Effect of HtrA on the fructosyltransferase expression in cariogenic Streptococcus mutans
摘要
目的:研究乳牙高致龋性变异链球菌(streptococcus mutans
S.mutans)高温需要蛋白A(high temperature requirement serine proteinase A
Objective: To investigate the difference in the expression ability of fructosyltransferase(FTF) in vitro in a non-stressful environment between a high temperature requirement serine proteinase A(HtrA) gene-deficient Streptococcus mutans strain and a HtrA high-virulent S. mutans strain with high cariogenicity. Methods: A high-virulent S. mutans strain obtained in our previous study
an HtrA gene-deficient strain constructed based on it
and an international standard strain
S. mutans UA159
were selected and cultured in brain-heart infusion(BHI)broth for 16 h. The real-time quantitative PCR detection system was used to determine the amplification of FTF gene in the three strains. The relative quantitative analysis—2-△△Ctmethod was used to calculate and compare the relative expression of FTF gene in the three strains. Results: The FTF gene expression in the HtrA high-virulent strain was23.588 times that in the HtrA gene-deficient strain
while that in the UA159 standard strain was 10.556 times that in the HtrA gene-deficient strain. Conclusion: The expression of FTF in cariogenic S. mutans is regulated by HtrA.
