摘要
Objectives: Filifactor alocis is an emerging periodontal pathogen, and macrophage-produced tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) plays important roles in periodontal pathogenesis. In this study, we investigated F. alocis-stimulated TNF-alpha production in THP-1 macrophagic cells. Design: Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-differentiated THP-1 macrophagic cells were challenged with F. alocis ATCC 35896 for various durations. TNF-alpha mRNA expression and protein secretion were determined using RT-PCR and ELISA, respectively. Activation of protein kinases and transcription factor proteins was evaluated by Western blot analysis. Results: Live F. alocis stimulated THP-1 cells to produce TNF-alpha in a dose-dependent manner. However, glutaraldehyde-killed or heat-killed F. alocis showed no effectiveness for TNF-alpha induction. In contrast, both live and killed Porphyromonas gingivalis robustly increased TNF-alpha expression. Furthermore, F. alocis was unable to stimulate TNF-alpha expression in Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) knockout THP-1 cells. F. alocis activated all three mitogen-activated protein kinases: extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). Pharmacological inhibition of ERK and JNK, but not p38, significantly reduced F. alocis-induced TNF-alpha production. Finally, increased levels of phospho-c-Jun were detected in F. alocis-stimulated THP-1 cells. Conclusions: These results suggest that F. alocis induces TNF-alpha production in THP-1 macrophagic cells primarily by activating the TLR2, JNK, and c-Jun pathways.
