Prevotella intermedia lipopolysaccharide stimulates release of nitric oxide by inducing expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase

Abstract: The present study clearly shows that P. intermedia lipopolysaccharide fully induced iNOS expression and NO production in RAW264.7 cells in the absence of other stimuli. The ability of P. intermedia lipopolysaccharide to promote the production of NO may be important in the pathogenesis of inflammatory periodontal disease.

“…These ROS are associated with the microvascular complications of diabetes. It is also known that severe periodontal disease can lead to endothelial dysfunction which is an early event in atherogenesis [15][16][17][18][19]. In this study, the compounding effect of coexisting diabetes and periodontitis on the levels of oxidative stress markers was assessed.…”

“…Cytokines and other bacterial products stimulate the expression of iNOS and interfere with periodontal disease progression (5,11,12). More specifically, bacterial lipopolysaccharide stimulates NO expression in bone, as well as in other tissues (13,14). The aim of the present study was to measure salivary NO levels in individuals with chronic generalized periodontal disease, in its moderate and advanced forms, and to compare these levels with those in a group of individuals without periodontitis.…”

“…Small amounts of NO induced by constitutive NOS are considered beneficial, whereas excess iNOS-induced NO can mediate cell and tissue injury. Periodontal diseases are chronic inflammatory infections associated with gram-negative bacteria, including Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (26), which stimulate macrophages to generate NO (1,7,16). Moreover, NO is increased in inflamed gingival tissue (11,15), and mercaptoethylguanidine, a selective iNOS inhibitor, prevents bone destruction in ligature-induced rodent periodontitis (21).…”
