Background, aims: The effect of triclosan (2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxyl-diphenyl ether) on the production of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and the expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigen was studied in human gingival fibroblasts isolated from 4 individuals.Methods/Results: AII cell lines demonstrated high IFN-gamma production in 24-h cultures of human gingival fibroblasts stimulated by phytohemagglutinin (PHA) (5 mu g/ml). Human gingival fibroblasts showed a high expression of MHC class II when stimulated with 500 and 1000 pg/ml rIFN-gamma in ri-day cultures. Treatment of the cells with triclosan (0.5 mu g/ml) reduced both IFN-gamma production and MHC class II expression in human gingival fibroblast cultures. Similar inhibitory effects on IFN-gamma production and MHC class II expression were observed when the anti-inflammatory agent dexamethazone (1 mu M) was used.Conclusion: The present study further supports the view that the agent has an anti-inflammatory effect in addition to its antibacterial capacity.
