Abstract
Aim
This study aimed to investigate the anti-proliferative effects of resveratrol on gingival fibroblasts derived from amlodipine-induced gingival overgrowths and its impact on the levels of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), collagen type I (COL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), transglutaminase-2 (TGM-2), and superoxide dismutase (SOD), which play critical roles in collagen and extracellular matrix metabolism in gingival enlargement.
Methods
Primary gingival fibroblasts were isolated from patients with amlodipine-induced gingival overgrowth (GO group) and from healthy gingival tissues (H group). Each group was divided into untreated and resveratrol-treated subgroups. Cell proliferation and viability at 24 and 48 h were assessed by MTT assay. The levels of TGF-β1, CTGF, COL-1, IL-6, TGM-2, and SOD were quantified using ELISA.
Results
MTT values were significantly higher in the GO group than in the H group at both 24 and 48 h (p = 0.01). Resveratrol treatment significantly decreased proliferation in the GO group at both time points (p < 0.001). In the GO group, resveratrol reduced TGF-β1 (p = 0.0090), CTGF (p = 0.0090), TGM-2 (p = 0.0088), COL-1 (p = 0.0139), and IL-6 (p = 0.050) levels at 24 h and significantly increased SOD levels (p = 0.0143).
Conclusion
Resveratrol suppressed cellular proliferation without exerting cytotoxic effects in amlodipine-induced GO, while downregulating fibrosis markers (TGF-β1, CTGF, COL-1, IL-6, and TGM-2) and restoring diminished SOD synthesis.
Trial Registiration
This study did not involve a clinical trial and therefore registration was not required
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Periodontal Research is an international research periodical the purpose of which is to publish original clinical and basic investigations and review articles concerned with every aspect of periodontology and related sciences. Brief communications (1-3 journal pages) are also accepted and a special effort is made to ensure their rapid publication. Reports of scientific meetings in periodontology and related fields are also published.
One volume of six issues is published annually.
