Porphyromonas gingivalis Outer Membrane Vesicles Increase Vascular Permeability.

Abstract：

:Periodontitis is increasingly associated with increased risk of cardiovascular and other systemic diseases. The Gram-negative anaerobe, Porphyromonas gingivalis, is a key periodontal pathogen, and several lines of evidence link the presence of this bacterium in the circulation with vascular disease. The outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) produced by P. gingivalis have been shown to play a role in periodontitis, although, to date, little is known about their interaction with the vasculature; therefore, this study assessed the effects of P. gingivalis OMVs on the endothelium. OMVs were isolated from wild-type strain W83 and the gingipain-deficient strain ΔK/R-ab. Immunoblotting along with cryo-EM showed gingipain expression in W83 but not ΔK/R-ab-derived OMVs, where gingipains were localized to the cell wall surface. Confluent endothelial cell monolayers infected with either W83 or W83-derived OMV displayed significantly increased dextran permeability over those infected with ΔK/R-ab or its OMV. Moreover, W83-derived OMVs induced significantly more vascular disease in a zebrafish larvae systemic infection model over 72 h compared to those injected with gingipain-deficient OMVs or controls. In line with these data, human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1) displayed an OMV-associated, gingipain-dependent decrease in cell surface levels of the intercellular adhesion molecule PECAM-1 (CD31) when examined by flow cytometry. These data show, for the first time, that OMVs from P. gingivalis mediate increased vascular permeability, leading to a diseased phenotype both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, these data strongly implicate gingipains present on the OMV surface in mediating these vascular events, most likely via a mechanism that involves proteolytic cleavage of endothelial cell-cell adhesins such as PECAM-1. These data provide important evidence for the role of bacterial-derived OMVs in mediating systemic disease.
