Abstract：
:Periodontitis is a local and systemic inflammatory condition and a risk factor of atherosclerosis, but no studies investigated the effect of a statin on atherogenesis affected by severe periodontitis. In this study, we investigated the effect of rosuvastatin (RSV) on atherogenesis in Apolipoprotein E-deficient mice receiving silk ligature placement around the maxillary second molars. Mice with the ligature placement developed severe periodontitis and vascular inflammation. RSV significantly inhibited the development of periodontitis and vascular inflammation and remarkably blocked the increased lipid deposition and the atherogenic gene expression in the arterial wall and aortic sinus induced by severe periodontitis. To understand the mechanistic effect of RSV on periodontitis-associated atherogenesis, we investigated the in vitro effect of RSV on various effect of TNF-α, a major proinflammatory cytokine for periodontitis and atherogenesis. We found that RSV notably inhibited the TNF-α-induced osteoclast formation, endothelial cell phenotypic changes, foam cell formation, and the expression of CD47 and other oncogenes in arterial smooth muscle cells. Taken together, our study indicates that RSV prevents the exacerbation of atherosclerosis induced periodontitis by inhibiting local, systemic and vascular inflammation, as well as the expression of CD47 from arterial smooth muscle cells in mice.
