Background/purposePorphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) could induce the activation of vascular endothelial cells and promote the formation of atherosclerosis. Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain containing (NLRP) 6 could recognizeP. gingivalis,but its role in atherosclerosis was unknown. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of NLRP6 in the activation of inflammation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) stimulated byP. gingivalis.Materials and methodsThe expression level of NLRP6 in HUVECs with or withoutP. gingivalis-challenge was observed. Down-regulating the expression of NLRP6 in HUVECs, the expression levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 were detected. Then, the HUVECs with NLRP6-overexpressed were stimulated byP. gingivalis, the levels of inflammatory cytokines above were examined and compared with those in HUVECs triggered byP. gingivalisonly. To evaluate the effect of NLRP6 on bacterial immune escape, the NLRP6 was overexpressed, and the colonies ofP. gingivalisthat survived in HUVECs were calculated.ResultsNLRP6 was expressed in HUVECs and decreased afterP. gingivalisstimulation. Downregulation of NLRP6 decreased the expression levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α and MCP-1 in HUVECs. Those cytokines above in NLRP6-overexpressed HUVECs withP. gingivalis-stimulation significantly increased than in the cells withP. gingivalis-stimulation only. Furthermore, over-expression of NLRP6 decreased the colonies ofP. gingivalissurvival in HUVECs.ConclusionNLRP6 regulated the activation of inflammation in HUVECs triggered byP. gingivalisand played an important role inP. gingivalissurvival in endothelial cells.
