| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigated the effects of advanced glycation end-product (AGE) on 3-type cultured cells; dental pulp cells, bone cells and gingival cells. In some cell cultures, additive effects of AGE with P-gingivalis-derived lipopolysaccharide (P-LPS) were studied. In dental pulp cells, AGE induced pulp calcification by the increase of S100A and A9 expression via RAGE-MAPK pathway. In osteoblastic cells, AGE and P-LPS independently reduced alkaline phosphatase activity and bone nodule formation. The addition of both AGE and LPS further decreased these markers. AGE markedly decreased the protein levels of type 1 collagen and osteocalcin, and increased IL1β and S100A8. In gingival fibroblasts, AGE increased expression of IL-6 and ICAM1, and the ICAM1 expression decreased by NF-κB inhibitors. These results demonstrate that AGE may be a potent indicator in dental pulp and periodontal diseases of diabetic and aging patients.
