in brain tissues of I/R rats, which were all reversed by inhibition of miR-205-5p. Both treatment of DEX or overexpression of miR-205-5p restricted oxidative stress and inflammation in H/R rat hippocampal neurons cells. The inhibition of miR-205-5p reversed the effects of DEX, while the overexpression of HMGB1 reversed the effects of miR-205-5p overexpression in H/R rat hippocampal neurons cells. Dual luciferase reporter assay showed miR-205-5p directly targeted HMGB1. CONCLUSION DEX improved I/R injury by suppressing brain oxidative stress and inflammation DEX improved I/R injury by suppressing brain oxidative stress and inflammation through activating miR-205-5p/HMGB1 axis through activating miR-205-5p/HMGB1 axis.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is an inflammatory reaction of the periodontal tissues to oral pathogens. In the present review we discuss the intricate effects of a regulatory network of gene expression modulators, microRNAs (miRNAs), as they affect periodontal morphology, function and gene expression during periodontal disease. These miRNAs are small RNAs involved in RNA silencing and post-transcriptional regulation and affect all stages of periodontal disease, from the earliest signs of gingivitis to the regulation of periodontal homeostasis and immunity and to the involvement in periodontal tissue destruction. MiRNAs coordinate periodontal disease progression not only directly but also through long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which have been demonstrated to act as endogenous sponges or decoys that regulate the expression and function of miRNAs, and which in turn suppress the targeting of mRNAs involved in the inflammatory response, cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. While the integrity of miRNA function is essential for periodontal health and immunity, miRNA sequence variations (genetic polymorphisms) contribute toward an enhanced risk for periodontal disease progression and severity. Several polymorphisms in miRNA genes have been linked to an increased risk of periodontitis, and among those, miR-146a, miR-196, and miR-499 polymorphisms have been identified as risk factors for periodontal disease. The role of miRNAs in periodontal disease progression is not limited to the host tissues but also extends to the viruses that reside in periodontal lesions, such as herpesviruses (human herpesvirus, HHV). In advanced periodontal lesions, HHV infections result in the release of cytokines from periodontal tissues and impair antibacterial immune mechanisms that promote bacterial overgrowth. In turn, controlling the exacerbation of periodontal disease by minimizing the effect of periodontal HHV in periodontal lesions may provide novel avenues for therapeutic intervention. In summary, this review highlights multiple levels of miRNA-mediated control of periodontal disease progression, (i) through their role in periodontal inflammation and the dysregulation of homeostasis, (ii) as a regulatory target of lncRNAs, (iii) by contributing toward periodontal disease susceptibility through miRNA polymorphism, and (iv) as periodontal microflora modulators via viral miRNAs.
