Research Abstract |
In this study, we attempted to clarify about the function of hemoglobin receptor (HbR) protein from Porphyromonas gingivalis on the host epithelial cells and the relationship with inflammation in the periodontal diseases. Using gingival epithelial cell line Ca9-22 and primary gingivali epithelial cells, HbR protein induce interleukin-8 within at least 3 h after stimulation. Moreover, we revealed the molecular mechanisms by which HbR protein induced IL-8 production through the activation of p38/CREB and Erk1/2/ATF-2, NF-kB Therefore, these results led us to the possibility that HbR protein is associated with periodontitis by innate immun responses.
