Treatment of human gingival fibroblasts with prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) resulted in significant concentration-dependent inhibition in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis (8.40-37.89%), while indomethacin (INDO) (PG inhibitor), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) or IL-1 beta+INDO caused a significant and dose-dependent increase in DNA synthesis. Addition of PGE2 to culture media containing IL-1 beta and INDO caused a significant concentration-dependent reduction in IL-1 beta- and INDO-induced stimulation of DNA synthesis. The findings suggest that IL-1 beta and PGE2, which are also produced by fibroblasts, could play an important role in regulation of gingival tissue development and wound healing, and their modulation may have therapeutic potential.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007213 Indomethacin A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) that inhibits CYCLOOXYGENASE, which is necessary for the formation of PROSTAGLANDINS and other AUTACOIDS. It also inhibits the motility of POLYMORPHONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. Amuno,Indocid,Indocin,Indomet 140,Indometacin,Indomethacin Hydrochloride,Metindol,Osmosin
D007375 Interleukin-1 A soluble factor produced by MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. Interleukin-1 is a general term refers to either of the two distinct proteins, INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation.
