In the oral cavity, mucosal keratinocytes resist bacterial infection, in part, by producing broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) including defensin, adrenomedullin and calprotectin. Epidermal keratinocyte expression of many AMPs increases in response to interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha). IL-1 alpha is produced by epidermal keratinocytes and regulates cell differentiation. To better understand innate immunity in the oral cavity, we sought to determine how IL-1 alpha might regulate expression of AMPs by human gingival keratinocytes (HGKs) using DNA microarray and Western blot analyses. HGKs from three subjects expressed eleven AMPs, including S100A7, S100A8, S100A9, S100Al2, secretory leucocyte protease inhibitor, lipocalin 2 (LCN2), cystatin C and beta-defensin 2. Of the expressed AMPs, S100A7, S100Al2 and LCN2 were up-regulated by IL-1 alpha (inducible AMPs); the other AMPs were considered to be constitutive. Human gingival keratinocytes, therefore, express constitutive and IL-1 alpha-inducible AMPs to provide a rapid and robust innate response to microbial infection. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
