In addition, we employed single-sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA) to examine the differences in immune cell infiltration between normal tissues and those affected by TB. The effectiveness of the potential biomarkers was evaluated through Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves and their expression patterns. We also conducted single-gene enrichment analysis to explore the biological functions and pathway activities linked to the characteristic genes. Finally, we constructed a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network to elucidate the potential regulatory mechanisms governing these genes. Through the screening of hub genes and differentially expressed genes from the GTRGs, we identified two potential biomarkers: B4GALT5 and KCNJ2. Evaluation results indicated that these characteristic genes displayed strong diagnostic performance in both the training and validation cohorts. Moreover, single-gene enrichment analysis revealed that these genes were primarily enriched in apoptosis pathways closely associated with TB treatment. Additionally, the construction of the mRNA-miRNA-lncRNA network identified 82 miRNAs and 65 lncRNAs.

The objective of this in vitro study was to determine the anti-virulence effect of nano-quercetin (N-QT)-mediated PDT on the expression of a gene associated with biofilm formation of A. actinomycetemcomitans. After synthesis and characterization of N-QT by transmission electron microscopes (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential analysis, and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, the effects of different concentrations of N-QT and energy densities of diode laser alone on cell viability of A. actinomycetemcomitans were evaluated. A. actinomycetemcomitans was then treated by sub-lethal doses of diode laser emitting light in the presence of sub-lethal doses of N-QT. Ultimately, the sub-lethal dose of PDT was used to investigate the metabolic activity of A. actinomycetemcomitans, the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and changes in rcpA, qseB, and qseC genes expression using the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) method. According to the results, TEM, DLS, zeta potential, and FTIR confirmed the synthesis of N-QT. PDT with concentrations of 16 to 512 µg/mL of N-QT alone and irradiation for 6 min with an energy density of 154.8 J/cm<sup>2</sup> alone caused a significant decrease in bacterial count (P < 0.05).

Cellulases are among the most intensively studied and best understood enzymes, and many key residues have been uncovered and interrogated with respect to their functions in catalysis and/or substrate binding. However, it remains to be explored whether additional residues, especially in many poorly characterized cellulases such as processive endoglucanases, might also be functionally important.
