Abstract
AIM Loss-of-function mutations in FAM20A result in amelogenesis imperfecta IG (AI1G) or enamel-renal syndrome, characterized by hypoplastic enamel, ectopic calcification, and gingival hyperplasia, with some cases reporting spontaneous tooth infection. Despite previous reports on the consequence of FAM20A reduction in gingival fibroblasts and transcriptome analyses of AI1G pulp tissues, suggesting its involvement in mineralization and infection, its role in deciduous dental pulp cells (DDP) remains unreported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the properties of DDP obtained from an AI1G patient, providing additional insights into the effects of FAM20A on the mineralization of DDP. METHODOLOGY DDP were obtained from a FAM20A-AI1G patient (mutant cells) and three healthy individuals. Cellular behaviours were examined using flow cytometry, MTT, attachment and spreading, colony formation, and wound healing assays. Osteogenic induction was applied to DDP, followed by alizarin red S staining to assess their osteogenic differentiation. The expression of FAM20A-related genes, osteogenic genes, and inflammatory genes was analysed using real-time PCR, Western blot, and/or immunolocalization. Additionally, STRING analysis was performed to predict potential protein-protein interaction networks. RESULTS The mutant cells exhibited a significant reduction in FAM20A mRNA and protein levels, as well as proliferation, migration, attachment, and colony formation. However, normal FAM20A subcellular localization was maintained. Additionally, osteogenic/odontogenic genes, OSX, OPN, RUNX2, BSP, and DSPP, were downregulated, along with upregulated ALP. STRING analysis suggested a potential correlation between FAM20A and these osteogenic genes. After osteogenic induction, the mutant cells demonstrated reduced mineral deposition and dysregulated expression of osteogenic genes. Remarkably, FAM20A, FAM20C, RUNX2, OPN, and OSX were significantly upregulated in the mutant cells, whilst ALP, and OCN was downregulated. Furthermore, the mutant cells exhibited a significant increase in inflammatory gene expression, that is, IL-1β and TGF-β1, whereas IL-6 and NFκB1 expression was significantly reduced. CONCLUSION The reduction of FAM20A in mutant DDP is associated with various cellular deficiencies, including delayed proliferation, attachment, spreading, and migration as well as altered osteogenic and inflammatory responses. These findings provide novel insights into the biology of FAM20A in dental pulp cells and shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying AI1G pathology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Ligature-induced periodontitis model has been widely used as a preclinical stage for investigating new treatment modalities. However, the effect of different ligature sizes on alveolar bone loss has never been studied. Therefore, we examined alveolar bone loss in this rat model using different sizes of silk ligatures, as well as healing after ligature removal. MATERIALS AND METHODS Left maxillary second molars of Sprague-Dawley rats were ligated with 3-0, 4-0, or 5-0 silk ligatures (n = 4-5/group) for 14 days before harvested maxillae and gingival tissues. For subsequent experiment, animals were ligated for 14 days using the ligature size that induced the most alveolar bone loss before ligature removal and sacrificed at 0, 7 and 14 days (n = 5-6/group). All maxillae and gingival tissues were harvested to evaluate alveolar bone level, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) levels. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Data was analyzed using SPSS Statistics 23.0 software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Illinois, United States). Data from all experiments were tested for normality using Shapiro-Wilk test. Data between ligatured and nonligatured teeth were compared using Student's t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Differences among different ligature sizes were analyzed by analysis of variance followed by multiple comparisons with post-hoc test. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The alveolar bone loss of ligated teeth was substantially higher than that of control after 14 days of ligation. While 3-0 and 4-0 resulted in significantly greater bone loss than 5-0 silk, the 3-0 group had the lowest rate of ligature loss. Therefore, alveolar bone healing postligature removal was investigated further using 3-0 silk. The results showed no significant bone level change at 2 weeks after ligature removal. In term of IL-1β and TNF-α levels, there was no statistically significant difference in IL-1β level between groups at any time point, while TNF-α was undetectable. CONCLUSION These data showed that 3-0 silk was the most effective ligature size in promoting alveolar bone loss comparing with 4-0 and 5-0 silk. During the 2-week period following ligature removal, spontaneous bone healing was not observed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although periodontal ligament-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PDL-MSCs) have been recognized as the best MSC choice for periodontal regeneration, using PDL-MSCs requires tooth extraction for cell isolation. Supracrestal gingival connective tissue (SG) is a part of gingiva which located close to PDL. SG-MSCs might have similar characteristic to the PDL-MSCs and serve as a good MSC candidate for periodontal regeneration. This study aimed to investigate and compare the characteristics of human derived MSCs from SG (hSG-MSCs), marginal gingival tissue (hMG-MSCs), and PDL (hPDL-MSCs) on MSCs properties and differential gene expression profile. METHODS Human periodontal tissue from 5 healthy subjects, including SG, MG, and PDL were harvested. The primary cells of the hSG-MSCs, hMG-MSCs, and hPDL-MSCs were isolated and expanded to assess MSCs markers by flow cytometry, colony-forming ability, differentiation potential, RNA sequencing, and real-time PCR. RESULTS Of the three cell types, the hSG-MSCs demonstrated the highest colony forming ability. The number of Alizarin red S positive colonies produced by the hSG-MSCs was higher than the hMG-MSCs, but lower than the hPDL-MSCs. RNA sequencing revealed that the hSG-MSCs had a more similar gene expression profile to the hPDL-MSCs than the hMG-MSCs. Pathway enrichment analysis found no significant differences in the differentially expressed genes between the hSG-MSCs and hPDL-MSCs, however, there were significantly enriched pathways between the hPDL-MSCs and hMG-MSCs for the extracellular matrix organization and ECM-receptor interaction pathways. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated a close relationship between hSG-MSCs and hPDL-MSCs. hSG-MSCs could be a potential candidate MSC source for periodontal tissue engineering.

Abstract
Oral tissue regeneration following chronic diseases and injuries is limited by the natural endogenous wound-healing process. Current regenerative approaches implement exogenous systems, including stem cells, scaffolds, growth factors, and plasmid DNA/viral vectors, that induce variable clinical outcomes. An innovative approach that is safe, effective, and inexpensive is needed. The lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (mRNA) platform has proven to be a successful vaccine modality against coronavirus disease 2019, demonstrating safety and high efficacy in humans. The same fundamental technology platform could be applied to facilitate the development of mRNA-based regenerative therapy. While the platform has not yet been studied in the field of oral tissue regeneration, mRNA therapeutics encoding growth factors have been evaluated and demonstrated promising findings in various models of soft and hard tissue regeneration such as myocardial infarction, diabetic wound healing, and calvarial and femoral bone defects. Because restoration of both soft and hard tissues is crucial to oral tissue physiology, this new therapeutic modality may help to overcome challenges associated with the reconstruction of the unique and complex architecture of oral tissues. This review discusses mRNA therapeutics with an emphasis on findings and lessons in different regenerative animal models, and it speculates how we can apply mRNA-based platforms for oral tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Background Patients with ELANE variants and severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) commonly develop oral complications. Whether they are caused only by low neutrophil count or the combination of neutropenia and aberrant dental cells is unknown. Methods Genetic variant was identified with exome sequencing. Dental pulp cells isolated from the SCN patient with an ELANE mutation were investigated for gene expression, enzyme activity, proliferation, colony formation, wound healing, apoptosis, ROS, attachment, spreading and response to lipopolysaccharide. Results ELANE cells had diminished expression of ELANE and SLPI and reduced neutrophil elastase activity. Moreover, ELANE cells exhibited impaired proliferation, colony forming, migration, attachment and spreading; and significantly increased ROS formation and apoptosis, corresponding with increased Cyclin D1 and MMP2 levels. The intrinsic levels of TGF‐β1 and TNF‐α were significantly increased; however, IL‐6, IL‐8 and NF‐kB1 were significantly decreased in ELANE cells compared with those in controls. After exposure to lipopolysaccharide, ELANE cells grew larger, progressed to more advanced cell spreading stages and showed significantly increased SLPI, TNF‐α and NF‐kB1 and tremendously increased IL‐6 and IL‐8 expression, compared with controls. Conclusion This study, for the first time, suggests that in addition to neutropenia, the aberrant levels and functions of ELANE, SLPI and their downstream molecules in pulp cells play an important role in oral complications in SCN patients. In addition, pulp cells with diminished neutrophil elastase and SLPI are highly responsive to inflammation.

Abstract
Background Direct pulp capping is a vital pulp therapy for a pin-point dental pulp exposure. Applying a pulp capping material leads to the formation of a dentin bridge and protects pulp vitality. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of four dental materials, DyCal®, ProRoot® MTA, Biodentine™, and TheraCal™ LC in vitro. Methods Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPs) were isolated and characterized. Extraction medium was prepared from the different pulp capping materials. The hDP cytotoxicity, proliferation, and migration were examined. The odonto/osteogenic differentiation was determined by alkaline phosphatase, Von Kossa, and alizarin red s staining. Osteogenic marker gene expression was evaluated using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results ProRoot® MTA and Biodentine™ generated less cytotoxicity than DyCal® and TheraCal™ LC, which were highly toxic. The hDPs proliferated when cultured with the ProRoot® MTA and Biodentine™ extraction media. The ProRoot® MTA and Biodentine™ extraction medium induced greater cell attachment and spreading. Moreover, the hDPs cultured in the ProRoot® MTA or Biodentine™ extraction medium migrated in a similar manner to those in serum-free medium, while a marked reduction in cell migration was observed in the cells cultured in DyCal® and TheraCal™ LC extraction media. Improved mineralization was detected in hDPs maintained in ProRoot® MTA or Biodentine™ extraction medium compared with those in serum-free medium. Conclusion This study demonstrates the favorable in vitro biocompatibility and bioactive properties of ProRoot® MTA and Biodentine™ on hDPs, suggesting their superior regenerative potential compared with DyCal® and TheraCal™.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of lipopolysaccharide on cell proliferation, migration and osteogenic differentiation of apical papilla cells from early and late stage of root development. After challenging with various lipopolysaccharide concentrations to apical papilla cells from both stages of root development for 168 h, cell proliferation and migration were investigated. Osteogenic differentiation was examined by Alizarin red staining, and gene expressions of bone/cementum or dentin-related genes were examined by polymerase chain reaction. Lipopolysaccharide did not affect cell proliferation and migration in both groups. Lipopolysaccharide at 1 and 5 µg mL-1 increased Alizarin red staining in apical papilla cells from early-stage but not the late-stage cells. Bone sialoprotein (bone/cementum marker) gene expression increased in both early and late stage of root development at 5 µg mL-1 . These results might explain bone/cementum generation in regenerative endodontic procedures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Jagged1 regulates several biological functions in human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLs). The present study aimed to evaluate mRNA expression profiling of Jagged1-treated hPDLs using microarray technique. METHODS Notch ligands, Jagged1, were indirectly immobilized on tissue culture surface. Subsequently, hPDLs were seeded on Jagged1 immobilized surface and maintained in growth medium for 48 hr. Total RNA was collected and processed. Gene expression profiling was examined using microarray technique. Real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunofluorescence staining were employed to determine mRNA and protein expression levels, respectively. Cell proliferation and colony-forming unit assay were performed. Cell cycle was evaluated using propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry analysis. RESULTS The isolated cells demonstrated fibroblast-like morphology and exhibited the co-expression of CD44, CD90, and CD105 surface markers. After stimulated with Jagged1, the total of 411 genes was differentially expressed, consisting both coding and non-coding genes. For coding genes, 165 and 160 coding genes were upregulated and downregulated, respectively. Pathway analysis revealed that the upregulated genes were mainly involved in cellular interactions, signal transduction, and collagen formation and degradation while the downregulated genes were in the events and phases in cell cycle. Jagged1 significantly decreased cell proliferation, reduced colony-forming unit ability, and induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest in hPDLs. CONCLUSION Jagged1 regulates various biological pathways in hPDLs. This gene expression profiling could help to understand the mechanisms potentially involved in the Notch signaling regulation in periodontal homeostasis.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) abundantly express diverse receptors to recognize mannans in the outer surface of Candida cell wall, and these interactions dictate the host immune responses that determine disease outcomes. C. krusei prevalence in candidiasis worldwide has increased since this pathogen has developed multidrug resistance. However, little is known how the immune system responds to C. krusei. Particularly, the molecular mechanisms of the interplay between C. krusei mannan and DCs remain to be elucidated. We investigated how C. krusei mannan affected DC responses in comparison to C. albicans, C. tropicalis and C. glabrata mannan. Our results showed that only C. krusei mannan induced massive cytokine responses in DCs, and led to apoptosis. Although C. krusei mannan-activated DCs underwent apoptosis, they were still capable of initiating Th17 response. C. krusei mannan-mediated DC apoptosis was obligated to the TLR2 and MyD88 pathway. These pathways also controlled Th1/Th17 switching possibly by virtue of the production of the polarizing cytokines IL-12 and IL-6 by the C. krusei mannan activated-DCs. Our study suggests that TLR2 and MyD88 pathway in DCs are dominant for C. krusei mannan recognition, which differs from the previous reports showing a crucial role of C-type lectin receptors in Candida mannan sensing.

Abstract
The interplay between highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus and immune cells has been extensively studied for years, as host immune components are thought to play significant roles in promoting the systemic spread of the virus and responsible for cytokine storm. Previous studies suggested that the interaction of B cells and monocytes could promote HPAI H5N1 infection by enhancing avian influenza virus receptor expression. In this study, we further investigate the relationship between the HPAI H5N1 virus, activated B cells, and DC-SIGN expression. DC-SIGN has been described as an important factor for mediating various types of viral infection. Here, we first demonstrate that HPAI H5N1 infection could induce an activation of B cells, which was associated with DC-SIGN expression. Using CD40L and recombinant IL-4 for B cell stimulation, we determined that DC-SIGN expressed on activated B cells was able to enhance its susceptibility to HPAI H5N1 infection. Our findings uncover the interplay between this H5N1 virus and B cells and provide important information in understanding how the virus overcomes our immune system, contributing to its unusual immunopathogenesis.

Abstract
The presence of inflammatory infiltrates with B cells, specifically plasma cells, is the hallmark of periodontitis lesions. The composition of these infiltrates in various stages of homeostasis and disease development is not well documented. Human tissue biopsies from sites with gingival health (n = 29), gingivitis (n = 8), and periodontitis (n = 21) as well as gingival tissue after treated periodontitis (n = 6) were obtained and analyzed for their composition of B cell subsets. Ag specificity, Ig secretion, and expression of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand and granzyme B were performed. Although most of the B cell subsets in healthy gingiva and gingivitis tissues were CD19(+)CD27(+)CD38(-) memory B cells, the major B cell component in periodontitis was CD19(+)CD27(+)CD38(+)CD138(+)HLA-DR(low) plasma cells, not plasmablasts. Plasma cell aggregates were observed at the base of the periodontal pocket and scattered throughout the gingiva, especially apically toward the advancing front of the lesion. High expression of CXCL12, a proliferation-inducing ligand, B cell-activating factor, IL-10, IL-6, and IL-21 molecules involved in local B cell responses was detected in both gingivitis and periodontitis tissues. Periodontitis tissue plasma cells mainly secreted IgG specific to periodontal pathogens and also expressed receptor activator of NF-κB ligand, a bone resorption cytokine. Memory B cells resided in the connective tissue subjacent to the junctional epithelium in healthy gingiva. This suggested a role of memory B cells in maintaining periodontal homeostasis.

Abstract
The highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus causes severe systemic infection in avian and mammalian species, including humans by first targeting immune cells. This subsequently renders the innate and adaptive immune responses less active, thus allowing dissemination of the virus to systemic organs. To gain insight into the pathogenesis of H5N1, this study aims to determine the susceptibility of human PBMCs to the H5N1 virus and explore the factors which influence this susceptibility. We found that PBMCs were a target of H5N1 infection, and that monocytes and B cells were populations which were clearly the most susceptible. Analysis of PBMC subpopulations showed that isolated monocytes and monocytes residing in whole PBMCs had comparable percentages of infection (28.97 ± 5.54% vs 22.23 ± 5.14%). In contrast, isolated B cells were infected to a much lower degree than B cells residing in a mixture of whole PBMCs (0.88 ± 0.34% vs 34.87 ± 4.63%). Different susceptibility levels of B cells for these tested conditions spurred us to explore the B cell-H5N1 interaction mechanisms. Here, we first demonstrated that monocytes play a crucial role in the enhancement of B cell susceptibility to H5N1 infection. Although the actual mechanism by which this enhancement occurs remains in question, α2,3-linked sialic acid (SA), known for influenza virus receptors, could be a responsible factor for the greater susceptibility of B cells, as it was highly expressed on the surface of B cells upon H5N1 infection of B cell/monocyte co-cultures. Our findings reveal some of the factors involved with the permissiveness of human immune cells to H5N1 virus and provide a better understanding of the tropism of H5N1 in immune cells.

Abstract
Information on the immune response against H5N1 within the lung is lacking. Here we describe the sustained antiviral immune responses, as indicated by the expression of MxA protein and IFN-alpha mRNA, in autopsy lung tissue from an H5N1-infected patient. H5N1 infection of primary bronchial/tracheal epithelial cells and lung microvascular endothelial cells induced IP-10, and also up-regulated the retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I). Down-regulation of RIG-I gene expression decreased IP-10 response. Co-culturing of H5N1-infected pulmonary cells with TNF-alpha led to synergistically enhanced production of IP-10. In the absence of viral infection, TNF-alpha and IFN-alpha also synergistically enhanced IP-10 response. Methylprednisolone showed only a partial inhibitory effect on this chemokine response. Our findings strongly suggest that both the H5N1 virus and the locally produced antiviral cytokines; IFN-alpha and TNF-alpha may have an important role in inducing IP-10 hyperresponse, leading to inflammatory damage in infected lung.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Human gingival epithelial cells (HGECs) are continually exposed to oral bacteria and to other harmful agents. Their responses to stimuli are critical in maintaining periodontal homeostasis. The aim of this study was to investigate the modulating effect of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on the innate immune responses of HGECs. MATERIAL AND METHODS Toll-like receptor (TLR) expression of HGECs was determined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The effect of CSE or nicotine on the expression of the antimicrobial peptide human beta-defensin-2 (hBD-2) and the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-8 in stimulated HGEC cultures was evaluated by RT-PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS The HGECs expressed mRNA of TLRs 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and minimally of TLR4, but not of TLRs 7 or 8. Stimulation of HGECs with highly purified TLR2, 3 or 5 ligands led to expression of hBD-2 and of IL-8. Enhancement of hBD-2 and IL-8 was observed in HGECs after combined stimulation with Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (TLR2 ligand) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha, compared with stimulation using either agent alone. After CSE exposure, hBD-2 expression was markedly reduced in stimulated HGEC cultures, whereas IL-8 expression was markedly increased. These effects were also observed, but were markedly attenuated, upon nicotine treatment. CONCLUSION Human gingival epithelial cells play a critical role in orchestrating the innate immune responses of periodontal tissue via TLR signalling. Our results represent the first demonstration that CSE can modulate HGEC function by suppressing hBD-2 and enhancing IL-8 production, and this may be, in part, a possible mechanism which promotes periodontal disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is an intracellular tryptophan-oxidizing enzyme with immunosuppressive characteristics. Its expression and regulation in periodontal tissues are unknown. The aim of this study was to determine IDO expression in healthy gingiva and chronic periodontitis lesions. In addition, the effect of inflammatory cytokines and bacterial products on the expression and activity of DOI in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) was assessed. METHODS Human gingival tissue samples were obtained from patients who underwent periodontal surgery. IDO expression in healthy gingiva and periodontitis lesions was determined by immunohistochemistry. HGF cells were treated with interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), interleukin (IL)-1beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and lipopolysaccharides from Porphyromonas gingivalis (PgLPS). IDO mRNA expression was determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The IDO enzymatic activity was determined by measuring the kynurenine level using a colorimetric method. RESULTS In gingival tissues, IDO expression was detected in epithelial cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and inflammatory mononuclear cells. IDO expression was higher in periodontitis lesions than in healthy gingiva. HGFs did not constitutively express IDO. IFN-gamma strongly induced IDO expression and activity in HGFs, in a dose-dependent manner. IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, and PgLPS were also able to induce IDO expression in HGF cells. IFN-gamma in combination with IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, or PgLPS showed enhanced IDO expression. CONCLUSIONS IDO was expressed in human gingiva, and the expression was upregulated in chronic periodontitis. The increased IDO expression in periodontitis lesions may be due, in part, to the activation of HGFs by inflammatory cytokines and bacterial products.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-17 is present in inflammatory periodontal lesions, thus suggesting a role in mediating inflammation. We tested the hypothesis that IL-17, especially when combined with interferon (IFN)-gamma, may modulate the responses of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). IL-17 induced IL-8 and minimal intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 expression. It had no effect on expression of HLA-DR, CD40, or the immune-suppressive enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO). The effects of IL-17 on HGFs were compared with those of IFN-gamma. Unlike IL-17, IFN-gamma augmented the expression of HLA-DR, ICAM-1, and IDO, but not IL-8. Thus, IL-17 and IFN-gamma induce different HGF responses when administered separately. Interestingly, when IL-17 and IFN-gamma were combined, marked enhancement of ICAM-1, IL-8, and IDO expression by HGFs was observed. These findings suggest that IL-17, especially when combined with IFN-gamma, could play an important role in immune modulation through stimulation of HGFs in periodontal disease.

Abstract
Human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs), a predominant cell type in tooth-supporting structure, are presently recognized for their active role in the innate immune response. They produce a variety of inflammatory cytokines in response to microbial components such as LPS from the key periodontal pathogen, Porphyromonas gingivalis. In this study, we demonstrated that HGFs expressed mRNA of TLRs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9, but not TLRs 7, 8, and 10. Stimulation of HGFs with highly purified TLR2 ligand (P. gingivalis LPS), TLR3 ligand (poly(I:C)), TLR4 ligand (Escherichia coli LPS), and TLR5 ligand (Salmonella typhimurium flagellin) led to expression of IL-8 and IDO. A potent TLR 9 ligand, CpG oligodeoxynucleotide 2006 had no effect, although HGFs showed a detectable TLR9 mRNA expression. No significant enhancement on IL-8 or IDO expression was observed when HGFs were stimulated with various combinations of TLR ligands. Surprisingly, the TLR9 ligand CpG oligodeoxynucleotide 2006 was able to specifically inhibit poly(I:C)-induced IL-8 and IDO expression. TNF-alpha enhanced TLR ligand-induced IL-8 production in HGFs, whereas IFN-gamma enhanced TLR ligand-induced IDO expression. HGF production of IDO in response to P. gingivalis LPS, IFN-gamma, or the two in combination inhibited T cell proliferation in MLRs. The observed T cell inhibition could be reversed by addition of either 1-methyl-dl-tryptophan or l-tryptophan. Our results suggest an important role of HGFs not only in orchestrating the innate immune response, but also in dampening potentially harmful hyperactive inflammation in periodontal tissue.

Abstract
Interaction between different bacterial plaque pathogens and dendritic cells may induce different types of T helper (Th) cell response, which is critical in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. In this study we investigated the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Porphyromonas gingivalis and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans on human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (Mo-DCs) with respect to co-stimulatory molecule expression, cytokine production and Th cell differentiation. Unlike Escherichia coli and A. actinomycetemcomitans LPS, P. gingivalis LPS induced only low levels of CD40, CD80, HLA-DR and CD83 expression on Mo-DCs. LPS from both bacteria induced considerably lower TNF-alpha and IL-10 than did E. coli LPS. LPS from all three bacteria induced only negligible IL-12 production. In a human mixed-leukocyte reaction, and in an ovalbumin-specific T cell response assay in mice, both types of LPS suppressed IFN-gamma production. In conclusion, stimulation by P. gingivalis LPS and A. actinomycetemcomitans LPS appears to bias Mo-DCs towards Th2 production.

Abstract
In this study, we re-visited the issue of hyper-responsiveness of monocytes to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in aggressive periodontitis patients. We used whole-blood cultures to compare monocyte activation by Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS between Thai subjects with generalized aggressive periodontitis and those without periodontitis. Upon stimulation with P. gingivalis LPS, expression of co-stimulatory molecules on monocytes and expression of CD69 on NK and gamma delta T-cells were analyzed by flow cytometry, and the production of interleukin-1 beta and prostaglandin E(2) was monitored by ELISA. LPS stimulation resulted in a dose-dependent up-regulation of CD40, CD80, and CD86 on monocytes, and up-regulation of CD69 on NK cells and gamma delta T-cells in both the periodontitis and non-periodontitis groups. The levels of activation markers and the mediator production after LPS stimulation were quite similar for both groups. In conclusion, we did not observe hyper-responsiveness of monocytes to P. gingivalis LPS challenge in Thai patients with aggressive periodontitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES AND BACKGROUND It is well documented that in periodontitis lesions, most infiltrated gingival T cells are antigen-specific memory T cells. These cells play an important role as regulators and effector cells in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. In this study, we used dendritic cells (DCs) as antigen-presenting cells to generate human gingival T cell lines and clones specific for Porphyromonas gingivalis from periodontitis patients. METHODS Autologous DCs were derived from the patients' adherent monocytes using granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and interleukin (IL)-4. Lymphocytes were isolated from gingival biopsies using collagenase enzyme digestion and the number was increased by subsequent culturing in IL-2-containing medium. T cells were then negatively sorted using flow cytometry, cocultured with P. gingivalis-pulsed DCs and subsequently expanded in the culture medium containing IL-2. T cells were kept viable and active by periodic exposure to antigen-pulsed DCs. The specificity of the T cell lines was tested against four plaque bacteria: P. gingivalis, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Prevotella intermedia and Actinomyces viscosus. The established T cell lines were then cloned. Three P. gingivalis-specific T cell lines and 12 gingival T cell clones were generated. They all showed good specificity against P. gingivalis but not to other plaque bacteria. RESULTS All T cell clones were positive for CD4 and the majority of them produced interferon gamma, but a minimal or negligible amount of IL-5. CONCLUSIONS The data obtained clearly showed that monocyte-derived DCs could be used as powerful antigen-presenting cells to generate antigen-specific T cells from periodontitis tissues.

Abstract
T cells and their cytokines are well known for their important role in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. To date, the role of antigen presenting cells (APCs), which are known to be critical in the regulation of T cell response, has been poorly investigated in periodontitis. In this study, we analyzed the expression of co-stimulatory molecules (CD80 and CD86) and CD83, which is a marker of mature dendritic cells, on gingival cells that were isolated from severe periodontitis tissues, with the use of flow cytometry. Significant upregulation of CD86 and CD83 expression was detected in periodontitis lesions, and most of this occurred on B cells. In vitro peripheral blood mononuclear cell cultures showed that stimulation with different periodontopathic bacteria, that included Porphyromonas gingivalis, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Prevotella intermedia, and Actinomyces viscosus, upregulated both CD86 and CD83 expression on B cells. Therefore, the presence of plaque bacteria may be responsible for the enhanced expression seen in vivo on gingival B cells. APC function by bacterial-activated B cells was further investigated using allogeneic mixed leukocyte reactions. After 24 h culture with either A. actinomycetemcomitans or P. gingivalis, these activated B cells performed as potent APCs in mixed leukocyte reactions, and they stimulated T cells to produce high levels of gamma interferon and minimal interleukin-5. In conclusion, periodontopathic bacterial-induced B cell activation with upregulation of CD86 and CD83 may be associated with enhanced APC function. The results of this study suggest, therefore, that infiltrated gingival B cells have a possible role as APCs in the regulation and maintenance of local T cell response in periodontitis.
