Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate the subgingival microbiome in patients with grade C molar-incisor pattern periodontitis (C-MIP) affecting the primary or permanent dentitions. METHODS DNA was isolated from subgingival biofilm samples from diseased and healthy sites from 45 C-MIP patients and subjected to phylogenetic microarray analysis. C-MIP sites were compared between children affected in the primary to those affected in the permanent dentitions. Within-subject differences between C-MIP-affected sites and dentition-matched healthy sites were also evaluated. RESULTS C-MIP sites of subjects affected in the primary dentition showed partially overlapping but distinct microbial communities from C-MIP permanent dentition sites (p < 0.05). Differences were due to increased levels in primary C-MIP sites of certain species of the genera Capnocytophaga and Leptotrichia, while C-MIP permanent dentition sites showed higher prevalence of Filifactor alocis. Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) was among species seen in high prevalence and levels in both primary and permanent C-MIP sites. Moreover, both permanent and primary C-MIP sites showed distinct microbial communities when compared to dentition-matched healthy sites in the same subject (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Primary and permanent teeth with C-MIP showed a dysbiotic microbiome, with children affected in the primary dentition showing a distinct profile from those affected in the permanent dentition. However, Aa was enriched in both primary and permanent diseased sites, confirming that this microorganism is implicated in C-MIP in both dentitions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1) mediates pulpitis via regulating interleukin (IL)-1β. microRNA (miR)-126 was reported to regulate the VCAM-1 under many different pathophysiological circumstances. We investigated variations of miR-126 and VCAM-1 in inflamed patient pulp tissues and determined potential roles of miR-126 in pulpitis using human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) in vitro. METHODS We quantitatively measured the transcripts of miR-126 and VCAM-1 in inflamed human pulp tissues using qRT-PCR and compared with those from healthy human pulp tissues. In addition, we transfected miR-126 in hDPCs using plasmid DNA (pDNA)-encoding miR-126 delivered by polyethylenimine (PEI) nanoparticles. RESULTS The irreversible pulpitis significantly reduced miR-126 and increased the transcript of VCAM-1 in pulp tissues (p < 0.05). pDNA-encoding miR-126 delivered PEI nanoparticles and effectively upregulated the expression of miR-126 in hDPCs (p < 0.05). The overexpression of miR-126 could effectively suppress the transcripts and protein levels of VCAM-1 and IL-1β induced by Pg-LPS at 100ng/mL in DPCs (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS miR-126 is involved in pulpitis and downregulated the VCAM-1 and IL-1β in DPCs. miR-126 may be a potential target to attenuate the inflammation of pulpitis.
