  • Periodontitis decreases the antiatherogenic potency of high density lipoprotein.
  • 2004
  • Ingår i: Journal of Lipid Research. - 0022-2275 .- 1539-7262. ; 45:1, s. 139-147

    • Periodontitis, a consequence of persistent bacterial infection and chronic inflammation, has been suggested to predict coronary heart disease (CHD). The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of periodontitis on HDL structure and antiatherogenic function in cholesterol efflux in vitro. HDL was isolated from 30 patients (age 43.6 +/- 6.1 years, mean +/- SD) with periodontitis before and after (3.2 +/- 1.4 months) periodontal treatment. The capacity of HDL for cholesterol efflux from macrophages (RAW 264.7), HDL composition, and key proteins of HDL metabolism were determined. After periodontal treatment, phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) activity was 6.2% (P<0.05) lower, and serum HDL cholesterol concentration, PLTP mass, and cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity were 10.7% (P<0.001), 7.1% (P=0.078), and 19.4% (P<0.001) higher, respectively. The mean HDL2/HDL3 ratio increased from 2.16 +/- 0.87 to 3.56 +/- 0.48 (P<0.05). HDL total phospholipid mass and sphingomyelin-phosphatidylcholine ratio were 7.4% (P<0.05) and 36.8% (P<0.001) higher, respectively. The HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux tended to be higher after periodontal treatment; interestingly, this increase was significant (P<0.05) among patients whose C-reactive protein decreased (53.7% reduction, P=0.015) and who were positive by PCR for Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans. These results suggest that periodontitis causes similar, but milder, changes in HDL metabolism than those that occur during the acute-phase response and that periodontitis may diminish the antiatherogenic potency of HDL, thus increasing the risk for CHD.

  • Severe periodontitis enhances macrophage activation via increased serum lipopolysaccharide.
  • 2004
  • Ingår i: Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology. - 1079-5642 .- 1524-4636. ; 24:11, s. 2174-2180

    • OBJECTIVE: In periodontitis, overgrowth of Gram-negative bacteria and access of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to circulation may activate macrophages leading to foam cell formation. We investigated whether periodontal treatment affects proatherogenic properties of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and, thus, macrophage activation. METHODS AND RESULTS: LDL was isolated and characterized before and after treatment from 30 systemically healthy patients with periodontitis. Production of cytokines and LDL cholesteryl ester (LDL-CE) uptake by macrophages (RAW 264.7) was determined. Baseline periodontal variables correlated positively with serum LPS and C-reactive protein concentrations, as well as macrophage cytokine production and LDL-CE uptake. LPS concentration correlated positively with serum concentration of oxidized LDL and cytokine production. Higher cytokine production and LDL-CE uptake were induced by LDL isolated from patients with elevated number of affected teeth before treatment. Patients with serum LPS concentrations above the median (0.87 ng/mL) at baseline had higher serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (baseline versus after treatment, 1.30+/-0.19 versus 1.48+/-0.28 mmol/L; P=0.002) and HDL/LDL ratio (0.31+/-0.01 versus 0.34+/-0.10; P=0.048), but lower serum LPS concentration (1.70+/-0.49 versus 0.98+/-0.50 ng/mL; P=0.004) and autoantibodies to beta2-glycoprotein I (0.11+/-0.06 versus 0.09+/-0.04 ELISA units; P=0.022) after treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that in systemically healthy patients, the infected/inflamed area in periodontitis is associated with macrophage activation via increased serum LPS concentration.

  • Cytokine and chemokine receptor profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells during treatment with infliximab in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis
  • 2004
  • Ingår i: Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. - : BMJ. - 0003-4967 .- 1468-2060. ; 63:6, s. 681-687
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Objectives: To analyse immunological changes during treatment with a monoclonal anti-tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) antibody, infliximab, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: 25 patients with RA and 5 patients with other arthritides were studied during the first 6 weeks of treatment with infliximab. At the start of treatment and after 2 and 6 weeks, spontaneous expression of CCR3 and CCR5 on peripheral blood T cells and monocytes was studied by flow cytometry. The secretion and mRNA expression of interferon γ (IFNγ), interleukin (IL)4, IL5, and TNFα from phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells was measured with an ELISA and RT-PCR. Plasma levels of C reactive protein, serum amyloid protein A, rheumatoid factor, and antibodies to filaggrin and citrullinated cyclic peptide were measured with an ELISA. Results: The number of CD4 T cells and CD14 monocytes expressing CCR3 (p = 0.013, p = 0.009, respectively) and CD8 T cells expressing CCR5 (p = 0.040) as well as PHA stimulated secretion of IL4 and IFNγ (p<0.05) increased during treatment in patients with RA. 15 (60%) patients with RA achieved clinical response (at least ACR20) during the first 2 weeks. The number of T cells expressing CCR3 and CCR5 was higher before treatment in non-responders than in responders (p<0.05). The number of T cells increased in responders. Conclusion: Increase in secretion of Th1 and Th2 cytokines together with induced expression of chemokine receptors on T cells and monocytes suggest restoration of peripheral cell mediated immunity and blockade of the accumulation of inflammatory cells in joints as response to treatment.

  • Antibodies to periodontal pathogens are associated with coronary heart disease.
  • 2003

    • OBJECTIVE: We analyzed the association of coronary heart disease (CHD) and serology of periodontitis in a random sample (n=1163) of men (aged 45 to 74 years) by determining serum IgG-antibodies to Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis. METHODS AND RESULTS: CHD (n=159) was more prevalent among edentulous than dentate subjects (19.8% and 12.1%, P=0.003). In the dentate population, CHD was more common among subjects seropositive for P. gingivalis compared with those seronegative (14.0% and 9.7%, P=0.029). Accordingly, CHD was more prevalent in subjects with a high combined antibody response than those with a low response (17.4% and 11.1%, P=0.026). When adjusted for age and several CHD risk factors, the subjects with a high combined antibody response had an odds ratio of 1.5 (95% CI, 0.95 to 2.50, P=0.077) for prevalent CHD. In a linear regression model, the combined antibody response was directly associated with prevalent CHD (P=0.046) and inversely with serum HDL cholesterol concentration (P=0.050). CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, edentulousness and serum antibodies to major periodontal pathogens were associated with CHD. This suggests that periodontal infection or response of the host against the infection may play a role in the pathogenesis of CHD.
