This study investigated the effects of T. denticola virulence factors dentilisin and Msp on epithelial cells. The results showed that T. denticola disrupts the function of epithelial cells by hydrolyzing intercellular junction proteins and focal adhesion proteins, inhibiting cell migration and healing.
Chronic periodontitis is an infectious disease caused by periodontopathic bacteria in subgingival plaque. One major pathogen of this disease, Treponema denticola, has several virulence factors, including a major surface protein (Msp) and the surface protease dentilisin. The cytopathic effects of periodontopathic bacteria on epithelial cells disrupt the integrity of the barrier junction, resulting in the inflammation of periodontal tissue. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of T. denticola virulence factors dentilisin and Msp on epithelial cells. The effects of T. denticola wild-type, Msp-mutant, and dentilisinmutant strains on the contact junction in Madin-Darby canine kidney epithelial cells was evaluated based on ohmic values. Cultured oral carcinoma epithelial cells were scratched and exposed to the selected T. denticola strains and cell migration determined. Subsequent degradation of adherence proteins and proteins in the contact junctions was evaluated. Dissociation of cell contact junctions was detected in cells infected with wild-type T. denticola approximately 30 min after infection, but not in those exposed to the mutants. Inhibition of migration was observed in the wild-type and Msp-deficient mutants. The adherent proteins focal adhesion kinase, ZO-1, and paxillin were hydrolyzed by infection with the wild-type and Msp mutants. These results indicate that T. denticola disrupts the function of epithelial cells by hydrolyzing proteins at the intercellular junction and inhibiting healing of epithelial cells via hydrolyzed proteins associated with focal adhesion; Msp was also associated with these effects.
