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., 学位の種類: 博士(歯学). 報告番号: 甲第4007号. 学位記番号: 新大院博(歯)甲第320号. 学位授与年月日: 平成27年3月23日, Scientific Reports. 2014, 4, 4828., 新大院博(歯)甲第320号}, title = {Oral pathobiont induces systemic inflammation and metabolic changes associated with alteration of gut microbiota}, year = {2015} }
