Lipoteichoic acid and interleukin 1 stimulate synergistically production of hepatocyte growth factor (scatter factor) in human gingival fibroblasts in culture.

چکیده
Lipoteichoic acids (LTA) from various gram-positive bacteria, including oral streptococci such as Streptococcus sanguis, enhanced the production of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) (scatter factor) by human gingival fibroblasts in culture, whereas lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from various gram-negative bacteria did not. In contrast, LPS induced interleukin 1 activity in human gingival epithelial cells in culture, while LTA had little effect. LTA and recombinant human interleukin 1 alpha enhanced synergistically the production of HGF/SF in human gingival fibroblast cultures. Recombinant human HGF, in turn, enhanced the proliferation of human gingival epithelial cells in culture.

Purpose: Low level laser therapy is suggested as a new therapeutic method in diabetic wound healing. This survey aimed to evaluate the effects of low level laser on human fibroblasts cultured in high glucose cultures. Materials and Methods: The human skin fibroblasts were cultured under standard condition. The cells were cultured in high glucose culture medium (15mM/L) for a week and two weeks ...

Cystein proteinases (gingipains) from Porphyromonas gingivalis cleave a broad range of in-host proteins and are considered to be key virulence factors in the onset and development of adult periodontitis and host defense evasion. In periodontitis, an inflammatory disease triggered by bacterial infection, the production of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is induced not only by various factors deri...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: An important goal of periodontal plastic surgery is the creation of attached gingiva around the teeth. In this study, the aims were to culture gingival fibroblasts in a biodegradable scaffold and measure the width of attached gingiva after the clinical procedure.METHODS: This study was carried out on 4 patients (8 sites), with inadequate attached gingiva next to at least two...
متن کاملBacterial antigens induce collagenase and prostaglandin E2 synthesis in human gingival fibroblasts through a primary effect on circulating mononuclear cells.
Our previous work suggests that one mechanism through which connective tissue breakdown might occur in periodontal diseases is the production of metalloproteinases, including collagenase, by gingival fibroblasts. In this study we investigated whether highly purified preparations of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and lipoteichoic acid (LTA) from a number of putative periodontal pathogens could induce ...
متن کاملScatter factor and hepatocyte growth factor: activities, properties, and mechanism.
Scatter factor (SF) was first identified as a fibroblast-derived protein which disperses (i.e., "scatters") cohesive colonies of epithelium. SF-like proteins were found in human smooth muscle cell conditioned medium, amniotic fluid, and placental tissue. SFs markedly stimulate migration of epithelial, carcinoma, and vascular endothelial cell types at picomolar concentrations. Hepatocyte growth ...
