The effects of diallyl sulfide upon Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide stimulated proinflammatory cytokine expressions and nuclear factor-kappa B activation in human gingival fibroblasts.
    Journal of periodontal research, 2015, Volume: 50, Issue:3

    Diallyl sulfide (DAS), a flavor compound from garlic, has varied potential therapeutic activities. Periodontitis is a disease that develops because of host-mediated inflammation to periodontal pathogens. In this study, the effects of DAS on the common proinflammatory cytokines and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) being stimulated with lipopolysaccharide from Porphyromonas gingivalis, a potent periodontal pathogen, were evaluated.. Cytotoxicities of DAS and lipopolysaccharide on HGFs were measured with MTS assay. The mRNA and protein expressions of proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, from the HGFs treated with lipopolysaccharide with and without DAS were examined with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and immunocytochemistry, respectively. In addition, the activation and nuclear translocation of NF-κB with and without DAS were compared.. DAS and lipopolysaccharide treatments within 3 mm and 10 μg/mL, respectively, did not affect the survival rate of HGFs. Lipopolysaccharide (1 μg/mL) significantly increased the mRNA expressions of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α; however, DAS (1 mm) inhibited these expressions. The protein expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β, as well as the NF-κB nuclear translocation were increased after lipopolysaccharide treatment, but decreased when there was a DAS pretreatment.. DAS diminished P. gingivalis lipopolysaccharide-stimulated cytokine expression and NF-κB activation in HGFs; we therefore suggest DAS may be beneficial on periodontal inflammation.
