Periodontitis is defined as an oral bacterial dysbiosis-induced persistent inflammation on dental supporting tissue resulting in periodontal tissue breakdown and alveolar bone destruction. The disease is initiated by the interaction between periodontopathogens and the host immune system. Its development and severity can be associated with several systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes mellitus, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Moreover, the latest research has suggested that the oral and gut microbiome hypothesis lays the oral and systemic connection mechanism. Bacterial homeostasis and restoration in the oral cavity and intestine become therapeutics concepts. Concerning the treatment of periodontitis, a local inflammatory condition, prolonged systemic administration of antibiotics is no longer recommended due to bacterial resistance issues. Probiotics and several bioactive metabolites have been widely investigated to address the needs of host modulation therapy in periodontitis. Evidence suggests that the use of probiotics helps downregulate the inflammation process through the regulation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and the production of fatty acid, targeting reactive oxygen species (ROS). In brief, several herbals have anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators, including mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB). Consistently, improvement of periodontal pocket depth (PPD) and gingival index (GI) was seen in a group given melatonin as an adjunct treatment. In all, this review will highlight host modulation agents regarding periodontitis therapy, plausible mechanisms on how probiotics and metabolites work on periodontal restoration, and their reported studies. Limitations given by published studies will be elaborated, while future directions will be proposed.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to clarify the antibacterial mechanism and antibiofilm effect of soybean-derived peptide BCBS-11 against periodontopathic bacteria. DESIGN: The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of BCBS-11 against Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum), and Streptococcus mitis (S. mitis) were determined for the antibacterial mechanism. The effect of BCBS-11 on membrane permeability and depolarization activity were investigated using propidium iodide (PI) staining and 3, 3'-dipropylthiadicarbocyanine iodide (DiSC3-(5)) analysis. Monospecies and multispecies biofilms were cultured on 96-well plates. The amount of biofilm was determined using crystal violet staining to determine the inhibition of biofilm formation and the eradication of established biofilm using BCBS-11. The cytotoxicity of BCBS-11 was evaluated using 3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)- 2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. RESULTS: The MIC and MBC indicated the bactericidal activity of BCBS-11 against P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum. The PI staining revealed that BCBS-11 disrupted the bacterial membrane integrity. The DiSC3-(5) analysis indicated that BCBS-11 depolarized the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane. These results indicate the antimicrobial action of BCBS-11 through membrane disruption and the collapse of membrane electrochemical gradient. BCBS-11 significantly inhibited the monospecies biofilm formation of P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum and also inhibited dual-species biofilm. BCBS-11 was not cytotoxic toward human oral epithelial cells. CONCLUSIONS: BCBS-11 inhibits the monospecies and multispecies biofilm formation of P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum, and their bactericidal activity results from membrane disruption.

Laminin, a basement membrane heterotrimeric glycoprotein composed of α/β/γ subunits, has important tissue-specific functions in the control of cellular behavior. Our recent study showed the colocalization of CD163+ M2-like macrophages with Schwann cells in human dental pulp, leading us to hypothesize that the laminin isoform of Schwann cells is associated with CD163 expression. The present study investigated the distribution of laminin isoforms in human dental pulp and the underlying mechanisms that affect macrophage phenotypes. Immunofluorescence analysis indicated that blood vessels were exclusively positive for laminin α4 and α5, whereas laminin α2 was associated with Schwann cells. Unexpectedly, laminin α3/laminin-332 (α3β3γ2) was detected on lymphatic vessels. In intact and carious teeth, CD163+ cells were associated with laminin α2, whereas CD206 single-positive cells were present inside, outside, and along blood vessels. In vitro incubation of THP-1 macrophages in plates coated with laminin-211/511 or its functionally analogous E8 fragments of α-chain (E8-α) indicated that cell shapes differed between macrophages grown on laminin-211/E8-α2 and macrophages grown on laminin-511/E8-α5. Laminin-211/E8-α2-coated plates upregulated CD163 expression, compared with laminin-511/E8-α5-coated plates. Integrin α3- and integrin α6-neutralizing Abs altered the shape of THP-1 macrophages and upregulated mRNA levels of CD206 and CD163 in macrophages grown on laminin-511; the neutralizing Abs did not affect macrophages grown on laminin-211. These findings suggest that laminin isoforms differentially regulate macrophage behavior via distinct integrin-laminin affinities. Of note, laminin-332 is expressed by pulpal lymphatic vessels, the existence of which has been debated; laminin-211 might have a role in maintaining CD163 expression on macrophages.

OBJECTIVE: Food-derived bioactive peptides have been reported to exhibit various beneficial effects, including anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant properties. Oxidative stress has been implicated in the development of several inflammatory diseases such as periodontal disease. However, the anti-oxidative effect of food-derived bioactive peptides in gingival epithelial cells (GECs) is unknown. Therefore, we examined the bioactivity of the peptides in GECs. DESIGN: Food-derived peptide fractionations derived from rice bran, rice endosperm, corn, and soy were screened for anti-oxidative effects using anti-oxidant response element (ARE)-luciferase-transfected HEK 293 cells. The induction of anti-oxidation-related genes and proteins in GECs by the fractions were examined by quantitative PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Then, the fraction-mediated anti-oxidative effects were examined by measuring intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels using flow cytometry. Furthermore, the anti-oxidative response-related cellular signaling pathways were analyzed via Western blotting. RESULTS: Although treatment with the food-derived peptides alone did not activate anti-oxidative responses, co-treatment with sulforaphane (SFN; a potent anti-oxidant) and certain food-derived peptides enhanced anti-oxidative responses in ARE-luciferase-transfected HEK 293 cells. The fractions augmented heme oxygenase-1 mRNA and protein expression in GECs. The percentage of ROS-positive cells was significantly decreased by co-treatment with SFN and peptide fractions derived from rice bran. Furthermore, the involvement of both nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in the enhancement of anti-oxidative responses was demonstrated by Western blotting. CONCLUSIONS: Peptides derived from rice bran enhances SFN-induced anti-oxidative responses in GECs through ERK-Nrf2-ARE signaling.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of ingested periodontal pathogens on experimental colitis in mice and to elucidate its underlying mechanisms. BACKGROUND: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is defined as a chronic intestinal inflammation that results in damage to the gastrointestinal tract. Epidemiological studies have shown an association between IBD and periodontitis. Although a large number of ingested oral bacteria reach gastrointestinal tract constantly, the effect of ingested periodontal pathogens on intestinal inflammation is still unknown. METHODS: Experimental colitis was induced by inclusion of dextran sodium sulfate solution in drinking water of the mice. Major periodontal pathogens (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, and Fusobacterium nucleatum) were administered orally every day during the experiment. The severity of colitis between the groups was compared. In vitro studies of the intestinal epithelial cell line were conducted to explore the molecular mechanisms by which periodontal pathogens affect the development of colitis. RESULTS: The oral administration of P. gingivalis significantly increased the severity of colitis when compared to other pathogens in the DSS-induced colitis model. The ingested P. gingivalis disrupted the colonic epithelial barrier by decreasing the expression of tight junction proteins in vivo. In vitro permeability assays using the intestinal epithelial cell line suggested the P. gingivalis-specific epithelial barrier disruption. The possible involvement of gingipains in the exacerbation of colitis was implied by using P. gingivalis lacking gingipains. CONCLUSION: Porphyromonas gingivalis exacerbates gastrointestinal inflammation by directly interacting with the intestinal epithelial barrier in a susceptible host.

Macrolides are used to treat various infectious diseases, including periodontitis. Furthermore, macrolides are known to have immunomodulatory effects; however, the underlying mechanism of their action remains unclear. DEL-1 has emerged as an important factor in homeostatic immunity and osteoclastogenesis. Specifically, DEL-1 is downregulated in periodontitis tissues. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated whether the osteoclastogenesis inhibitory effects of erythromycin (ERM) are mediated through upregulation of DEL-1 expression. We used a ligature-induced periodontitis model in C57BL/6Ncrl wild-type or DEL-1-deficient mice and in vitro cell-based mechanistic studies to investigate how ERM inhibits alveolar bone resorption. As a result of measuring alveolar bone resorption and gene expression in the tooth ligation model, ERM treatment reduced bone loss by increasing DEL-1 expression and decreasing the expression of osteoclast-related factors in wild-type mice. In DEL-1-deficient mice, ERM failed to suppress bone loss and gene expression of osteoclast-related factors. In addition, ERM treatment downregulated osteoclast differentiation and calcium resorption in in vitro experiments with mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages. In conclusion, ERM promotes the induction of DEL-1 in periodontal tissue, which may regulate osteoclastogenesis and decrease inflammatory bone resorption. These findings suggest that ERM may exert immunomodulatory effects in a DEL-1-dependent manner.

OBJECTIVE: Rice peptide has antibacterial properties that have been tested in planktonic bacterial culture. However, bacteria form biofilm at disease sites and are resistant to antibacterial agents. The aim of this study was to clarify the mechanisms of action of rice peptide and its amino acid substitution against periodontopathic bacteria and their antibiofilm effects. DESIGN: Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum were treated with AmyI-1-18 rice peptide or its arginine-substituted analog, G12R, under anaerobic conditions. The amount of biofilm was evaluated by crystal violet staining. The integrity of the bacteria cytoplasmic membrane was studied in a propidium iodide (PI) stain assay and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). RESULTS: Both AmyI-1-18 and G12R inhibited biofilm formation of P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum; in particular, G12R inhibited F. nucleatum at lower concentrations. However, neither peptide eradicated established biofilms significantly. According to the minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration against P. gingivalis, AmyI-1-18 has bacteriostatic properties and G12R has bactericidal activity, and both peptides showed bactericidal activity against F. nucleatum. PI staining and TEM analysis indicated that membrane disruption by G12R was enhanced, which suggests that the replacement amino acid reinforced the electostatic interaction between the peptide and bacteria by increase of cationic charge and α-helix content. CONCLUSIONS: Rice peptide inhibited biofilm formation of P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum, and bactericidal activity via membrane destruction was enhanced by amino acid substitution.

Background & Aims: Periodontitis increases the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); however, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, we show that gut dysbiosis induced by oral administration of Porphyromonas gingivalis, a representative periodontopathic bacterium, is involved in the aggravation of NAFLD pathology. Methods: C57BL/6N mice were administered either vehicle, P. gingivalis, or Prevotella intermedia, another periodontopathic bacterium with weaker periodontal pathogenicity, followed by feeding on a choline-deficient, l-amino acid-defined, high-fat diet with 60 kcal% fat and 0.1% methionine (CDAHFD60). The gut microbial communities were analyzed by pyrosequencing the 16S ribosomal RNA genes. Metagenomic analysis was used to determine the relative abundance of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways encoded in the gut microbiota. Serum metabolites were analyzed using nuclear magnetic resonance-based metabolomics coupled with multivariate statistical analyses. Hepatic gene expression profiles were analyzed via DNA microarray and quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results: CDAHFD60 feeding induced hepatic steatosis, and in combination with bacterial administration, it further aggravated NAFLD pathology, thereby increasing fibrosis. Gene expression analysis of liver samples revealed that genes involved in NAFLD pathology were perturbed, and the two bacteria induced distinct expression profiles. This might be due to quantitative and qualitative differences in the influx of bacterial products in the gut because the serum endotoxin levels, compositions of the gut microbiota, and serum metabolite profiles induced by the ingested P. intermedia and P. gingivalis were different. Conclusions: Swallowed periodontopathic bacteria aggravate NAFLD pathology, likely due to dysregulation of gene expression by inducing gut dysbiosis and subsequent influx of gut bacteria and/or bacterial products.

Macrolide antibiotics exert anti-inflammatory effects; however, little is known regarding their immunomodulatory mechanisms. In this study, using two distinct mouse models of mucosal inflammatory disease (LPS-induced acute lung injury and ligature-induced periodontitis), we demonstrated that the anti-inflammatory action of erythromycin (ERM) is mediated through upregulation of the secreted homeostatic protein DEL-1. Consistent with the anti-neutrophil recruitment action of endothelial cell-derived DEL-1, ERM inhibited neutrophil infiltration in the lungs and the periodontium in a DEL-1-dependent manner. Whereas ERM (but not other antibiotics such as josamycin and penicillin) protected against lethal pulmonary inflammation and inflammatory periodontal bone loss, these protective effects of ERM were abolished in Del1-deficient mice. By interacting with the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) and activating JAK2 in human lung microvascular endothelial cells, ERM induced C/EBPβ-dependent DEL-1 transcription, which was mediated by MAPK p38. Moreover, ERM reversed IL-17-induced inhibition of DEL-1 transcription, in a manner that was not only dependent on JAK2 but also on PI3K/AKT signaling. As DEL-1 levels are severely reduced in inflammatory conditions and with aging, the ability of ERM to upregulate DEL-1 may be a novel approach for the treatment of inflammatory and aging-related diseases.

BACKGROUND: The oral cavity serves as an entrance to the body and is therefore exposed to various exogenous stimuli, including mechanical forces, chemical agents, and bacterial components. The oral mucosa responds to these stimuli to maintain homeostasis and good oral health. The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) ion channel functions as an environment-sensing protein and is involved in a wide variety of cellular responses. Recent studies have revealed that epithelial TRPV1 ion channels in the oral cavity play pivotal roles in several pathophysiological conditions. In this review, we summarize the features of epithelial TRPV1 channels in the oral cavity and focus on their cellular function and pathogenicity with reference to related findings in other organs and tissues. HIGHLIGH: t: TRPV1 channels are widely expressed in epithelial cells in the oral cavity and play pivotal roles in fundamental cellular processes and disease progression. CONCLUSION: This review suggests that oral epithelial TRPV1 contributes to several cellular functions such as cell proliferation, barrier function, and inflammation. Further understanding of the characteristics of epithelial TRPV1 in the oral cavity may provide new insights into the prevention or treatment of diseases.

Purpose of Review: This review updates the current knowledge on nutrient supplements, which are reported as effective in maintaining the health of periodontal tissues or preventing diseases, as a complementary therapy to existing periodontal treatments. Recent Findings: The latest meta-analysis reported that green tea component might be used as a complementary method to existing periodontal treatments. New multifunctional food-derived components such as rice- and soybean-derived proteins and amino acids have also been reported recently. Summary: Several previous reports describe that nutritional supplements may help bacterial control and host immune regulation based on cellular or animal experiments, but evidence regarding most nutritional supplements is still insufficient to apply for prevention or treatment of periodontal disease. Complementary use of green tea extract, including catechin, potentially controlling the symptoms of periodontal disease combined with existing therapies could be beneficial, although randomized clinical trials and larger cohort studies are required properly.

BACKGROUND: Gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in regulating host metabolism that affects the systemic health. To date, several studies have confirmed the fact that microbiota interacts with host, modulating immunity, controlling the homeostasis environment, and maintaining systemic condition. Recent studies have focused on the protective function of poly unsaturated fatty acids, 10-oxo-trans-11-oxadecenoic acid (KetoC) and 10-hydroxy-cis-12-octadecenoic acid (HYA), generated by gut microbiota on periodontal disease. Nevertheless, the mechanism remains unclear as investigations are limited to in vivo and in vitro studies. In this present review, we found that the administration of metabolites, KetoC and HYA, by a probiotic gut microbiota Lactobacillus plantarum from linoleic acid is found to inhibit the oxidation process, possess an antimicrobial function, and prevent the inflammation. These findings suggest the promising use of functional lipids for human health. CONCLUSION: Protective modalities of bioactive metabolites may support periodontal therapy by suppressing bacterial dysbiosis and regulating periodontal homeostasis in the clinical setting.

OBJECTIVE: Oxidative stress, which is defined as an imbalance between pro-oxidant and antioxidant systems, has been implicated in the development and/or progression of several inflammatory diseases, including periodontal disease. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) are the primary inducers of oxidative stress. In the induction of cytoprotective enzymes, the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/antioxidant response element (ARE) signaling in antioxidant systems takes a main role. Notably, 10-oxo-trans-11-octadecenoic acid (KetoC), known as a bioactive metabolite generated by intestinal microorganisms, has been reported to have beneficial effects on several biological responses. Therefore, we investigated the antioxidant effect of KetoC on gingival epithelial cells (GECs) in this present study. METHODS: An SV40-T antigen-transformed human gingival epithelial cell line (Epi4) was used for experiments. The alteration of anti-oxidative stress related genes was analyzed by qPCR. The cellular ROS levels were evaluated by flow cytometry. To explore its molecular mechanisms, ARE promotor activity was analyzed by luciferase assay; the involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and G protein-coupled receptor 120 (GPR120) were evaluated by Western blotting and luciferase assay, respectively. RESULTS: KetoC significantly increased the expression of antioxidant-related genes in GECs. The level of ROS was significantly inhibited by the pretreatment of KetoC. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation by KetoC promoted both the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 and its binding to the ARE in GECs. Further, GPR120 regulated the activation of KetoC induced-Nrf2-ARE signaling. CONCLUSION: KetoC exerts a protective function against the oxidative stress in GECs through GPR120-dependent ERK-Nrf2-ARE signaling.

BACKGROUND: The bioactive metabolite KetoC, generated by intestinal bacteria, exerts various beneficial effects. Nevertheless, its function in the pathogenesis of periodontitis remains unclear. Here, we investigated the effect of KetoC in a mouse model of periodontitis and explored the underlying mechanism. METHODS: Thirty-one 8-week-old male C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into four groups (non-ligation, non-ligation + KetoC, ligation + Porphyromonas gingivalis, and ligation + P. gingivalis + KetoC) (n = 7/8 mice/group) and given a daily oral gavage of KetoC (15 mg/mL) or vehicle for 2 weeks. To induce periodontitis, a 5-0 silk ligature was placed on the maxillary left second molar on day 7, and P. gingivalis W83 (109 colony-forming unit [CFU]) was administered orally every 3 days. On day 14, all mice were euthanized. Alveolar bone destruction was determined from the level of the cemento-enamel junction to the alveolar bone crest. Moreover, bone loss level was confirmed from gingival tissue sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The presence of P. gingivalis was quantified using real-time polymerase chain reaction. In vitro, the bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects of KetoC were assessed by analyzing its suppressive activity on the proliferation of P. gingivalis and using a live/dead bacterial staining kit, respectively. A double-bond-deficient metabolite (KetoB) was then used to investigate the importance of double-bond structure in the antimicrobial activity of KetoC on P. gingivalis. RESULTS: In vivo, KetoC attenuated alveolar bone destruction and suppressed P. gingivalis in the periodontitis group. In vitro, KetoC (but not KetoB) downregulated the proliferation and viability of P. gingivalis in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS: KetoC reduced alveolar bone destruction in a periodontitis model via its antimicrobial function. Therefore, this bioactive metabolite may be valuable in clinical applications to support periodontal therapy.

OBJECTIVE: To highlight the shifting paradigm of periodontitis, describe mechanism of periodontal bone destruction, and propose an updated host modulation therapy (HMT) strategy. To add further clinical relevance, related studies investigating the efficacy of several HMT agents in periodontitis will be discussed. DESIGN: Literature searches were conducted from articles published in PubMed using keywords "periodontal disease AND periodontitis AND host modulation therapy AND anti-inflammatory AND antioxidant", and then the findings were comprehensively summarized and elaborated. RESULT: Accumulating evidence indicates that periodontitis is no longer defined solely as a pathogen-induced disease; rather, it is now recognized as a consequence of uncontrolled immune response and oxidative stress leading to periodontal tissue damage. Although periodontopathic bacteria initiate the disease, inflammation and oxidative stress were reported to be the main causes for the severity of tissue destruction. Thus, since the concept of periodontitis has shifted, our approach to its management needs to be adjusted to accommodate the latest paradigm. Nowadays, the modulation of inflammation and oxidative stress is considered a target of HMT. HMT agents, such as probiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-chemokines, lipid mediators, and bio-active fatty acids, have been extensively investigated for their remarkable functions in modulating the immune response and providing antioxidant effects. CONCLUSION: Findings from in vitro, in vivo, and human studies frequently demonstrate positive association by the administration of HMT in periodontitis. HMT strategy targeted on anti-inflammatory and antioxidant in periodontitis might serve as an excellent therapeutic approach to reach the level of clinical benefit.

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is considered to be associated with periodontitis. Leukotoxin (LtxA), which destroys leukocytes in humans, is one of this bacterium's major virulence factors. Amounts of neutrophil elastase (NE), which is normally localized in the cytoplasm of neutrophils, are reportedly increased in the saliva of patients with periodontitis. However, the mechanism by which NE is released from human neutrophils and the role of NE in periodontitis is unclear. In the present study, it was hypothesized that LtxA induces NE release from human neutrophils, which subsequently causes the breakdown of periodontal tissues. LtxA-treatment did not induce significant cytotoxicity against human gingival epithelial cells (HGECs) or human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). However, it did induce significant cytotoxicity against human neutrophils, leading to NE release. Furthermore, NE and the supernatant from LtxA-treated human neutrophils induced detachment and death of HGECs and HGFs, these effects being inhibited by administration of an NE inhibitor, sivelestat. The present results suggest that LtxA mediates human neutrophil lysis and induces the subsequent release of NE, which eventually results in detachment and death of HGECs and HGFs. Thus, LtxA-induced release of NE could cause breakdown of periodontal tissue and thereby exacerbate periodontitis.

Pro-protein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), a secreted serine protease, regulates serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels by targeting the degradation of LDL receptor (LDLR) in the liver. Although previous reports describe elevated levels of PCSK9 in patients with periodontitis, the mechanisms that trigger this increase in serum PCSK9 levels and induce the related inflammatory response remain unclear. In an unc93b1-deficient mouse of Porphyromonas gingivalis infection, nucleic acid antigen recognition via Toll-like receptors was found to promote PCSK9 production, suggesting an indirect role for tumor necrosis factor-α as an inducer of PCSK9 in contrast to that reported in previous studies. Furthermore, PCSK9 production was independent of the TIR domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-β-dependent signaling pathway. These results indicate that changes in LDLR expression precede an increase in the serum PCSK9 level in the context of an infectious disease such as periodontitis.

The gingival epithelium acts as a physical barrier to separate the biofilm from the gingival tissue, providing the first line of defense against bacterial invasion in periodontal disease. Disruption of the gingival epithelial barrier, and the subsequent penetration of exogenous pathogens into the host tissues, triggers an inflammatory response, establishing chronic infection. Currently, more than 700 different bacterial species have been identified in the oral cavity, some of which are known to be periodontopathic. These bacteria contribute to epithelial barrier dysfunction in the gingiva by producing several virulence factors. However, some bacteria in the oral cavity appear to be beneficial, helping gingival epithelial cells maintain their integrity and barrier function. This review aims to discuss current findings regarding microorganism interactions and epithelial barrier function in the oral cavity, with reference to investigations in the gut, where this interaction has been extensively studied.

Several studies have demonstrated the remarkable properties of microbiota and their metabolites in the pathogenesis of several inflammatory diseases. 10-Hydroxy-cis-12-octadecenoic acid (HYA), a bioactive metabolite generated by probiotic microorganisms during the process of fatty acid metabolism, has been studied for its protective effects against epithelial barrier impairment in the intestines. Herein, we examined the effect of HYA on gingival epithelial barrier function and its possible application for the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease. We found that GPR40, a fatty acid receptor, was expressed on gingival epithelial cells
activation of GPR40 by HYA significantly inhibited barrier impairment induced by Porphyromonas gingivalis, a representative periodontopathic bacterium. The degradation of E-cadherin and beta-catenin, basic components of the epithelial barrier, was prevented in a GPR40-dependent manner in vitro. Oral inoculation of HYA in a mouse experimental periodontitis model suppressed the bacteria-induced degradation of E-cadherin and subsequent inflammatory cytokine production in the gingival tissue. Collectively, these results suggest that HYA exerts a protective function, through GPR40 signaling, against periodontopathic bacteria-induced gingival epithelial barrier impairment and contributes to the suppression of inflammatory responses in periodontal diseases.

Background and Objectives: Previous reports suggest that several serum biomarkers play roles in the pathogenesis, inflammatory response, and oxidative stress in periodontitis caused by bacterial infections, linking chronic periodontitis to atherosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD). The aim of this preliminary study was to investigate, in a Japanese cross-sectional community survey, potential serum biomarkers of periodontitis that are associated with ASVD and chronic periodontitis. Material and Methods: The study cohort included a total of 108 male subjects who underwent annual health examinations. Serum biomarkers (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hs-CRP], proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 [PCSK9], interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, soluble CD14, myeloperoxidase, matrix metalloproteinase-3, adiponectin, total bilirubin [TBIL], and serum lipids) were analyzed to determine their association (if any) with periodontal parameters. Aortic stiffness was evaluated using the brachial-ankle aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) index and the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI). Results: The concentrations of PCSK9 and hs-CRP were increased (P =.001 and.042, respectively), and the concentration of TBIL was decreased (P =.046), in subjects with periodontal disease (determined as a probing depth of ≥4 mm in at least one site) compared with periodontally healthy subjects. The ratio of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and the concentrations of triglycerides, remnant-like particles-cholesterol, and oxidized LDL were elevated in subjects with periodontal disease compared with periodontally healthy subjects (P =.038,.007,.002, and.049, respectively). Multivariate regression analyses indicated that the number of sites with a pocket depth of ≥4 mm was associated with the concentration of PCSK9 and inversely associated with the concentration of TBIL independently (standardized β =.243, P =.040
standardized β = −.443, P =.0002
respectively). Analysis of receiver operating characteristic curves of PCSK9 indicated moderate accuracy for predicting the presence of disease sites (probing depth ≥ 4 mm) (area under the curve = 0.740). No significance in the values of PWV and CAVI was observed between subjects with periodontal disease and periodontally healthy subjects. Conclusion: In Japanese male subjects, the concentrations of serum PCSK9 and TBIL were correlated with periodontal parameters. Moreover, PCSK9 could be a candidate biomarker for diagnosing chronic periodontitis, and may also have potential to evaluate the risk for periodontitis to cause ASVD. Longitudinal studies of larger populations are necessary to confirm the exact association of periodontitis with increased serum PCSK9 and decreased TBIL.

Porhyromonas gingivalis, a causative bacterium of periodontitis, is implicated in the etiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), mainly because of expressing peptidyl arginine deiminase (PAD) that generates RA-related autoantigens. However, compared with other periodontopathic bacteria, the precise role of P. gingivalis in RA is largely unknown. We found that orally administered P. gingivalis changed the gut microbiome with concomitant elevation of serum endotoxin and inflammatory markers, and impairment of the gut barrier function. Based on findings showing a relationship between gut microbiota and RA, we investigated whether the change of gut microbiota induced by P. gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia, another periodontopathic bacterium without PAD, is associated with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). DBA/1J mice were orally administered with or without bacteria followed by induction of CIA. P. gingivalis, but not P. intermedia, administration significantly aggravated arthritis with increased interleukin-17 levels in sera and culture supernatants, increased Th17 cell proportions among mesenteric lymphocytes, and a significant change in the gut microbiome. However, P. gingivalis administration did not elevate the level of anti-citrullinated protein antibody. These results suggest a unique role of P. gingivalis in the link between periodontitis and RA by affecting the gut immune system and the gut microbiota composition.

Objective Transient receptor potential ankyrin-1 (TRPA1) and transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) are calcium (Ca2+)-permeable ion channels mostly known as pain receptors in sensory neurons. However, growing evidence suggests their crucial involvement in the pathogenesis of IBD. We explored the possible contribution of TRPA1 and TRPV1 to T-cell-mediated colitis.
Design We evaluated the role of Trpa1 gene deletion in two models of experimental colitis (ie, interleukin-10 knockout and T-cell-adoptive transfer models). We performed electrophysiological and Ca2+ imaging studies to analyse TRPA1 and TRPV1 functions in CD4+ T cells. We used genetic and pharmacological approaches to evaluate TRPV1 contribution to the phenotype of Trpa1 -/-CD4+ T cells. We also analysed TRPA1 and TRPV1 gene expression and TRPA1(+)TRPV1(+) T cell infiltration in colonic biopsies from patients with IBD.
Results We identified a protective role for TRPA1 in T-cell-mediated colitis. We demonstrated the functional expression of TRPA1 on the plasma membrane of CD4+ T cells and identified that Trpa1 -/-CD4+ T cells have increased T-cell receptor-induced Ca2+ influx, activation profile and differentiation into Th1-effector cells. This phenotype was abrogated upon genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of the TRPV1 channel in mouse and human CD4+ T cells. Finally, we found differential regulation of TRPA1 and TRPV1 gene expression as well as increased infiltration of TRPA1(+)TRPV1(+) T cells in the colon of patients with IBD.
Conclusions Our study indicates that TRPA1 inhibits TRPV1 channel activity in CD4+ T cells, and consequently restrains CD4+ T-cell activation and colitogenic responses. These findings may therefore have therapeutic implications for human IBD.

Background and Objectives: Our previous study demonstrated using an oral gavage model that Porphyromonas gingivalis could induce various inflammatory changes linked to periodontitis-associated systemic diseases by altering gut microbiota. A ligature-induced periodontitis model is similar to human periodontitis in various aspects: in both cases, alveolar bone resorption depends on oral bacterial load, and gingival tissue becomes infiltrated with inflammatory cells. Therefore, this model may be suitable for the analysis of bacterial burden and gingival tissue inflammation with changes related to systemic diseases.
Material and Methods: Periodontal tissue destruction was induced by a 2 wk ligature placement around the bilateral maxillary second molar. We analyzed the expression profile of various genes in several tissues, levels of systemic inflammatory markers and induction of insulin resistance. In addition, we studied changes in gut microbiota composition and bacterial load in the oral cavity.
Results: Two weeks after ligature placement gingival inflammation was significantly induced with a disrupted gingival epithelial barrier and alveolar bone resorption accompanied by increased bacterial burden in the oral cavity. Gene expression analysis of the gingival tissue of ligated mice demonstrated that interleukin (Il) 1b was significantly elevated and Il6 and Il17a tended to be higher in ligated mice than in untreated mice. Although serum IL-6 was significantly elevated and serum amyloid A tended to be higher in ligated compared to untreated mice, endotoxin levels did not differ between the two groups. Among the genes whose expressions are closely related to glucose and lipid metabolisms, only phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (Pck1) and acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase alpha (Acaca) showed significant changes following ligature placement in the liver, with the former upregulated and the latter downregulated. However, insulin sensitivity did not change following ligature placement. Furthermore, ligature placement weakly affected the composition of gut microbiota and gene expression in the intestines.
Conclusion: The results suggest that increased oral commensals and gingival inflammation have limited roles in the pathological changes to adipose and liver tissues, which are important organs whose dysfunctions contribute to the development of periodontitis-related systemic diseases.

Background: Periodontitis has been implicated as a risk factor for metabolic disorders associated with insulin resistance. Recently, we have demonstrated that orally administered Porphyromonas gingivalis, a representative periodontopathic bacterium, induces endotoxemia via reduced gut barrier function coupled with changes in gut microbiota composition, resulting in systemic inflammation and insulin resistance. Propolis, a resinous substance collected by honeybees from leaf buds and cracks in the bark of various plants, can positively affect metabolic disorders in various experimental models. In this study, we thus aimed to clarify the effect of propolis on impaired glucose and lipid metabolism induced by P. gingivalis administration.
Methods: Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were orally administered P. gingivalis strain W83, propolis ethanol extract powder with P. gingivalis, or vehicle. We then analyzed the expression profile of glucose and lipid metabolism-related genes in the liver and adipose tissues. Serum endotoxin levels were also evaluated by a limulus amebocyte lysate test. In addition, we performed histological analysis of the liver and quantified alveolar bone loss by measuring the root surface area on the lower first molar.
Results: Oral administration of P. gingivalis induced downregulation of genes that improve insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue (C1qtnf9, Irs1, and Sirt1), but upregulation of genes associated with lipid droplet formation and gluconeogenesis (Plin2, Acox, and G6pc). However, concomitant administration of propolis abrogated these adverse effects of P. gingivalis. Consistent with gene expression, histological analysis showed that administered propolis suppressed hepatic steatosis induced by P. gingivalis. Furthermore, propolis inhibited the elevation of serum endotoxin levels induced by P. gingivalis administration. Contrary to the systemic effects, propolis had no beneficial effect on alveolar bone loss.
Conclusion: These results suggest that administration of propolis may be effective in suppressing periodontopathic bacteria-induced metabolic changes that increase the risk of various systemic diseases.

The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channel is abundantly expressed in peripheral sensory neurons where it acts as an important polymodal cellular sensor for heat, acidic pH, capsaicin, and other noxious stimuli. The oral cavity is densely innervated by afferent sensory neurons and is a highly specialized organ that protects against infections as well as physical, chemical, and thermal stresses in its capacity as the first part of the digestive system. While the function of TRPV1 in sensory neurons has been intensively studied in other organs, its physiological role in periodontal tissues is unclear. In this study we found that Trpv1(-/-) mice developed severe bone loss in an experimental model of periodontitis. Chemical ablation of TRPV1-expressing sensory neurons recapitulated the phenotype of Trpv1(-/-) mice, suggesting a functional link between neuronal TRPV1 signaling and periodontal bone loss. TRPV1 activation in gingival nerves induced production of the neuropeptide, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and CGRP treatment inhibited osteoclastogenesis in vitro. Oral administration of the TRPV1 agonist, capsaicin, suppressed ligature-induced bone loss in mice with fewer tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive cells in alveolar bone. These results suggest that neuronal TRPV1 signaling in periodontal tissue is crucial for the regulation of osteoclastogenesis via the neuropeptide CGRP.

The ERK1/2 MAPK signalling module integrates extracellular cues that induce proliferation and differentiation of epithelial lineages, and is an established oncogenic driver, particularly in the intestine. However, the interrelation of the ERK1/2 module relative to other signalling pathways in intestinal epithelial cells and colorectal cancer (CRC) is unclear. Here we show that loss of Erk1/2 in intestinal epithelial cells results in defects in nutrient absorption, epithelial cell migration and secretory cell differentiation. However, intestinal epithelial cell proliferation is not impeded, implying compensatory mechanisms. Genetic deletion of Erk1/2 or pharmacological targeting of MEK1/2 results in supraphysiological activity of the ERK5 pathway. Furthermore, targeting both pathways causes a more effective suppression of cell proliferation in murine intestinal organoids and human CRC lines. These results suggest that ERK5 provides a common bypass route in intestinal epithelial cells, which rescues cell proliferation upon abrogation of ERK1/2 signalling, with therapeutic implications in CRC.

Background and ObjectiveIn periodontitis, chronic infection by periodontopathic bacteria induces uncontrolled inflammation, which leads to periodontal tissue destruction. Human gingival epithelial cells (HGECs) constitute a critical first line of defense against periodontopathic bacteria, both as a physical barrier and as regulators of inflammation. Resveratrol, a polyphenol found in grapes and red wine, reportedly has anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, we investigated the effects of resveratrol on the Porphyromonas gingivalis-induced inflammatory responses of HGECs and their mechanism.
Material and MethodsWe stimulated the HGEC line, epi 4, with live or heat-killed P.gingivalis in the presence of resveratrol, and analyzed expressions of the interleukin-8, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and interleukin-1 genes. We determined the involvement of SIRT1 in the effect of resveratrol using sirtinol (a SIRT1 inhibitor) or SIRT1 knockdown. We also examined whether the effects were mediated by activation of AMP-activated kinase, suppression of reactive oxygen species, or inhibition of nuclear factor-B (NF-B).
ResultsResveratrol treatment decreased the expression of inflammatory cytokines and slightly increased the expression of SIRT1. However, neither SIRT1 inhibition nor SIRT1 knockdown counteracted its anti-inflammatory effects. Although resveratrol did not affect AMP-activated kinase activation or reactive oxygen species production, it slightly suppressed NF-B translocation when cells were stimulated with heat-killed P.gingivalis.
ConclusionResveratrol suppressed the inflammatory responses of P.gingivalis-stimulated HGECs, probably by inhibiting NF-B signaling but independent of SIRT1.

Although periodontitis has been implicated as a risk factor for various systemic diseases, the precise mechanisms by which periodontitis induces systemic disease remain to be elucidated. We have previously revealed that repeated oral administration of Porphyromonas gingivalis elicits endotoxemia via changes in the gut microbiota of the ileum, and thereby induces systemic inflammation and insulin resistance. However, it is not clear to what extent a single administration of P. gingivalis could affect gut microbiota composition, gut barrier function, and subsequent influx of gut microbiota into the liver. Therefore, in the present study, C57BL/6 mice were orally administered P. gingivalis (strain W83) once and compared to sham-inoculated mice. The phylogenetic structure and diversity of microbial communities in the gut and liver were analyzed by pyrosequencing the 16S ribosomal RNA genes. Serum endotoxin activity was determined by a Limulus amebocyte lysate test. Gene expression in the intestine and expression of 16S rRNA genes in the blood and liver were examined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Administration of P. gingivalis significantly altered gut microbiota, with an increased proportion of phylum Bacteroidetes, a decreased proportion of phylum Firmicutes, and increased serum endotoxin levels. In the intestinal tissues, gene expression of tjp-1 and occludin, which are involved in intestinal permeability, were downregulated. Higher amounts of bacterial DNA were detected in the liver of infected mice. Importantly, changes in gut microbiota preceded systemic inflammatory changes. These results further support the idea that disturbance of the gut microbiota composition by orally derived periodontopathic bacteria may be a causal mechanism linking periodontitis and systemic disease.

TRPM8 is the molecular sensor for cold; however, the physiological role of TRPM8+ neurons at mucosal surfaces is unclear. Here we evaluated the distribution and peptidergic properties of TRPM8+ fibers in naive and inflamed colons, as well as their role in mucosal inflammation. We found that Trpm8(-/-) mice were hypersusceptible to dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis, and that Trpm8(-/-) CD11c+ DCs (dendritic cells) showed hyperinflammatory responses to toll-like receptor (TLR) stimulation. This was phenocopied in calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor-deficient mice, but not in substance P receptor-deficient mice, suggesting a functional link between TRPM8 and CGRP. The DSS phenotype of CGRP receptor-deficient mice could be adoptively transferred to wild-type (WT) mice, suggesting that CGRP suppresses the colitogenic activity of bone marrow-derived cells. TRPM8+ mucosal fibers expressed CGRP in human and mouse colon. Furthermore, neuronal CGRP contents were increased in colons from naive and DSS-treated Trpm8(-/-) mice, suggesting deficient CGRP release in the absence of TRPM8 triggering. Finally, treatment of Trpm8(-/-) mice with CGRP reversed their hyperinflammatory phenotype. These results suggest that TRPM8 signaling in mucosal sensory neurons is indispensable for the regulation of innate inflammatory responses via the neuropeptide CGRP.

Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1), a member of the calcium-permeable thermosensitive transient receptor potential superfamily, is a sensor of thermal and chemical stimuli. TRPV1 is activated by noxious heat (&gt; 43 degrees C), acidic conditions (pH &lt; 6.6), capsaicin, and endovanilloids. This pain receptor was discovered on nociceptive fibers in the peripheral nervous system. TRPV1 was recently found to be expressed by non-neuronal cells, such as epithelial cells. The oral gingival epithelium is exposed to multiple noxious stimuli, including heat and acids derived from endogenous and exogenous substances; however, whether gingival epithelial cells (GECs) express TRPV1 is unknown. We show that both TRPV1 mRNA and protein are expressed by GECs. Capsaicin, a TRPV1 agonist, elevated intracellular Ca2+ levels in the gingival epithelial cell line, epi 4. Moreover, TRPV1 activation in epi 4 cells accelerated proliferation. These responses to capsaicin were inhibited by a specific TRPV1 antagonist, SB-366791. We also observed GEC proliferation in capsaicin-treated mice in vivo. No effects were observed on GEC apoptosis by epithelial TRPV1 signaling. To examine the molecular mechanisms underlying this proliferative effect, we performed complementary (c)DNA microarray analysis of capsaicin-stimulated epi 4 cells. Compared with control conditions, 227 genes were up-regulated and 232 genes were down-regulated following capsaicin stimulation. Several proliferation-related genes were validated by independent experiments. Among them, fibroblast growth factor-17 and neuregulin 2 were significantly up-regulated in capsaicin-treated epi 4 cells. Our results suggest that functional TRPV1 is expressed by GECs and contributes to the regulation of cell proliferation.

The intestinal epithelium has a high rate of turnover, and dysregulation of pathways that regulate regeneration can lead to tumor development; however, the negative regulators of oncogenic events in the intestinal epithelium are not fully understood. Here we identified a feedback loop between the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a known mediator of proliferation, and the transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 1 (TRPV1), in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). We found that TRPV1 was expressed by IECs and was intrinsically activated upon EGFR stimulation. Subsequently, TRPV1 activation inhibited EGFR-induced epithelial cell proliferation via activation of Ca2+/calpain and resulting activation of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). In a murine model of multiple intestinal neoplasia (Apc(Min/+) mice), TRPV1 deficiency increased adenoma formation, and treatment of these animals with an EGFR kinase inhibitor reversed protumorigenic phenotypes, supporting a functional association between TRPV1 and EGFR signaling in IECs. Administration of a TRPV1 agonist suppressed intestinal tumorigenesis in Apc(Min/+) mice, similar to - as well as in conjunction with - a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, which suggests that targeting both TRPV1 and COX-2 has potential as a therapeutic approach for tumor prevention. Our findings implicate TRPV1 as a regulator of growth factor signaling in the intestinal epithelium through activation of PTP1B and subsequent suppression of intestinal tumorigenesis.

Objective: The present study was designed to investigate whether titres of antibody to two strains of Porphyromonas gingivalis, FDC381 and SU63, are associated with serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in Japanese periodontitis patients.
Design: Forty-nine patients with moderate to advanced periodontitis and 40 periodontally healthy control subjects were included in this study. hs-CRP levels and antibody titres to P. gingivalis were measured at baseline and reassessment 3-4 months after periodontal treatment in periodontitis patients as well as at the time of examination in the periodontally healthy subjects. Further, the effect of periodontal therapy, including surgical treatment and use of antibacterials on both markers, was analysed in patients.
Results: hs-CRP levels and antibody titres to P. gingivalis were higher in periodontitis patients than in control subjects, and they significantly decreased following periodontal treatment (p &lt; 0.005). Also, a significant decrease in hs-CRP levels as a result of periodontal treatment was found in patients with hs-CRP levels &gt;1 mgl(-1) at baseline (p &lt; 0.005). Probing depth, clinical attachment level, and alveolar bone loss in patients were significantly associated with a higher antibody titre to both strains of P. gingivalis (p &lt; 0.05), but were not related to hs-CRP levels. No relationship was observed between hs-CRP levels and tertiles as defined by titres of antibody to P. gingivalis strains FDC381 and SU63.
Conclusions: Our data indicate that hs-CRP levels were independent of antibody titres to P. gingivalis in Japanese periodontitis patients. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Porphyromonas gingivalis, an oral Gram-negative bacterium, acts as a virulence factor for periodontal disease. Although P. gingivalis LPS does not induce proinflammatory cytokines as strongly as Escherichia coli LPS, it is still able to exploit negative Toll-like receptor (TLR) regulatory pathways and facilitate pathogen persistence. Recent reports suggest that microRNAs (miRNAs) are also involved in the regulation of TLR signaling. Here, we demonstrate that P. gingivalis LPS strongly induces miRNA-146a expression in THP-1 cells and THP-1-derived macrophages. However, the inhibition or overexpression of miR-146a, through the transfection of a specific inhibitor or precursor, respectively, had little effect on cytokine production in macrophages stimulated with P. gingivalis LPS. Moreover, the expression of interleukin-1 associated-kinase-1 (IRAK-1) and tumor-necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factor-6 (TRAF6), potential target molecules of miR-146a, were not affected by the stimulation with P. gingivalis LPS. Because TLR signaling induces various negative regulators, these results call into question the role of miR-146a in cells stimulated with TLR ligands. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The role of interleukin (IL)-17 in cellular communication in inflammation has been well described, and a positive correlation between the severity of periodontitis and the level of IL-17 was reported. Although epithelial cells are a major target of IL-17, little is known about the effect of IL-17 on the production of chemokines by human gingival epithelial cells (HGECs). We evaluated the effects of IL-17 on the expression of CXCL8 and CCL2 by HGECs using quantitative real-time PCR and ELISA. In addition, the role of the nuclear factor (NF)-kappa B signalling pathway in the IL-17-mediated expression of chemokines was assessed using a specific inhibitor. Stimulation with IL-17 up-regulated the expression of CXCL8 mRNA but not of CCL2 mRNA in HGECs, whereas tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) elevated the expression of mRNA for both chemokines. Stimulation with IL-17 up-regulated the secretion of CXCL8 protein, but not the secretion of CCL2 protein. The effect of IL-17 on CXCL8 production was suppressed using an anti-IL-17R Ig, suggesting a role for a specific receptor-ligand interaction. Inhibition of the NF-kappa B signalling pathway demonstrated that NF-kappa B activation is required for the CXCL8 expression in HGECs. In conclusion, IL-17 is involved in the regulation of the innate immune response in HGECs by inducing CXCL8 production.

Background: Recent studies have suggested that periodontal disease increases the risk of atherothrombotic disease. Atherosclerosis has been characterized as a chronic inflammatory response to cholesterol deposition in the arteries. Although several studies have suggested that certain periodontopathic bacteria accelerate atherogenesis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice, the mechanistic link between cholesterol accumulation and periodontal infection-induced inflammation is largely unknown.
Methodology/Principal Findings: We orally infected C57BL/6 and C57BL/6. KOR-Apoe(shl) (B6.Apoeshl) mice with Porphyromonas gingivalis, which is a representative periodontopathic bacterium, and evaluated atherogenesis, gene expression in the aorta and liver and systemic inflammatory and lipid profiles in the blood. Furthermore, the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from P. gingivalis on cholesterol transport and the related gene expression was examined in peritoneal macrophages. Alveolar bone resorption and elevation of systemic inflammatory responses were induced in both strains. Despite early changes in the expression of key genes involved in cholesterol turnover, such as liver X receptor and ATP-binding cassette A1, serum lipid profiles did not change with short-term infection. Long-term infection was associated with a reduction in serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol but not with the development of atherosclerotic lesions in wild-type mice. In B6.Apoeshl mice, long-term infection resulted in the elevation of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), LDL and total cholesterols in addition to the reduction of HDL cholesterol. This shift in the lipid profile was concomitant with a significant increase in atherosclerotic lesions. Stimulation with P. gingivalis LPS induced the change of cholesterol transport via targeting the expression of LDL receptor-related genes and resulted in the disturbance of regulatory mechanisms of the cholesterol level in macrophages.
Conclusions/Significance: Periodontal infection itself does not cause atherosclerosis, but it accelerates it by inducing systemic inflammation and deteriorating lipid metabolism, particularly when underlying hyperlidemia or susceptibility to hyperlipidemia exists, and it may contribute to the development of coronary heart disease.

Aim: Limited epidemiological studies have investigated the relationship between ischemic vascular disease and periodontitis in non-Western populations. We investigated this relationship in a Japanese cohort by measuring serum titers of antibodies to periodontopathic bacteria.
Methods: As part of the Tokamachi-Nakasato cohort study, we followed up 7021 participants regarding cardiovascular events over 5 years, and observed 99 ischemic vascular events: 66 cerebral infarctions and 33 cases of ischemic heart disease (IHD). For a nested case-control study, we selected 495 sex-and age-matched control subjects. Conditional logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of ischemic vascular events associated with antibody titers to Porphyromonas gingivalis FDC381 and SU63. Multivariable models were adjusted for traditional cardiovascular risk factors using propensity scores.
Results: The highest tertile category of antibody titers to P. gingivalis FDC381 in men was significantly associated with an increased risk of cerebral infarction in only the crude model. The 2nd and 3rd tertile categories of antibody titers to P. gingivalis SU63 were significantly associated with an increased risk of cerebral infarction in men (multivariable ORs (95% CIs) were 7.12 (1.51-33.5) and 9.03 (1.97-41.5), respectively). The association was not appreciably modified when we further adjusted for serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels. Antibody titers to P. gingivalis were not dose-dependently associated with the risk of IHD.
Conclusion: High serum antibody titers to P. gingivalis SU63 could be a predictor of cerebral infarction in Japanese men independent of traditional risk factors and inflammation.

Background and Objective:
Recent studies have revealed that negative regulatory molecules, including interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-M (IRAK-M), control the overactivation of Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling. The role of IRAK-M in human gingival epithelial cells (HGECs), which express TLRs, remains unclear. The present study examined the role of IRAK-M on interleukin-8 and macrophage chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) expression in HGECs stimulated with Porphyromonas gingivalis and TLR ligands.
Material and Methods:
Primary HGECs and an SV40 T-antigen-immortalized HGEC line (epi 4) were stimulated with live or heat-killed P. gingivalis, P. gingivalis lipopolysaccharide or the synthetic lipopeptide PAM(3)CSK(4), and subsequent expression of IRAK-M, interleukin-8 and MCP-1 was evaluated at the mRNA and protein levels. The effects of IRAK-M on interleukin-8 and MCP-1 expressions were evaluated by IRAK-M-specific RNA interference (RNAi)-based loss-of-function assay.
Results:
All tested stimulants up-regulated the expression of IRAK-M in HGECs. The P. gingivalis lipopolysaccharide or PAM(3)CSK(4) increased MCP-1 expression, whereas live P. gingivalis down-regulated the MCP-1 expression in HGECs. However, IRAK-M RNAi increased the expression of MCP-1 irrespective of up- or down-regulation mediated by the respective stimulants. Interleukin-8 gene expression, up-regulated by all tested stimulants, was further enhanced by IRAK-M RNAi. In contrast, IRAK-M RNAi had no effect on the interleukin-8 protein levels, irrespective of the stimulant, indicating that post-translational modification, not IRAK-M, controls interleukin-8 protein expression.
Conclusion:
Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-M appeared to have distinct regulatory roles on the interleukin-8 and MCP-1 produced by HGECs, further suggesting an important role for interleukin-8 in the immune reponse to periodontopathic bacteria.

Background and Objective: Although an elevation in the concentration of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) as a result of periodontal infection may account for an increased risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD), the effect of periodontal infection on the level of hs-CRP in an otherwise healthy Japanese population has not yet been reported. The aim of the present study was to confirm, on a larger scale, our previous pilot study findings that both chronic periodontitis and subsequent periodontal treatment alter the serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha).
Material and Methods: The concentrations of serum hs-CRP, IL-6 and TNF-alpha were measured in 78 periodontitis patients at baseline and at re-assessment, and in 40 periodontally healthy subjects at the time of examination.
Results: The concentrations of hs-CRP and IL-6 in the sera of periodontitis patients were significantly higher than those in control subjects. By contrast, the concentration of TNF-alpha was significantly lower in periodontitis patients than in control subjects. Whereas periodontal treatment decreased the levels of serum hs-CRP and IL-6, no such effect was observed for TNF-alpha. When the patients were subdivided into four groups according to their initial concentration of hs-CRP, only the CRP and IL-6 concentrations of the highest quartile group showed a significant reduction following periodontal treatment. No significant difference in the initial clinical parameters was observed in any quartile.
Conclusion: Although periodontal infection does affect the concentration of hs-CRP and IL-6 in serum, a subgroup of patients exist who are highly susceptible to an increased risk of CHD associated with periodontitis, suggesting that there may be subjects who have an elevated risk of CHD independent of susceptibility to periodontal tissue destruction per se.

Background: Individuals with periodontitis have elevated serum levels of IL-6 and C-reactive protein and have been reported to have a significantly increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The transcription factor early growth response factor 1 (Egr-1) has been shown to play an important role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. However, it is not known whether periodontal infection affects the expression of Egr-1 and subsequent endothelial cells expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, a key molecule of leukocyte chemoattraction into vessels. Methods: Human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) were stimulated with either sonicated extracts from Porphyromonas gingivalis strains 381 or SU63, or a combination of IL-6 and soluble IL-6 receptor (IL-6/sIL-6R). The expression of Egr-1, and subsequently MCP-1, was then analyzed. The role of Egr-1 on MCP-1 expression was analyzed by siRNA transfection. Results: Both P. gingivalis anti-gens and IL-6/sIL-6R stimulations upregulated the expression of Egr-1, with a more robust effect by IL-6/sIL-6R. Increased expression of Egr-1 coincided with MCP-1 production, and Egr-1 downregulation by siRNA suppressed this effect. Conclusion: These results clearly suggest that periodontal infection has the potential to affect HCAECs and hence contribute to the development of subsequent atherosclerosis. Copyright (C) 2009 S.

Background: Encloplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is the cell response by activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway in a variety of conditions such as infection and aging. The UPR may be associated with the pathogenesis of periodontal disease because of the induction of apoptosis and activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B), a transcription factor for pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, the relationship between ER stress and periodontal disease is yet to be determined.
Methods: The expression of UPR-related molecules was analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. respectively and compared between gingivitis and periodontitis. The gene expressions were also analyzed for macrophages stimulated with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) or IFN-gamma.
Results: The expression levels of UPR-related genes and HSP60 were significantly higher in periodontitis compared with gingivitis lesions. However, LPS from P. gingivalis but not E. coli or IFN-gamma failed to up-regulate the gene expression in macrophage.
Conclusions: An inflammatory response may have profound effect on the UPR response, particularly in periodontitis patients. Considering the histological nature of periodontitis and the link between UPR and inflammatory responses via NF-kappa B, ER stress in B cells could be another pathological mechanism underlying periodontal disease.

Background: A number of different theories have been postulated to explain the progression of gingivitis to periodontitis in the context of the Th1/Th2 paradigm. However, no consistent results have been obtained. Th17, a new T-cell subset producing IL-17, which is implicated in many aspect of inflammatory tissue destruction, overcomes many of the discrepant findings in the studies related to the Th1/Th2 hypothesis. We compared the gene expression profile of Th17-related molecules in gingivitis and periodontitis lesions showing distinct clinical entities.
Methods: Gingival tissue samples were obtained from 23 gingivitis and 24 periodontitis tissues. The gene expression was measured by using quantitative real-time PCR for IL-17A, IL-17F, CCR4, CCR6, IL-12 p35 and IL-23 p19. The difference of gene expressions between gingivitis and periodontitis was analyzed by Mann-Whitney U-test. Correlations between each gene expression were also analyzed.
Results: The expression level of IL-17A was higher than that of IL-17F and a significant difference in expression between gingivitis and periodontitis was observed only for IL-17A. CCR4 and CCR6 tended to be higher in periodontitis compared with gingivitis, although the differences were not statistically significant. Whereas the gene expression of IL-12 p35 was significantly higher in periodontitis compared with gingivitis, that of IL-23 p19 was not different between the two diseases.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates the elevated expression of IL-17 and IL-12 in periodontitis, i.e.. the tissue destruction form of periodontal diseases, as compared with gingivitis, and provides new insight into the T-cell mediated immunopathogenesis of periodontal disease.

偏性嫌気性のグラム陰性桿菌であるPorphyromonas gingivalisは、ヒトの歯周ポケット全域に分布し、歯周病原性細菌の1種として重要な役割を果たしている。歯周病が糖尿病や動脈硬化などといったメタボリックシンドローム関連疾患の原因となることが、様々な疫学的調査および動物実験により明らかになっているが、疾患発症のメカニズムについては不明である。近年、新たなメカニズムとして、嚥下されたP.gingivalisが腸管の細菌叢の変化とそれに伴う代謝性内毒素血症を引き起こすことで肝臓・脂肪組織に炎症を誘導し、インスリン抵抗性を惹起することが報告された。しかしながら、宿主の胃を通過する際にP.gingivalisが生存可能であるのかについては未解明である。今回、更なる詳細なメカニズムの解明を目的として、P.gingivalis ATCC 33277株の浮遊細菌およびバイオフィルムに対する人工胃液の影響について解析を行った。浮遊細菌に対して各pHの人工胃液を作用させた結果、pH3、5ならびに7処理群ではP.gingivalisのコロニー形成が認められたが、pH1処理群ではコロニーは形成されなかった。一方、バイオフィルムではpH1の人工胃液処理群においても生菌が認められた。以上の結果より、嚥下されたP.gingivalisが生菌の状態で胃を通過し、下部消化管まで到達することが示唆された。(著者抄録)
