Abstract

Glucose-derived metabolites may alter the structure and biologic properties of important proteins in periodontium, such as collagens. As a consequence, it is possible that collagen-binding cells may change their phenotypic traits. Although the glucose-derived product methylglyoxal (MGO) has been detected in periodontal lesions, the precise effect of collagen glycation on gingival connective tissue biology is not fully understood. The present study evaluates whether collagen glycation by MGO may affect phenotypic properties and remodeling capacity of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). Primary cultures of HGFs were grown on Type I collagen matrices previously treated with MGO. Cell cultures were tested for cell viability, apoptosis, α-smooth muscle actin (SMA), fibronectin (FN) production, and collagen remodeling. Mechanical properties and morphology of MGO-treated collagen gels were evaluated using rheometry and atomic force microscopy. Statistical analysis was performed by Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. MGO-treated collagen did not affect cell viability or apoptosis. In addition, MGO did not induce significant changes in morphology or mechanical properties of the collagen matrix. However, MGO-treated collagen stimulat...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
