Our previous study showed protease inhibitors were attenuated by periopathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis in cultured gingival epithelial cells. We hypothesize fewer protease inhibitors would be present in more advanced periodontal sites where the level of P. gingivalis may be high. The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between the protease inhibitor (SLPI, ELAFIN, SCCA) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and the number of P. gingivalis in subgingival plaque. Plaque samples from subjects without (n=18) and with moderate to advanced periodontitis (n=41) were used to quantify P. gingivalis using real-time PCR. Protease inhibitor levels in the GCF of all the subjects were determined by ELISA. P. gingivalis was detected in 68.3% of subjects with periodontitis, while 16.7% of patients without periodontitis had detectable level of P. gingivalis. Subjects with periodontitis and P. gingivalis in their plaque exhibited lower SLPI and ELAFIN levels (p<0.001) compare to control subjects without periodontitis. SLPI was also reduced (p<0.05) in GCF of periodontal patients without detectable level of P. gingivalis. Periodontal patients with high vs. low levels of P. gingivalis exhibited reciprocal mean levels of SLPI and ELAFIN concentrations. The reduced concentrations of SLPI and ELAFIN may contribute to the loss of host protective capacity and increase susceptibility to breakdown from chronic infection. The work of this investigation may aid in finding diagnostic and prognostic markers in periodontal health and disease and may further help in finding pharmacological targets directed against periodontal inflammation.
