Periodontitis (PD) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been found to be clinically associated and to share the chronic nature of the inflammatory reaction associated with bone resorption activity. However, the mechanisms underlying such association are unknown. Therefore, we examined the basis of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans-and Porphyromonas gingivalis-induced PD and pristane-induced arthritis (PIA) interaction in mice. Higher severity PD in the genetically inflammation prone acute inflammatory reactivity maximum (AIRmax) mice strain was associated with higher levels of TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-17, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13, and RANKL, whereas PD/PIA co-induction resulted in even higher levels of IL-1 beta, IFN-gamma, IL-17, RANKL, and MMP-13 levels. Conversely, PD/PIA co-induction in AIRmin strain did not alter the course of both pathologies. PIA/PD co-induction resulted in altered expression of T-cell subsets transcription factors expression, with T-bet and ROR gamma levels being upregulated, whereas GATA-3 levels were unaltered. Interestingly, PIA induction resulted in alveolar bone loss, such response being highly dependent on the presence of commensal oral bacteria. No differences were found in PIA severity parameters by PD co-induction. Our results show that the interaction between experimental PD and arthritis in mice involves a shared hyper-inflammatory genotype and functional interferences in innate and adaptive immune responses.
