Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to characterize the gingival oral barrier immunity of mouse early periodontitis gingiva. Method: A silk thread (ligature) was tied wround the mouse maxillary molar. Mouse palatal gingiva was harvested at 1 days after the ligature placement. Gingival cells were harvested and subjected to 10X Genomix scRNA-seq. Cell Ranger processed data were analysed.

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to compare NGS-derived gingiva transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) of rats with or without experimental periodontitis and to explore the effect of curcumin/ZNPs hydrogel on the transcription of gingiva in rats with periodontitis. Methods: Six-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 250–300 g (Dashuo company, China) were randomly divided into five groups (n = 5 per group): i) healthy control (Sham); ii) experimental periodontitis (EP); iii) experimental periodontitis treated by curcumin hydrogel (EP+Cur); iv) experimental periodontitis treated by ZNPs hydrogel (EP+ZNPs); v) experimental periodontitis treated by curcumin/ZNPs hydrogel (EP+Cur/ZNPs). Animals were anesthetized with isoflurane (5% induction, 2% maintenance, sealed until euthanized) and intramuscularly administered 0.1 mL penicillin (40,000 U/mL) for 7 days. EP was established by ligature with 4–0 silk thread around the bilateral maxillary first molars. Three days after ligature, P. gingivalis ATCC 33277 (107 CFU/mL) was smeared onto silk twice. Rats in the EP+Cur group were treated by curcumin hydrogel (Dalian Meilun Biotech Co., Ltd), EP+ZNPs group were treated by ZNPs hydrogel (Shanghai aladdin Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd), and EP+Cur/ZNPs group were treated by curcumin/ZNPs hydrogel. Total RNA was extracted with TRIzol® reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). The TruSeq Stranded total RNA with RiboZero Plus kit (IIlumina, San Diego, CA) was used to obtain a sequencing library from 1μg of total RNA. Eukaryotic mRNA sequencing was performed on Illumina Novaseq 6000 by Shanghai Majorbio Bio-pharm Technology Co., Ltd. Raw gene counts with a minimum of two counts per million in at least one sample were used for downstream analyses. Differentially expressed genes were determined by the DESeq2 Bioconductor/R package. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays. Results: Transcriptome analysis of 25 samples was completed in this project, and a total of 184.45 Gb Clean Data was obtained. The Clean Data of each sample reached 5.92 Gb and above, and the Q30 base percentage was above 92.75%. The Clean Reads of each sample were compared with the designated reference genome, and the comparison rate ranged from 93.38% to 95.1%. A total of 26188 expressed genes were detected in this analysis, including 22736 known genes and 3452 new genes; 57,961 expressed transcripts, including 29332 known transcripts and 28629 new transcripts. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of gingival transcriptomes of rats treated by Cur/ZnO gel, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology.
Project description:Gene expressions relate to the pathogenesis of periodontitis and have a crucial role in local tissue destruction and susceptibility to the disease. The aims of the present study were to explore comprehensive gene expressions/transcriptomes in periodontitis-affected gingival tissues, and to identify specific biological processes. The purpose of the present study was 1) to compare comprehensive gene expression/transcriptomes of periodontitis-affected gingival tissues with those of healthy tissues by using microarray and data mining technologies, and 2) to analyze significantly differentially expressed genes which belong to pathological pathways in periodontitis by qRT-PCR. Two distinct gingival samples including healthy and periodontal-affected gingiva were taken from 3 patients with severe chronic periodontitis. Total RNAs from 6 gingival tissue samples were used for microarray and data-mining analyses. Comparisons, gene ontology, and pathway frequency analyses were performed and identified significant biological pathways in periodontitis. Quantitative reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyse using 14 chronic periodontitis patients including 3 patients listed above and 14 healthy individuals showed 9 differentially expressed genes in leukocyte migration and cell communication pathways.
Project description:Using single cell-RNA sequencing, we reported structural and functional changes of gingival cellulome in diabetes-associated periodontitis, with the aim to identify distinct cell populations and functions involving in disease progression. We identified inflammation-related stromal and epithelial subpopulations that expanded in diabetes-associated periodontitis, creating distinct immune microenvironment that drives the progression of the disease.
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to characterize the gingival oral barrier immunity of TLR9 ligand (CpG oligonucleotide) and TLR2/4 ligand (LPS)-treated mouse maxilla. Method: TLR9 ligand or TLR2/4 ligand was topically applied to the mouse palatal gingiva. Mouse palatal gingiva was harvested at 4 days after topical application. Gingival cells were harvested and subjected to 10X Genomix scRNA-seq. Cell Ranger processed data were analysed.
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:Periodontitis induces myeloid lineage skewing of the bone marrow progenitor cells. In this study, we performed single cell RNA-sequencing in LSK (Lin—Sca-1+cKit+ ) cells to determine whether the periodontitis-induced myeloid lineage bias persists after the resolution of periodontal inflammation.
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to characterize the gingival oral barrier immunity of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) and HMDP-treated BRONJ mouse maxilla. Method: Mouse BRONJ was induced by Zoledronate IV injection and maxillary left first molar extraction. HMDP-DNV was topically applied to the BRONJ lesion 2 times. Mouse palatal gingiva was harvested 2 weeks after tooth extraction. Gingival cells were harvested and subjected to 10X Genomix scRNA-seq. Cell Ranger processed data were analysed.
