host responses to periodontal bacteria Flashcards
where does bacteria attach and colonize to induce damge to perio tissues
in the gingival crevice and some invade perio soft tissue
how can a bacteria cause perio damage
- Release substance to directly damage host cells
- Activate host’s own inflammatory and immune systems leading to host tissue damage (most damage)
what are the major microbial virulence factors
Ability to invade epithelium
Direct cytoxic effects of bacterial metabolic waste
Damaging bacterial enzyes
Immunostimulatory molecules
what are the bacterial metabolic wastes that can damge periodontal tissue
Ammonia
Indole compounds
Fatty acids (propionic and butyric acids)
HS
what bacterial enzymes can damage periodontal tissue
Leukotoxin
Gingipains
what are the immunostimulatory molecules
LPS from gram negative Lipoteichoic acids from gram positive Gingivapins Formylpeptides Other surface antigens
what is the action of leukotoxin
Kills neutrophils and macrophages (phagocytic cells)
what doe Gingipains do
Degrade many proteins
- interleukins
what is the action of formylpeptides
Interact with phagocytic cells to induce chemotoxis
what is the passive protection of the periodontium
PRevention of bacterial entry via periodontal eptihlium
- shedding of outer layer
what is the first line of active defense of the periodontum
Innate/nonspecific immune system
what is the second line of active defense
Acquired (adaptive) immune response - specific
what stops bacteria from entering in the first place
Shedding of epithelial cells into the oral cavity
intact epithelial barrier
Possitive fluid flow into the gingival crevis
what epithlium is crutial for stopping bacterial entry
Junctional epithelium
what is the roll of connective tissue in preventing bacterial entry
Lots of vessels to flow and flush out bacterium
what does gignival crevicular fluid originate as
Gingival tissue interstitial fluid
what happens to the vessels of the periodontum connective tissue with inflammation
dilation leads to opening a vessels and leaking
- plasma and compliments leave
- adema and redness
what is included in the innate immune repsonse
Complement system
Oral mucosa production of anti-microbial peptides
Oral epithelium produced pro-inflammatory cytokines
Antimicrobial effects of antibodies, lactoferrin, lysozyme
Phagocytic function of neutrophils and macrophages
what does the complement system lead to
Induces bacterial lysis
promote phagocyte recruitment (chemotaxis)
promote phagocytic by opsonization of bacterial
Activates mast cells, increasing
what are universal signs of infection
Il-1Beta and TNF-alpha
what do IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha do
Recruit inflammatory cells
what does Il-8 do
attract neutrophils in early stage of infections
what does adaptive immunity respond to
BActerial Ag
what are the halmarks of adaptive immunity
Ag recognition
Immune memory
Clonal expansion
do antimicrobial compounds only kill bacteria
No, kill fungi too
what is the host defense hierarchy
Serum complement
Neutrophils (acute inglammation)
Monocyte/macrophages (chronic inflammation)
Lymphocytes (systemic)
where in the mouth can bacteria colonize
Supra and subgingival environments
what are the supragingival environments that bacteria can colonize
Tongue Oral mucosa Tonsils Saliva Supragingival plaque Others
what are the subgingival environments that bacteria can colonize
Periodontal soft tisse
Dentinal tubules
Furcations
Subgingival calculus
how long does it take for neutrophils to begin fighting bacteria
1/2 hours
what are monocytesand macrophages life length and location
Long life cels that are preposisioned in tissue
what are the actions of monocytes and macrophages
phagocytize and make biochem mediators
present antigens to the acquired immune response on MHC for the lymphocyte
what kind of bacteria tend to be subgingival
anaerobic
what kind of bacteria tend to supragingival
anaerobic
what is the roll of SecA in saliva
Prevents bacteria attachment
what is the roll of histatins
antimicrobial peptide
what covers the oral mucosa
mucous coat
what is the action of mucins and agglutinin
cause bacteria to clump together and fall out of solution
what response do toll-like receptors work in
Induce the innate immune response
what do toll-like receptors recognize
Conserved microbial-associated molecular patterns (LPS, lipoteichoic acid and flagellae)
what cells express Toll-like receptors
all cells including:
- epithelial cells
- PMNs
- monocytes
- macrophages
what do TLR’s signal for cells to do
Produce cytokines, chemokines, antimicrobial peptides, NO and eicosanoids
what happens what your immne system senses LPS
Complement activation Macrophages secrete cytokines lymphocytes devide B cell mitogen activity Bone resorbs secretion of proteoglycans and TNF-alpha
what is the Classical pathway for the complement system
uses antibodies to sense
what is the alternative pathway for the complement system
uses bacterial celll wals
what does complement system eventually lead to
Cleavage of PR to give progenerators with specific activites
what do the proteins of the complement system do
direct lysis of bacteria
inflammation
Phagocytosis
what does opsonition of C3b do
leads to phagocytosis by macrophages
what are the rolls of C3a and C5a in the complement system
Chemotactic: attract neutrophils
- mast cell degranulation
- vascular permiability
what do cytokines do
Coordiation of Inflammatory and immune response
- coordinate reaction to bacteria
what cytokines are pro-inflammatory
Il-1beta
TNF-alpha
what cytokine is has chemotactic activity
IL-8
