Odontoblasts and fibroblasts are suspected to influence the innate immune response triggered in the dental pulp by micro-organisms that progressively invade the human tooth during the caries process. To determine whether they differ in their responses to oral pathogens, we performed a systematic comparative analysis of odontoblast-like cell and pulp fibroblast responses to TLR2-, TLR3-, and TLR4-specific agonists ( lipoteichoic acid [ LTA], double-stranded RNA, and lipopolysaccharide [ LPS], respectively). Cells responded to these agonists by differential upregulation of chemokine gene expression. CXCL2 and CXCL10 were thus increased by LTA only in odontoblast- like cells, while LPS increased CCL7, CCL26, and CXCL11 only in fibroblasts. Supernatants of stimulated cultures increased migration of immature dendritic cells compared with controls, odontoblast- like cells being more potent attractants than fibroblasts. Analysis of these data suggests that odontoblasts and pulp fibroblasts differ in their innate immune responses to oral micro-organisms that invade the pulp tissue.
