| Research Abstract |
We investigated oral immune responses induced by oral mucosal or dental pulpal DCs and epithelial cells, and found following new observations; 1) The density of oral mucosal DCs was clearly lower. 2) The density of sublingual DCs was markedly lower than those of buccal mucosa and dorsal surface of the tongue. 3) A comparable recruitment of submucosal DCs (smDCs) in the sublingual mucosa (SLM) was induced at an early phase after an initial hapten painting. 4) Repeated antigen painting onto SLM induced exhaustion of smDCs and conversion of macrophage-like smDC that possess less dendrites and round morphology with high levels of CD11b and CD206. 5) Dental pulp DCs migrated into regional lymph nodes after cusp trimming and possess mature phenotype. 6) Prickle cells in gingiva and dorsal surface of tongue constitutively expressed an immune regulatory molecule B7-H1. 7) B7-H1 that was overexpressed in gingival keratinocytes inhibited P.g-induced gingival inflammation and alveolar bone loss.
