Treponema Denticola와 Treponema Lecithinolyticum이 치주인대세포에 미치는 영향

This study was investigated to observe the effect of Treponema denticola(TDC) and Treponema lecithinolyticum(TLC) on cultured human periodontal ligament cells. Several experiments were performed including MTT test for the inhibition effect of cell proliferation, LDH test for the cytotoxicity , gelatin zymography for the gelatinase activation and observation of cell morphology change using the phase-contrast microscopy. The results were as follows. 1. The effect of concentration on cell proliferation with time showed an inhibitory effect at high concentration $(150{\mu}g/well)$ for TLC and at low concentration( $9.4{\mu}gwell$ ) for TDC. 2. The effect of time on cell proliferation with concentration showed an inhibitory effect at $150{\mu}g/well$ on 2-day incubation for TLC and at $9.4{\mu}g/well$ on 2-day incubation for TDC. 3. The effect of heat-treated TDC and TLC on the inhibition of cell proliferation showed the difference in the heat-treated group compared to the non-heat treated group for TDC, whereas no difference was found for TLC. 4. The morphological changes which were observed from the phase-contrast microscopy showed the difference in the test group compared to the control group. The loss of spindle-like appearance, cell-to-cell detachment and inhibition of cell proliferation were observed. 5. There was no difference of the cytotoxicity effect between the test group and the control group in the LDH test. 6. The active form of progelatinase A with molecular weight 72kDa was activated in both TDC and TLC on the gelatin zymography. Regarding to the above results, TDC and TLC have an effect on periodontal ligament cells by playing an inhibitory role in cell proliferation and appears to activate progelatinase A which degrades type IV collagen. 본 연구에서는 치주질환과 관련이 깊은 것으로 알려진 구강내 spirochetes 균 중 Treponema denticola(TDC)와 가장 최근에 분리 배양된 Treponema lecithinolyticum(TLC)이 치주인대세포에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 두 spirochtes 균주를 배양한후 MTT test를 이용한 치주인대 세포의 증식 억제효과를 알아보았다. 또한, 위상차 현미경을 이용한 세포형태의 변화를 관찰 하였으며, LDH(lactate dehydrogenase) test를 이용한 세포독성 실험과, gelatin zymography를 시행하여 교원질 분해효소의 하나인 gelatinase의 활성화 여부를 측정한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 일정한 반응시간에서 농도에 따른 세포증식 억제효과에서는 TLC의 경우 높은 농도$(150{\mu}g/well)$에서부터 세포증식 억제 효과가 나타났으며, TDC에서는 낮은 농도$(9.4{\mu}g/well)$에서도 억제 효과가 나타났다. 2. 일정한 농도에서 시간에 따른 세포증식 억제효과에서는 TLC의 경우 2일째 $150{\mu}g/well$ 농도에서부터 세포증식 억제효과가 나타났으며, TDC에서는 $9.4{\mu}g/well$ 농도에서는 2일째에 세포증식 억제효과가 나타났다. 3. 열처리한 세균의 세포증식 억제 효과에서는 TDC의 경우에서 열처리 시킨 경우와 그렇지 않은 경우에 차이가 나타났으나, TLC
