| Research Abstract |
Our previous epidemiologic studies suggested that periodontal disease is closely related to obesity and glucose tolerance. Since the level of adiponectin, an adipocyte-derived cytokine, in plasma had been reported to decrease in obese and type 2 diabetes patients, we explored the role of adiponectin in the etiology of periodontitis by using the D clone of RAW 264, which clone exhibits highly efficient osteoclast formation, to determine whether adiponectin acts as a regulatory molecule in osteoclast formation stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of periodontopathic bacteria.
We observed that adiponectin acted as a potent inhibitor of osteoclast formation stimulated by Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) ligand and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL). Since NF-κB is an important transcriptional factor in osteoclast formation, we examined the effect of the adiponectin on its transcriptional activity. Our luciferase assay showed that adiponectin was able to inhibit the TLR4-mediated NF-κB activity in RAW 264 cells. In addition, we observed that the cytokine was actually able to inhibit TLR4-mediated expression of the gene for inducible nitric oxide synthase and production of nitric oxide in the cells. These observations strongly suggest that adiponectin may function as a negative regulator of LPS/RANKL-mediated osteoclast formation in periodontal disease.
