RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Oral epithelial cells significantly influence host inflammatory responses against Candida albicans in oropharyngeal candidiasis. Pro-inflammatory cytokines function as an early innate immune system mediator during C. albicans infection in oral epithelial cells. We sought to elucidate the pattern of the molecular mechanisms governing the human gingival epithelial cells (HGECs) to C. albicans infection likely involve multiple converging signal transduction pathways. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Primary HGECs were cultured with C. albicans ATCC90029. Total RNA was extracted after 8 h of infection and monitored mRNA levels using Affymetrix GeneChip (Human Genome U133 plus 2.0 Array, 48 000 genes). GeneChip data was analyzed by GeneSpring software and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis system. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), real-time RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to investigate gene expression changes. RESULTS: The differentially expressed genes represented functions as diverse as immune response and inflammatory disease. IL-8, ICAM-1 and Cox-2 showed a greater than two fold change in expression relative to those in control cells. Altered mRNA levels in GeneChip analysis were confirmed by RT-PCR and real-time RT-PCR. Stronger immunoreactivity against ICAM-1 and Cox-2 was also observed in the infection with C. albicans in rat gingival epithelium. We have identified differential gene expression up-regulated or down-regulated with the up-regulation of IL-8 in C. albicans-treated cells. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that the molecular mechanisms underlying the IL-8 response of HGECs to C. albicans infection likely involve multiple converging signal transduction pathways.

RESUMO

Gingival epithelial cells and fibroblasts play important roles and have a harmonious relationship under normal and disease conditions, but the precise differences between theses cells remain unknown. To study the differences in gene expression between human gingival epithelial cells (HGE) and human gingival fibroblasts (HGF), mRNA was recovered from primary cultured cells and analyzed using cDNA microarray technology. The cDNA retro-transcribed from equal quantities of mRNA was labeled with the fluorescent dyes Cy5 and Cy3. The mixed probes were then hybridized with 7276 genes on the DNA microarray, after which fluorescence signals were scanned and further analyzed using GeneSpring software. Of the 7276 genes screened, 469 showed expression levels that were more than 2-fold greater in HGE than in HGF, while 293 showed expression levels that were more than 2-fold greater in HGF than in HGE. To confirm the reliability of the microarray results, keratin K5 and desmocolin, and vimentin and gp130, which showed higher mRNA levels in HGE and HGF, respectively, were selected and their mRNA levels were further analyzed by RT-PCR. The results of RT-PCR correlated well with those of microarray analysis. The present findings using a DNA microarray to detect differences in the gene expression profiles of HGE and HGF may be beneficial for genetic diagnosis of periodontal tissue metabolism and periodontal diseases.
