Abstract

-Omics analyses, including the systematic cataloging of messenger RNA and microRNA sequences or DNA methylation patterns in a cell population, organ, or tissue sample, are powerful means of generating comprehensive genome-level data sets on complex diseases. We have systematically assessed the transcriptome, microbiome, miRNome, and methylome of gingival and peri-implant tissues from human subjects and further studied the transcriptome of primary cells ex vivo, or in vitro after infection with periodontal pathogens.Our data offer new insight on the pathophysiology underlying periodontal and peri-implant diseases, a possible route to a better and earlier diagnosis of these highly prevalent chronic inflammatory diseases and thus, to a personalized and efficient treatment approach.Herein, we outline the laboratory steps required for the processing of periodontal cells and tissues for -omics analyses using current microarrays or next-generation sequencing technology.
