Abstract
Orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR) is an undesirable complication of orthodontic treatment (OT) with an ambiguous aetiologic mechanism. This study aimed to identify OIIRR-associated biomarkers in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) using proteomic analysis. In this randomized clinical trial, the upper first premolars (UFP) were exposed either to light or heavy force. The GCF was collected at 1 h, 1 day, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, and 28 days following force application. After extraction of UFP, roots were imaged and resorption premolar, was used to deliver either light forcecraters were measured. Proteomic analysis of GCF was performed using 2D gel electrophoresis with MALDI-TOF/TOF MS/MS. Results were further analyzed by bioinformatics analyses showing the biological functions and predicted pathways. The predicted canonical pathways showed that the expression of immunoglobulin kappa (IGKC), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), neurolysin mitochondrial (NEUL), keratin, type II cytoskeletal 1 (K2C1), S100-A9, and the extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) were significantly associated with a range of biological and inflammatory processes. In conclusion, up-regulation of S100A9, CASR, and K2C1 suggested a response to force-related inflammation, chemotactic activities, osteoclastogenesis, and epithelial cell breakdown. Meanwhile, the up-regulation of IGKC, NGAL, and K2C1 indicated a response to the inflammatory process, innate immunity activation, and epithelial cell breakdown.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the obesity effects on the proteomic profile of the periodontal ligament of rats submitted to obesity induction by a high-fat diet. Eight Holtzman rats were divided into control (n = 3) and obese (n = 5) groups. The maxillae were histologically processed for laser capture microdissection of the periodontal ligament of the first maxillary molars. Peptide mixtures were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. A total of 1379 proteins were identified in all groups. Among them, 335 (24.30%) were exclusively detected in the obese group, while 129 (9.35%) proteins were uniquely found in the control group. Out of the 110 (7.98%) differentially abundant proteins, 10 were more abundant and 100 had decreased abundance in the obese group. A gene ontology analysis showed some proteins related to obesity in the “extracellular exosome” term among differentially identified proteins in the gene ontology cellular component terms Prelp, Sec13, and Sod2. These three proteins were upregulated in the obese group (p < 0.05), as shown by proteomic and immunohistochemistry analyses. In summary, our study presents novel evidence that the proteomic profile of the periodontal ligament is altered in experimental obesity induction, providing a list of differentially abundant proteins associated with obesity, which indicates that the periodontal ligament is responsive to obesity.

Obesity influences the proteome of periodontal ligament tissues following periodontitis induction in rats. J Periodontal Res 2022; 57:545-557. [PMID: 35246839 DOI: 10.1111/jre.12983] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Revised: 01/25/2022] [Accepted: 02/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Many studies have been conducted to better understand the molecular mechanism involved with periodontitis progression. There has been growing interest in the potential impact of obesity on periodontitis onset and progression, but the mechanisms involved remain to be elucidated. The present study was designed to determine the impact of obesity on experimentally induced periodontitis in rats and identify novel pathways involved. METHODS Sixteen Holtzman rats were distributed into two groups (n = 8): ligature-induced periodontitis (P) and obesity plus ligature-induced periodontitis (OP). Obesity was induced by a high-fat diet for 70 days, whereas periodontitis was induced for 20 days, with a cotton thread placed around the upper first molars bilaterally. Alveolar bone loss was measured by microtomographic analysis and histologically by histometry on the hemimaxillae. The protein composition of the periodontal ligament was evaluated by proteomic analysis. RESULTS Data analysis (body weight, adipose tissue weight, and blood test) confirmed obesity induction, whereas bone loss was confirmed by micro-CT and histologic analyses. Proteome analysis from the periodontal ligament tissues (PDL) identified 819 proteins, 53 exclusive to the P group, 28 exclusive to the OP group, and 738 commonly expressed. Validation was performed by immunohistochemistry for selected proteins (spondin1, vinculin, and TRAP). CONCLUSION Histologically, it was found that obesity did not significantly affect bone loss resulting from periodontitis. However, the present study's findings indicated that obesity affects the proteome of PDL submitted to experimental periodontitis, allowing for identifying potential targets for personalized approaches.

Abstract
The enamel renal syndrome (ERS) is a rare disorder featured by amelogenesis imperfecta, gingival fibromatosis and nephrocalcinosis. ERS is caused by bi-allelic mutations in the secretory pathway pseudokinase FAM20A. How mutations in FAM20A may modify the gingival connective tissue homeostasis and cause fibromatosis is currently unknown. We here analyzed conditioned media of gingival fibroblasts (GFs) obtained from four unrelated ERS patients carrying distinct mutations and control subjects. Secretomic analysis identified 109 dysregulated proteins whose abundance had increased (69 proteins) or decreased (40 proteins) at least 1.5-fold compared to control GFs. Proteins over-represented were mainly involved in extracellular matrix organization, collagen fibril assembly, and biomineralization whereas those under-represented were extracellular matrix-associated proteins. More specifically, transforming growth factor-beta 2, a member of the TGFβ family involved in both mineralization and fibrosis was strongly increased in samples from GFs of ERS patients and so were various known targets of the TGFβ signaling pathway including Collagens, Matrix metallopeptidase 2 and Fibronectin. For the over-expressed proteins quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed increased transcript levels, suggesting increased synthesis and this was further confirmed at the tissue level. Additional immunohistochemical and western blot analyses showed activation and nuclear localization of the classical TGFβ effector phospho-Smad3 in both ERS gingival tissue and ERS GFs. Exposure of the mutant cells to TGFB1 further upregulated the expression of TGFβ targets suggesting that this pathway could be a central player in the pathogenesis of the ERS gingival fibromatosis. In conclusion our data strongly suggest that TGFβ -induced modifications of the extracellular matrix contribute to the pathogenesis of ERS. To our knowledge this is the first proteomic-based analysis of FAM20A-associated modifications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the changes of peptidome profiles of saliva, serum and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) before and after nonsurgical periodontal treatment in patients with generalized periodontitis (stage I / II). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Saliva, serum and GCF samples were collected from 17 patients at baseline (T0 ), one week after ultrasonic supragingival scaling (T1 ) and eight weeks after subgingival scaling and root planning (T2 ). Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was carried out to detect changes in peptidomic profiles. Then nano-liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (nano-LC/ESI-MS/MS) was performed to identify potential peptide biomarkers. RESULTS Most of the peptides from the patients exhibited a decreasing trend from the time point of pre-treatment to that of post-treatment. Cluster analysis and scatter plots using these peptides indicated that salivary peptidome has an acceptable capability of reflecting the status of stage I / II generalized periodontitis. Seven of these peptides were successfully identified as α-1-antitrypsin, immunoglobulin κ variable 4-1, haptoglobin and immunoglobulin heavy constant γ2. CONCLUSIONS Certain peptides in saliva, serum and GCF were down-regulated after nonsurgical periodontal treatment, demonstrating the application prospects of saliva in monitoring and surveillance of periodontal diseases in both clinical settings and communities.

Abstract
Lycopersicon esculentum L., also known as tomato, is an important industrial plant due to its products which worth billions of dollars annually, besides its nutritional value and health benefits. In this study, we investigated the two-dimensional protein expression profiles in drought tolerant mutant plants derived from industrial 5MX12956 tomato variety by Cs-137 gamma radiation source induced mutations. Drought tolerance of mutants were evaluated and confirmed by in vivo and in vitro methods. Eleven drought responsive protein spots were identified by two-dimensional electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF-MS. Identified proteins which presented differential expression under drought conditions were clustered under six distinct groups based on their cellular functions. These clusters are ATP and carbohydrate metabolism, mRNA processing and protein phosphorylation, oxidation reduction and stress response, signaling and supporting cytoskeleton. Our results contributed proteomic data to drought tolerance of our tomato mutants which were originated from drought susceptible 5MX12956 variety. They may also facilitate basis for future investigations into the genetic and physiological aspects of this tolerance.

Abstract
P53-induced gene 11 (PIG11) is an early transcription-related target of p53 that is involved in cell apoptosis and tumor development. However, its biological function in gastric cancer (GC) tissues and relationship with the prognosis of patients with GC have remained elusive. In the present retrospective study, 60 fresh and 790 paraffin-embedded samples of GC were obtained from the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University (Nantong, China) with complete clinical data from all patients. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and tissue microarray-immunohistochemical analysis were used to determine the expression of PIG11 in the respective GC tissues. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to determine the diagnostic utility of PIG11 expression in GC. Furthermore, three online databases, including Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA), Oncomine and Kaplan-Meier plotter, were used for bioinformatics analysis of PIG11. PIG11 expression in GC tissues was high, which was positively correlated with invasive depth (P<0.001), lymph node metastasis (P<0.001), distant metastasis (P=0.019), TNM staging (P<0.001) and carcinoembryonic antigen in serum (P<0.001), and negatively associated with the overall survival of patients with GC. The ROC curve analysis suggested that based on PIG11 expression, it was possible to distinguish GC tissues from adjacent normal tissues (P<0.0001) with a sensitivity and specificity of 81.67 and 76.67%, respectively. In addition, Cox logistic regression analysis demonstrated that high PIG11 expression is a novel biomarker for unfavorable prognosis of patients with GC. Furthermore, the results obtained from the GEPIA database indicated that PIG11 expression is correlated with TNF, carcinoembryonic antigen related cell adhesion molecule 5, phosphatidylinositol-4, 5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha, VEGFA and kinase insert domain receptor. Therefore, PIG11 expression may be associated with the malignancy of GC and may serve as a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for GC.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a general term for diseases characterised by inflammatory destruction of tooth-supporting tissues, gradual destruction of the marginal periodontal ligament and resorption of alveolar bone. Early-onset periodontitis is due to disturbed neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation and clearance. Indeed, mutations that inactivate the cysteine proteases cathepsin C result in the massive periodontal damage seen in patients with deficient NET formation. In contrast, exaggerated NET formation due to polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) hyper-responsiveness drives the pathology of late-onset periodontitis by damaging and ulcerating the gingival epithelium and retarding epithelial healing. Despite the gingival regeneration, periodontitis progression ends with almost complete loss of the periodontal ligament and subsequent tooth loss. Thus, NETs help to maintain periodontal health, and their dysregulation, either insufficiency or surplus, causes heavy periodontal pathology and edentulism.

Abstract
Efforts to map gingival tissue proteomes and microbiomes have been hampered by lack of sufficient tissue extraction methods. The pressure cycling technology (PCT) is an emerging platform for reproducible tissue homogenisation and improved sequence retrieval coverage. Therefore, we employed PCT to characterise the proteome and microbiome profiles in healthy and diseased gingival tissue. Healthy and diseased contralateral gingival tissue samples (total n = 10) were collected from five systemically healthy individuals (51.6 ± 4.3 years) with generalised chronic periodontitis. The tissues were then lysed and digested using a Barocycler, proteins were prepared and submitted for mass spectrometric analysis and microbiome DNA for 16S rRNA profiling analysis. Overall, 1,366 human proteins were quantified (false discovery rate 0.22%), of which 69 proteins were differentially expressed (≥2 peptides and p < 0.05, 62 up, 7 down) in periodontally diseased sites, compared to healthy sites. These were primarily extracellular or vesicle-associated proteins, with functions in molecular transport. On the microbiome level, 362 species-level operational taxonomic units were identified. Of those, 14 predominant species accounted for >80% of the total relative abundance, whereas 11 proved to be significantly different between healthy and diseased sites. Among them, Treponema sp. HMT253 and Fusobacterium naviforme and were associated with disease sites and strongly interacted (r > 0.7) with 30 and 6 up-regulated proteins, respectively. Healthy-site associated strains Streptococcus vestibularis, Veillonella dispar, Selenomonas sp. HMT478 and Leptotrichia sp. HMT417 showed strong negative interactions (r < −0.7) with 31, 21, 9, and 18 up-regulated proteins, respectively. In contrast the down-regulated proteins did not show strong interactions with the regulated bacteria. The present study identified the proteomic and intra-tissue microbiome profile of human gingiva by employing a PCT-assisted workflow. This is the first report demonstrating the feasibility to analyse full proteome profiles of gingival tissues in both healthy and disease sites, while deciphering the tissue site-specific microbiome signatures.

Abstract
Understanding the progression of periodontal tissue destruction is at the forefront of periodontal research. The authors aimed to capture the dynamics of gingival tissue proteome during the initiation and progression of experimental (ligature-induced) periodontitis in mice. Pressure cycling technology (PCT), a recently developed platform that uses ultra-high pressure to disrupt tissues, is utilized to achieve efficient and reproducible protein extraction from ultra-small amounts of gingival tissues in combination with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (MS). The MS data are processed using Progenesis QI and the regulated proteins are subjected to METACORE, STRING, and WebGestalt for functional enrichment analysis. A total of 1614 proteins with ≥2 peptides are quantified with an estimated protein false discovery rate of 0.06%. Unsupervised clustering analysis shows that the gingival tissue protein abundance is mainly dependent on the periodontitis progression stage. Gene ontology enrichment analysis reveals an overrepresentation in innate immune regulation (e.g., neutrophil-mediated immunity and antimicrobial peptides), signal transduction (e.g., integrin signaling), and homeostasis processes (e.g., platelet activation and aggregation). In conclusion, a PCT-assisted label-free quantitative proteomics workflow that allowed cataloging the deepest gingival tissue proteome on a rapid timescale and provided novel mechanistic insights into host perturbation during periodontitis progression is applied.

Abstract
Periodontal disease entails the inflammatory destruction of the tooth supporting (periodontal) tissues as a result of polymicrobial colonization of the tooth surface in the form of biofilms. Extensive data collected over the past decades on this chronic disease demonstrate that its progression is infrequent and episodic, and the susceptibility to it can vary among individuals. Physical assessments of previously occurring damage to periodontal tissues remain the cornerstone of detection and diagnosis, whereas traditionally used diagnostic procedures do neither identify susceptible individuals nor distinguish between disease-active and disease-inactive periodontal sites. Thus, more sensitive and accurate "measurable biological indicators" of periodontal diseases are needed in order to place diagnosis (e.g., the presence or stage) and management of the disease on a more rational less empirical basis. Contemporary "omics" technologies may help unlock the path to this quest. High throughput nucleic acid sequencing technologies have enabled us to examine the taxonomic distribution of microbial communities in oral health and disease, whereas proteomic technologies allowed us to decipher the molecular state of the host in disease, as well as the interactive cross-talk of the host with the microbiome. The newly established field of metaproteomics has enabled the identification of the repertoire of proteins that oral microorganisms use to compete or co-operate with each other. Vast such data is derived from oral biological fluids, including gingival crevicular fluid and saliva, which is progressively completed and catalogued as the analytical technologies and bioinformatics tools progressively advance. This chapter covers the current "omics"-derived knowledge on the microbiome, the host and their "interactome" with regard to periodontal diseases, and addresses challenges and opportunities ahead.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is caused by bacteria in dental biofilms. To eliminate the bacteria, immune system cells release substances that inflame and damage the gums, periodontal ligament, or alveolar bone, leading to swollen bleeding gums, which is a sign of gingivitis. Damage from periodontal disease can cause teeth to loosen also. Studies have demonstrated the proteomic approach to be a promising tool for the discovery and identification of biochemical markers of periodontal diseases. Recently, many studies have applied expression proteomics to identify proteins whose expression levels are altered by disease. As a fluid lying in close proximity to the periodontal tissue, the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) is the principal target in the search for periodontal disease biomarkers because its protein composition may reflect the disease pathophysiology. Biochemical marker analysis of GCF is effective for objective diagnosis in the early and advanced stages of periodontal disease. Periodontal diseases are also promising targets for proteomics, and several groups, including ours, have applied proteomics in the search for GCF biomarkers of periodontal diseases. This search is of continuing interest in the field of experimental and clinical periodontal disease research. In this article, we summarize the current situation of proteomic technologies to discover and identify GCF biomarkers for periodontal diseases.

Abstract
Background/purpose It is well-known that diverse types of blood proteins contribute to healing process via different mechanisms. Presence and potential involvements of blood-derived abundant proteins in the platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to its regenerative capacity have not been sufficiently emphasized in the literature. The aim of this paper was to analyze the abundant proteome content of PRF and summarize previously reported effects of identified proteins on wound healing via a literature review. Materials and methods The PRF samples obtained from non-smoking, systemically healthy volunteers were subjected to 2D gel electrophoresis after extracting the proteins from fibrin matrices. All matching spots were excised from the gels and identified by MALDI TOF/TOF MS/MS analysis. A literature review was conducted to reveal possible contributions of identified proteins to wound healing. Results Totally, thirty-five blood proteins were commonly identified among all studied samples. These proteins included serine protease inhibitors, such as alpha-1-antitrypsin, alpha-1-antichymotrypsin, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, inter-alpha-trypsin-inhibitor, protease C1 inhibitor, and complement proteins. In addition, abundant presence of immunoglobulin G was observed. The abundance of albumin, haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin vitronectin, fetuin-A, ficolin-3 and transthyretin was also detected. Conclusion The results of this study indicated that PRF abundantly contains blood-origin actors which were previously reported for their direct contribution to wound healing. Further studies exploring the protein content of PRF are needed to reveal its undisclosed potential roles in the healing process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reactive oxygen species contribute to periodontal tissue homeostasis under control of anti-oxidative responses. Disruption in this balance induces severe inflammation and extended tissue degradation. PURPOSE Aim of this study was to identify the expression levels of nuclear factor, erythroid 2 like 2 (NFE2L2/NRF2), Parkinsonism associated deglycase (PARK7/DJ-1), kelch-like ECH associated protein 1 (KEAP1), and 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in peri-implant mucosal tissues affected by peri-implantitis, and to compare the levels to those of periodontally diseased and healthy tissue samples. METHODS Tissue biopsies were collected from systemically healthy, non-smoking 12 peri-implantitis patients, 13 periodontitis patients, and 13 periodontally healthy controls. Expression levels of NFE2L2/NRF2, PARK7/DJ-1, KEAP1, and 8-OHdG in tissue samples were analyzed immunohistochemically. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey's HSD test. RESULTS Inflammatory cell infiltration in the connective tissue and loss of architecture in the spinous layer of the epithelium were prominent in peri-implantitis. Proportions of 8-OHdG and PARK7/DJ-1 expressing cells were elevated in both peri-implantitis (P = .025 for 8-OHdG and P = .014 for PARK7/DJ-1) and periodontitis (P = .038 for 8-OHdG and P = .012 for PARK7/DJ-1) groups in comparison with controls. Staining intensities of 8-OHdG and PARK7/DJ-1 were higher in the periodontitis and peri-implantitis groups than in the control (P < .01) groups. There was no difference in the expression levels of NFE2L2/NRF2 between the groups. KEAP1 was not observed in any tissue sample. CONCLUSIONS Peri-implantitis is characterized by severe inflammation and architectural changes in the epithelium and connective tissue. The expressions of 8-OHdG and PARK7/DJ-1 are elevated in both peri-implantitis and periodontitis.

Abstract
Galectins are small unglycosylated soluble lectins distributed both inside and outside the cells. They share a conserved domain for the recognition of carbohydrates (CRD). Although galectins have a common affinity for β-galatosides, they exhibit different binding preferences for complex glycans. First described twenty years ago, galectin-7 is a prototypic galectin, with a single CRD, able to form divalent homodimers. This lectin, which is mainly expressed in stratified epithelia, has been described in epithelial tissues as being involved in apoptotic responses, in proliferation and differentiation but also in cell adhesion and migration. Most members of the galectins family have been associated with cancer biology. One of the main functions of galectins in cancer is their immunomodulating potential and anti-angiogenic activity. Indeed, galectin-1 and -3, are already targeted in clinical trials. Another relevant function of galectins in tumour progression is their ability to regulate cell migration and cell adhesion. Among these galectins, galectin-7 is abnormally expressed in various cancers, most prominently in carcinomas, and is involved in cancer progression and metastasis but its precise functions in tumour biology remain poorly understood. In this issue, we will focus on the physiological functions of galectin-7 in epithelia and present the alterations of galectin-7 expression in carcinomas with the aim to describe its possible functions in tumour progression.
