PG - 352-9 AB - To investigate the role of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF), the major constituents of gingival tissue in periodontal inflammatory disease, the expression of interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) alpha, beta, and gamma chains was examined. Immunohistochemistry showed a pronounced accumulation of CD8(+) T cells in the inflamed lamina propria of gingival tissue from patients with adult periodontitis. HGF express IL-2Rbeta and IL-2Rgamma at mRNA and protein levels, but the expression of IL-2Ralpha could not be detected, as assessed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and flow cytometry. IL-2Rbeta, and -gamma expressed on HGF were functionally active, as addition of neutralizing anti-IL-2Rbeta and -gamma antibodies caused inhibition of the IL-2-induced production of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and addition of IL-2 induced phosphorylation of Janus tyrosine kinase 3, which is critical in signaling through IL-2Rgamma in HGF. The IL-2-induced MCP-1 production was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with neutralizing antibody to IL-15. Addition of IL-2 also induced a marked up-regulation of the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) on the surface of HGF, which in turn, significantly augmented the adhesion of human neutrophils, which were inhibited by an anti-ICAM-1 antibody. These results suggest that HGF express functional IL-2Rbetagamma, respond to IL-2 from infiltrated T cells, and actively participate in the inflammatory process in the periodontal region and that IL-15 produced by HGF sustains IL-2-mediated signaling in HGF.
