牙周病(PerioD)是一种病因失调的慢性炎症性疾病。动物模型和很少的人类数据显示口腔细菌与肠道菌群失调之间存在关系。然而,牙周炎症和牙龈下菌群失调对肠道的影响尚不清楚。我们假设即使在没有已知肠道疾病的受试者中,牙周炎症及其相关的牙龈下菌群失调也会导致肠道菌群失调。我们评估并比较了患有低牙周炎症和高牙周炎症(通过牙周发炎表面积(PISA)评估)的老年受试者的粪便和牙龈下细菌(通过16SrRNA测序进行测定)。评估了PISA/龈下菌群失调和肠道菌群失调与已知产生短链脂肪酸(SCFA)的细菌之间的关联。LEfSe分析表明,在低PISA中,属于乳酸菌的物种,罗斯布里亚,并富集了反刍动物类群和玉米乳杆菌,虽然属于coprococcus的物种,梭菌,和Atobobium在高PISA中富集。回归分析表明,与肠道菌群失调指标相关的PISA主要降低了产生SCFA的细菌的丰度(Radj=-0.38,p=0.03)。龈下细菌菌群失调也与肠道SCFA产生细菌的水平降低相关(Radj=-0.58,p=0.002)。这些结果表明,牙周炎症和龈下微生物群有助于肠道细菌的变化。
Periodontal disease (PerioD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of dysbiotic etiology. Animal models and few human data showed a relationship between oral bacteria and gut dysbiosis. However, the effect of periodontal inflammation and subgingival dysbiosis on the gut is unknown. We hypothesized that periodontal inflammation and its associated subgingival dysbiosis contribute to gut dysbiosis even in subjects free of known gut disorders. We evaluated and compared elderly subjects with Low and High periodontal inflammation (assessed by Periodontal Inflamed Surface Area (
PISA)) for stool and subgingival derived bacteria (assayed by 16S rRNA sequencing). The associations between
PISA/subgingival dysbiosis and gut dysbiosis and bacteria known to produce short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) were assessed. LEfSe analysis showed that, in Low
PISA, species belonging to Lactobacillus, Roseburia, and Ruminococcus taxa and Lactobacillus zeae were enriched, while species belonging to Coprococcus, Clostridiales, and Atopobium were enriched in High
PISA. Regression analyses showed that
PISA associated with indicators of dysbiosis in the gut mainly reduced abundance of SCFA producing bacteria (Radj = -0.38, p = 0.03). Subgingival bacterial dysbiosis also associated with reduced levels of gut SCFA producing bacteria (Radj = -0.58, p = 0.002). These results suggest that periodontal inflammation and subgingival microbiota contribute to gut bacterial changes.
