Popis: Objective Treponema denticola is involved in ‘chronic’ periodontitis pathogenesis. The mechanism underlying the regulation of the expression of its virulence factors, such as major surface protein (Msp) and prolyl-phenylalanine specific protease (dentilisin) is yet to be clarified. We determined the gene expression profiles of Msp- and dentilisin-deficient mutants of T. denticola to identify the regulation network of gene expression concomitant with the inactivation of these virulence genes. Methods Gene expression profiles of T. denticola ATCC 35405 (wild type), dentilisin-deficient mutant K1, and msp-deficient mutant DMSP3 were determined using DNA microarray analysis and quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). Msp and dentilisin protein levels were determined by immunoblotting and proteolytic activity assays. Results In addition to several differentially expressed genes, dentilisin expression was reduced in DMSP3; msp expression was significantly reduced in K1 (p
