Abstract
Oral pathogens such as P. gingivalis, F. nucleatum and A. actinomycetemcomitans significantly elevate cytokine levels in oral epithelial cells. qRT - PCR analysis showed P. gingivalis induced a 4.2-fold increase in IL-1β, 3.8-fold in TNF-α, and 3.5-fold in IL-6 after 24 hours. The other pathogens also triggered a 2.4 to 3.6-fold cytokine rise (p < 0.05). This indicates their role in initiating oral inflammation through pro-inflammatory cytokine activation. Targeted microbial therapy may offer benefits in managing such conditions.
