PG - 1225-32 LID - 10.1177/0022034515590349 [doi] AB - Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is involved in various inflammatory processes, including periodontitis. Although the influences of TNF-alpha on periodontal ligament fibroblasts and osteoblasts have been widely documented, its effects on cementoblasts, the cells responsible for cementum production, remain largely unknown. In this study, we found that TNF-alpha suppressed the mineralization ability of cementoblasts by inhibiting differentiation and inducing apoptosis. Various signaling pathways, such as p53, PP2AC, p38, Erk1/2, JNK, PI3K-Akt, and NF-kappaB, were activated during this process. The use of a specific inhibitor and siRNA transfection confirmed that the effects of TNF-alpha on differentiation and apoptosis in cementoblasts were partially abrogated by inhibiting p53 activity. By contrast, the effects of TNF-alpha were even exacerbated by the inhibition of the p38, Erk1/2, JNK, PI3K-Akt, and NF-kappaB pathways. Moreover, p53 activity was further enhanced by blocking the p38, Erk1/2, JNK, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways. Taken together, these results suggested that the differentiation inhibition and apoptosis in cementoblasts induced by TNF-alpha were partially dependent on p53 activity. The p38, Erk1/2, JNK, PI3K-Akt, and NF-kappaB pathways were also activated but acted as balancing players to limit rather than conduct the negative effects of TNF-alpha. These balancing effects were dependent, or at least partially dependent, on p53, except for the NF-kappaB pathway. CI - (c) International & American Associations for Dental Research 2015.
