Salivary antimicrobial proteins associate with age‐related changes in streptococcal composition in dental plaque
Summary
Secretion of antimicrobial proteins (AMPs) and salivary antibodies can modify biofilm formation at host body surfaces. In adolescents, associations have been reported between dental caries and salivary AMPs. AMPs demonstrate direct antimicrobial effects at high concentrations, and at lower more physiological concentrations they mediate changes in host cell defenses, which may alter the local environment and indirectly shape local biofilm formation. The expression of salivary AMPs in preschool children, at an age when the oral bacteria are known to change, has not been investigated. We sought to investigate salivary...

Suppression of inflammatory responses of human gingival fibroblasts by gingipains from Porphyromonas gingivalis
In conclusion, P. gingivalis both triggers and suppresses the immune response in HGFs. Consequently, we suggest that the pathogenic effects of P. gingivalis, and especially the activity of the gingipains on the inflammatory and immune response of HGFs, are crucial in periodontitis.

The role of Porphyromonas gingivalis gingipains in platelet activation and innate immune modulation
This study shows that primary features of platelet activation, i.e. changes in intracellular free calcium and aggregation, are affected by P. gingivalis and that arg‐gingipains are of great importance for the ability of the bacterium to activate platelets. P. gingivalis induced a release of the chemokine RANTES, however, to a much lower extent compared to the TLR2/1‐agonist Pam3CSK4, which evoked a time‐dependent release of the chemokine. Interestingly, the TLR2/1‐evoked response was abolished by a following addition of viable P. gingivalis wild types and gingipain mutants, showing that both Rgp and Kgp cleave the ...
