Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of Cap on the pg growth and inflammatory cytokine secretion in experimental rat periodontitis. Methods Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of Cap against pg (ATCC33277) were determined by microdilution technique. The effect of Cap on the growth rate of pg was assessed by timekill curve. By placing the sterile 28gauge wire ligature to the cervical portion of the right first molar, the experimental animal periodontitis was set up. The levels of TNFα, IL1β, IL4, IL6, IL10, IL12 in the periodontal tissues were analyzed by ELISA. Results Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS19.0 software. It was found that Cap showed the inhibitory effects on pg growth with MIC at 16mg/L and 64 mg/L, respectively. In low concentration, Cap inhibited pg growth, but in high concentration, Cap could directly kill bacteria. The inhibitory or killing effect of Cap was also in timedependent manners. In experimental periodontitis, except IL4, TNFα, IL1β, IL6, IL12 were significantly inhibited by Cap, but the expression of IL10 increased. Conclusion Cap can inhibit the growth of pg. By selectively changing the expression of TNFα, IL1β, IL6, IL10, IL12, Cap is able to relieve the immuneinflammatory reaction in the periodontitis.
