Porphyromonas gingivalis-induced inflammatory mediator profile in anex vivohuman whole blood model

Abstract: SummaryPeriodontitis is characterized by an accumulation of inflammatory cells in periodontal tissue and subgingival sites. Leukocytes play a major role in the host response to Porphyromonas gingivalis , a major aetiological agent of chronic periodontitis. Secretion of high levels of inflammatory mediators, including cytokines and prostaglandins, by leucocytes is believed to contribute to periodontal tissue destruction. The aim of this study was to investigate the inflammatory response of an ex vivo whole bloo… Show more

“…A previous report showed that MCP-1 expression was upregulated in P. gingivalis infected human umbilical vein endothelial cells [40]. Another study showed that P. gingivalis induced MCP-1 in an ex vivo human whole-blood model [41]. In the present study, our immunohistochemical results showed that the expression of MCP-1 in the neointimal area was enhanced in the P. gingivalis infected group compared to the non-infected group.…”

“…Among other cells, Jurkat T-cells are also known to produce PGE 2 [33][34][35]. It has been shown that P. gingivalis can induce PGE 2 production in a variety of cell types, including gingival fibroblasts [36], epithelial cells and macrophages [37], osteoblasts [20], bone marrow stromal cells [19], as well as whole blood cells [38]. The present study demonstrates that P. gingivalis enhances PGE 2 production in Jurkat T-cells as well, concomitantly to RANKL.…”

“…RANTES was detected at significantly higher levels in gingival crevicular fluid from chronic periodontitis and generalized aggressive periodontitis, and it was positively correlated with both probing depth and clinical attachment loss (44,45). P. gingivalis induced the secretion of RANTES from human whole blood (46). Periodontitis is among the most prevalent chronic diseases in humans, and up-regulation of IP-10 and RANTES by bacterial components may contribute to the progression of this disease.…”
