Abstract

Interleukin (IL)-6 is a major mediator in a host response against tissue injury and bacterial infection. It is highly released by macrophage, fibroblast and endothelial cells in the inflammatory regions. Recently, it has been studied that the fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 is used in clinical regeneration of dentin-pulp complex lost due to dental caries or trauma. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of IL-6 on the expression of FGF-2 in human dental pulp cells. Dental pulp cells were cultured in the medium with IL-6 at a concentration of 0, 0.1, 1, 10ng/ml for 3 weeks. The expression of FGF-2 in the cells was examined by the method of a real-time PCR. Statistical analysis was done by one-way ANOVA. The localization of FGF-2 in dental pulp cells was also examined by immunohistochemical staining. As a result, a real-time PCR analysis revealed that IL-6 at a concentration of 1 and 10ng/ml inhibited the expression of FGF-2 mRNA in the cultured cells and immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that IL-6 clearly decreased the immunoreaction against FGF-2 in the dental pulp cells. These results indicated that IL-6 inhibited the FGF-2 expression in dental pulp cells.
