Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the influence of baicalin on the IL-1beta induced pro-MMP-1 in HGF and the effects of baicalin on MMP-3 expression in periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs).
METHODSThe amount of secreted pro-MMP-1 and MMP-3 expression was detected by ELISA and cell immunochemistry.
RESULTS(1) The amount of secreted pro-MMP-1 (3.333 +/- 0.123) microg/L increased significantly following 1 microg/L of IL-1beta, compared with control group (1.960 +/- 0.180) microg/L. Addition of baicalin to cell culture medium for 1 hour following IL-1beta decreased pro-MMP-1 secretion in a dose-dependent manner in the range of 10 approximately 1,000 microg/L. (2) 1 microg/L IL-1beta could significantly stimulate the synthesis and secretion of MMP-3 in PDLCs. (3) The baicalin could not interfere the synthesis of MMP-3, but could inhibit the release of MMP-3 from PDLCs.
CONCLUSIONSBaicalin could inhibit the secretion of pro-MMP-1 and MMP-3 expression in IL-1beta induced HGF and PDLCs, which suggests that baicalin may play an important role in preventing and treating periodontal disease.
