One evasion mechanism is manifest by the surface layer (S-layer), a paracrystalline protein structure composed of S-layer proteins (SLPs). The S-layer, possessed by 2 <i>Campylobacter</i> species (<i>C. fetus</i> and <i>C. rectus</i>), is external to the bacterial outer membrane and can have multiple functions in immune avoidance. <i>C. fetus</i> is a pathogen of ungulates and immunocompromised humans, in whom it causes disseminated bloodstream disease. In <i>C. fetus</i>, the S-layer is required for dissemination and is involved in 2 mechanisms of evasion. First, the S-layer confers resistance to complementmediated killing in non-immune serum by preventing the binding of complement factor C3b to the <i>C. fetus</i> cell surface. S-layer expressing <i>C. fetus</i> strains remain susceptible to complementindependent killing, utilizing opsonic antibodies directed against the S-layer. However, <i>C. fetus</i> has also evolved a mechanism for avoiding antibody-mediated killing by high-frequency antigenic variation of SLPs. Antigenic variation is accomplished by complex DNA inversion events involving a family of multiple SLPencoding genes and a single SLP promoter. Inversion events result in the expression of antigenically variant S-layers, which require distinct antibody responses for killing. <i>C. rectus</i> is implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease and also possesses an S-layer that appears to be involved in evading the human system. Although studied less extensively than its <i>C. fetus</i> counterpart, the <i>C. rectus</i> S-layer appears to confer resistance to complement-mediated killing and to cause the down-regulation of proinflammatory cytokines. <i>Ann Periodontol 2002;7:43-53.</i></p>","PeriodicalId":79473,"journal":{"name":"Annals of periodontology","volume":"7 1","pages":"43-53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1902/annals.2002.7.1.43","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25185531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When viewing periodontal disease as an exposure, investigators must consider the clinical, microbiological, and inflammatory components of periodontitis that potentially convey risk for the systemic outcome of interest, which may or may not be the same as those associated with the assessments used to define tooth-based disease. Another important consideration is the temporal relationship between the exposure and the outcome of interest.</p><p><b>Methods:</b> To explore which definitions of periodontal disease or clustering of clinical signs are important with regards to systemic exposure to inflammatory stress, we examined the relationship between clinical periodontal disease measures and 2 systemic inflammatory markers of increased risk for cardiovascular disease: serum soluble intercellular adhesion molecule (sICAM), which is a measure of vascular stress and serum C-reactive protein (CRP), which is a measure of hepatic acute-phase response.

This paper addresses the role that the analysis of genome-wide data might play in helping to understand the molecular determinants of periodontal risk. Very few human diseases are not polygenic, in that an individual's susceptibility depends on his or her constitution at many genetic loci, each of which may have a small effect. Not only do these loci interact, but also their actions and interactions depend on nongenetic factors. Much of the statistical machinery to handle this complexity was developed in the plant and animal breeding context, where crosses between inbred lines selected for trait differences could be conducted. Human polygenic studies began with studies on large pedigrees, but have expanded to include case-control analyses of random samples of individuals who differ in disease status, and studies of marker transmissions within nuclear families. In the area of characterizing the genetic architecture of complex traits, the relatively new field of bioinformatics is distinguished from the more mature fields of statistical genetics or genetic epidemiology by its focus on genome-wide data. The very dense sets of genetic markers now available, particularly those at single nucleotide positions (SNPs), have meant that it is possible to seek linkages or associations between chromosomal position and disease from the whole genome in a single study. Apart from the obvious problems of scale, there are real issues involved with multiple testing and recognizing interactions. Current thinking tends to focus on relatively conserved “haplotype blocks” instead of single genetic markers, although there is no consensus on the utility of this emphasis. <i>Ann Periodontol 2002;7:1-7.</i></p>","PeriodicalId":79473,"journal":{"name":"Annals of periodontology","volume":"7 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1902/annals.2002.7.1.1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25186093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A handful of recent studies using culture-independent molecular methods providing 16S rRNA sequences for both cultivable and not yet cultivated species of human periodontal bacteria demonstrated a high bacterial diversity in the oral cavity.

However, the currently recognized periodontal pathogens are commonly recovered from periodontally healthy children, and their carrier rate in adults is substantial.

Subtractive DNA cloning is one of the most efficient and comprehensive methods available for identifying eukaryotic genes regulated under specific physiological conditions, including inflammation and host response. Here we explore the utility of subtractive DNA cloning and describe suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH), a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based DNA subtraction method that has been developed and evolved in our labs over several years. The SSH method possesses a number of advantages as compared to other subtractive cloning techniques, making it one of the most adventitious methods for cloning differentially expressed genes. Besides isolation of differentially expressed eukaryotic mRNAs, subtractive DNA cloning can be used to identify genes that are differentially expressed between diverse bacterial species. These genes can be of great interest, as some may encode strain-specific traits such as drug resistance, or bacterial surface proteins involved in determining the virulence of a particular strain. Other genes may be useful as markers for epidemiological or evolutionary studies. To demonstrate the potential of the SSH technique, we describe here the comprehensive characterization of 2 SSH subtracted libraries constructed in our laboratories. One library was created using eukaryotic cDNA subtraction and is specific for mRNAs up-regulated in CD25 positive cells from mouse lymph nodes as compared to CD25 negative cells. The second subtracted library is specific for a methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> bacterial strain, but not in a methicillin-sensitive strain. The bacterial genomes of these 2 strains have been completely sequenced and this second library provides an excellent reference for testing the ability of SSH to recover all strain-specific gene content. The analysis of these 2 subtracted libraries serves as the basis for a discussion of the strength and limitations of the SSH technique. We will also compare and contrast subtractive DNA cloning to other current technologies used to isolate differentially expressed genes. <i>Ann Periodontol 2002;7:17-28.</i></p>","PeriodicalId":79473,"journal":{"name":"Annals of periodontology","volume":"7 1","pages":"17-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1902/annals.2002.7.1.17","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25186097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
