Influences of CDK9 on gene expressions

ABSTRACT: To understand better the contribution of CDK9 in P. gingivalis-stimulated gene expression, gene chips were performed. Lentiviral vectors carrying CDK9 shRNA or not were transfected into cells for 96 hours, with the assist of Envirus. NC group was transfected with non-targeting scramble and stimulated with PBS. NC and Pg group was transfected with non-targeting scramble and stimulated with P. gingivalis. CDK9 shRNA group was transfected with CDK9 shRNA and stimulated with PBS. CDK9 shRNA and Pg group was transfected with CDK9 shRNA and stimulated with P. gingivalis.

Project description:Periodontitis affects 47.1% of adult population in the U.S. Porphyromonas gingivalis is an opportunistic oral pathogen that colonizes the oral mucosa, invades myeloid dendritic cells and accesses the bloodstream, brain, placenta and other organs in human with periodontitis. Periodontitis also sustains a chronic long-term pro-inflammatory immune disorder, potentially contributing to other systemic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and osteoporosis. However, the role of P. gingivalis minor and major fimbriae in DC-SIGN-TLR2 crosstalk during traverses from oral mucosa to these distant sites and its influence on survival of P. gingivalis within DCs and its immune-mechanism involve at molecular/transcriptome level has not been examined. In this study to address the role of fimbriae we utilized defined bacterial mutants that solely express minor fimbriae (Mfa1+Pg), major fimbriae (FimA+Pg) or are deficient in both fimbriae (MFB) and compared with un-infected control. P. gingivalis strains were maintained anaerobically (10% H2, 10% CO2, and 80% N2) in a Forma Scientific anaerobic system glove box model 1025/1029 at 37Â°C in Difco anaerobe broth MIC. Mutant strains were maintained using erythromycin (5 Î¼g/ml) for mutant Mfa1+Pg, tetracycline (2 Î¼g/ml) for mutant FimA+Pg and both erythromycin and tetracycline for double fimbriae mutant MFB. Bacterial suspensions were washed five times in PBS and re-suspended for spectrophotometer reading at OD 660 nm of 0.11, which previously determined to be equal to 5 x 107 CFU. For bacterial CFSE staining, the suspension were washed (3 times) and re-suspended in 5 Î¼M of CFSE in PBS. The bacteria were incubated for 30 min at 37Â°C in the dark. MoDCs were pulsed with Pg381, Mfa1+Pg, FimA+Pg and MFB at 10 MOI and incubated with the MoDCs for 12 hours and each experimental condition was performed in triplicate. To facilitate our understanding on host immunity and defense mechanism of this pathogen, here we used the Illumina High-throughput RNA-seq transcriptome profiling to investigate the myeloid dendritic cells response to oral Amphibiont (1. Pg381, 2. Mfa1+Pg, 3. FimA+Pg, 4. MFB and 5. Un-infected control group).
