Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontal disease is a major health problem that results in tooth loss and thus affects oral health, which affects quality of life. In particular, schizophrenic patients are at higher risk for periodontal disease due to several factors, including the effect of antipsychotic medications received by those patients. Accordingly, the aim of the present cohort retrospective study is to explore the effect of antipsychotics on periodontal health and the possible effect of antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia as a risk factor for periodontal disease progression in schizophrenic patients. METHODS AND OUTCOMES The study population consisted of three groups: Group A (n = 21): schizophrenic patients that have been taking "prolactin-inducing" antipsychotics for at least 1 year; Group B (n = 21): schizophrenic patients who have been taking "prolactin-sparing" antipsychotics for at least 1 year; and Group C (n = 22): newly diagnosed schizophrenic patients and/or patients who did not receive any psychiatric treatment for at least 1 year. The study groups underwent assessment of periodontal conditions in terms of pocket depth (PD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), gingival recession, tooth mobility, and bleeding on probing (BOP). Also, bone mineral density was evaluated using DEXA scans, and the serum prolactin level was measured by automated immunoassay. RESULTS Results revealed a statistically significant difference in PD, CAL, and serum prolactin levels (P ≤ 0.001, P = 0.001, and P ≤ 0.001, respectively) among the 3 study groups. For both PD and CAL measurements, group A has shown significantly higher values than both groups B and C, whereas there was no statistically significant difference between the values of groups C and B. Concerning serum prolactin levels, group A had significantly higher values than groups B and C (P ≤ 0.001 and P ≤ 0.001 respectively). There was a statistically significant difference (P ≤ 0.001) between the 3 study groups in terms of bone mineral density. Moreover, there was a statistically significant direct relation between serum prolactin level and other parameters including clinical attachment loss, pocket depth measurements and bone mineral density. CONCLUSION According to our results, it could be concluded that all antipsychotics contribute to the progression of periodontal disease, with a higher risk for prolactin-inducing antipsychotics. However, further long term, large sampled, interventional and controlled studies are required to reach definitive guidelines to allow clinicians properly manage this group of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Redondovirus (ReDoV) is a DNA virus present in the respiratory tract of many healthy individuals. Since SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, also primarily infects the same site, we evaluated whether ReDoV was present at increased frequency in patients with COVID-19 and influenced infection parameters. METHODS Saliva samples were collected weekly from 59 individuals with COVID-19 and from 132 controls. ReDoV was detected by polymerase chain reaction and the genotypes were identified by metagenomics. Torque Teno Virus (TTV) in these samples were previously reported. RESULTS ReDoV was detected in saliva more frequently from COVID-19 patients (72.9%) than from controls (50.0%) (p = 0.0015). There were no associations between ReDoV detection and either continuous or intermittent SARS-CoV-2 shedding, the duration of SARS-CoV-2 detection in saliva, patients' sex or if infection was by the B1 or Gamma strain. The two ReDoV strains, Brisavirus and Vientovirus, were present in equivalent frequencies in ReDoV-positive COVID-19 patients and controls. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that the two ReDoV strains in Brazil were similar to strains previously detected on other continents. CONCLUSION ReDoV expression in saliva is increased in males and females in Brazil with mild COVID-19 but its presence does not appear to influence properties of the SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract
The diversity of viruses identified from the various niches of the human oral cavity-from saliva to dental plaques to the surface of the tongue-has accelerated in the age of metagenomics. This rapid expansion demonstrates that our understanding of oral viral diversity is incomplete, with only a few studies utilizing passive drool collection in conjunction with metagenomic sequencing methods. For this pilot study, we obtained 14 samples from healthy staff members working at the Duke Lemur Center (Durham, NC, USA) to determine the viral diversity that can be identified in passive drool samples from humans. The complete genomes of 3 anelloviruses, 9 cressdnaviruses, 4 Caudoviricetes large bacteriophages, 29 microviruses, and 19 inoviruses were identified in this study using high-throughput sequencing and viral metagenomic workflows. The results presented here expand our understanding of the vertebrate-infecting and microbe-infecting viral diversity of the human oral virome in North Carolina (USA).

Abstract
The virome of the human oral cavity and the relationships between viruses and diseases such as periodontitis are scarcely deciphered. Redondoviruses were reported in the human oral cavity in 2019, including in periodontitis patients. Here, we aimed at detecting redondoviruses and at searching for a potential viral host in human saliva. Non-stimulated saliva was collected between December 2020 and June 2021. These samples were tested using real-time PCR regarding the presence of redondovirus and Entamoeba gingivalis DNA. Similarity searches were performed using BLAST against eukaryotic and prokaryotic sequences from GenBank. The redondovirus DNA was detected in 46% of the 28 human saliva samples. In addition, short fragments of redondovirus genomes were detected in silico within Entamoeba sequences. Finally, Entamoeba gingivalis DNA was detected in 46% of the 28 saliva samples, with a strong correlation between redondovirus DNA and E. gingivalis DNA detections, in 93% of the cases. Regarded together, these findings and previous ones strongly support the presence of redondoviruses in the human oral cavity and their association to E. gingivalis as their likely host.

Abstract
About 15% of human cancer cases are attributed to viral infections. To date, virus expression in tumor tissues has been mostly studied by aligning tumor RNA sequencing reads to databases of known viruses. To allow identification of divergent viruses and rapid characterization of the tumor virome, we develop viRNAtrap, an alignment-free pipeline to identify viral reads and assemble viral contigs. We utilize viRNAtrap, which is based on a deep learning model trained to discriminate viral RNAseq reads, to explore viral expression in cancers and apply it to 14 cancer types from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Using viRNAtrap, we uncover expression of unexpected and divergent viruses that have not previously been implicated in cancer and disclose human endogenous viruses whose expression is associated with poor overall survival. The viRNAtrap pipeline provides a way forward to study viral infections associated with different clinical conditions.

Abstract
Redondoviruses are circular Rep-encoding single-stranded DNA (CRESS) viruses of high prevalence in healthy humans. Redondovirus abundance is increased in oro-respiratory samples from individuals with periodontitis, acute illness, and severe COVID-19. We investigated potential host cells supporting redondovirus replication in oro-respiratory samples and uncovered the oral amoeba Entamoeba gingivalis as a likely host. Redondoviruses are closely related to viruses of Entamoeba and contain reduced GC nucleotide content, consistent with Entamoeba hosts. Redondovirus and E. gingivalis co-occur in metagenomic data from oral disease and healthy human cohorts. When grown in xenic cultures with feeder bacteria, E. gingivalis was robustly positive for redondovirus RNA and DNA. A DNA proximity-ligation assay (Hi-C) on xenic culture cells showed enriched cross-linking of redondovirus and Entamoeba DNA, supporting E. gingivalis as the redondovirus host. While bacteria are established hosts for bacteriophages within the human virome, this work shows that eukaryotic commensals also contribute an abundant human-associated virus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Torquetenovirus (TTV) and Redondovirus (ReDoV) are the most prevalent viruses found in the human respiratory virome in viral metagenomics studies. A large-scale epidemiological study was performed to investigate their prevalence and loads in saliva samples according to SARS-CoV-2 status. METHODS Saliva samples from 448 individuals (73% SARS-CoV-2 negative and 27% SARS-CoV-2 positive) aged 23-88 years were tested. SARS-CoV-2 and TTV were determined in saliva by specific qualitative and quantitative real-time PCRs, respectively. A sub-cohort of 377 subjects was additionally tested for the presence and load of ReDoV in saliva, and a different sub-cohort of 120 subjects for which paired saliva and plasma samples were available was tested for TTV and ReDoV viremia at the same timepoints as saliva. RESULTS TTV in saliva was 72% prevalent in the entire cohort, at a mean DNA load of 4.6 log copies/mL, with no difference regardless of SARS-CoV-2 status. ReDoV was found in saliva from 61% of the entire cohort and was more prevalent in the SARS-CoV-2-negative subgroup (65% vs. 52%, respectively). In saliva, the total mean load of ReDoV was very similar to the one of TTV, with a value of 4.4 log copies/mL. The mean viral loads in subjects infected with a single virus, namely, those infected with TTV or ReDoV alone, was lower than in dually infected samples, and Tukey's multiple-comparison test showed that ReDoV single-infected samples resulted in the only true outlier (p = 0.004). Differently from TTV, ReDoV was not detected in any blood samples. CONCLUSIONS This study establishes the prevalence and mean value of TTV and ReDoV in saliva samples and demonstrates the existence of differences between these two components of the human virome.

Abstract
Anelloviridae and Redondoviridae are virus families with small, circular, single-stranded DNA genomes that are common components of the human virome. Despite their small genome size of less than 5000 bases, they are remarkably successful - anelloviruses colonize over 90% of adult humans, while the recently discovered redondoviruses have been found at up to 80% prevalence in some populations. Anelloviruses are present in blood and many organs, while redondoviruses are found mainly in the ororespiratory tract. Despite their high prevalence, little is known about their biology or pathogenic potential. In this review, we discuss anelloviruses and redondoviruses and explore their enigmatic roles in human health and disease.

Abstract
Periodontitis, a microbiome-driven inflammatory disease of the tooth-attachment apparatus, is epidemiologically linked with other disorders, including cardio-metabolic, cognitive neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases, respiratory infections, and certain cancers. These associations may, in part, be causal, as suggested by interventional studies showing that local treatment of periodontitis reduces systemic inflammation and surrogate markers of comorbid diseases. The potential cause-and-effect connection between periodontitis and comorbidities is corroborated by studies in preclinical models of disease, which additionally provided mechanistic insights into these associations. This overview discusses recent advances in our understanding of the periodontitis-systemic disease connection, which may potentially lead to innovative therapeutic options to reduce the risk of periodontitis-linked comorbidities.

Abstract
Redondoviridae is a recently identified family of DNA viruses associated with periodontitis. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are novel endogenous, conserved noncoding RNAs contributing to the virus-related immune-inflammatory response. The present study aimed to analyze the expression profiles of circRNAs in the gingival tissues of periodontitis patients with and without Redondoviridae-infection and healthy controls using high-throughput RNA sequencing combined with experimental validation. Out of 17819 circRNAs, 175 were dysregulated. Functional annotation and enrichment analysis of the differential circRNA host genes demonstrated potential alterations in the molecular and cellular components and metabolism in individuals suffering from periodontitis with Redondoviridae infection. Moreover, "axon guidance", "lysine biosynthesis", and "vascular endothelial growth factor signaling pathways" were significantly enriched in Redondoviridae-infected gingivitis tissues. Furthermore, the key circRNAs (circCOL1A1, circAASS, circPTK2, circATP2B4, circDOCK1, circTTBK2, and circMCTP2) associated with the pathobiology of Redondoviridae-related periodontitis were identified by constructing circRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks. Bioinformatics analyses demonstrated that abnormally expressed circRNAs might contribute to the etiopathogenesis and development of Redondoviridae-related periodontitis. The present study's findings have enhanced the current understanding ofthe Redondoviridae-related periodontitis mechanism and provide insights into further applications for diagnostic markers and therapeutic uses.
