Outline of Final Research Achievements

Pentraxin3 is one of the elements which participate in progress of atherosclerosis is produced directly from vascular endothelial cell and macrophage by an inflammatory stimulus. It was considered that periodontal inflammation could influenced on atherosclerosis, beacause of PTX3 production by pg-LPS stimutation in human monocytic cells. In addition to pg-LPS challenge, hyperglycemia have an effect on the expression of pentraxin3. It suggested that periodontal inflammation may affect systemic disease.
