BACKGROUND: Interleukin (IL)-1beta is a key cytokine in the pathogenesis of periodontitis, and it induces inflammatory mediators in periodontal diseases. We developed immortalized human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs), investigated the effects of IL-1beta on the gene expression using expression arrays containing approximately 40,000 genes, and tested the role of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) in maintaining an activated HGF population. METHODS: Total RNA was isolated from IL-1beta-induced and mock-induced control cells. Gene expression analyses were performed using expression arrays and confirmed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Western blot analysis to show inhibitor of kappa B-alpha (IkappaBalpha) phosphorylation and immunostaining of cells for NF-kappaB nuclear translocation were performed. Apoptosis was confirmed by assay of poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) cleavage. RESULTS: A total of 382 probe sets corresponding to 254 genes were differentially expressed in IL-1beta-induced cells (P <0.001). A total of 215 genes were upregulated, and 39 genes were downregulated. Most notable NF-kappaB pathway members (NFkappaB1, NFkappaB2, IkappaBalpha, IkappaBepsilon, IkappaBzeta, REL, RELB, and TA-NFKBH) were upregulated. IkappaBalpha was phosphorylated, and NF-kappaB accumulated in the nucleus. An IL-1beta-induced set of 27 genes was downregulated by an NF-kappaB inhibitor, leading to a decreased number of viable cells and suggesting an antiapoptotic role for NF-kappaB. CONCLUSIONS: IL-1beta leads to a large number of significant expression changes consistent with a pathologic role in periodontitis, including enhancement of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, transcription factors, matrix metalloproteinases, adhesion molecules, and especially NF-kappaB-dependent antiapoptotic genes. NF-kappaB activation blocks apoptosis, thereby stabilizing the HGF population in inflammation.
