Several studies indicate a relationship between immunocompetent cells and fibroblast functions such as proliferation and collagen synthesis, which may be of importance in understanding the process of fibrosis. We demonstrate here the activity of supernatant from an activated human CD4+ proliferative T-cell clone (2F1) in stimulating the proliferation of human dental pulp fibroblasts, while inhibiting their soluble type I collagen secretion in either growing or confluent cultures. Taken together, our results indicate that T-cell derived lymphokines may be of importance in regulating normal dental pulp fibroblast functions.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
