Estrogen Modulates Cytokine Expression in Human Periodontal Ligament Cells

Abstract: Although systemic bone loss accompanying estrogen deficiency has been proposed as a risk factor for periodontal disease in post-menopausal women, the mechanisms involved remain unclear. The objective of this study was to elucidate the potential bone-sparing effect of estrogen (17beta-estradiol, E(2)) via modulation of inflammatory cytokine production in human periodontal ligament (hPDL) cells. E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) increased the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, and… Show more

“…The consequence of ovariectomy was an increase in sRANKL levels in all the studied groups. Our results are consistent with data of Shevde et al [17] who have shown suppression of RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation by estrogens via c-Jun repression and results yielded by Shu et al [18] who documented reversion of stimulatory effect of lipopolysaccharide on IL-6 and RANKL expression after estrogen administration. Ovariectomy in mice has been shown to increase IL-6 and RANKL expression in bone tissue [19].…”

“…The study design included the following groups: 1) pregnant women (n=96) who were in their second trimester (weeks [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] or third trimester (weeks 25-34), 2) postpartum women (n=96) who were evaluated 6 months after delivery.…”

“…In vitro, they found a dose of estrogen stimulation enhanced osteogenic differentiation ability by detecting the expression of ER and osteogenic genes (Syed and Khosla 2005;Wang et al 2006). Similarly, estrogen may modulate cytokine expression and regulate the character of human PDLCs (Cao et al 2007;Shu et al 2008). These findings made us wonder whether PDLSCs have the same character when exposed to specific microenvironment such as estrogen-deficient environment.…”
