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:The effect of oral microbiota on the intestinal microbiota has garnered growing attention as a mechanism linking periodontal diseases to systemic diseases. However, the salivary microbiota is diverse and comprises numerous bacteria with a largely similar composition in healthy individuals and periodontitis patients. Thus, the systemic effects of small differences in the oral microbiota are unclear. In this study, we explored how health-associated and periodontitis-associated salivary microbiota differently colonized the intestine and their subsequent systemic effects by analyzing the hepatic gene expression and serum metabolomic profiles. The salivary microbiota was collected from a healthy individual and a periodontitis patient and gavaged into C57BL/6NJcl[GF] mice. Samples were collected five weeks after administration. Gut microbial communities were analyzed by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. Hepatic gene expression profiles were analyzed using a DNA microarray and quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Serum metabolites were analyzed by capillary electrophoresis time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The gut microbial composition at the genus level was significantly different between periodontitis-associated microbiota-administered (PAO) and health-associated oral microbiota-administered (HAO) mice. The hepatic gene expression profile demonstrated a distinct pattern between the two groups, with higher expression of Neat1, Mt1, Mt2, and Spindlin1, which are involved in lipid and glucose metabolism. Disease-associated metabolites such as 2-hydroxyisobutyric acid and hydroxybenzoic acid were elevated in PAO mice. These metabolites were significantly correlated with Bifidobacterium, Atomobium, Campylobacter, and Haemophilus, which are characteristic taxa in PAO mice. Conversely, health-associated oral microbiota were associated with higher levels of beneficial serum metabolites in HAO mice. The multi-omics approach used in this study revealed that periodontitis-associated oral microbiota is associated with the induction of disease phenotype when they colonized the gut of germ-free mice.

Project description:Salivary exsomal miRNAs may play important role in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory disease, such as periodontitis. There are many studies which suggested the connection between periodontitis and systemic disease, however, the role of specific miRNA as a intersection of periontitis and diabetes are not elucidated. We suggested miR-25-3p as possible common mediator in the pathogenesis of periodontitis and diabetes.
Project description:Ion channel splice array data from cerebellum brain tissue samples collected from Alzheimer's disease patients. Temporal cortex (Alzheimer's disease affected brain tissue structure) and cerebellum (Alzheimer's disease unaffected brain tissue structure) samples from control subjects were compared to temporal cortex and cerebellum of patients with Alzheimer's disease.
Project description:We report the application of high throughput Illumina sequencing for profiling of small RNAs in saliva of patients who were diagnosed with chronic periodontitis as compared to healthy controls. To date, there is no published literature on salivary microRNA profiling done using the high throughput next-generation sequencing analysis in patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis. Also, this is the first study of its kind done in an Indian population. The objectives of the study were to profile microRNAs expressed in saliva of patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis, to identify differentially expressed microRNAs between chronic periodontitis and healthy patients and to identify putative salivary microRNAs which can serve as biomarkers for periodontal disease.
