Cytotoxicity of Porphyromonas gingivalis toward cultured human gingival fibroblasts.
Direct cytotoxicity of black-pigmented anaerobic rods was studied on the confluent monolayer of human gingival fibroblasts in vitro. Only strains of Porphyromonas gingivalis caused morphological alteration (cell-rounding) and notable depression of viability of fibroblasts. To determine the location of the cytotoxicity, bacterial surface components, i.e., outer membrane, lipopolysaccharide, fimb...
متن کاملDown-regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome in gingival fibroblasts by subgingival biofilms: involvement of Porphyromonas gingivalis.
Recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns that activate IL-1β is regulated by inflammasomes, predominantly of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor (NLR) family. NLRP3 inflammasome is involved in the innate immune responses in periodontal disease. This is an inflammatory condition that destroys the tooth-supporting (periodontal) tissues, initiated by the subgin...
متن کاملCpG motifs in Porphyromonas gingivalis DNA stimulate interleukin-6 expression in human gingival fibroblasts.
We suggest here that Porphyromonas gingivalis DNA may function as a virulence factor in periodontal disease through expression of inflammatory cytokine. The bacterial DNA markedly stimulated in a dose-dependent manner interleukin-6 (IL-6) production by human gingival fibroblasts. The stimulatory action was eliminated by treatment with DNase but not RNase. The stimulatory effect was not observed...
متن کاملTargeted disruption of fibronectin-integrin interactions in human gingival fibroblasts by the RI protease of Porphyromonas gingivalis W50.
Cell surface integrins mediate interactions between cells and their extracellular matrix and are frequently exploited by a range of bacterial pathogens to facilitate adherence and/or invasion. In this study we examined the effects of Porphyromonas gingivalis proteases on human gingival fibroblast (HGF) integrins and their fibronectin matrix. Culture supernatant from the virulent strain W50 caus...
متن کاملDifferential ability of periodontopathic bacteria to modulate invasion of human gingival epithelial cells by Porphyromonas gingivalis.
Periodontitis is a polymicrobial infection caused by selected gram-negative bacteria including Porphyromonas gingivalis. Host cell invasion by P. gingivalis has been proposed as a possible mechanism of pathogenesis in periodontitis. The aim of the present study was to assess the influence of periodontopathogens on P. gingivalis invasion of gingival epithelial cells in polymicrobial infection. P...
