Abstract

Background:Periodontitis (PD) is a multifactorial inflammatory disease that is closely associated with periodontopathic bacteria. Numerous studies have demonstrated oxidative stress (OS) contributes to inflammation and is a prime factor in the development of PD. It is imperative to explore the function of newly discovered hub genes associated with OS in the advancement of PD, thereby identifying potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

Objectives:The goal of the current study was to identify the oxidative-stress-related genes (OSRGs) associated with periodontitis (PD) development using an integrated bioinformatics method.

Methods:DEGs from GEO gene-expression data were identified using the \"limma\" package. We obtained OSRGs from GeneCards and utilized a Venn diagram to uncover differentially expressed OSRGs (DEOSRGs). After receiving the DEOSRGs, we employed Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analytical tools to examine their possible functions and pathways in PD. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves screened for hub genes of PD. RT-qPCR and western blot analysis were used to detect DEOSRG expression in mouse ligature-induced periodontitis gingival tissues.

Results:The investigation identified 273 OSRGs. Based on PPI analysis, we recognized 20 OSRGs as hub genes. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that these hub genes were predominantly enriched in leukocyte migration, lymphocyte proliferation, and humoral immune response, and associated with leukocyte trans-endothelial migration, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, and NF-κB signaling pathway. Following ROC analysis, VCAM1, ITGAM, FCGR3A, IL1A, PECAM1, and VCAM1were identified as PD prognostic gene. RT-qPCR and western blot analyses confirmed that the expression ITGAM, FCGR3A, and PECAM1 were significantly elevated in the gingival tissues obtained from mice.

Conclusion:This investigation revealed that ITGAM, FCGR3A, and PECAM1 may have a crucial function in the advancement of PD.
