Mucosal inflammatory responses are orchestrated largely by proinflammatory chemokines. We aimed to evaluate the expression of the chemokine GCP-2 in clinically healthy vs. diseased gingival tissues and to explore possible correlations with clinical and microbiological markers of periodontitis. The chemokine granulocyte chemotactic protein 2 (GCP-2/CXCL6) is involved in neutrophil recruitment and migration. Previous studies showed that GCP-2 is upregulated in mucosal inflammation, e.g., in inflammatory bowel disease, similarly to the functionally and structurally related chemokine interleukin 8 (IL-8). Nevertheless, unlike IL-8, a role of GCP-2 in gingival inflammation has not yet been demonstrated. Gene expression in 184 ‘diseased’ and 63 ‘healthy’ gingival tissue specimens from 90 periodontitis patients was analyzed using Affymetrix U133Plus2.0 arrays. GCP-2 expression was further confirmed by real time RT-PCR, western blotting and ELISA while the localization of GCP-2 protein in the gingival tissues was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Plaque samples from the adjacent periodontal pockets were collected and evaluated for 11 periodontal species using checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridizations. Among all known chemokines, GCP-2 mRNA was the most expressed (3.8 fold, p<1.1×10−16) in ‘diseased’ vs. ‘healthy’ tissue, as compared to a 2.6 fold increased expression of IL-8 mRNA (p<1.2×10−15). Increased expression of GCP-2 correlated with higher levels of ‘red’ and ‘orange’ complex pathogens and with increased probing depth, but not with attachment loss. Immuno-histochemistry showed that GCP-2 was expressed in gingival vascular endothelium. GCP-2 correlates with the severity of periodontitis and appears to act as a hitherto unrecognized functional adjunct to IL-8 in diseased gingival tissues.
