Irsogladine maleate regulates gingival epithelial barrier function and intercellular communication in gingival epithelial cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Epithelial cells function as a mechanical barrier against invasion by pathogenic organisms and promote intercellular communication through cell-cell junction complexes. Therefore, the permeability and homeostasis of the gingival epithelial cell layer indicates a defensive capability against invasion by periodontal pathogens. Irsogladine maleate is a medication for gastric ulcer, and is also known to enhance gap junctional intercellular communication in cultured rabbit gastric epithelial and pancreatic cancer cells. We review the effects of Irsogladine maleate on barrier functions and gap junction intercellular communication of gingival epithelial cells under inflammatory conditions, to investigate the prevention of periodontal disease.

Irsogladine maleate regulates neutrophil migration and E-cadherin expression in gingival epithelium stimulated by Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans.
Irsogladine maleate (IM) counters Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans-induced reduction of the gap junction intercellular communication and the expression of zonula occludens-1, which is a major tight junction structured protein, in cultured human gingival epithelial cells (HGEC). In addition, IM obviates the A. actinomycetemcomitans-induced increase in interleukin (IL)-8 levels in HGEC. Thus...

Our previous report has shown that Irsogladine maleate (IM) counters and obviates the reduction in gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) and the increase in IL-8 levels, respectively, induced by outer membrane protein 29 from Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans) in cultured human gingival epithelial cells (HGEC). In addition, IM suppresses the increase in th...

متن کاملRole of gap junctions in inhibiting ischemia-reperfusion injury of rat gastric mucosa.
Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) is known to be important in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. However, the role of GJIC in gastric mucosa has not been well investigated. We tested the hypothesis that maintenance of GJIC protects rat gastric mucosa against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) stress by using irsogladine, an activator of GJIC, and octanol, an inhibitor of GJIC. Intra...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Role of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 in the Secretion of Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) by Cultured Gingival Epithelial Cells
Background and Aims: Several studies have shown that there is greater number of viruses in deep periodontal pockets than in normal gingival sulcus. We also know that virus may have an important role in induction of Il-1β secretion by different human cells. In this study we intended to determine the capacity of Herpes simplex virus type 1 to stimulate Il-1β secretion in human gingival ...
