ObjectivePorphyromonas gingivalis(Pg) is thought to be involved in the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). WhetherPgor its contents can reach the brain and directly affect neuropathology is, however, unknown. Here, we investigated whether outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) ofPgtranslocate to the brain and induce the pathogenic features of AD.Material and MethodsPgOMVs were injected into the abdominal cavity of mice for 12 weeks.PgOMV translocation to the brain was detected by immunohistochemistry using an anti‐gingipain antibody. Tau protein and microglial activation in the mouse brain were examined by western blotting and immunohistochemistry. The effect of gingipains on inflammation was assessed by real‐time polymerase chain reaction using human microglial HMC3 cells.ResultsGingipains were detected in the region around cerebral ventricles, choroid plexus, and ventricular ependymal cells inPgOMV‐administered mice. Tau and phosphorylated Tau protein increased and microglia were activated.PgOMVs also increased the gene expression of proinflammatory cytokines in HMC3 cells in a gingipain‐dependent manner.ConclusionPgOMVs, including gingipains, can reach the cerebral ventricle and induce neuroinflammation by activating microglia.PgOMVs may provide a better understanding of the implications of periodontal diseases in neurodegenerative conditions such as AD.
