ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the mechanisms of Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) infection-mediated enhancement of adhesion between monocytes THP-1 and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) by detecting the effect of erythropoietin producing hepatomocellular receptor interacting protein B2 (Ephrin B2) and its receptors on the adhesion.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>PgATCC33277 was cultured in an anaerobic jar, and THP-1 cells were infected with various concentrations of Pg at multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1100 for 8 and 24 h, respectively. The expression of Ephrin B2 receptor of THP-1 cells was detected. After removal of the free Pg, THP-1 cells were cocultured with HUVEC (overexpress of EphrinB2 or not) for 24 h to detect the expression of Ephrin B2 of HUVEC cells after additional cultivation for 23 h.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The adhesion of THP-1 cells post infection by Pg to HUVEC was enhanced. The mRNA levels of Ephrin B2 receptors, including EphB3 (5.169±0.152, P = 0.005), EphB4 (11.040±1.195, P = 0.001), and EphA4 (4.976± 0.122, P = 0.001) expressed by THP-1, and Ephrin B2 (8.938±0.962, P = 0.008) expressed by HUVEC were significantly elevated 24 h post infection of Pg. Over expression of Ephrin B2 in HUVEC promoted the adhesion of THP-1 to HUVEC.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Ephrin B2 and its receptors are involved in Pg infection mediated enhancement of the adhesion of THP-1 to HUVEC cells, suggesting that Ephrin B2 participates in the development of atherosclerosis.</p>
