PG - 533-41 AB - BACKGROUND: This in vitro study investigated the influence of nicotine, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and a combination of both agents on cytokine expression from human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). METHODS: HGFs were exposed for 48 hours to 250 microg/ml nicotine, 1 microg/ml Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS, or both. The expression of multiple cytokines was detected in the HGFs conditioned media using cytokine protein arrays. RESULTS: The untreated HGFs expressed several cytokines, which included relatively high levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). They also expressed low levels of growth-regulated oncogene (GRO), IL-3, and IL-10. Nicotine had the greatest effect on the expression of GRO-alpha, IL-7, IL-10, and IL-15 compared to the untreated control. P. gingivalis LPS had the greatest effect on the expression of GRO-alpha; IL-7; IL-10; and RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed, and presumably secreted) compared to the untreated control. The combination of both agents had the biggest impact on the expression of GRO-alpha, IL-7, IL-10, IL-15, RANTES, and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) compared to the untreated control. CONCLUSION: HGFs exposed to nicotine, P. gingivalis LPS, or a combination of both agents increased the expression of multiple cytokines.
