Research Abstract |
Periodontal disease in poor controlled-diabetic patients has very severe inflammation. In the present study, hyperglycemia enhanced TACE activity and MMP-3 production in human gingival fibroblasts. In addition, recombinant activated MMP-3 enhanced the shedding of soluble IL-6 receptor in macrophage-like differentiated THP-1. These results suggest that hyperglycemia-induced facilitation of TACE and MMP-3 in gingival fibroblasts/macrophage interaction induce severe periodontal inflammation through enhancement of IL-6 signaling in the patients with poor controlled-diabetic mellitus.
