Abstract | Ingestion of Porphyromonas gingivalis, a periodontal pathogen, disrupts the intestinal barrier in mice. However, the involvement of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) secreted from P. gingivalis in the destruction of the intestinal barrier remains unclear. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that OMVs carrying gingipains, the major cysteine proteases produced by P. gingivalis, affects the intestinal barrier function. OMVs increased the permeability of the Caco-2 cell monolayer, a human intestinal epithelial cell line, accompanied by degradation of the tight junction protein occludin. In contrast, OMVs prepared from mutant strains devoid of gingipains failed to induce intestinal barrier dysfunction or occludin degradation in Caco-2 cells. A close histological examination revealed the intracellular localization of gingipain-carrying OMVs. Gingipain activity was detected in the cytosolic fraction of Caco-2 cells after incubation with OMVs. These results suggest that gingipains were internalized into intestinal cells through OMVs and transported into the cytosol, where they then directly degraded occludin from the cytosolic side. Thus, P. gingivalis OMVs might destroy the intestinal barrier and induce systemic inflammation via OMV itself or intestinal substances leaked into blood vessels, causing various diseases. |
