Abstract/OtherAbstract:
INTRODUCTION: Periapical inflammation is initiated by insult to the dental pulp and mediated by inflammatory cytokines in the periodontal tissue. On the other hand, the destruction of tissue can be prevented by the suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokine activity. The balance between these cytokines and their counterregulatory molecules has been suggested to regulate tissue destruction. Suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins are known to suppress inflammatory cytokine signaling via the classic negative feedback loop. However, the mechanism by which they are induced by inflammatory cytokines and regulated during the development of periodontal disease remains to be clarified. We investigated the effects of inflammatory cytokines on SOCS protein expression and their signaling pathways in human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells. METHODS: We examined the effect of inflammatory cytokines on SOCSs expression and its signaling pathway in human PDL cells using reverse transcription- and real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blot methods. Furthermore, we also examined whether these cytokines-induced SOCS-3 suppress chemokines secretion using ELISA methods. RESULTS: We found that inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-6 induced expression of SOCS-3 but not that of SOCS-2 in human PDL cells. IL-1beta and IL-6 simultaneously induced IL-8 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 secretion in PDL cells, whereas SOCS-3 overexpression suppressed secretion of these chemokines through inhibition of phosphorylation in downstream signaling. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that pro-inflammatory cytokines induced SOCS-3 expression. The SOCS-3 induction suggests playing an important role in negative feedback, suppressing serious destruction of periodontal tissue in apical periodontitis through a chemokine-dependent mechanism.
