| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Non-insulin-dependent type II diabetes mellitus causes serious complications, such as hypertension and arteriosclerosis, as well as diabetic periodontitis. In the present study, a model of type II diabetes periodontitis was developed using leptin receptor-deficient mice (db/db mice), and the mechanism of diabetic periodontitis in the model was clarified. As a model of experimental periodontitis, LPS was injected into the first right mandibular molar and mesial buccal gingiva of both db/db mice and wild type mice three times per week, for four weeks. We found that the alveolar bone resorption due to the large number of osteoclasts was significantly higher in the db/db group than in the WT group. We also clarified that leptin inhibited osteoclast formation by inhibiting the expression of RANK of the osteoclast outrider cell and c-fms, as well as by inhibiting the rise in the expression of RANKL of osteoblasts .
