Synergistic enhancement of collagenous protein synthesis by human gingival fibroblasts exposed to nifedipine and interleukin‐1‐beta in vitro

Abstract: Gingival overgrowth commonly occurs coincident to therapy with calcium channel blockers. The biologic mechanism for this condition is unknown; however, many clinicians suggest that poor oral hygiene may contribute to development of the overgrowth. This study tests the hypothesis that collagenous protein synthesis by gingival fibroblasts is synergistically enhanced when they are exposed to both nifedipine (N) and the pro‐inflammatory cytokine, interleukin‐1‐beta, a cytokine expressed in inflamed gingiva.

“…23 Interleukin-6 has been shown to target connective tissue cells, such as fibroblasts, both by enhancing their proliferation and by increasing collagen production and glycosaminoglycan synthesis. 24 This highlights the role of the bacterial biofilm in inducing gingival inflammation, production of cytokines and gingival enlargement.…”

“…It has been hypothesized that vulnerability or resistance to drug induced gingival enlargement may be caused by the existence of variable proportions of fibroblast subsets in each individual thus eliciting a fibrogenic response. [34] As far as the role of inflammatory cytokines is concerned, it was proven that when human gingival fibroblasts were simultaneously exposed to nifedipine and pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1b and IL-6), that are elevated in inflamed gingival tissues, an up regulation of synthesis of collagen was observed. [45] It has also been postulated that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) which are implicated in gingival enlargement may interfere with the synthesis and function of collagenases.…”

“…Some hypotheses have suggested the role of factors such as 1) fibroblasts [2732], 2) inflammatory cytokines [30, 3336], and 3) matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) synthesis [31]. CsA, nifedipine, and phenytoin promote the modeling of periodontal fibroblasts through the synthesis of gingival fibroblasts or inhibition of the decomposition of gingival fibroblasts [2731].…”

“…CsA, nifedipine, and phenytoin promote the modeling of periodontal fibroblasts through the synthesis of gingival fibroblasts or inhibition of the decomposition of gingival fibroblasts [2731]. Phenytoin may increase the level of translatable collagen mRNA in human gingival fibroblast [32], while CsA, nifedipine, and phenytoin enhance the synthesis of collagenous proteins in vitro [30, 3336]. In the case of human gingival fibroblasts simultaneously exposed to nifedipine and interleukin-1β [33], an enhancement of collagenous protein synthesis was observed [33].…”
