| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is through searching the aging effect on Human Aortic Endothelial Cells (HAECs) by serum amyloid A (SAA) stimulation, to find the mechanism to biological aging through SAA from periodontal disease via aggravation of atherosclerosis. The donor stimulated two kinds of HAECs, 21 years old and 81 years old, with SAA and confirmed the expressed SAA receptor gene, and the expression of TLR2 was remarkable in both donors. In addition, adhesion molecules were strongly expressed in HAECs of 81-year-old donor, therefore, inflammatory response was stronger in HAECs of the elderly. Furthermore, in the HAECs experimental group of the 81-year-old donor, many positive cells were found by SA-βGal staining.
From these results, it was supposed that SAA administration induced inflammatory responses and aging responses in the aortic vascular endothelial cells of the elderly via TLR2.
