IL-36? is a pivotal inflammatory player in periodontitis-associated bone loss.


ABSTRACT: Periodontitis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory disease due to the host response (IL-1?, IL-6, TNF-? and IL-17A) to oral bacteria such as Porphyromonas gingivalis. The newer members of the IL-1 family, IL-36s (IL-36?/IL-36?/IL-36?/IL-36Ra/IL-38) are known to be involved in host defense against P. gingivalis in oral epithelial cells (OECs) and are considered as key inflammatory mediators in chronic diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of IL-36s in periodontitis. We showed here that IL-36? mRNA gingival expression is higher in periodontitis patients, whereas IL-36? and IL-36Ra mRNA expression are lower compared to healthy controls. Interestingly, the elevated IL-36? expression in patients is positively correlated with the RANKL/OPG ratio, an index of bone resorption. In vitro, IL-36? expression was induced through TLR2 activation in primary OECs infected with P. gingivalis but not in gingival fibroblasts, the most widespread cell type in gingival connective tissue. In OECs, recombinant IL-36? enhanced the expression of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1?, IL-6, TNF-? and IL-36?), of TLR2 and importantly, the RANKL/OPG ratio. These findings suggest that IL-36? could be a pivotal inflammatory player in periodontitis by perpetuating gingival inflammation and its associated alveolar bone resorption and could be a relevant therapeutic target.

Periodontitis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory disease due to the host response (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and IL-17A) to oral bacteria such as Porphyromonas gingivalis. The newer members of the IL-1 family, IL-36s (IL-36α/IL-36β/IL-36γ/IL-36Ra/IL-38) are known to be involved in host defense against P. gingivalis in oral epithelial cells (OECs) and are considered as key inflammatory mediators in chronic diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of IL-36s in periodontitis.  ...[more]
