Abstract:
Objective: To observe influence of porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg, a main pathogenic bacterium of periodontal disease) on vascular intima adhesion factors and metalloproteinases. Methods: A total of 60 rats were randomly and equally divided into blank control group, Pg low dose group (Pg 2ml) and Pg high dose group (Pg 5ml) according to number table. The latter two groups respectively received intramuscular injection of corresponding dose Pg every three days without antibiotic intervention for 12 weeks. Then their venous blood was taken to measure levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 and MMP-9 in three groups. Results: Compared with blank control group, there were significant increase in contents of ICAM-1 [（175.79±14.30）ng/ml vs.（182.62±15.07）ng/ml, （189.39±14.93）ng/ml]、VCAM-1 [（256.49±37.17）ng/ml vs.（271.58±32.85）ng/ml , (286.66±30.66)ng/ml] 、 MMP-3 [（3.23±0.69）ng/ml vs.（3.61±0.82）ng/ml, (3.97±0.83)ng/ml]及 MMP-9 [（1.30±0.39）mg/L vs.（1.48±0.39）mg/L, 1.67±0.45）mg/L ]（P <0.05，or <0.01），Compared with Pg low dose group, there were significant increase in levels of above indexes in Pg high dose group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Porphyromonas gingivalis can significantly increase serum contents of vascular intima adhesion factors and metalloproteinases, aggravating pathological development of coronary heart disease.
