Gene expression profile analysis of Porphyromonas gingivalis during invasion of human coronary artery endothelial cells.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microarrays were used to identify genes of Porphyromonas gingivalis W83 differentially expressed during invasion of primary human coronary artery endothelial cells. Analyses of microarray images indicated that 62 genes were differentially regulated. Of these, 11 genes were up-regulated and 51 were down-regulated. The differential expression of 16 selected genes was confirmed by real-time PCR.

BACKGROUND In vivo-induced antigen technology was previously used to identify 115 genes induced in Porphyromonas gingivalis W83 during human infection. One of these, PG2197, a conserved hypothetical protein which has homology to a Zn-dependent protease, was examined with respect to a role in disease. DESIGN The expression of PG2197 in human periodontitis patients was investigated, but as ther...

There is an emerging paradigm shift from coronary heart disease having a purely hereditary and nutritional causation to possibly having an infectious etiology. Recent epidemiological studies have shown a correlation between periodontal disease and coronary heart disease. However, to date, there is minimal information as to the possible disease mechanisms of this association. It is our hypothesi...

Epidemiological and pathological studies have suggested that infection with the oral pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis can potentiate atherosclerosis and human coronary heart disease. Furthermore, infection with invasive, but not noninvasive P. gingivalis has been demonstrated to accelerate atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE(-/-)) mice and to accelerate local inflammatory respo...

Porphyromonas gingivalis is an oral pathogen that has recently been associated with chronic inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis. The strength of the epidemiological associations of P. gingivalis with atherosclerosis can be increased by the demonstration that P. gingivalis can initiate and sustain growth in human vascular cells. We previously established that P. gingivalis can invade a...

BACKGROUND Individuals with periodontitis have elevated serum levels of IL-6 and C-reactive protein and have been reported to have a significantly increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The transcription factor early growth response factor 1 (Egr-1) has been shown to play an important role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. However, it is not known whether peri...
