Periodontal disease induced by periodontopathic bacteria like Porphyromonas gingivalis is demonstrated to increase the risk of metabolic, inflammatory, and autoimmune disorders. Although precise mechanisms for this connection have not been elucidated, we have proposed mechanisms by which orally administered periodontopathic bacteria might induce changes in gut microbiota composition, barrier function, and immune system, resulting in an increased risk of diseases characterized by low-grade systemic inflammation. Accumulating evidence suggests a profound effect of altered gut metabolite profiles on overall host health. Therefore, it is possible that P. gingivalis can affect these metabolites. To test this, C57BL/6 mice were administered with P. gingivalis W83 orally twice a week for 5 weeks and compared with sham-inoculated mice. The gut microbial communities were analyzed by pyrosequencing the 16S rRNA genes. Inferred metagenomic analysis was used to determine the relative abundance of KEGG pathways encoded in the gut microbiota. Serum metabolites were analyzed using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics coupled with multivariate statistical analyses. Oral administration of P. gingivalis induced a change in gut microbiota composition. The distributions of metabolic pathways differed between the two groups, including those related to amino acid metabolism and, in particular, the genes for phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis. Also, alanine, glutamine, histidine, tyrosine, and phenylalanine were significantly increased in the serum of P. gingivalis-administered mice. In addition to altering immune modulation and gut barrier function, oral administration of P. gingivalis affects the host's metabolic profile. This supports our hypothesis regarding a gut-mediated systemic pathology resulting from periodontal disease.IMPORTANCE Increasing evidence suggest that alterations of the gut microbiome underlie metabolic disease pathology by modulating gut metabolite profiles. We have shown that orally administered Porphyromonas gingivalis, a representative periodontopathic bacterium, alters the gut microbiome; that may be a novel mechanism by which periodontitis increases the risk of various diseases. Given the association between periodontal disease and metabolic diseases, it is possible that P. gingivalis can affect the metabolites. Metabolite profiling analysis demonstrated that several amino acids related to a risk of developing diabetes and obesity were elevated in P. gingivalis-administered mice. Our results revealed that the increased risk of various diseases by P. gingivalis might be mediated at least in part by alteration of metabolic profiles. The findings should add new insights into potential links between periodontal disease and systemic disease for investigators in periodontal disease and also for investigators in the field of other diseases, such as metabolic 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.

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.

Sitafloxacin (STFX) is a newly developed quinolone that has robust antimicrobial activity against periodontopathic bacteria. We previously reported that oral administration of STFX during supportive periodontal therapy was as effective as conventional mechanical debridement under local anesthesia microbiologically and clinically for 3 months. The aim of the present study was to examine the short-term and long-term microbiological and clinical effects of systemic STFX and azithromycin (AZM) on active periodontal pockets during supportive periodontal therapy. Fifty-one patients receiving supportive periodontal therapy were randomly allocated to the STFX group (200 mg/day of STFX for 5 days) or the AZM group (500 mg/day of AZM for 3 days). The microbiological and clinical parameters were examined until 12 months after the systemic administration of each drug. The concentration of each drug in periodontal pockets and the antimicrobial susceptibility of clinical isolates were also analyzed. The proportions of red complex bacteria, i.e., Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, and Tannerella forsythia, which are the representative periodontopathic bacteria, were significantly reduced at 1 month and remained lower at 12 months than those at baseline in both the STFX and AZM groups. Clinical parameters were significantly improved over the 12-month period in both groups. An increase in the MIC of AZM against clinical isolates was observed in the AZM group. These results indicate that monotherapy with systemic STFX and AZM might be an alternative treatment during supportive periodontal therapy in patients for whom invasive mechanical treatment is inappropriate.

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.

Periodontitis has been implicated as a risk factor for metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes, atherosclerotic vascular diseases, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Although bacteremias from dental plaque and/or elevated circulating inflammatory cytokines emanating from the inflamed gingiva are suspected mechanisms linking periodontitis and these diseases, direct evidence is lacking. We hypothesize that disturbances of the gut microbiota by swallowed bacteria induce a metabolic endotoxemia leading metabolic disorders. To investigate this hypothesis, changes in the gut microbiota, insulin and glucose intolerance, and levels of tissue inflammation were analysed in mice after oral administration of Porphyromonas gingivalis, a representative periodontopathogens. Pyrosequencing revealed that the population belonging to Bacteroidales was significantly elevated in P. gingivalis-administered mice which coincided with increases in insulin resistance and systemic inflammation. In P. gingivalis-administered mice blood endotoxin levels tended to be higher, whereas gene expression of tight junction proteins in the ileum was significantly decreased. These results provide a new paradigm for the interrelationship between periodontitis and systemic diseases.

Objectives: This study aims to clarify whether gingival fibroblasts produce periostin in response to Th2 cytokines which are elevated in periodontitis lesion and, if so, whether periostin affects the inflammatory response and matrix-protein metabolism.
Design: Human gingival fibroblasts, periodontal ligament cells and the gingival epithelial cell line epi4 were stimulated with interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-13, tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Periostin expression was analysed by real-time polymerase chain-reaction (PCR) and Western blotting. The expression of the IL-4 receptor alpha-chain was evaluated by immunocytochemistry. The effect of periostin on the production of inflammatory cytokines and the expression of matrix protein-related genes was analysed by real-time PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Results: While IL-4 and IL-13 significantly induced periostin production in gingival fibroblasts and periodontal ligament cells, no effect was observed in epi4 cells. No stimulatory effect of TNF-alpha or P. gingivalis LPS on the production of periostin was observed. The effect of periostin on the production of inflammatory cytokines was weak in gingival fibroblasts; however, little or no effect was observed on periodontal ligament cells or epi4 cells. No significant effect of periostin on the expression of matrix protein-related genes was found.
Conclusion: The results suggest that gingival fibroblasts may be a source of periostin in periodontitis lesions but periostin has only a limited role either in the inflammatory response or in matrix-protein metabolism. Thus, the role of periostin in the cellular interaction between epithelial and mesenchymal cells in gingiva may be distinct from that of skin. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
