Project description:All experiment was done according to the Affymetrix manufacturerâs protocol. The resulting HGF gingiva expression profile(Hereditary gingival fibromatosis patient Gingiva replicate1 and replicate 2)was compared to normal gingiva control(Normal Gingiva replicate1 and replicate2). The data were collected and analyzed by GCOS 1.2 and GeneSpring 7.2 1-way T test. Experiment Overall Design: Hereditary gingival fibromatosis patient Gingiva (experimental) and Normal Gingiva (control) were used. N1 and P1 are gingiva tissue from female individuals while N2 and P2 are from male ones.
Project description:Gingival fibromatosis (GF) is a rare oral condition characterized by proliferative fibrous overgrowth of both the attached and marginal gingiva, and the interdental papilla. But there were no papers about gene expression of gingival fibromatosis. The aim of this study was to identify the differential expression of genes in GF using cDNA microarray analysis.
Project description:There were no studies about gene expression of normal gingiva before. We performed this study to compare with gene expression of gingival fibromatosis

Project description:The enamel renal syndrome (ERS) is a rare disorder featured by amelogenesis imperfecta, gingival fibromatosis and nephrocalcinosis. Gingival fibromatosis is a hallmark of the disease; it is characterized by the accumulation of a collagen-rich, dense connective tissue and of mineral deposits throughout the gingiva. ERS is caused by biallelic mutations in the FAM20A gene encoding a pseudokinase, likely acting as an allosteric activator of FAM20C, the Golgi casein kinase. How mutations in FAM20A may modify the gingival connective tissue homeostasis and cause fibromatosis is currently unknown. Conditioned media of gingival fibroblasts (GF) obtained from four unrelated ERS patients carrying distinct mutations and three control subjects were used. Secretomic analysis identified 109 dysregulated proteins whose abundance had increased (69 proteins) or decreased (40 proteins) at least 1.5-fold compared to control GF. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis revealed biological processes significantly over-represented or under-represented in the ERS GF. Proteins over-represented were mainly involved in extracellular matrix organization, collagen fibril assembly, and biomineralization whereas those under-represented were extracellular matrix-associated proteins. Accordingly, GO disease analysis indicated un significant enrichment of tumoral angiogenesis and fibrosis.
Project description:The mechanism of idiopathic gingival fibromatosis is still unclear. To provide new insights into the molecular and cellular differences between idiopathic gingival fibromatosis and periodontitis, we first identified the gene TGM2, which is differentially expressed between the two. We found that the expression of TGM2 is predominantly lower in idiopathic gingival fibromatosis than in periodontitis, and that the activity of SP1 due to the decreased expression of TGM2 promotes the generation of extracellular matrix-related genes in idiopathic gingival fibromatosis. We have identified biglycan, an extracellular matrix that is specifically upregulated in idiopathic gingival fibromatosis, and highlight the effects of SP1 and TGM2 on biglycan expression.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
Project description:Understanding the impact of the microbiota on oral mucosal epithelial barriers, particularly within the gingiva, is essential for elucidating the mechanisms underlying oral health and disease. The gingiva exhibits intricate tissue architecture and undergoes dynamic microenvironmental shifts influenced by various factors. Notably, microbial colonization emerges as an early-life factor that plays a significant role in shaping the functional and immunological maturation of the gingival epithelium. This study utilizes spatial transcriptomic analysis to unveil distinct immunological characteristics between the buccal and palatal regions of the murine gingiva, impacting natural alveolar bone loss. Moreover, the analysis identifies a significant influence of the microbiota on the development and function of the junctional epithelium, which faces the oral microbial plaque, offering new insights into neutrophil recruitment to this strategic location. Additionally, the microbiota is found to impact fundamental functions of the gingival epithelium, including proliferation kinetics and barrier sealing. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the crucial role played by the microbiota in regulating gingival barriers and brings attention to its unique influence on specific epithelial regions within the gingiva.
