Expression data from human macrophages treated with Porphyromonas gingivalis and its components

ABSTRACT: Periodontitis is the most common human infection affecting tooth-supporting structures. It was shown to play a role in aggravating atherosclerosis. To deepen our understanding of the pathogenesis of this disease, we exposed human macrophages to an oral bacteria Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) either as live bacteria, or its lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or fimbria. Microarray data from treated macrophages or control cells were analyzed to define molecular signatures. We focused our analysis on three important groups of genes. Group PG (genes differentially expressed by live bacteria only); Group LFG (genes differentially expressed in response to exposure to LPS and/or FimA); Group CG (core gene set jointly activated by all 3 stimulants). A total of 842 macrophage genes were differentially expressed in at least one of the three conditions compared to naïve cells. Using pathway analysis, we found that group CG activates the initial phagocytosis process and induces genes relevant to immune response, whereas group PG can de-activate the phagocytosis process associated with phagosome-lysosome fusion. LFG mostly affected RIG-I-like receptor signaling pathway.

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).
