Opis:
Synthetic inhibitors of benzamidine type have been found to have inhibiting effects on arginine specific cysteine proteinases of P. gingivalis. The purpose of our study was to assess the effects of these inhibitors on the virulence properties of two P. gingivalis strains, the reference strain ATCC 33277 and JH16-1, a clinical isolate obtained from a patient with severe periodontitis. The inhibitors tested were pentamidine, benzamidine, three bis-benzamidine derivatives with a pentamidine-related structure, one bis-benzamidine derivative with another structure, and one arginine derivative as a negative control, each in the concentrations of 2 μM and 20 μM. As virulence criteria the following parameters were determined : arginine-specific amidolytic activity, growth inhibition, hemagglutination of sheep erythrocytes, adherence to KB cells and immuno-phagocytosis including intracellular killing. Pentamidine and the bis-benzamidine derivatives with pentamidine-related structure showed the most remarkable effects on reduction of amidolytic activity by 35%, growth inhibition and reduced hemagglutination. Except for the arginine derivative all other inhibitors tested enhanced the phagocytosis capacities of granulocytes. No clear influence of the inhibitors on adherence of P. gingivalis to KB cells was seen. Although in vitro effects of the synthetic inhibitors of cysteine proteinases on virulence of P. gingivalis were observed further in vitro tests concerning immunomodulatory effects should be done before these substances are used for therapy in clinically controlled studies.

Opis:
Infection with the Gram-negative pathogen Prevotella intermedia gives rise to periodontitis and a growing number of studies implies an association of P. intermedia with rheumatoid arthritis. The serine protease Factor I (FI) is the central inhibitor of complement degrading complement components C3b and C4b in the presence of cofactors such as C4b-binding protein (C4BP) and Factor H (FH). Yet, the significance of complement inhibitor acquisition in P. intermedia infection and FI binding by Gram-negative pathogens has not been addressed. Here we show that P. intermedia isolates bound purified FI as well as FI directly from heat-inactivated human serum. FI bound to bacteria retained its serine protease activity as shown in degradation experiments with ^{125}I-labeled C4b. Since FI requires cofactors for its activity we also investigated the binding of purified cofactors C4BP and FH and found acquisition of both proteins, which retained their activity in FI mediated degradation of C3b and C4b. We propose that FI binding by P. intermedia represents a new mechanism contributing to complement evasion by a Gram-negative bacterial pathogen associated with chronic diseases.

Opis:
Introduction: Modifying bacterial virulence could be an interesting alternative to antibiotics. The study aimed to examine the effects of an inhibitor targeting bacterial glutaminyl cyclase [which is selectively present in Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Tannerella forsythia (Tf), and Prevotella intermedia (Pi)] on various multispecies biofilms. Methods: Two multi-species biofilms - one containing four species (including Tf) and another with 12 species (including Tf, Pg, and Pi) - were cultured in the presence of 31.25-500 µM of a [4,5-c]pyridine-based inhibitor. After 24 h, bacterial counts, biofilm biomass, metabolic activity, and, when Pg was included, Arg-gingipain activity were measured. Additionally, the biofilms were exposed to monocytic cells; here, the release of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-10 was analyzed. The data were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a post-hoc comparison performed using the Bonferroni correction. Results and Discussion: In all biofilms, total bacterial counts and those of Pg and Tf remained unaffected by the inhibitor. In the 12-species biofilm, both biomass and total metabolic activity decreased at high inhibitor concentrations (500 µM to 75.2 ± 6.5% and 87.2 ± 5.8%, respectively; each p < 0.001). The arginine-specific amidolytic activities of Rgp declined dose-dependently, down to 60.4 ± 10.2% (p < 0.001) at 500 µM of the inhibitor. Consequently, Pg colonies lost pigmentation as inhibitor concentrations increased. The inhibitor also reduced IL-1β release from monocytic cells stimulated by the 12-species biofilm. The studied [4,5-c]pyridine-based inhibitor is able to modify virulence of a multispecies biofilm. It might have the potential to be a promising approach in periodontal prevention and therapy.
