Platelet factor 4 upregulates matrix metalloproteinase-1 production in gingival fibroblasts.

چکیده
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Periodontitis is a highly prevalent chronic inflammatory disease that causes tooth loss, morbidity and confers an increased risk for systemic disease. Tissue destruction during periodontitis is due in large part to collagen-degrading matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) released by resident cells of the periodontium in response to proinflammatory cytokines. Platelets are immune-competent blood cells with a newly recognized role in chronic inflammation; however, their role in the pathogenesis of periodontitis is undefined. Consequently, the objective of this study was to assess the effect of platelet factor 4 (PF4), a major platelet-derived cytokine, on MMP-1 (collagenase) expression in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). MATERIAL AND METHODS HGFs were cultured in the presence or absence of recombinant PF4. Pro-MMP-1 secretion was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analysis of the cell culture supernatants. MMP-1 transcription was quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Regulation of MMP-1 production by the p44/42 MAP kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway was examined in the presence or absence of PF4. RESULTS Exposure to PF4 caused a ~ 2-3-fold increase in MMP-1 transcription and secretion from cultured HGFs. PF4 treatment also enhanced phosphorylation of p44/42 MAPK, which has been previously shown to induce MMP-1 expression in fibroblasts. Blockade of p44/42 MAPK signaling with the cell-permeant inhibitors PD98059 and PD184352 abrogated PF4-induced pro-MMP-1 transcription upregulation and release from cultured HGFs. CONCLUSION We conclude that PF4 upregulates MMP-1 expression in HGFs in a p44/42 MAPK-dependent manner. These findings point to a previously unidentified role for platelets in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases.

Interleukin-4 Suppresses Interleukin-1-Induced Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 in Human Gingival Fibroblasts
OBJECTIVE—In periodontitis, matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3, stromelysin 1) is present at increased levels in active disease sites compared to inactive or healthy sites, and the levels are correlated with clinical parameters and associated with progression of the disease. Interleukin 4 (IL-4) has been shown in other systems to suppress interleukin-1 (IL-1) induced expression of MMP-3, but thi...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Gingival fibroblasts have the potential to participate in periodontal inflammation and breakdown, producing interleukin (IL)-6 and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), formed during diabetic hyperglycemia, might aggravate periodontal inflammation. The cranberry contains anti-inflammatory polyphenols, which inhibit proinflammatory act...

Stromelysin 1 (MMP-3) is a matrix metalloproteinase with broad substrate specificity that has been linked to joint and tissue destruction associated with chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis. Transcription of the stromelysin gene is induced by inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor as well as a number of other cytoki...
