Downregulation of miRNA‐26 in Chronic Periodontitis Interferes with Innate Immune Responses and Cell Migration by Targeting Phospholipase C Beta 1 (PLCB1)

Abstract

Aim

To evaluate the potential role of miR-26 family members in periodontal pathogenesis by assessing innate immune responses to periopathic bacteria and regulation of cytoskeletal organization.

Methods

Expression of miR-26a-5p and miR-26b-5p was quantified in gingival biopsies derived from healthy and periodontally diseased subjects before and after non-surgical (scaling and root planing) therapy by RT-qPCR. Global pathway analysis and luciferase assays were performed for target identification and validation. Cytokine expression was assessed in miR-26a-5p transfected human oral keratinocytes upon stimulation with either live Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Aggregatibacter actinomycetocomitans (Aa) or Pg LPS. Wound closure assays were performed in cells transfected with miR-26a-5p, while the impact on cytoskeletal organization was assessed by F-actin staining.

Results

miR-26a-5p and miR-26b-5p are downregulated in diseased gingiva and restored 4-6 weeks post-therapy to levels comparable with healthy subjects. Target validation assays identified phospholipase c beta 1 (PLCB1) as a bona-fide novel target exhibiting antagonistic expression pattern in disease and post-therapy cohorts. miR-26a-5p transfected cells secreted higher levels of cytokine/chemokines upon stimulation with periopathogens and demonstrated impaired cell migration and cytoskeletal rearrangement.

Conclusion

Downregulated miR-26a-5p levels in periodontal inflammation may interfere with key cellular functions that may have significant implications for host defense and wound healing.
