Abstract
miRNAs are major regulators of eukaryotic gene expression and host immunity, and play an important role in the inflammation-mediated pathways in periodontal disease (PD) pathogenesis. Expanding our previous observation with the global miRNA profiling using partial human mouth microbes, and lack of in vivo studies involving oral spirochete Treponema denticola-induced miRNAs, this study was designed to delineate the global miRNA expression kinetics during progression of periodontitis in mice infected with T. denticola by using NanoString nCounter® miRNA panels. All of the T. denticola-infected male and female mice at 8 and 16 weeks demonstrated bacterial colonization (100%) on the gingival surface, and an increase in alveolar bone resorption (p < 0.0001). A total of 70 miRNAs with at least 1.0-fold differential expression/regulation (DE) (26 upregulated and 44 downregulated) were identified. nCounter miRNA expression profiling identified 13 upregulated miRNAs (e.g., miR-133a, miR-378) and 25 downregulated miRNAs (e.g., miR-375, miR-34b-5p) in T. denticola-infected mouse mandibles during 8 weeks of infection, whereas 13 upregulated miRNAs (e.g., miR-486, miR-126-5p) and 19 downregulated miRNAs (miR-2135, miR-142-3p) were observed during 16 weeks of infection. One miRNA (miR-126-5p) showed significant difference between 8 and 16 weeks of infection. Interestingly, miR-126-5p has been presented as a potential biomarker in patients with periodontitis and coronary artery disease. Among the upregulated miRNAs, miR-486, miR-126-3p, miR-126-5p, miR-378a-3p, miR-22-3p, miR-151a-3p, miR-423-5p, and miR-221 were reported in human gingival plaques and saliva samples from periodontitis and with diabetes. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis revealed various functional pathways of DE miRNAs, such as bacterial invasion of epithelial cells, Ras signaling, Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis, osteoclast differentiation, adherens signaling, and ubiquitin mediated proteolysis. This is the first study of DE miRNAs in mouse mandibles at different time-points of T. denticola infection; the combination of three specific miRNAs, miR-486, miR-126-3p, and miR-126-5p, may serve as an invasive biomarker of T. denticola in PD. These miRNAs may have a significant role in PD pathogenesis, and this research establishes a link between miRNA, periodontitis, and systemic diseases.
