Role and Mechanism of Fusobacterium Nucleatum in Oral Mucosal Carcinogenesis QUBIE Fangfang, JIANG Lu 2024, 40(5): 379-384.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2024.05.001 Abstract ( 135 )   PDF (1103KB) ( 137 )   Oral mucosal carcinogenesis is a serious health issue involving multiple factors in its onset and progression. In recent years, fusobacterium nucleatum (F.nucleatum), as a part of the oral microbiota, has been considered as one of the infectious agents playing a significant role in various cancers. This review aims to comprehensively explore the role and mechanisms of F.nucleatum in oral mucosal carcinogenesis. Through the analysis of clinical and molecular biology studies, we found that F.nucleatum is closely related to the occurrence and development of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Specifically, this bacterium can modulate the tumor immune microenvironment, promote cell proliferation and invasion, and activate immune checkpoints. Additionally, F.nucleatum may serve as a biomarker and therapeutic target for oral cancer. However, research in this field still faces challenges such as insufficient sample size, strong patient specificity, and the need for multidisciplinary collaboration. Future studies are needed to further reveal its mechanisms and explore its potential applications in the prevention and treatment of oral cancer. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Influence of Dendritic Cell LKB1 Signaling on Mucosal Adjuvant Effect of FimH LIU Xinyuan, LIN Yuhong, CHEN Junlan, HUANG Bingbing, LI Yuhong 2024, 40(5): 393-400.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2024.05.004 Abstract ( 71 )   PDF (2064KB) ( 38 )   Objective: To investigate the impact of liver kinase B1 (LKB1) expression in dendritic cells (DCs) in oral mucosa on the response to mucosal vaccine adjuvants. Methods: CD11ccre-GFP;LKB1fl/fl mice (conditional knockout, cKO) were used and littermate LKB1fl/fl mice were set as wild-type (WT). Firstly, 6-8-week-old cKO and WT mice (n=12 each) were selected, and flow cytometry was used to isolate DCs from mouse oral mucosa for transcriptome high-throughput sequencing. Secondly, using cKO and WT mice (n=16 each), a mouse mucosal immune model was established. Immunizations were performed with ovalbumin (OVA) via submucosal injection in the cheek after 0, 2, and 4 weeks, with or without FimH protein from S.typhimurium (FimH-ST). Serum and saliva were collected at week 3 post-immunization to detect OVA-specific IgG1 and IgG2b in serum and OVA-specific IgA in saliva by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). At week 6 post-immunization, flow cytometry was performed to detect the number and proportion of immune cells in mouse cheek mucosa and draining lymph nodes (dLN), including submandibular, cervical, and neck lymph nodes. Results: The up-regulated genes of oral mucosal dendritic cells in cKO mice were enriched in innate immune responses and B cell mediated immunity in the Gene Ontology (GO) database. The Toll-like receptor signaling pathway and mTOR signaling pathway were enriched in Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA). Compared to the WT-OVA group, the WT-OVA+FimH-ST group showed increased levels of serum OVA-specific IgG1 and IgG2b and saliva OVA-specific IgA antibodies; and the numbers and proportions of mucosal local immune B cells and plasma cells were increased. The cKO-OVA group showed higher levels of serum IgG1 and IgG2b and saliva IgA antibodies compared to the WT-OVA group, along with increased proportions of follicular helper T cells (Tfh) and B cells in dLN (P<0.05). However, there was no difference in antibody secretion levels between the cKO-OVA+FimH-ST group and the cKO-OVA group, only showing an increase in Tfh and B cells in dLN. Conclusion: LKB1 regulates innate immune responses and B cell function through DCs; FimH-ST exhibits adjuvant effects when injected submucosally in the mouse oral mucosa; the activation of oral mucosal immune responses by DCs depends on LKB1, and defective LKB1 on DCs leads to the loss of the adjuvant effect of FimH-ST.

Methods: Heat-inactivated P. gingivalis and VSMC were co-cultured, and the calcification deposition and calcium content of VSMC were detected after 21 days. Gene and protein expression of VSMC contraction markers alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and smooth muscle 22 alpha (SM22α), as well as osteogenic markers alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OC), and type I collagen A1 (Col ⅠA1) were detected. In addition, the expression of TRAF6 and Runx2 after P. gingivalis induced VSMC was detected, and its effect on Runx2 expression and calcification of VSMC and aorta was further tested by inhibiting TRAF6. Results: P. gingivalis could promote calcification deposition and increase calcium content in VSMC (P<0.05); and P. gingivalis could significantly promote the expression of osteogenic markers and inhibit the expression of VSMC contraction markers (P<0.05). Inhibition of TRAF6 could reduce the expression of Runx2, calcification deposition of VSMC and aortic wall, and the calcium content in VSMC (P<0.05). Conclusion: P. gingivalis promotes the expression of osteogenic markers in VSMC, inhibits the expression of contractile markers, and ultimately induces VSMC calcification. P. gingivalis can induce VSMC and aortic calcification through the TRAF6/Runx2 signaling axis. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The Metabolic Changes and Inhibitory Mechanism of XLS Against Candida Albicans were Studied Based on Metabolomics DAI Haoran, MA Shengli, HAN Ye, GE Wenyu, SUN Pang, ZHU Zhaochuan, GAO Yanyu 2024, 40(5): 407-412.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2024.05.006 Abstract ( 79 )   PDF (2371KB) ( 39 )   Objective: Streptococcus sanguis extract XLS is a bacteriostatic intracellular protein extracted from oral Streptococcus sanguis. To detect and analyze the metabolic changes of XLS on Candida albicans by non-targeted metabolomics, and to analyze its mechanism. Methods: The samples were prepared firstly. Experimental group: 0.5 mg/mL XLS was co-cultured with Candida albicans for 12 h; control group: pure Candida albicans was cultured for 12 h, with 6 biological replicates in each group. Two non-targeted metabolomics technologies were used to study the metabolic changes of samples. Multivariate analysis [(principal components analysis, PCA) and (partial least squares discriminant analysis, PLS-DA)] and univariate analysis (t test) were used to compare the differences. Results: PLS-DA and PCA analysis showed significant differences between two groups of samples. In this study, 160 positive ion differential metabolites were screened, of which 68 metabolites were up-regulated and 92 metabolites were down-regulated. Among the 90 negative ion differential metabolites, 52 metabolites were up-regulated and 38 metabolites were down-regulated. Through KEGG enrichment analysis, it was found that the pathways with significant pathway enrichment mainly included ascorbic acid and aldehyde acid metabolic pathways, amino acid synthesis, purine pyrimidine metabolic pathways, etc. In addition, some metabolites related to oxidative stress were also found, which were up-regulated in the experimental group compared with the control group. Conclusion: XLS has a significant effect on amino acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, purine and pyrimidine metabolism, and other processes of Candida albicans. XLS causes oxidative damage to Candida albicans cells by causing oxidative stress in Candida albicans, thereby inhibiting the growth and reproduction of Candida albicans.

Methods: Double emulsion method and electrostatic adsorption were used to prepare PPI-siRNA nanoparticles based on polyurethane (PBAE)/polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer (PLGA) co-loaded with ICG and Nrf2-iRNA. The morphology, size distribution, zeta potential, and drug loading efficiency of nanoparticles were characterized. The SCC-25 cellular uptake of ICG and the escaping lysosomal phagocytosis ability of Nrf2-siRNA were evaluated. The photothermal and photodynamic effects of PPI-siRNA nanoparticles were investigated by detecting the heating effect, expression of intracellular heat shock protein (HSP60), and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The expression levels of E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and its downstream genes GCLM and GCLC regulated by the Nrf2 were investigated to explore the assisting photodynamic effects mechanism of Nrf2-siRNA. The cytotoxic effect of PPI-siRNA nanoparticles combined with laser irradiation was evaluated by MTT assay and live/dead cell assay. Results: The PPI-siRNA nanoparticles exhibited spherical structure with regular morphology and particle size of about 180 nm. PPI-siRNA nanoparticles could efficiently deliver ICG and Nrf2-siRNA into cells, and prevent Nrf2-siRNA from being engulfing from lysosome to exert gene silence effect. PPI-siRNA nanoparticles possessed notable photothermal and photodynamic properties. Nrf2-siRNA could significantly improve the anti-tumor efficiency of phototherapy by down-regulating the expression of antioxidant proteins and genes. Conclusion: PPI-siRNA nanoparticles can effectively inhibit the in vitro growth of OSCC by combining phototherapy and gene silencing amplified photodynamic efficacy, and have a broad application prospect in the clinical treatment of OSCC.

Methods: The TCGA database was used to identify differentially expressed mRNA in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) tissues and adjacent tissues. Western blot assay detected RAPTOR expression in HOEC and OSCC cell lines. Cell migration ability was detected by the wound healing experiment. Transwell assay and EdU were used to detect the cell invasion and cell proliferation ability. Bioinformatics websites were used to predict microRNA binding to RAPTOR. Functional tests were conducted to determine if miR-485-5p could impact cell migration, invasion, and proliferation by targeting RAPTOR. Results: RAPTOR expression was higher in HNSCC tissues compared to adjacent tissues. Wound healing, Transwell, and EdU experiments showed that RAPTOR promoted the migration, invasion, and proliferation of OSCC cells. Up-regulation of miR-485-5p can reverse the promoting effect of RAPTOR on the migration, invasion, and proliferation of CAL27 cells. Conclusion: miR-485-5p inhibits OSCC cell migration, invasion, and proliferation by targeting RAPTOR. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Methods: The 3D data of the clinical crowns of four maxillary deciduous incisor teeth from a children's deciduous teeth teaching model were obtained using a dentition model scanner. Reverse engineering software Geomagic Wrap 2021 was utilized, with reference to Professor Wang Huiyun's measurement and statistical data on Chinese children's deciduous teeth. Based on the scanned 3D data of maxillary deciduous incisors, adjustments were made to size ratios and 3D shapes. A standard-sized digital model for pre-coronation of deciduous incisors was constructed, incorporating design parameters with incisal end thickness of 0.8mm and lip/palatine surface thicknesses of 0.3mm. Taking into account the size ratio relationship observed in commonly used transparent resin crowns for maxillary incisors in pediatric stomatology departments, digital models for preformed crowns were designed with three types and four positions (51, 52, 61, and 62). Temporary preformed resin crowns were then fabricated using five-axis CNC cutting technology and subjected to trial evaluations in clinical cases. Results: A digital design and fabrication method for preformed resin crowns in maxillary deciduous incisors across four tooth positions was successfully developed. Initial clinical application demonstrated that these preformed resin crowns met the appearance, coloration, and strength requirements necessary for dental pediatrics practice according to evaluations conducted by senior pediatric experts. Conclusion: The digitally designed and fabricated preformed resin crowns presented in this study exhibit superior anatomical shape restoration compared to traditional transparent resin crown fillings while also achieving better aesthetic outcomes.

Methods: Filefish skin of marine origin was selected, and the decellularized matrix of filefish skin (filefish skin decellularized matrix,FS-ECM) was prepared by a combined physicochemical method. The structural features of FS-ECM were preliminarily explored by HE staining, scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and water contact angle. Then, the cross-linking modification of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) was utilized (EGCG crosslinked filefish skin decellularized matrix,E-FS-ECM) to improve the material's anti-enzymatic and mechanical properties. The EGCG-collagen in vitro biomimetic mineralization template (EGCG crosslinked biomimetic mineralized filefish skin decellularized matrix, EB-FS-ECM) was constructed through the modification of EGCG, and the collagen biomimetic mineralization strategy was used to further improve the various properties. The differences in the physicochemical properties of the materials before and after modification were evaluated using SEM, mapping, water contact angle, elastic modulus, thermogravimetric analysis, and in vitro degradation. Results: There was no significant difference between the surface structural properties of FS-ECM at different sites (P>0.05), and FS-ECM contained a certain amount of hydroxyapatite crystals on the outer surface. After the modification by EGCG cross-linking and construction of biomimetic mineralization templates, the hydrophilicity, mechanical strength, thermal stability, and resistance to enzymatic degradation of E-FS-ECM and EB-FS-ECM were significantly higher than those of FS-ECM (P<0.05). Conclusion: EGCG cross-linking and biomimetic mineralization significantly improved the hydrophilicity, thermal stability, and mechanical strength, and slowed down the degradation rate of FS-ECM. Decellularized matrix of filefish skin through modification is expected to be an suitable material for GBR membranes. References | Related Articles | Metrics
