Periodontitis is an inflammatory bone disease caused by Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria. Osteoclast differentiation is regulated by the balance between receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG). The purpose of this study was to examine the mechanism of OPG production in human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from periodontopathic bacteria. The expressions of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR-2) and TLR-4 in HGF were examined using flow-cytometry. HGF were stimulated with whole cell extracts or LPS from Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis with or without polymyxin B, a LPS inhibitor. In addition, HGF were stimulated with LPS, prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), various agonists of PGE receptors (EP1, EP2, EP3 and EP4 agonists) with or without indomethacin (IND), a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor. OPG and PGE(2) production was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). HGF expressed both TLR-2 and TLR-4. Both A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis LPS augmented OPG expression in HGF. Whole cell extracts from A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis augmented OPG production by HGF; the augmentation was suppressed by polymyxin B. IND suppressed OPG production in LPS-stimulated HGF. PGE(2) stimulated HGF to produce OPG. EP1 and EP2 agonists, but not EP3 and EP4 agonists, increased OPG production by HGF. These results suggest that LPS-induced OPG production by HGF is regulated via EP1 and/or EP2 receptors by endogenously generated PGE(2).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans
D010518 Periodontitis Inflammation and loss of connective tissues supporting or surrounding the teeth. This may involve any part of the PERIODONTIUM. Periodontitis is currently classified by disease progression (CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS; AGGRESSIVE PERIODONTITIS) instead of age of onset.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
