- Epidemiological studies have shown that periodontal disease is a risk factor for vascular disease.
- We reported that SHRSP was vascular disease model due to increasing oxidative stress.
- We found that P. gingivalis-induced alveolar bone loss in SHRSP.
- SHRSP's bone loss was significantly increased when compared to normotensive rat.
Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is one of the prominent periodontal pathogens and is the most important bacteria involved in the onset and exacerbation of periodontitis. P. gingivalis is an anaerobic, Gram-negative coccobacillus that plays a role in the progression of periodontal disease by promoting alveolar bone resorption. The aim of the present study was to examine P. gingivalis-induced osteoclastic bone resorption in the stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP), in which oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is increased.In the present study, we used animals orally challenged with P. gingivalis as a chronic inflammation model. Horizontal bone loss around the maxillary molars was assessed morphometrically. Animals were divided into four groups: (1) P. gingivalis-non-infected Wister Kyoto Rat (WKY), (2) orally challenged with P. gingivalis WKY (WKYÂ +Â Pg), (3) P. gingivalis-non-infected SHRSP, and (4) orally challenged with P. gingivalis SHRSP (SHRSPÂ +Â Pg).Alveolar bone resorption was significantly increased in the orally challenged with P. gingivalis groups, and was accelerated in the SHRSP group. Histological analysis revealed that the infiltration of inflammatory cells was absent in all groups. However, the infiltration of osteoclasts was observed in the SHRSPÂ +Â Pg and SHRSP groups.We examined P. gingivalis-induced alveolar bone loss in both the SHRSP and WKY. The results obtained demonstrated that P. gingivalis-induced alveolar bone loss would be involved in hypertension and stroke animal model, such as SHRSP and/or periodontal disease.
