Periodontal disease (PD) is caused by microbial dysbiosis and accompanying adverse inflammatory responses. Due to its high incidence and association with various systemic diseases, disease-modifying treatments that modulate dysbiosis serve as promising therapeutic approaches. In this study, to simulate the pathophysiological situation, we established a "temporary ligature plus oral infection model" that incorporates a temporary silk ligature and oral infection with a cocktail of live Tannerella forsythia (Tf), Pophyromonas gingivalis (Pg), and Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) in mice and tested the efficacy of a new trivalent mucosal vaccine. It has been reported that Tf, a red complex pathogen, amplifies periodontitis severity by interacting with periodontopathic bacteria such as Pg and Fn. Here, we developed a recombinant mucosal vaccine targeting a surface-associated protein, BspA, of Tf by genetically combining truncated BspA with built-in adjuvant flagellin (FlaB). To simultaneously induce Tf-, Pg-, and Fn-specific immune responses, it was formulated as a trivalent mucosal vaccine containing Tf-FlaB-tBspA (BtB), Pg-Hgp44-FlaB (HB), and Fn-FlaB-tFomA (BtA). Intranasal immunization with the trivalent mucosal vaccine (BtB + HB + BtA) prevented alveolar bone loss and gingival proinflammatory cytokine production. Vaccinated mice exhibited significant induction of Tf-tBspA-, Pg-Hgp44-, and Fn-tFomA-specific IgG and IgA responses in the serum and saliva, respectively. The anti-sera and anti-saliva efficiently inhibited epithelial cell invasion by Tf and Pg and interfered with biofilm formation by Fn. The flagellin-adjuvanted trivalent mucosal vaccine offers a novel method for modulating dysbiotic bacteria associated with periodontitis. This approach leverages the adjuvant properties of flagellin to enhance the immune response, aiming to restore a balanced microbial environment and improve periodontal health.
