Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS-induced IL-1β and IL-8 Expression by Reducing MAPK Activation in THP-1 Cells

DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2016.081
Synopsis: 
The study investigated the inhibitory effects of alpha-mangostin on Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling in THP-1 cells. The results indicated that alpha-mangostin suppresses the production of IL-1β and IL-8 in P. gingivalis LPS-stimulated THP-1 cells, possibly by reduction the activation of MAPK pathway. These findings suggest the possible use of alpha-mangostin as an anti-inflammatory agent in adjunctive treatment of periodontitis.
