Abstract | Purpose of the study: Follicular dendritic cell-secreted protein (FDC-SP) has been found to be expressed in periodontal ligament (PDL), a layer of soft connective tissue between tooth root and alveolar bone, and involved in immunoreaction. This study was performed to explore the potential role of FDC-SP in periodontal disease. Materials and Methods: The human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) were stimulated with Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and FDC-SP expression was examined by real-time PCR and western blot. Then this molecule was overexpressed or silenced in hPDLCs by transfection of FDC-SP expression plasmids or its small-interfering (si) RNA, respectively, and the effects of FDC-SP on expression of osteogenesis- and osteoclastogenesis-related genes in hPDLCs were analyzed by real-time PCR and western blot. Results: Our results showed that P. gingivalis LPS upregulated FDC-SP expression in hPDLCs. Overexpression of FDC-SP could decrease the expression of osteogenesis-related genes, increase the expression of osteoclastogenesis-related genes and RANKL/OPG ratio in hPDLCs. Meanwhile, silence of FDC-SP expression in hPDLCs remarkably inversed the above results. Conclusions: LPS-induced upregulation of FDC-SP expression in hPDLCs may enhance osteoclastogenesis in periodontal disease. |
