Cytokine production induced by non-encapsulated and encapsulated Porphyromonas gingivalis strains.
OBJECTIVE Although the exact reason is not known, encapsulated gram-negative Porphyromonas gingivalis strains are more virulent than non-encapsulated strains. Since difference in virulence properties may be due to difference in cytokine production following recognition of the bacteria or their products by the host inflammatory cells, we compared cytokine production following stimulation with ba...
متن کاملBiogas Production by Encapsulated Methane- Producing Bacteria
Encapsulation of methane-producing bacteria was carried out with the objective of enhancing the rate of biogas production. Encapsulation with a one-step liquid-droplet-forming technique was employed for the natural membrane, resulting in spherical capsules with an average diameter and a membrane thickness of 4.3 and 0.2 mm, respectively. The capsules were made from alginate, using chitosan or C...
متن کاملEncapsulated and Nonencapsulated Haemophilus influenzae Strains
Protein D is a surface-exposed lipoprotein of the gram-negative bacterium Haemophilus influenzae with affinity for human immunoglobulin D myeloma protein. The gene encoding protein D (hpd) in a serotype b strain of H. influenzae was cloned. Escherichia coli carrying the hpd gene bound human myeloma immunoglobulin D. Nucleotide sequence analysis identified an 1,092-bp open reading frame that was...
متن کاملEndothelin Regulates Porphyromonas gingivalis-Induced Production of Inflammatory Cytokines
Periodontitis is a very common oral inflammatory disease that results in the destruction of supporting connective and osseous tissues of the teeth. Although the exact etiology is still unclear, Gram-negative bacteria, especially Porphyromonas gingivalis in subgingival pockets are thought to be one of the major etiologic agents of periodontitis. Endothelin (ET) is a family of three 21-amino acid...
متن کاملAutoregulatory effect of interleukin-10 on proinflammatory cytokine production by Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide-tolerant human monocytes.
Pretreatment of human peripheral blood monocytes with a very low concentration (0.1 ng/ml) of Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharides (LPS) resulted in a significant decrease of interleukin-6 (IL-6) production, but not IL-8 production, by restimulation of a high concentration (1 microg/ml) of the same LPS. In contrast, the same pretreatment with Escherichia coli LPS resulted in the enhance...
