| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) has the potential to progress to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Effective therapy has still not been established. In the present study, exacerbation mechanisms of inflammation and fibrosis caused by P.gingivalis (Pg)-odontogenic infection were examined. Upregulation of TLR2 in steatotic hepatocytes (HEP) and increase of macrophages possessing TLR2 played important roles in exacerbation of inflammation through activating TLR2 pathway by Pg-LPS. On the other hand, TGFb1, which was produced by HEP/hepatic stellate cells (HSC) with Pg-infection, promoted liver fibrosis by activating HSC. Detection of Pg in liver from NASH patients were related with high serum level of hyaluronic acid (a serum maker for liver fibrosis) and advanced fibrosis. Therefore, preventing and/or eliminating P.g. infection by dental therapy may have a beneficial impact on management of NASH.
