Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a liver disease caused by heavy drinking. Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.g), a major cause of periodontitis, whose antibodies are elevated in severe ALD patients in the plasma. The purpose of this study is to further study the role and the molecular mechanism of P.g in the progress of ALD. In this study, saliva of patients with ALD was collected. Then, an animal model of ALD with oral P.g administration was established, pathology of liver and spleen, intestinal microorganisms and metabolites were analyzed. The molecular mechanism of P.g on ALD was analyzed in vitro. ALD and intestinal microflora and metabolite changes were observed more serious in the alcohol and P.g groups than the alcohol group. Moreover, ferroptosis was aggravated by P.g in the liver. Meanwhile, P.g promoted ferroptosis accomplication with alcohol in vitro, which can be reversed by ferroptosis inhibitors. In conclusion, P.g aggravates ALD through exacerbation gut microbial metabolic disorder in mice with alcohol, which maybe depend on ferroptosis activation in hepatocytes. The study provides a new strategy for prevention and treatment of ALD by improving the oral micro-environment.
