Project description:The mucosal penetration area formed by implant placement is critical problems of dental implant treatment, because epithelial barrier is broken and it can become a source of inflammation. To clarify the influence and risk caused by dental implant treatment in peri-implant soft tissue, we compared to gene expression profile of peri-implant soft tissue and oral mucosal tissue with microarray analysis. Both side upper first molars of 4 week-old rat were extracted, and titanium alloy implants were placed only in the left extraction socket. Four weeks after surgery, samples were harvested from left side of peri-implant soft tissue and right side of oral mucosal tissue.

Project description:The composition of the salivary microbiota has been reported to differentiate between patients with periodontitis, dental caries and orally healthy individuals. Thus, the purpose of the present investigation was to compare metaproteomic profiles of saliva in oral health and disease. Stimulated saliva samples were collected from 10 patients with periodontitis, 10 patients with dental caries and 10 orally healthy individuals. Samples were analyzed by means of shotgun proteomics. 4161 different proteins were recorded out of which 1946 and 2090 were of bacterial and human origin respectively. The human proteomic profile displayed significant overexpression of the complement system and inflammatory mediators in periodontitis and dental caries. Bacterial proteomic profiles and functional annotation were very similar in health and disease. Data revealed multiple potential salivary proteomic biomarkers of oral disease. In addition, comparable bacterial functional profiles were observed in periodontitis, dental caries and oral health, which suggest that the salivary microbiota predominantly thrives in a planktonic state expressing no characteristic disease-associated metabolic activity. Future large-scale longitudinal studies are warranted to reveal the full potential of proteomic analysis of saliva as a biomarker of oral health and disease.

Project description:Odontoblasts and fibroblasts are suspected to influence the innate immune response triggered in the dental pulp by micro-organisms that progressively invade the human tooth during the carious process. To determine whether they differ in their responses to oral pathogens, we performed a systematic comparative analysis of odontoblast-like cell and pulp fibroblast responses to TLR2, TLR3 and TLR4 specific agonists (lipoteichoic acid [LTA], double-stranded RNA and lipopolysaccharide [LPS], respectively). Cells responded to these agonists by differential up-regulation of chemokine gene expression. CXCL2 and CXCL10 were thus increased by LTA only in odontoblast-like cells, while LPS increased CCL7, CCL26 and CXCL11 only in fibroblasts. These data suggest that odontoblasts and pulp fibroblasts differ in their innate immune responses to oral micro-organisms that invade the pulp tissue. Keywords: cell type comparaison Dental pulp fibroblasts and Odontoblast-like cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide, ipoteichoic acid or poly(I:C), or unstimulated. Triplicates.
