Purpose: To observe the effect of lipopolysaccharides(LPS) extracted from Porphyromonas endodontalis(P.e) and Porphyromonas gingivals(P.g) on the expression of CD14 and TLRs in osteoblast.
Methods: MC3T3-E1 cells were stimulated with 10μg/mL P.e-LPS and P.g-LPS. The change of CD14,TLR2 and TLR4 mRNA was observed at different time point (0,1,3,6,12,24h) using RT-PCR,and the expression of CD14,TLR2 and TLR4 protein was measured by flow cytometry at 24-hour. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA and Dunnett t test with SPSS11.0 software package.
Results: MC3T3-E1 cells were stimulated with 10μg/mL P.e-LPS for 1h,the expression of CD14 and TLR4 mRNA increased significantly. There was no increase of TLR2 mRNA with stimulation of P.e-LPS. The CD14,TLR2 and TLR4 mRNA expression increased significantly after stimulation with 10μg/mL P.g-LPS. Flow cytometry showed that CD14 and TLR4 protein increased significantly after stimulation with 10μg/mL P.e-LPS. CD14,TLR2 and TLR4 protein increased significantly after treatment with 10μg/mL P.g-LPS.
Conclusions: CD14,TLR4 receptors are involved in P.e-LPS effect and CD14,TLR2 and TLR4 receptors are involved in P.g-LPS effect in mouse osteoblast.
