Aim: Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (LPS) displays a significant amount of structural heterogeneity, containing both tetra-(LPS1435/1449) and penta-acylated (LPS1690) lipid A structures. This study investigated the effects of the two isoforms of P. gingivalis LPS on the expression of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-alpha in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs).Materials and methods: HGFs were stimulated with P. gingivalis LPS1435/1449 and LPS1690 in both dose-(1 ng-10 mu g/ml) and time-dependent (2-48 h) experiments. Total RNA and protein were extracted and used for analysis of the IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-a transcripts as well as IL-6 and IL-8 proteins, by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively.Results: P. gingivalis LPS1690 significantly up-regulated the mRNA and protein expression of IL-6 and IL-8, whereas P. gingivalis LPS1435/1449 did not induce significant host response. The expression levels of IL-6 and IL-8 up-regulated by P. gingivalis LPS1690 continuously increased with time course. In contrast, TNF-alpha transcript expression was up-regulated promptly by P. gingivalis LPS1690 after 2 h of stimulation and gradually declined afterwards.Conclusions: This study suggests that P. gingivalis LPS heterogeneity may differentially modulate the pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in HGFs, which may contribute to periodontal pathogenesis.
