摘要
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of proteolytic enzymes capable of degrading most components of the extracellular matrix. Recently, evidence has shown that MMPs may play a role in tissue degradation in inflamed dental pulp. To date very little is known regarding the mechanism of extracellular matrix destruction at the site of bacterial infection. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of the supernatants from Porphyromonas endodontalis and Porphyromonas gingivalis on the production and secretion of MMPs by primary human pulp and periodontal ligament (PDL) cell cultures in vitro. The results were evaluated by substrate gel zymography from long-term cultures. The main gelatinase secreted by human pulp and PDL cells migrated at 72 kDa and represented MMP-2. Minor gelatinolytic bands were also observed at 92 kDa regions that correspond to MMP-9. After an 8-day culture period, P. endodontalis and P. gingivalis were found to elevate MMP-2 production both in human pulp and PDL cell cultures. In addition, the stimulation was in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Both human pulp and PDL cells, however, treated with either P. endodontalis or P. gingivalis had no effect on the pattern of MMP-9 produced or secreted in either cell extracts or conditioned medium fractions. These results indicate that black-pigmented Bacteroides species play an important role in tissue destruction and disintegration of extracellular matrix in pulpal and periapical diseases. Thus, activation of MMPs may be one of the distinct host degradative pathways in the pathogenesis of microbial-induced pulpal and periapical lesion. An understanding of the actions of these black-pigmented Bacteroides species on pulp and PDL cells may result in new therapies to augment current treatment of pulpal and periapical lesions.
