Background: Relationship between periodontitis (PD) and type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been reported, but the detailed pathogenesis requires further elucidation. This study aimed to reveal the genetic linkage between PD and T1D through bioinformatics analysis, thereby providing novel insights into scientific research and clinical treatment of the two diseases.
Methods: PD-related datasets (GSE10334, GSE16134, GSE23586) and T1D-related datasets(GSE162689)were downloaded from NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Following batch correction and merging of PD-related datasets as one cohort, differential expression analysis was performed (adjusted p-value <0.05 and ∣log2 fold change| > 0.5), and common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between PD and T1D were extracted. Functional enrichment analysis was conducted via Metascape website. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of common DEGs was generated in The Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRING) database. Hub genes were selected by Cytoscape software and validated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.
Results: 59 common DEGs of PD and T1D were identified. Among these DEGs, 23 genes were commonly upregulated, and 36 genes were commonly downregulated in both PD- and T1D-related cohorts. Functional enrichment analysis indicated that common DEGs were mainly enriched in tube morphogenesis, supramolecular fiber organization, 9 + 0 non-motile cilium, plasma membrane bounded cell projection assembly, glomerulus development, enzyme-linked receptor protein signaling pathway, endochondral bone morphogenesis, positive regulation of kinase activity, cell projection membrane and regulation of lipid metabolic process. After PPI construction and modules selection, 6 hub genes (CD34, EGR1, BBS7, FMOD, IGF2, TXN) were screened out and expected to be critical in linking PD and T1D. ROC analysis showed that the AUC values of hub genes were all greater than 70% in PD-related cohort and greater than 60% in T1D-related datasets.
Conclusion: Shared molecular mechanisms between PD and T1D were revealed in this study, and 6 hub genes were identified as potential targets in treating PD and T1D.
1 Background
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder featured by hyperglycemia as a result of deficiency in insulin secretion and/or insulin action (Rayburn, 1997/9). The incidence of DM is estimated to rise to 629 million by 2045, leading to high public health burden (Simeni Njonnou et al., 2020). DM is associated with a number of devastating complications, which are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic individuals. Among all diabetic complications, PD has recently ignited great interest due to its close relation with systemic health. As the sixth complication of DM, PD referrers to a chronic inflammatory disease of periodontal tissues featured by progressive destruction of tooth-supporting structures (Papapanou et al., 2018). PD has influenced at least 40% of adults in America and is the major cause of tooth loosening in adults, exerting negative impact on quality of life (Eke et al., 2000).
PD and hyperglycemia are closely connected. On the one hand, hyperglycemia can significantly increase the susceptibility and severity of PD (Mealey and Ocampo, 2000). On the other hand, PD can impede glycemic control and increase susceptibility to other DM-related complications (Graziani et al., 2018; Taylor et al., 2013; Emrich et al., 1991). In addition, clinical evidence has indicated that effective treatments of PD or desirable glycemic control could alleviate clinical symptoms of the other disease (Madianos and Koromantzos, 2018; Engebretson and Kocher, 2013; Sundar et al., 2018/12; Tsai et al., 2002; Preshaw et al., 2012).
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a subtype of insulin-dependent DM caused by destruction of the pancreatic islets. The incidence of T1D has been increasing by 2%–5% globally in the past decades, imposing increasingly heavy burden to healthcare providers (Maahs et al., 2010; Kakleas et al., 2015). Due to a lack of diagnostic biomarkers, the long-term survival rate of T1D is quite low (Pujar et al., 2022). T1D shares several similar clinical symptoms with type 2 diabetes (T2D), such as hyperglycemia and hyperglycemia-related complications like PD. Extensive studies have shown that periodontal parameters were positively correlated with T1D, including gingival index, bleeding on probing, the amount of dental plaque and probing pocket depth (Dakovic and Pavlovic, 2008; Orbak et al., 2008; Popławska-Kita et al., 2014; Ismail et al., 2015; Jindal et al., 2015; Roy et al., 2019; Dicembrini et al., 2020). Radiographic examination also showed that T1D patients presented exacerbated alveolar bone loss compared with non-diabetic individuals (Plessas et al., 2018). In addition, T1D patients were reported to have lower rate of salivary flow and reduced salivary pH, which could promote the formation of dental plaque and further deteriorate the periodontal health (Aren et al., 2003; Hodge et al., 2012). A recent meta-analysis also indicated a strong link between PD and T1D (Rapone et al., 2020a).
Given to the different pathogenic mechanisms, the two types of DM are considered as distinct diseases clinically. Unlike T2D, which primarily affects adults, T1D usually starts early in life and increases the risk of periodontal destruction since childhood and adolescence (Lalla et al., 2007). Although both T1D and T2D have a close association with PD, but clinical studies showed the glycemic control after periodontal treatment is different between T1D and T2D patients, indicating that the underlying genetic linkage between PD and the two types of DM is not exactly the same (Rapone et al., 2020a; Janket et al., 2005/12; Reddy and Gopalkrishna, 2022; Shinjo et al., 2019; Pranckeviciene et al., 2017; Novotna et al., 2015; Rapone et al., 2020b; Corbella et al., 2013). Currently, extensive studies have explored the association between T2D and PD, while there is a paucity of reports regarding deep research on crosstalk between T1D and PD.
Considering the relationship between PD and T1D, investigating genetic linkage between them and uncovering the critical genes are of urgent need and can provide important insights into scientific researches and clinical treatments of the two diseases. Previous studies have indicated that several potential molecules and signaling pathways were pertinent to interplay between PD and T1D (Popławska-Kita et al., 2014; Rapone et al., 2020a). However, genetic crosstalk between T1D and PD is far more complicated, making it difficult to comprehensively elucidate the complex mechanisms only by clinical and experimental studies alone.
Nowadays, bioinformatics analysis is a critical tool in mining novel biomarkers and genetic linkages of diseases. Crosstalk genes and molecular processes can be uncovered and comprehensively described through integrating and analyzing the transcriptomic data. Especially in the era of precise medicine, uncovering the critical disease biomarkers serves as a robust tool to improve disease diagnosis, develop targeted therapies, and predict disease prognosis. In this study, gene expression profiling data of chronic PD and T1D were obtained from four publicly available datasets. After a series of bioinformatic analysis processes, potential molecular mechanisms linking T1D and PD and common dysregulated genes between the two diseases were identified. Finally, critical crosstalk genes were further screened out, potentially providing novel insights into targeted therapeutic strategies for PD and T1D.
2 Methods
2.1 Datasets acquisition and preparation
Expression data of chronic PD and T1D were downloaded from GEO database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/) (Barrett et al., 2013/1). GSE10344 (Demmer et al., 2008), GSE16134 (Kebschull et al., 2014) and GSE23586 (Abe et al., 2011) were for PD, and GSE162689 was for T1D (Seiron et al., 2021) respectively. The detailed information of these datasets was listed in Table 1.
TABLE 1. Description of included datasets.
For three PD datasets, batch correction was performed using “SVA” package in R language software (R 4.1.0). In this way, the three PD datasets were combined as one cohort with 136 control samples and 427 PD samples. Principal component analysis (PCA) on expression values of samples was conducted before and after batch correction via “library (vegan)” package and the PCA results were visualized by “ggplot2” package. The probe ID was converted into genetic symbol according to annotation files. When multiple probes matched one single gene, the gene expression value was calculated by the average level of the probes. Additionally, probes that did not match the genetic symbols were removed.
The workflow of this study was presented in Figure 1.
FIGURE 1. The workflow of this study.
2.2 Identification of DEGs
To identify the DEGs between disease and normal samples, the “limma” package and “DESeq2” package in R language software were used for PD- and T1D-related datasets respectively. Adjusted p-value <0.05 and |log2 fold change| >0.5 was set as the cut-off criteria of DEGs, and log2 fold change >0.5 was for upregulated genes and log2 fold change <0.5 was for downregulated genes. Subsequently, common upregulated and downregulated DEGs of PD and T1D were obtained by overlapping the two cohorts of DEGs. The “venn” package in R language software was employed to plot Venn diagrams.
2.3 Functional enrichment analysis
The functional enrichment analysis of common DEGs was conducted using the webtool “Metascape” (http://metascape.org/) (Zhou et al., 2019). Metascape is up-to-date and contains a broad set of gene list annotation and analysis resource. In this study, the following databases were adopted for pathway and processes enrichment: Gene Ontology (GO) Molecular Functions, GO Biological Processes, GO Cellular Components, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) Pathway, Reactome Gene Sets, WikiPathways, Canonical Pathways and PANTHER Pathways. Min overlap: 3, p-value: 0.05 and Min enrichment: 1.5 were set as cutoff criteria. The significance was ranked by -log10 (p-value).
2.4 PPI network construction and hub genes selection
PPI network was constructed via STRING database (Szklarczyk et al., 2019). Further, the PPI network was imported into Cytoscape software for visualization and hub gene selection. The plugin “Cytohubba” in Cytoscape was employed to select key gene modules (Chin et al., 2014). Top 10 highly connected genes of three topological algorithms (Degree, MCC and Stress) were obtained and overlapping genes of the three sets of genes were considered as hub genes. Boxplots of expression value of hub genes was drawn via R’s “ggplot2” and “ggpubr” package.
2.5 ROC curve analysis
To evaluate the diagnostic performance of hub genes in each disease, “pROC” package in R language software was used to perform ROC curve analysis. Area under the curve (AUC) reflect the prediction effect of the hub genes.
3 Results
3.1 Identification of common DEGs in PD and T1D
PCA of the expression values indicated a successful batch correction (Figure 2). For PD, 1110 DEGs were identified, of which 683 genes were upregulated and 427 genes were downregulated. 2201 DEGs were identified in T1D datasets, of which 702 genes were upregulated and 1499 genes were downregulated (Figures 3A, B). Through taking the intersection of upregulated and downregulated DEGs respectively, 23 upregulated and 36 downregulated common DEGs were screened out, namely, 59 common DEGs were obtained (Figures 3C, D).

3.2 Functional enrichment analysis
Functional enrichment analysis was conducted to explore the function of the 59 common DEGs. As the result showed, the common DEGs were enriched in GO Biological Processes and GO Cellular Components (Figure 4). The top 10 terms are tube morphogenesis, supramolecular fiber organization, 9 + 0 non-motile cilium, plasma membrane bounded cell projection assembly, glomerulus development, enzyme-linked receptor protein signaling pathway, endochondral bone morphogenesis, positive regulation of kinase activity, cell projection membrane and regulation of lipid metabolic process.

3.3 PPI network construction and hub genes selection
PPI network of common DEGs was shown in Figure 5A. Based on three topological algorithms (MCC, Degree and Stress), three groups of top 10 highly connected genes were obtained (Figures 5B–D), common genes of which were selected as hub genes. 6 hub genes were identified in this study: CD34, EGR1, BBS7, FMOD, IGF2, TXN. The expression value of hub genes in each disease cohort showed that CD34, EGR1, FMOD, IGF2 were upregulated in PD and T1D, while BBS7 and TXN were downregulated in the two diseases (Figure 6).

3.4 Identification of diagnostic performance of hub genes
To assess the diagnostic effects of hub genes, ROC analysis was performed using the abovementioned disease cohorts. The larger the area under the curve, the higher the diagnostic values. In PD-related cohort, AUC values of all the hub genes were greater than 70%, and from highest to lowest are FMOD (0.874), CD34 (0.841), TXN (0.798), BBS7 (0.77), EGR1 (0.726) and IGF2 (0.723). For T1D-related datasets, the hub genes presented less satisfactory prediction effects, and AUC for hub genes were greater than 60% overall. BBS7 (0.699) showed the highest AUC values in T1D-related datasets, followed by EGR1 (0.674), CD34 (0.67), FMOD (0.627), IGF2 (0.620) and TXN (0.613) (Figure 7).

4 Discussion
PD and T1D are two chronic diseases with high prevalence, and the links between the two diseases have been reported for years (Karjalainen et al., 1994; Popławska-Kita et al., 2014; Rapone et al., 2020a; Reddy and Gopalkrishna, 2022). These previous studies indicated that there may be at least one critical gene that promote the development of both PD and T1D. Nevertheless, the detailed genetic linkage is still unclear. In the era of precision medicine, discovering novel biomarkers and genetic linkage is of critical importance to treatment of the two diseases.
To make the results reliable and less biased, tissue of PD datasets and T1D datasets were from gingiva and islets separately. In this study, common DEGs of chronic PD and T1D were screened out by bioinformatics analysis. Functional enrichment analysis showed that the overlapping DEGs were mainly enriched in GO Biological Process and GO Cellular Component, including tube morphogenesis, supramolecular fiber organization, 9 + 0 non-motile cilium, plasma membrane bounded cell projection assembly, glomerulus development, enzyme-linked receptor protein signaling pathway, endochondral bone morphogenesis, positive regulation of kinase activity, cell projection membrane and regulation of lipid metabolic process. These terms are mostly about cell structure construction and cell communication. After PPI network construction and module selection, we identified 6 hub genes that are supposed to play critical roles in linking PD and T1D. Among the 6 hub genes, CD34, EGR1, FMOD and IGF2 were upregulated while BBS7 and TXN were downregulated in PD and T1D.
Among those upregulated genes, CD34 is a glycosylated transmembrane protein and widely expressed in human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) (Zola et al., 2007; FadiniPaolo et al., 2010). Both PD and diabetes are closely related with endothelial dysfunction, and circulating EPCs is one of the endothelial dysfunction biomarkers (Gurav, 2014; Jönsson et al., 2014). It is reported that PD patients had higher count of CD34+ EPCs, which could be reduced by treatment of PD (Aimetti et al., 2008; Li et al., 2009; Li et al., 2011; Jönsson et al., 2014). Compared with systemically-healthy individuals with PD, gingival tissue of patients with diabetes-related PD presented more CD34+ cells (Penmetsa et al., 2014/11). Moreover, periodontist patient with T1D had more CD34+ endothelia cell counts than periodontist patients with T2D (Aspriello et al., 2009). However, a recent study showed that CD34+ EPCs was downregulated in PD patients. The inconsistency can be attributed to lack of specificity of CD34 as the marker of different subtypes of EPCs (Zhou et al., 2022). Different subtypes of CD34+ EPCs have different lifespan and physiological functions. Therefore, it may be less appropriate to use CD34 as an independent diagnostic marker and therapeutic target. CD34 is also widely used to mark the endothelial cells of blood vessels and evaluate vascular proliferation (Mirbod et al., 2001). Compared with healthy individuals, chronic PD patients with or without diabetes had more CD34 positive blood vessels in gingival tissues (Penmetsa et al., 2015). Although CD34 showed ideal diagnostic performance in this present bioinformatics study, given to the widespread presence of CD34, detailed role of CD34 in genetic linkage between PD and T1D needs more in-depth investigation.
Early growth response factor 1 (EGR1) is a zinc finger transcription factor (TF) and can be induced by a series of stimulus like shear stress and hypoxia (Silverman and Collins, 1999). EGR1 has been reported to play an important role in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis (Thiel and Cibelli, 2002). Moreover, it is closely related with inflammatory process, which is a critical pathogenic mechanism of both PD and T1D (Trizzino et al., 2021/1). The relationship between EGR1 and T1D is barely reported, and the existing literature concentrate mostly on T2D. EGR1 can be induced by glucose and highly expressed in T2D Zucker Fatty rats (Josefsen et al., 1999; Garnett et al., 2005). Considering different pathogenesis of T1D and T2D, detailed role of EGR1 on T1D needs further exploration.
EGR1 is reported to be harmful for several diabetic complications, including PD, and suppressing EGR1 was helpful to alleviate the complications (Wang et al., 2015; Ao et al., 2019/5; Zha et al., 2019; Cui et al., 2022; Hu et al., 2018/). EGR1 was predicted to be involved in the regulatory network of the DEG-TFs of PD, and a bioinformatics study indicated that EGR1 may play a role in the development of PD via forming immunosuppressive microenvironment (Li et al., 2018; He et al., 2021). Two independent studies observed elevated expression of EGR1 in gingival fibroblasts and gingiva bulk tissue from patients with PD (Trabandt et al., 1992/5; Ebersole et al., 2018). Periodontal infection could upregulate EGR1 expression in endothelial and Epithelial cells (Maekawa et al., 2010; Umeda et al., 2012). Macrophages, essential components of the innate immune system, have been identified to play a pivotal role in the development PD and diabetes (Zhang et al., 2021). Further study revealed that EGR1 was upregulated in macrophages of gingival tissue with PD (Agrafioti et al., 2022). Downregulating EGR1 could suppressed inflammatory responses and M1 polarization of macrophages, which is the pro-inflammatory phenotype of macrophages and accumulated in PD and diabetes (Zhang et al., 2021; Zhi et al., 2022). In addition, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine identified as a pathogenic factor in both PD and DM (Nishimura et al., 2003). Studies showed that EGR1 was involved in lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-α upregulation in macrophages (Shi et al., 2002).
Fibromodulin (FMOD) is a small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) that can be found in teeth and bones, and normal levels of FMOD is essential for development of dental tissues and alveolar bone (Ho et al., 2013; Al-QattanMohammad and Al-Qattan, 2018). FMOD is well known for assembling the extracellular matrix and modulating collagen fibrillogenesis (Chen and Birk, 2013). It has been reported that SLRPs were crucial for periodontal homeostasis through regulating matrix turnover and collagen organization (Leong et al., 2012; Wang et al., 2014). Consistent with the present study, FMOD expression was upregulated in inflamed gingival tissue (Qian et al., 2004). It is reported that increased FMOD would be desirable for management of periodontal disease as decreased FMOD could promote osteoclastogenesis (Al-QattanMohammad and Al-Qattan, 2018). Although relationship between FMOD and T1D has not been reported, abnormal FMOD levels were observed in several diabetic complications. For instance, FMOD was identified as a potential diagnostic marker for diabetic nephropathy, and FMOD treatment can alleviate the albuminuria in diabetic nephropathy rats (Feng et al., 2021; Jazi et al., 2016/3). Considering that FMOD was implicated in inflammatory disease and cellular immune response, the detailed role of FMOD on T1D and PD deserves further exploration (Zeng-Brouwers et al., 2020).
Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is one of the dominant members of IGFs family and is supposed to be involved in glucose metabolism (Uchimura et al., 2017). Expression level of IGF2 in T1D is tissue-specific. For instance, IGF2 expression is defective in tissues like thymus and serum, while the current study indicated that IGF2 was upregulated in islet of T1D patients (Kecha-Kamoun et al., 2001; Geenen et al., 2005; Shapiro et al., 2020). Existing literature indicated that IGF2 was a protective factor for T1D. IGF2 is critical for pancreatic β-cell mass and function and could promote proliferation of β-cells (Modi et al., 2015). Upregulating the expression of IGF2 could protect β-cells against apoptosis and deficiency of IGF2 could cause β-cell anomaly (Calderari et al., 2007; Cornu et al., 2009; Estil les et al., 2009). In addition, as an anti-apoptotic endocrine protein, IGF2 could improve survival of islet transplantation (Hughes et al., 2014). For PD, a bioinformatics study indicated that IGF2 was intersected between PD and Major depressive disorder (Sun et al., 2021). Another study also predicted that IGF2 was involved in genetic crosstalk between PD and Down Syndrome, indicating the importance of IGF2 in the pathogenesis of PD (Chen et al., 2021). IGF2 could suppress the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament cells (Konermann et al., 2013). However, detailed role of IGF2 on PD still needs further experimental validation.
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a series of anomalies like obesity, hypertension and diabetes (Zhang et al., 2012). As one of the disease-causing gene, BBS7 is involved in encoding BBSome complex, which plays a critical role in primary cilia function and intracellular transport (Zhang et al., 2013). Although diabetes is one of the common features of Bardet-Biedl syndrome, the detailed relationship between BBS7 and diabetes remains unclear. For PD, BBS7 is essential for periodontal ligament homeostasis through regulating primary cilia. BBS7 was downregulated in occlusal hypofunctional periodontal ligament, and knockdown of BBS7 could inhibit cell migration and angiogenesis (Chang et al., 2021).
It is reported that thioredoxin (TXN) could protect cells from oxidative stress, which is among causes of destruction of pancreatic β-cells in T1D (Kaneto et al., 2007). Overexpression of TXN in pancreatic β-cells could reduce the incidence of T1D (Hotta et al., 1998). In addition, TXN polymorphism can influence the susceptibility of T1D (Ikegami et al., 2008). However, the relationship between TXN and PD has not been reported yet.
Through analyzing these hub genes, we found that although the expression trends of these hub genes were the same in PD and T1D datasets, their effects on the disease progression can be opposite. This phenomenon further suggests the importance of precision therapy and the “precision” is reflected not only in key biomarkers, but also in targeted tissue.
However, several limitations did exist in this study. The transcriptome data comes from different population, causing bias to some extent. In addition, imbalanced sample size of PD and T1D cohorts may lead to a shift in detected genes. Therefore, to overcome this limitations, further experimental validation is needed.
5 Conclusion
In the present study, we uncovered several biological processes and pathways that the DEGs were enriched in via bioinformatic analysis. Six key genes were identified and validated that may play a pivotal role in crosstalk between PD and T1D. Some of them have been implicated to be involved in PD or T1D, showing great potential to be key targets for diagnosis and treatments. Our findings provide novel insights into crosstalk between PD and T1D and pave the way for scientific researches and the development of therapeutic strategies. Targeting at the common expression genes may be a potential strategy to tackle both diseases at the same time. In the future, in vitro and in vivo validations are expected to further confirm our findings.
