Gingival epithelium plays a pivotal role in protecting the underlying periodontium from the microbial colonization found in the gingival sulcus. Having an appropriate phenotype displayed by gingival epithelial cells is a critical host component required for protection against bacterial invasion into gingival tissues. In the present study, gingival epithelial homeostasis associated with the CXCL-8/IL-8 chemokine response was investigated in vitro to determine the mechanisms that gingival epithelial cells utilize for sensing gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms. The findings of this study have demonstrated, by using Fusobacterium nucleatum, a heterogeneity of gingival epithelial cell response by Toll-li... More
