项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract Many chronic inflammatory diseases, including periodontal infections, are biofilm-based pathologies mediated by indigenous microbiota persisting within complex host-associated microbial communities. Determining the environmental cues that direct the physiological state (commensal versus pathogenic state) of oral anaerobes, is fundamental to development of therapeutic strategies for periodontal diseases. Recent studies indicate that the pathogenic potential of the anaerobic bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis is not solely dependent on its ability to colonize and proliferate within the subgingival biofilm; its physiological state and its associations within the microbial consortium are fundamental to development of pathology. The central hypothesis for this application is that the availability of L-arginine is a key signal/substrate that impacts P. gingivalis surface translocation, expression of virulence determinants, and biofilm formation. Studies have reported that the levels of arginine increase 2-fold (from ~5µM to 10µM) in gingival crevicular fluid during periodontal disease. The reason for this increase is not known but may reflect a decrease in metabolism by the microbial community, a decrease in uptake by host cells, or an increase in bacterial arginine biosynthesis. One known factor is the activity of the arginine - specific cysteine proteases (Arg-gingipains) produced by P. gingivalis, along with its carboxypeptidase that releases the terminal arginine residues from peptides produced by Arg- gingipains. Our analysis shows that both intracellular and extracellular accumulation of L-arginine has a negative impact on P. gingivalis physiology, confirming that the levels of L-arginine are monitored and controlled. Our studies have shown that under L-arginine deplete conditions, P. gingivalis down regulates expression of fimbriae, inhibiting biofilm formation; and, in contrast, addition of L-arginine boosts fimbrial expression and surface colonization. Thus, P. gingivalis adjusts its lifestyle in response to changes in extracellular L-arginine. What remains unclear is the sensing and regulatory mechanisms that control this change in physiology. The goal of this application is to determine how P. gingivalis controls extracellular and intracellular arginine concentrations and in particular the effect of changes in arginine concentration on its ability to surface translocate. Importantly, L-arginine is known to be an important modulator of the host immune response to pathogens, so we posit that there is a delicate balance between host and pathogen responses to arginine during disease progression and that P. gingivalis has evolved with the ability to sense and respond to this key amino acid as a fundamental strategy for persistence. The rationale for these studies is that identifying the signals that control colonization and the physiological state of oral pathogens will provide prime targets for the development of therapeutic strategies. Thus, the long-term objective is to determine if this mechanism of signaling can be targeted for treatment and prevention of biofilm-induced diseases in humans.

项目摘要/摘要许多慢性炎症性疾病，包括牙周感染，都是基于生物膜的病理学通过土著微生物群在复杂的宿主相关微生物群落中持续存在。确定指导口腔厌氧的物理状态（共生与致病状态）的环境线索，是牙周疾病理论策略的发展至关重要的。最近的研究表明厌氧细菌的致病潜力不仅取决于其在尺寸生物膜内定植和增殖的能力；它的身体状态及其内部的关联微生物财团是病理发展的基础。为此的中心假设应用是L-精氨酸的可用性是影响牙龈斑apsister的关键信号/底物易位，确定病毒的表达和生物膜形成。研究报告说在牙周疾病期间，精氨酸水平在牙龈5m上升高（从〜5µm到10µm）。这种增加的原因尚不清楚，但可能反映了微生物的代谢降低社区，宿主细胞摄取的减少或细菌精氨酸生物合成的增加。一个已知的因子是精氨酸 - 特异性半胱氨酸蛋白酶（Arg -gyipains）的活性。以及其羧肽酶释放末端精氨酸从arg-产生的胡椒粉中保留的末端精氨酸 gingaipains。我们的分析表明，L-精氨酸的细胞内和细胞外积累均具有对牙龈疟原虫生理学的负面影响，确认监测L-精氨酸的水平并受控。我们的研究表明，在L-精氨酸删除的条件下，牙龈疟原虫下降会调节表达纤维状，抑制生物膜的形成；相比之下，添加L-精氨酸促进纤维化表达和表面定植。那就是牙龈疟原虫根据变化的变化来调整其生活方式细胞外L-精氨酸。尚不清楚的是控制这一点的传感和调节机制生理变化。该应用的目的是确定牙龈疟原虫如何控制细胞外和细胞内精氨酸浓度，尤其是精氨酸浓度变化对其的影响能够表面转运的能力。重要的是，L-精氨酸是宿主免疫的重要调节剂对病原体的反应，因此我们将宿主和病原体反应之间存在微妙的平衡精氨酸在疾病进展过程中，牙龈疟原虫的发展与感知和反应的能力发展该关键氨基酸是持久性的基本策略。这些研究的理由是确定控制殖民化和口腔病原体的物理状态的信号将提供Prime 制定理论策略的目标。这是长期目标是确定这是否信号传导机制可以针对人类的生物膜诱导疾病的治疗和预防。
