Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, Periodontitis has been accepted as a risk factor of Alzheimer’s disease. In the current study, we investigate the possibility and the mechanism of our hypothesis, which「Periodontitis, as a long term of low-grade systemic inflammation, can induces a breakdown of meningeal-glial protective system in brain, result in neuroinflammation-related memory loss」. We found that Periodontists bacteria (Porphyromonas Gingivalis, PG) and it LPS (PGLPS) induced a TLR2 dependent inflammatory mediator production by meningeal cells to activate microglia, resulting in impairment of learning and memory in the middle-aged mice. Moreover, the amplifying of microglia response with aging is a risk factor for neuroinflammation in Aβ dependent manner in the brain of Alzheimer’s disease.
