Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, non-coding RNAs in P. gingivalis, T. forsythia, T. denticola related to severe periodontitis and in A. actinomycetemcomitans related to aggressive periodontitis were analyzed and identified comprehensively using a next generation sequencer. As a result, approximately 50-60% of ncRNA in various bacterial ncRNAs predicted in silico had their expressions actually. Also, new ncRNAs were discovered. This study is useful for the elucidation of new transcriptional regulations in pathogenic bacterial genes and for the diagnosis marker in a periodontal disease in the future.
