Project description:Chronic apical periodontitis (CAP) is a unique dynamic interaction between microbial invasions and host defense mechanisms, resulting in bone absorption, infiltration of immune cells and sporadic periapical granuloma. In this study, we constituted a single-cell atlas for 26,737 high-quality cells from hyperplastic periapical tissue using single-cell RNA sequencing. Identifying cell types and signatures at the single-cell level might generate novel insights into the clinical pathogenesis of CAP. A histological analysis to verify the gene signatures of nonimmune cells was combined with immunohistochemistry staining. We then discovered the diversity and heterogeneity of nonimmune cells in regional CAP lesions. The temporal profiling of genomic alterations from common CAP to typical periapical granuloma provided predictions for key transcription factors and biological processes. Our study also inferred that the marked shift of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, proteases and growth factors enables the initiation of polymorphic cell differentiation, lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis during CAP.

Project description:Apical periodontitis (AP) is a painful inflammatory disease resulting from tooth infection that affects millions worldwide with a marked impact on quality of life and is accompanied by bone loss surrounding the affected tooth. There is growing evidence that the nociceptive fibers densely innervating teeth regulate the disease progression, in addition to their sensorial function. We hypothesized that nociceptors regulate the transcriptomic profile of the periapical osteolytic lesion in a mouse model of AP. Male control (Nav1.8 cre+/-) and nociceptor-ablated (Nav1.8cre+/- DTAlox+/-) mice were generated and underwent pulp exposure procedures on all 4 first molars and at 8 weeks of age. At either 0, 7, or 14 days after pulp exposure, periapical tissues were dissected from mice (n=3-4/strain/time point). Total RNA was extracted from the pooled periapical lesions from each animal and submitted for total RNA sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. We found that pulp exposure triggers the differential expression of hundreds of genes within the periapical lesion over the course of infection with marked differences between in both control and mice with nociception ablation. Importantly, at 14 days post pulp-exposure, 422 genes were differentially expressed between nociceptor-ablated and control mice with greater enrichment of biological processes related to inflammation, specifically immune cell chemotaxis and migration, compared to control mice. Among these inflammatory markers, TNFα, IL-1α, and IL-1β, that are known to play a crucial role in AP were significantly upregulated in nociceptor-ablated mice. In conclusion, nociceptor-ablation regulates the transcriptomic profile of periapical lesions in a mouse model of AP, shifting the gene expression profile to a greater enrichment of inflammatory genes, suggesting nociceptors play a role in the kinetics of the immune response. This newly uncovered neuro-immune axis and its mechanisms in AP can potentially be an important therapeutic target for the treatment of this prevalent disease.

Project description:Apical periodontitis (AP) is a painful disease that develops quickly following dental infections and is primarily characterized by robust inflammation surrounding the tissues of the affected tooth, resulting in disruption of bone homeostasis and periradicular bone loss. Moreover, there are distinct clinical presentations, symptoms, and responses to AP treatment between males and females, creating a desperate need to further understand the sex-specific mechanisms of AP. With the growing evidence that nociceptors modulate AP development, we utilized RNA sequencing in nociceptor-ablated (Nav1.8 cre+/-, Diphtheria Toxin Alox+/-) transgenic mice to study nociceptor regulation of the periapical lesion transcriptome using a rodent model of AP in female mice over 14 days. Overall, we found that female mice exhibit unique patterns of differentially expressed genes throughout AP infection compared to male mice, and that the expression of these genes is regulated by nociceptors. Additionally, nociceptor-ablation results in a more significant enrichment of biological processes related to immune responses earlier compared to cre-control (Nav1.8 cre+/-) females as well as greater expression of genes involved in inflammatory processes and osteolytic activity. Therefore, while nociceptor-ablation augments inflammatory and bone resorption responses in both males and females in a mouse model of AP, transcriptomic analyses demonstrate the mechanisms through which nociceptors modulate AP are distinct between sexes. These studies will provide the foundation needed to study further mechanisms of sex differences in AP, an area with a desperate need for investigation to treat current AP patients. Understanding these mechanisms can ultimately inform treatment options to alleviate suffering for millions of patients suffering from AP.
