Immune Responses Regulated by Key Periodontal Bacteria in Germ-Free Mice

The immune dysregulation induced by periodontal bacteria has important roles in the development of periodontitis. However, the role of key periodontal bacteria in local and systemic immunity has not been comprehensively studied. Herein, to explore immunoregulation maps of key periodontal bacteria, a...

description The immune dysregulation induced by periodontal bacteria has important roles in the development of periodontitis. However, the role of key periodontal bacteria in local and systemic immunity has not been comprehensively studied. Herein, to explore immunoregulation maps of key periodontal bacteria, a mono-colonized germ-free mice model with <i>P. gingivalis</i>, <i>F. nucleatum</i>, and <i>T. denticola</i> for two weeks was designed in this study. The alveolar bone loss was determined by micro-CT. A total of 14 types of innate and adaptive immune cells of the gingiva, spleen, and colon were detected by multi-color flow cytometry. <i>P. gingivalis</i> induced the strongest innate immune response in gingiva and mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs) changed most significantly, compared to <i>F. nucleatum</i> and <i>T. denticola</i>. Immune dysregulation of the colon was widely induced by <i>F. nucleatum</i>. <i>T. denticola</i> mainly induced immune disorder in spleen. ILC3s, Tregs, CD11B+ dendritic cells s, MNPs, macrophages, and plasmacytoid dendritic cells were the main types in response to key periodontal bacteria. However, the alveolar bone loss was not induced by key periodontal bacteria. In conclusion, the overall immunoregulation of monomicrobial stimuli to decipher the complexities of periodontitis was provided in this study. <i>P. gingivalis</i>, <i>F. nucleatum</i>, and <i>T. denticola</i> have different effects on local and systemic immunity in gingiva, colon, and spleen of germ-free mice.
