AimFilifactor alocishas recently emerged as a periodontal pathobiont that appears to thrive in the oral cavity of smokers. We hypothesized that identification of smoke‐responsiveF. alocisgenes would provide insight into adaptive strategies and that cigarette smoke would enhanceF. alocispathogenesis in vivo.Materials and MethodsF. alociswas grown in vitro and cigarette smoke extract‐responsive genes determined by RNAseq. Mice were exposed, or not, to mainstream 1R6F research cigarette smoke and infected withF. alocis, or not, in an acute ligature model of periodontitis. Key clinical, infectious, and immune data were collected.ResultsIn culture,F. alocisgrowth was unaffected by smoke conditioning and only a small number of genes were specifically regulated by smoke exposure. Reduced murine mass, differences inF. alocis‐cognizant antibody production, and altered immune profiles as well as altered alveolar bone loss were all attributable to smoke exposure and/orF. alocisinfection in vivo.ConclusionsF. alocisis well‐adapted to tobacco‐rich conditions and its pathogenesis is enhanced by tobacco smoke exposure. A smoke‐exposed ligature model of periodontitis shows promise as a tool with which to further unravel mechanisms underlying tobacco‐enhanced, bacteria‐induced disease.
