Abstract
Aims: The current study aimed to explore the adjuvant therapeutic effect of N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs)-lactonase est816 on Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans) biological behaviors and periodontitis progression.
Methods: The inhibitory properties of est816 were detected by live/dead bacterial staining, scanning electron microscope (SEM), crystal-violet staining and reverse-transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Biocompatibility of est816 on human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and human gingival epithelial cells (HGEs) was evaluated by CCK8 and ELISA. The ligature-induced periodontitis model was established in rats. Micro computed tomography and immunohistochemical and histological staining served to evaluate the effect of est816 on the prevention of periodontitis in vivo.
Results: est816 significantly attenuated biofilm formation, reduced the mRNA expression of cytolethal distending toxin, leukotoxin and poly-N-acetyl glucosamine (PNAG) and downregulated expressions of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α with low cell toxicity. In vivo investigations revealed est816 decreased alveolar bone resorption, suppressed matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression and increased osteoprotegerin expression.
Conclusion: est816 inhibited A. actinomycetemcomitans biofilm formation and virulence release, resulting in anti-inflammation and soothing of periodontitis in rats, indicating that est816 could be investigated in further research on periodontal diseases.
期刊介绍：
As the first Open Access journal in its field, the Journal of Oral Microbiology aims to be an influential source of knowledge on the aetiological agents behind oral infectious diseases. The journal is an international forum for original research on all aspects of ''oral health''. Articles which seek to understand ''oral health'' through exploration of the pathogenesis, virulence, host-parasite interactions, and immunology of oral infections are of particular interest. However, the journal also welcomes work that addresses the global agenda of oral infectious diseases and articles that present new strategies for treatment and prevention or improvements to existing strategies.
Topics: ''oral health'', microbiome, genomics, host-pathogen interactions, oral infections, aetiologic agents, pathogenesis, molecular microbiology systemic diseases, ecology/environmental microbiology, treatment, diagnostics, epidemiology, basic oral microbiology, and taxonomy/systematics.
Article types: original articles, notes, review articles, mini-reviews and commentaries
