Importance of biofilm formation and dipeptidyl peptidase IV for the pathogenicity of clinicalPorphyromonas gingivalisisolates

Abstract: The ability of Porphyromonas gingivalis to cause adult periodontitis is determined by its arsenal of virulence factors. Here, we investigated the importance of biofilm formation and bacterial dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) for the pathogenicity of clinical P. gingivalis isolates. In our study, the isolates with biofilm-forming capacity also showed high DPPIV activity in vitro. Moreover, DPPIV activity increased in P. gingivalis biofilms compared to planktonic cells. In a murine subcutaneous abscess model, the… Show more

“…The results of the screening show an overlap between the pharmacophores of pgDPP4 and DPP9 with respect to the azide and the P2 component. The best P2 residues are large, often with a nitrogen atom on a carbon spacer and substituted with bulky or aromatic groups (16,18 in Table 2 and 69, 72, 73 in Table S2). The most likely explanation is that they bind specifically in the S2-extensive pocket which is deeper than in hDPP4 and has a different charge distribution (Figure 3).…”

“…Transfection with recombinant pgDPP4 restored virulence, while a catalytically impaired DPP4 only partially restored the wild type phenotype [15]. Moreover, clinical isolates of P. gingivalis strains with high DPP4 expression had a higher capacity for biofilm formation and were more infective in a mouse abscess model [16]. pgDPP4 belongs to the same family of proteases (prolyl oligopeptidase family, S9 clanB, MEROPS database) as human DPP4 (hDPP4), with which it shares 32% amino acid sequence identity.…”

“…As a result of a complex well‐organized structure, bacteria embedded in biofilm is 1000 times more resistant to antibiotic therapy compared to planktonic bacteria . Additionally, studies have shown that biofilm formation may enhance virulence of certain pathogenic bacteria like P. gingivais , S. mitis, F. nucleatum, A. viscosus, A. actinomycetemcomitans, and V. parvula …”

“…P. gingivalis DPP4 also hydrolyzes biologically active peptides that include substance P, fibrin inhibitory peptide, and β-casomorphin [19], and binds to fibronectin, thus it mediates bacterial adhesion to host cells [43]. A recent study also demonstrated that DPP4 was closely associated with biofilm formation in a murine subcutaneous abscess model [44].…”

“…In addition, DPP4 is involved in biofilm formation by P. gingivalis , which is closely related to bacterial virulence [44]. Hence, it is reasonable to postulate that other DPPs also contribute to biofilm formation and mixed-species colonization in subgingival plaque.…”
