() is an oral commensal bacterium that can become pathogenic and is associated with periodontitis, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and colorectal cancer (CRC). MicroRNAs are conserved, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression and are detected in microbial infections. This study aims to characterize the microRNA expression kinetics in the mandibles of C57BL/6J mice infected with for 8 and 16 weeks and to identify miRNAs as potential biomarkers using NanoString nCounter miRNA panels. Mice were divided into four groups: 8 weeks of infection, 16 weeks of infection, and their respective sham infection. -infected mice showed 100% bacterial colonization on the gingival surface, along with a significant increase in alveolar bone resorption ( < 0.0001) and intravascular dissemination to the heart, indicating its invasive potential. Out of 577 miRNAs analyzed, seven miRNAs were upregulated, and two miRNAs were downregulated in the 8 weeks of infection group. In the 16 weeks of infection group, seven miRNAs were upregulated while 13 miRNAs were downregulated. Notably, miR-205, miR-210, and miR-199a-3p were differentially expressed at 8 weeks as well as miR-28 at 16 weeks and have been previously reported in human periodontitis. The 13 miRNAs induced by (e.g., miR-361-5p) are linked to 13 multiple malignancies. In addition, miR-126-5p has been identified as a potential biomarker for patients with PD and cardiovascular disease. These results indicate that induces several PD-related miRNAs and links them to systemic comorbidities. Furthermore, this study revealed induction of 14 oncogenic miRNAs, and specifically, 12 miRNAs were linked with CRC.IMPORTANCEOur study investigated oral commensal , a critical bacterium associated with gum disease, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and enriched several tumors, including colorectal cancer (CRC). Recently, microRNAs have emerged as critical players in the interactions between host and microbes, and many host functions have been reported to be regulated by miRNAs during infection. oral infection in mice induced gum disease, disseminated to the heart, lungs, and several miRNAs. Elevated miR-361 expression was linked to multiple cancers. In addition, miR-126-5p expression has been reported as a potential biomarker in patients with periodontitis and coronary artery disease, indicating 's virulence potential. The 13 miRNAs induced by are linked to 13 multiple malignancies, including CRC. These results indicate that acts as a potent cancer-causing bacterium. This study opens new avenues for exploring 's role in gum disease and its link with cancer.
(某种细菌名称未给出)是一种口腔共生细菌,可致病,与牙周炎、不良妊娠结局和结直肠癌(CRC)有关。微小RNA是保守的非编码RNA分子,可调节基因表达,在微生物感染中可被检测到。本研究旨在表征感染该细菌8周和16周的C57BL/6J小鼠下颌骨中微小RNA的表达动力学,并使用NanoString nCounter miRNA芯片鉴定微小RNA作为潜在生物标志物。小鼠分为四组:感染8周组、感染16周组及其各自的假感染组。感染该细菌的小鼠在牙龈表面显示100%的细菌定植,同时牙槽骨吸收显著增加(P<0.0001),并向心脏发生血管内播散,表明其具有侵袭潜力。在分析的577种微小RNA中,感染8周组有7种微小RNA上调,2种微小RNA下调。在感染16周组中,7种微小RNA上调,13种微小RNA下调。值得注意的是,miR-205、miR-210和miR-199a-3p在8周时差异表达,miR-28在16周时差异表达,这些在人类牙周炎中已有报道。该细菌诱导的13种微小RNA(如miR-361-5p)与13种多种恶性肿瘤有关。此外,miR-126-5p已被确定为牙周炎和心血管疾病患者的潜在生物标志物。这些结果表明该细菌诱导了几种与牙周炎相关的微小RNA,并将它们与全身合并症联系起来。此外,本研究揭示该细菌诱导了14种致癌微小RNA,具体而言,12种微小RNA与结直肠癌有关。
重要性:我们的研究调查了口腔共生菌(该细菌名称未给出),这是一种与牙龈疾病、不良妊娠结局相关的关键细菌,并且在包括结直肠癌(CRC)在内的多种肿瘤中富集。最近,微小RNA已成为宿主与微生物相互作用中的关键参与者,并且据报道在感染期间许多宿主功能由微小RNA调节。小鼠口腔感染该细菌会诱发牙龈疾病,并扩散到心脏、肺部以及多种微小RNA。miR-361表达升高与多种癌症有关。此外,miR-126-5p的表达已被报道为牙周炎和冠状动脉疾病患者的潜在生物标志物,表明该细菌的致病潜力。该细菌诱导产生的13种微小RNA与包括结直肠癌在内的13种多种恶性肿瘤有关。这些结果表明该细菌是一种强效致癌细菌。本研究为探索该细菌在牙龈疾病中的作用及其与癌症的联系开辟了新途径。
