Abstract: Objective: To explore the mechanism of PPARγ in periodontitis. Methods: Human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) were cultured in tissue blocks. Cells were divided into four groups. Group A: normal control group; Group B:LPS group; Group C: rosiglitazone control group; Group D: rosiglitazone group. Expression of PPARγ and NF-κB p65 were detected by western blot. Cell immunofluorescence was employed to determine the location of NF-κB p65 in hPDLCs. RNA expression of IL-1β and TNF-α was detected by realtime PCR and protein expression was detected by ELISA. Results: After stimulated by LPS, protein expression of PPARγ decreased and NF-κB p65 increased in cellular nuclei. Moreover, the RNA and protein expression of IL-1β and TNF-α were significantly increased. When stimulated by LPS and rosiglitazone, protein expression of PPARγ increased and NF-κB p65 decreased in cellular nuclei, and the RNA and protein expression of IL-1β and TNF-α significantly decreased.These difference were statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusion: PPARγ inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced RNA expression and protein secretion of cytokines in human periodontal ligament cells via downregulation of NF-κB signaling pathway, and then regulate inflammatory responses in periodontal disease.
