项目摘要

Abstract Periodontal disease affects millions of individuals in the US alone and has been substantiated as a precursor to other debilitating systemic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Our laboratories have shown that expression of certain microRNAs (miRNAs) are elevated in murine polymicrobial periodontitis. The current paradigm is that miRNAs are generally involved in fine-tuning gene expression. However, our in vitro studies have demonstrated that miR- 146a is a dominant miRNA that can be up-regulated 30 to 200+ fold during lipopolysaccharide stimulation and, more importantly, that this increase is sustained for days. We have demonstrated that miR-146a is a key regulator in endotoxin-induced tolerance and cross-tolerance using a monocyte/macrophage-based system. Similarly, we have demonstrated that miR-132 is a dominant miRNA in peptidoglycan-stimulated monocytes and can induce cross-tolerance. In the current proposal, these dominant miRNAs will be examined using in vitro and in vivo systems to critically determine their role in our established murine model of periodontitis with 4 major well-characterized periodontal pathogens (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, Tannerella forsythia, Fusobacterium nucleatum) and Streptococcus gordonii as early colonizer. The overall hypothesis is that these miRNAs are the dominant miRNAs regulating toll-like receptor (TLR)/IL-1-signaling pathways. Four Specific Aims are proposed. Specific Aim 1 will define the mechanistic role of these miRNAs, including mapping of target mRNAs, in primary human oral epithelial cells in reference to human monocytes. Specific Aim 2 will determine the expression kinetics of the dominant miRNA in mono- or time-sequential polymicrobial infection-induced periodontitis in mice and examine the relative effects of TLR2 and TLR4 using gene knockout mice. Specific Aim 3 will evaluate the relative contribution of these dominant miRNAs in this periodontitis model using specific miRNA knockout mice. Specific Aim 4 will investigate the association of these dominant miRNAs as biomarkers in gingival crevicular fluid and gingival tissues in chronic periodontitis and correlation with therapeutic outcomes. The long-term goal is to determine how extensively these dominant miRNAs can serve as functional biomarkers and they regulate innate immune response pathways contributing to periodontitis. In future studies, this mouse periodontitis model will become critical to help develop manipulation of these miRNA functions and/or the TLR pathway into novel therapeutics for periodontitis. Since innate immune response is known to play critical roles in many other diseases, our findings will likely be applicable to other chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

抽象的牙周疾病仅影响美国数以百万计的人，并被证实为前身对于其他令人衰弱的全身性疾病，包括心血管疾病，阿尔茨海默氏病，类风湿病关节炎和不良妊娠结局。我们的实验室表明某些microRNA的表达（miRNA）在鼠多数牙周炎中升高。当前的范式是miRNA是通常参与微调基因表达。但是，我们的体外研究表明，mir- 146a是一种主要的miRNA，在脂多糖模拟过程中可以上调30至200倍，并且，并且，更重要的是，这种增加持续了几天。我们已经证明mir-146a是关键内毒素中的调节剂使用基于单核细胞/巨噬细胞的系统可诱导的耐受性和交叉耐受性。同样，我们证明了miR-132是薄荷糖刺激的单核细胞中的主要miRNA 并可以诱导交叉耐受性。在当前建议中，将使用这些主导的miRNA使用体外和体内系统，批判性地确定它们在我们已建立的牙周炎模型中的作用主要特征良好的牙周病原体（斑岩牙龈牙龈，treponema denticola，Tannerella Forsythia，fusobacterium nucleatum）和Gordonii链球菌作为早期殖民者。总体假设是这些miRNA是调节Toll样受体（TLR）/IL-1信号途径的主要miRNA。四个提出了具体目标。具体目标1将定义这些miRNA的机械作用，包括针对人单核细胞的原代人口腔上皮细胞中靶标mRNA的映射。具体的 AIM 2将确定单或时间顺序多粒子中主要miRNA的表达动力学感染引起的小鼠牙周炎，并使用基因敲除检查TLR2和TLR4的相对作用老鼠。具体目标3将评估这些主要miRNA在此牙周炎模型中的相对贡献使用特定的miRNA敲除小鼠。特定目标4将研究这些主要miRNA的关联作为牙龈循环液和牙龈组织中的生物标志物，慢性牙周炎中的生物标志物以及与治疗结果。长期目标是确定这些主导的miRNA如何服务作为功能性生物标志物，它们调节了有助于牙周炎的先天免疫响应途径。未来的研究，该小鼠牙周炎模型将对发展这些miRNA的操纵至关重要用于牙周炎的新型治疗的功能和/或TLR途径。由于先天免疫反应是知道在许多其他疾病中扮演关键角色，我们的发现可能适用于其他慢性炎症和自身免疫性疾病。
