Chronic periodontal disease(PD) is one of the most frequent inflammatory diseases affecting 11.2% of the world’s population and representing a prominent public health burden. Risk factors for developing PD are cigarette smoking, diabetes, osteoporosis, and infections with periodontal pathogens(i.e. Porphyromonas gingivalis). The pathogenesis of PD is associated with an over-reactive host inflammatory response to P.gingivalis. Current literature implicates hyper-reactive neutrophils as the main immune cell type responsible for the tissue damage and the disease progression. Neutrophils have very short lifespan, controlled by the Bcl-2 family proteins, but it can be significantly prolonged during the infection. Therefore, I hypothesize that hyper-activity and prolonged survival of neutrophils induced by P.gingivalis through the increased expression of pro-survival members of the Bcl-2 family proteins is a novel, yet uncharacterized mechanism strongly contributing to the development of PD.
