Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, inflammation, subsequent collagen production, and reduced proteinase expression cooperatively contribute to cyclosporin-A-induced gingival overgrowth development.

Abstract
Drug-induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO), induced by certain immunosuppressive drugs, antihypertensive agents, and antiepileptic drugs, may contribute to the formation of deeper periodontal pockets and intractableness in periodontitis. To date, multiple factors such as enhanced matrix production, inflammation, and reduced matrix degradation might be involved in the pathogenesis of DIGO. We have previously reported that SPOCK-1, a heparan sulfate proteoglycan, could affect gingival thickening by promoting epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in gingival keratinocytes. However, few studies have investigated whether a combination of these factors enhances the DIGO phenotype in animal models. Therefore, we investigated whether SPOCK-1, periodontal inflammation, and cyclosporin-A (CsA) could cooperatively promote gingival overgrowth. We first confirmed that Spock-1 overexpressing (Spock1-Tg) mice showed significantly thicker gingiva and greater alveolar bone loss than WT mice in response to ligature-induced experimental periodontitis. DIGO was induced by the combination of CsA administration and experimental periodontitis was significantly enhanced in Spock1-Tg mice compared to that in WT mice. Ligature-induced alveolar bone loss in CsA-treated Spock1-Tg mice was also significantly greater than that in CsA-treated WT mice, while being accompanied by an increase in Rankl and Col1a1 levels and a reduction in matrix metalloprotease expression. Lastly, SPOCK-1 promoted RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation in both human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and murine macrophages, while peritoneal macrophages from Spock1-Tg mice showed less TNFα and IL-1β secretion than WT mice in response to Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide. These results suggest that EMT, periodontal inflammation, and subsequent enhanced collagen production and reduced proteinase production contribute to CsA-induced DIGO pathogenesis.

Abstract
Drug-induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO) is one of the side effects produced by therapeutic agents, most commonly phenytoin, nifedipine and cyclosporin A. However, the precise mechanism of DIGO is not entirely understood. A literature search of the MEDLINE/PubMed databases was conducted to identify the mechanisms involved in DIGO. The available information suggests that the pathogenesis of DIGO is multifactorial, but common pathogenic sequelae of events emerge, i.e., sodium and calcium channel antagonism or disturbed intracellular handling of calcium, which finally lead to reductions in intracellular folic acid levels. Disturbed cellular functions, mainly in keratinocytes and fibroblasts, result in increased collagen and glycosaminoglycans accumulation in the extracellular matrix. Dysregulation of collagenase activity, as well as integrins and membrane receptors, are key mechanisms of reduced degradation or excessive synthesis of connective tissue components. This manuscript describes the cellular and molecular factors involved in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition and extracellular matrix remodeling triggered by agents producing DIGO.

Abstract
Periodontal diseases include periodontitis and gingival overgrowth. Periodontitis is a bacterial infectious disease, and its pathological cascade is regulated by many inflammatory cytokines secreted by immune or tissue cells, such as interleukin-6. In contrast, gingival overgrowth develops as a side effect of specific drugs, such as immunosuppressants, anticonvulsants, and calcium channel blockers. Human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) are the most abundant cells in gingival connective tissue, and human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPLFs) are located between the teeth and alveolar bone. HGFs and HPLFs are both crucial for the remodeling and homeostasis of periodontal tissue, and their roles in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases have been examined for 25 years. Various responses by HGFs or HPLFs contribute to the progression of periodontal diseases. This review summarizes the biological effects of HGFs and HPLFs on the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown that treatment with aromatase inhibitors contributes to an increased prevalence of periodontitis. OBJECTIVE In this study, we assessed effects of the aromatase inhibitor anastrozole on cellular function of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and endothelial cells. METHODS Expression levels of collagen, extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) were examined in HGFs exposed to anastrozole. Furthermore, inflammatory responses in HGFs cultured with anastrozole were evaluated in the presence of Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide. We also evaluated the vascular permeability and vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin expression of endothelial cells exposed to anastrozole. RESULTS Anastrozole enhanced expression levels of collagen, ECM proteins, TIMPs, and inflammatory cytokines in HGFs, as well as vascular permeability of endothelial cells. In addition, anastrozole reduced expression levels of MMPs in HGFs and VE-cadherin in endothelial cells. CONCLUSION These results suggest that anastrozole modulates various cellular functions in HGFs and endothelial cells.

Abstract
Background:Phenytoin induced gingival overgrowth, a side effect with multifactorial aetiology, is characterized by an increase in the volume of extracellular tissues, particularly collagenous components, with varying degrees of inflammation.Objective:The aim of this paper is to review the available literature regarding the pathophysiological mechanisms of phenytoin induced gingival overgrowth.Methods:A thorough literature search of the PubMed/ Embase/ Web of science/ Cochrane central database was conducted to identify the mechanisms involved in the process of phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth using the following keywords: Phenytoin; Anticonvulsant; Gingival Overgrowth; Gingival Enlargement, Gingival Hyperplasia; Drug Induced Gingival Enlargement; Drug Induced Gingival OvergrowthResults:According to the available evidence, several mechanisms have been proposed addressing the pathophysiological mechanism of phenytoin induced gingival overgrowth both at a cellular and molecular level. Evidence suggests that the inflammatory changes in the gingival tissues orchestrate the interaction between phenytoin and fibroblasts particularly resulting in an increase in the extracellular matrix content.Conclusion:However, the mechanism of production of inflammatory mediators is not fully understood. This, together with the high prevalence of Phenytoin induced gingival overgrowth, warrants further research in this area in order to develop treatment and preventive strategies for the management of this condition.

Abstract
Objectives: To prove the role of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) in the pathogenesis of phenytoin influenced gingival overgrowth (PIGO) in children and young adults. Study design: Thirty male individuals who are to start with oral phenytoin therapy were recruited for the study. All the 30 individuals underwent full mouth scaling and root planning and were then followed up for a period of one year at intervals of 3 months each. Based on the clinical gingival status they were divided into group1 (responders) individuals who showed gingival overgrowth (GO) and group 2 (non responders) individuals who do not show any GO. Gingival tissue samples were obtained from both the groups at the end of 1 year and subjected to immuno histochemical analysis for E-cadherin expression and histo-pathological for alteration in the basement membrane and confirmation of the fibrosis. Results: Decrease in expression of E cadherin, loss of basement membrane integrity and fibrosis were noted on responder group when compared to non responder group at p<0.001. Fibrosis was seen in the epithelial connective tissue junction. Conclusion: Decrease in cell adhesion, degradation of basement membrane and presence of fibrosis could suggest the role of EMT in the pathogenesis of PIGO.

Abstract
Gingival overgrowth occurs mainly as a result of certain anti-seizure, immunosuppressive, or antihypertensive drug therapies. Excess gingival tissues impede oral function and are disfiguring. Effective oral hygiene is compromised in the presence of gingival overgrowth, and it is now recognized that this may have negative implications for the systemic health of affected patients. Recent studies indicate that cytokine balances are abnormal in drug-induced forms of gingival overgrowth. Data supporting molecular and cellular characteristics that distinguish different forms of gingival overgrowth are summarized, and aspects of gingival fibroblast extracellular matrix metabolism that are unique to gingival tissues and cells are reviewed. Abnormal cytokine balances derived principally from lymphocytes and macrophages, and unique aspects of gingival extracellular matrix metabolism, are elements of a working model presented to facilitate our gaining a better understanding of mechanisms and of the tissue specificity of gingival overgrowth.

Abstract
Mucolipidosis II (MLII) is a severe systemic genetic disorder caused by defects in mannose 6-phosphate-dependent targeting of multiple lysosomal hydrolases and subsequent lysosomal accumulation of non-degraded material. MLII patients exhibit marked facial coarseness and gingival overgrowth soon after birth, accompanied with delayed tooth eruption and dental infections. To examine the pathomechanisms of early craniofacial and dental abnormalities, we analyzed mice with an MLII patient mutation that mimic the clinical and biochemical symptoms of MLII patients. The mouse data were compared with clinical and histological data of gingiva and teeth from MLII patients. Here, we report that progressive thickening and porosity of calvarial and mandibular bones, accompanied by elevated bone loss due to 2-fold higher number of osteoclasts cause the characteristic craniofacial phenotype in MLII. The analysis of postnatal tooth development by microcomputed tomography imaging and histology revealed normal dentin and enamel formation, and increased cementum thickness accompanied with accumulation of storage material in cementoblasts of MLII mice. Massive accumulation of storage material in subepithelial cells as well as disorganization of collagen fibrils led to gingival hypertrophy. Electron and immunofluorescence microscopy, together with (35)S-sulfate incorporation experiments revealed the accumulation of non-degraded material, non-esterified cholesterol and glycosaminoglycans in gingival fibroblasts, which was accompanied by missorting of various lysosomal proteins (α-fucosidase 1, cathepsin L and Z, Npc2, α-l-iduronidase). Our study shows that MLII mice closely mimic the craniofacial and dental phenotype of MLII patients and reveals the critical role of mannose 6-phosphate-dependent targeting of lysosomal proteins for alveolar bone, cementum and gingiva homeostasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To analyze the role of proinflammatory cytokines in drug-induced gingival enlargement in Indian population. AIM To evaluate for the presence of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in drug-induced gingival enlargement and to compare it with healthy control in the absence of enlargement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-five patients selected for the study and divided into control group (10) and study group (25) consisting of phenytoin (10); cyclosporin (10) and nifedipine (5) induced gingival enlargement. Gingival overgrowth index of Seymour was used to assess overgrowth and allot groups. Under LA, incisional biopsy done, tissue sample fixed in 10% formalin and immunohistochemically evaluated for the presence of IL-6 using LAB-SA method, Labeled- Streptavidin-Biotin Method (LAB-SA kit from Zymed- 2(nd) generation LAB-SA detection system, Zymed Laboratories, CA). The results of immunohistochemistry were statistically analyzed using Kruskaal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS The data obtained from immunohistochemistry assessment shows that drug-induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO) samples express more IL-6 than control group and cyclosporin expresses more IL-6 followed by phenytoin and nifedipine. CONCLUSION Increased IL-6 expression was noticed in all three DIGO groups in comparison with control group. Among the study group, cyclosporin expressed maximum IL-6 expression followed by phenytoin and nifedipine.

Abstract
Drug-induced gingival enlargement (DIGE) is a fibrotic condition that can be caused by the antihypertensive drug nifedipine and the anti-seizure drug phenytoin, but the molecular etiology of this type of fibrosis is not well understood and the role of confounding factors such as inflammation remains to be fully investigated. The aim of this study was to develop an ex vivo gingival explant system to allow investigation of the effects of nifedipine and phenytoin alone on human gingival tissue. Comparisons were made to the histology of human DIGE tissue retrieved from individuals with DIGE. Increased collagen, fibronectin, and proliferating fibroblasts were evident, but myofibroblasts were not detected in DIGE samples caused by nifedipine and phenytoin. In healthy gingiva cultured in nifedipine or phenytoin-containing media, the number of cells positive for p-SMAD2/3 increased, concomitant with increased CCN2 and periostin immunoreactivity compared to untreated explants. Collagen content assessed through hydroxyproline assays was significantly higher in tissues cultured with either drug compared to control tissues, which was confirmed histologically. Matrix fibronectin levels were also qualitatively greater in tissues treated with either drug. No significant differences in proliferating cells were observed between any of the conditions. Our study demonstrates that nifedipine and phenytoin activate canonical transforming growth factor-beta signaling, CCN2 and periostin expression, as well as increase collagen density, but do not influence cell proliferation or induce myofibroblast differentiation. We conclude that in the absence of confounding variables, nifedipine and phenytoin alter matrix homeostasis in gingival tissue explants ex vivo, and drug administration is a significant factor influencing ECM accumulation in gingival enlargement.

Abstract
Gingival overgrowth is caused in response to the antiepileptic drug phenytoin (PHT). PHT-induced gingival overgrowth is characterized by the proliferation of fibroblasts and increased collagen formation in gingiva. Fibroblast proliferation is regulated through the cell cycle. Thus, in the present study, we examined the effects of PHT on the cell cycle, the expression of cell cycle control proteins and the proliferation in human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs). Cells were stimulated in serum-free DMEM with or without 0.25 μm PHT. Subsequently, the cell cycle phase distribution and the protein expression after 24 h and the cell proliferation after 24, 48 and 72 h were evaluated. PHT significantly inhibited synchronization at the G₀/G₁ phase of the cell cycle in hGFs through serum starvation. Stimulation with PHT for 48 and 72 h significantly induced a proliferative response in hGFs. PHT decreased the expression of the Cdk-inhibitory proteins p21 and p27 and increased the levels of the S phase-promoting proteins phospho-Thr160-Cdk2 and phospho-Ser807/811-Rb in serum-free DMEM. The inhibition of G₁ cell cycle arrest in hGFs may result from an increase in phosphorylated Cdk2 and Rb proteins and decreased levels of p21 and p27 proteins by PHT. The gingival overgrowth may be caused by the failure of the G1 cell cycle arrest in GFs exposed to PHT.

Abstract
Gingival overgrowth is a common adverse effect of therapy with Phenytoin, having important medical and cosmetic implications. Poor periodontal hygiene is an important risk factor for severity of Phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth (PIGO), which is a time-dependent process. There is complex interplay of altered fibroblast biology, connective tissue turnover, inflammatory processes, and growth factors on a background of genetic susceptibility to produce increase in various components of interstitial matrix in PIGO tissue. Treatment options have included change of PHT to another anti-seizure drug, measures to improve periodontal hygiene and gingivectomy. There is conclusive evidence that folic acid supplementation significantly decreases the incidence of PIGO.

Abstract
The pharmacological inhibition or genetic ablation of cyclophilin-D (CypD), a critical regulator of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), confers myocardial resistance to acute ischemia-reperfusion injury, but its role in post-myocardial infarction (MI) heart failure is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine whether mitochondrial CypD is also a therapeutic target for the treatment of post-MI heart failure. Wild-type (WT) and CypD(-/-) mice were subjected to either sham surgery or permanent ligation of the left main coronary artery to induce MI, and were assessed at either 2 or 28 days to determine the long-term effects of CypD ablation. After 2 days, myocardial infarct size was smaller and left ventricular (LV) function was better preserved in CypD(-/-) mice compared to WT mice. After 28 days, when compared to WT mice, in the CypD(-/-) mice, mortality was halved, myocardial infarct size was reduced, LV systolic function was better preserved, LV dilatation was attenuated and in the remote non-infarcted myocardium, there was less cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis. Finally, ex vivo fibroblast proliferation was found to be reduced in CypD(-/-) cardiac fibroblasts, and in WT cardiac fibroblasts treated with the known CypD inhibitors, cyclosporin-A and sanglifehrin-A. Following an MI, mice lacking CypD have less mortality, smaller infarct size, better preserved LV systolic function and undergo less adverse LV remodelling. These findings suggest that the inhibition of mitochondrial CypD may be a novel therapeutic treatment strategy for post-MI heart failure.

Abstract
Gingival overgrowth (GO) is a side effect associated with some distinct classes of drugs, such as anticonvulsants, immunosuppressant, and calcium channel blockers. GO is characterized by the accumulation of extracellular matrix in gingival connective tissues, particularly collagenous components, with varying degrees of inflammation. One of the main drugs associated with GO is the antiepileptic phenytoin, which affects gingival tissues by altering extracellular matrix metabolism. Nevertheless, the pathogenesis of such drug-induced GO remains fulfilled by some contradictory findings. This paper aims to present the most relevant studies regarding the molecular, immune, and inflammatory aspects of phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present study was to analyse transcriptomes and mRNA expression levels for specific genes in calcium-channel blocker-induced gingival overgrowth (GO) tissues. DESIGN Eight gingival tissues samples (from both GO negative and positive sites) were harvested from four GO patients for microarray analyses. Twelve candidate genes were selected for further quantitative real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyses. Ten GO tissues from periodontitis patients and ten control gingival tissues from healthy subjects were compared by qRT-PCR. Mann-Whitney U-test was used for statistical evaluation. RESULTS In GO positive tissues, 163-1631 up-regulated and 100-695 down-regulated genes were identified with more than two-fold changes compared with GO negative tissues amongst patients by microarray experiments. No commonly expressed genes amongst the eight sets of microarray data were found. The clustering analysis confirmed that the entire transcriptome patterns showed similarities in individuals, but differences amongst the four patients. The qRT-PCR and statistical analyses for the candidate genes, though, revealed differential gene expressions between GO-positive and negative tissues. We found that matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and MMP-12 as well as cathepsin-L were significantly up-regulated whilst keratin-10 and transforming growth factor-β1 were significantly down-regulated in GO tissues of periodontitis patients compared with the control gingival tissues of healthy subjects. CONCLUSION The microarray analyses revealed that GO pathogenesis was complex and individually varied, though GO-affected gingival tissues were controlled at least by genes related to collagen metabolisms including regulated MMPs, cathepsin-L, growth factors, and keratins to maintain tissue homeostasis in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phenytoin (PHT) has been reported to induce gingival (gum) overgrowth (GO) in approximately 50% of patients taking this medication. While most studies have focused on the effects of PHT on the fibroblast in the pathophysiology underlying GO, few studies have investigated the potential regulatory role of macrophages in extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover and secretion of proinflammatory mediators. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of PHT and its metabolite, 5-(p-hydroxyphenyl-), 5-phenylhydantoin (HPPH) on LPS-elicited MMP, TIMP, TNF-α and IL-6 levels in macrophages. METHODS Human primary monocyte-derived macrophages (n = 6 independent donors) were pretreated with 15-50 μg/mL PHT-Na+ or 15-50 μg/mL HPPH for 1 hour. Cells were then challenged with 100 ng/ml purified LPS from the periodontal pathogen, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. Supernatants were collected after 24 hours and levels of MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, MMP-12, TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TIMP-3, TIMP-4, TNF-α and IL-6 determined by multiplex analysis or enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay. RESULTS A dose-dependent inhibition of MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-9, TIMP-1 but not MMP-2 was noted in culture supernatants pretreated with PHT or HPPH prior to LPS challenge. MMP-12, TIMP-2, TIMP-3 and TIMP-2 were not detected in culture supernatants. High concentrations of PHT but not HPPH, blunted LPS-induced TNF-α production although neither significantly affected IL-6 levels. CONCLUSION The ability of macrophages to mediate turnover of ECM via the production of metalloproteinases is compromised not only by PHT, but its metabolite, HPPH in a dose-dependent fashion. Further, the preferential dysregulation of macrophage-derived TNF-α but not IL-6 in response to bacterial challenge may provide an inflammatory environment facilitating collagen accumulation without the counteracting production of MMPs.

Abstract
AIM The rationale of this study was to address whether local or systemic changes reflect proteolytic (matrix metalloproteinase-13) or oxidative (myeloperoxidase) stress in renal transplant patients receiving cyclosporine-A (CsA) and having gingival overgrowth (GO), in patients receiving CsA therapy and having no GO and patients receiving tacrolimus therapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples were collected from sites with (GO+) and without GO (GO-) in CsA patients having GO; GO- sites in CsA patients having no GO; sites from tacrolimus, gingivitis and healthy subjects. GCF and serum myeloperoxidase (MPO) and matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) levels were determined by ELISA. RESULTS GO+ sites in CsA patients having GO had elevated GCF MPO levels than those of CsA patients having no GO, tacrolimus and healthy subjects (p<0.005), but comparable to those of gingivitis. GCF MPO levels were higher in GO+ compared to GO- sites in CsA patients having GO (p<0.05). Patient groups had similar, but higher GCF MMP-13 levels than healthy group. CONCLUSIONS These results show that CsA and tacrolimus therapy have not a significant effect on GCF MPO and MMP-13 levels, and gingival inflammation seems to be the main reason for their elevations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been shown that azithromycin improves cyclosporine-induced gingival hyperplasia (GH), but its efficacy was never compared against an efficient oral hygiene program (OHP). The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of azithromycin plus OHP versus OHP alone in patients with cyclosporine-induced GH. METHODS After periodontal evaluation, 20 renal transplant recipients received detailed oral hygiene instructions and a complete OHP, and were randomized to control (OHP) or azithromycin groups (OHP plus azithromycin). Patients were re-evaluated after 15 and 30 days. Both groups were similar in time after transplant, age, gender, cyclosporine dose, and cyclosporine through level and serum creatinine. The control group had fewer patients using calcium cannel blockers (10% vs. 70%, p = 0.02). RESULTS All patients improved in pain, halitosis, and gum bleeding after OHP. The control group did not improve plaque index (PI) or GH. In contrast, baseline PI decreased from 1.52 +/- 0.28 to 0.50 +/- 0.16 on day 15 (p < 0.01) and to 0.46 +/- 0.14 on day 30 (p < 0.01) in the azithromycin group, and the GH score decreased from 1.9 +/- 0.27 to 0.90 +/- 0.27 on day 15 (p < 0.05) and to 0.70 +/- 0.21 on day 30 (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Azithromycin associated to efficient OHP induced a striking reduction in cyclosporine-induced GH, while efficient OHP alone improved oral symptoms but did not decrease cyclosporine-induced GH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Membrane type-I matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) regulate the activation of MMP-2; however, their roles in the activation of MMP-2 in gingiva during treatment with cyclosporine A are still unknown. Therefore, the expressions of membrane type-I MMP and TIMP-2, as well as MMP-2, in gingivae upon treatment with cyclosporine A were examined in vivo and in vitro. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-four rats were divided into two groups after edentulous ridges were established. The experimental group received 30 mg/kg/d of cyclosporine A and the control group received vehicle. At the end of the experimental period, the rats were killed, the gingivae were obtained and the expression of mRNA and protein of membrane type-I MMP, TIMP-2 and MMP-2 in gingiva were examined using real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. In human gingival fibroblasts, the activity of MMP-2 and the expression of MMP-2, membrane type-I MMP and TIMP-2 mRNAs were examined (using zymography and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, respectively) after treatment with cyclosporine A. RESULTS In gingivae of rats, cyclosporine A significantly decreased the expression of mRNA and protein of membrane type-I MMP, but not of TIMP-2. The expression of MMP-2 mRNA was unaffected but the expression of MMP-2 protein showed a significant decrease upon treatment with cyclosporine A. In fibroblast culture medium, the presence of cyclosporine A induced a decrease in MMP-2 activity in a dose-dependent manner. The expression of MMP-2, membrane type-I MMP and TIMP-2 mRNAs in fibroblasts was not significantly affected by cyclosporine A; however, in fibroblasts the ratio of mRNA expression of membrane type-I MMP to that of TIMP-2 decreased as the cyclosporine A dose was increased. CONCLUSION Cyclosporine A inhibits the expression of membrane type-I MMP in gingiva and it may further reduce the activation of MMP-2.

Abstract
Azithromycin is effective for the remission of cyclosporine A-induced gingival overgrowth (CIGO) in persons who have undergone renal transplant. To explain its mechanism in alleviating the clinical symptoms of these indivduals, we examined the effect of azithromycin on cell proliferation and collagen turnover modified by cyclosporin A in human gingival fibroblasts from healthy persons and from persons who had undergone renal transplant. Cyclosporin A-induced proliferation of renal transplant fibroblasts and normal fibroblasts was inhibited by azithromycin. Azithromycin elevated the reduced metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and MMP-2 activities in cyclosporine A-treated renal transplant fibroblasts and normal fibroblasts. In cyclosporine A-treated renal transplant fibroblasts, azithromycin blocked the accumulation of total collagen in culture media and the increase in type I collagen mRNA level, but recovered the reduced MMP-2 mRNA level to the control. These results suggest that azithromycin may improve CIGO by blocking cyclosporine A-induced cell proliferation and collagen synthesis, and by activating MMP-2 in gingival fibroblasts of persons with cyclosporine A-induced gingival overgrowth.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether the occurrence or severity of gingival hyperplasia is associated with liver function test results or phenytoin metabolism. DESIGN Prospective analysis. SETTING University-affiliated medical center in Taipei, Taiwan. PATIENTS Sixty-six patients (mean age 37.9 yrs) with epilepsy who were receiving phenytoin for more than 1 year. Intervention. Four blood samples were drawn from each patient for liver function testing, concentrations of phenytoin and its metabolites R-5-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-5-phenylhydantoin (R-HPPH) and S-HPPH, and genotyping of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 and 2C19. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Plasma concentrations of phenytoin and its metabolites were determined by a high-performance liquid chromatography method. The CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 genotypes were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Conventional liver function assays and a quantitative liver function test--galactose single-point (GSP) measurement--were performed. Statistical analyses were performed to evaluate the association between liver function test results as well as metabolic phenotype and the occurrence and severity of gingival hyperplasia. Among liver function tests, only GSP levels showed a significant difference between patients with and those without gingival hyperplasia. Patients with an elevated GSP level (> or = 280 microg/ml) had a significantly higher odds ratio (OR 4.51) for the occurrence of gingival hyperplasia. In addition, increased R-HPPH (OR 1.02) and phenytoin (OR 1.09) concentrations were associated with an increased occurrence of gingival hyperplasia. However, only increased GSP and R-HPPH concentrations had significantly higher ORs (2.84 and 1.02, respectively) associated with the severity of gingival hyperplasia. Although mean +/- SD plasma R-HPPH concentration was significantly lower in CYP2C19 poor metabolizers compared with CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 extensive metabolizers and CYP2C9 poor metabolizers (30.38 +/- 16.73 vs 68.22 +/- 44.75 and 78.95 +/- 51.67 microg/ml, respectively), no significant association between genotype and gingival hyperplasia was found. CONCLUSION Increased GSP, phenytoin, and R-HPPH concentrations were associated with increased occurrence of phenytoin-induced gingival hyperplasia; only increased GSP and R-HPPH concentrations were associated with increased severity of this adverse effect.

Abstract
AIM We investigated gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) levels from renal transplant patients receiving cyclosporine-A (CsA) and having gingival overgrowth (GO), from patients receiving CsA therapy and having no GO and patients receiving tacrolimus therapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS GCF samples were collected from sites with GO (GO+) and without GO (GO-) in CsA patients having GO; and GO- sites in CsA patients having no GO; sites from tacrolimus, gingivitis and healthy subjects. GCF and serum MMP-8 and TIMP-1 levels were determined by a time-resolved immunofluorometric assay (IFMA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS GO+ sites in CsA patients having GO had elevated GCF MMP-8 levels compared with those of CsA patients having no GO, tacrolimus and healthy subjects (p<0.005), but these levels were similar to those of gingivitis. The GCF MMP-8 level was higher in GO+ compared with GO- sites in CsA patients having GO (p<0.05). GCF TIMP-1 levels were similar between groups. Tacrolimus patients had lower GCF MMP-8 levels than gingivitis (p<0.005), but levels similar to the healthy group. CONCLUSION These results show that CsA and tacrolimus therapy has no significant effect on GCF MMP-8 levels, and gingival inflammation seems to be the main reason for their elevations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Cyclosporin A-induced gingival overgrowth comprises a variety of signaling pathways (including growth factors and proteoglycans) that are still not completely understood. In the present study, gingival overgrowth was investigated in transplant patients receiving cyclosporin A (cyclosporin A group) and compared with gingival tissues never exposed to the drug (control group) by analyzing the gene expression of the cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans syndecan-2, syndecan-4 and betaglycan. MATERIAL AND METHODS mRNA analysis was carried out by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction amplification of pooled samples from nine patients of the cyclosporin A group and six control subjects. The groups were compared by the Student's t-test. RESULTS The expression of heparan sulfate proteoglycans was increased in the cyclosporin A group (165% for syndecan-2, 308% for syndecan-4, and 42% for betaglycan) compared with the control group. CONCLUSION Our findings agree with the current concept of cyclosporin A-induced gingival overgrowth and provide new evidence that its noncollagenous extracellular matrix is overexpressed.

Abstract
Cyclosporin A (CsA) is an immunosuppressant with severe side effects including gingival overgrowth. We have previously reported that CsA impairs the activity of the lysosomal enzymes cathepsin B and L in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). Here, we have examined the effects of CsA on the DNA-binding activity of the cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB) and cell viability, and the effects of CREB on cathepsin B and L synthesis and activity in HGFs. We have confirmed that CsA down-regulates cathepsin B and L synthesis. Further, CsA has no effect on cell viability and dramatically impairs CREB-DNA binding activity. Importantly, the synthesis of cathepsin B and L is down-regulated, and their activity is also significantly impaired in HGFs transfected with plasmid expressing dominant-negative CREB. These results suggest that CREB is essential for the CsA-mediated down-regulation of cathepsin B and L synthesis in HGFs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a positive correlation between the course of periodontal disease and psychosocial stress status. Stress leads to activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, resulting in increased cortisol release. The present study evaluates the effect of two different hydrocortisone concentrations on mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in cultured, human gingival fibroblasts. METHODS Gingival fibroblasts were stimulated with 10(-7) or 10(-9) M hydrocortisone for 24 hours; untreated cells served as controls. Alterations in the expression of MMP-1, -2, -3, -7, -11 and TIMP-1 and -2 were evaluated using real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. beta-actin mRNA expression was used as a reference to normalize gene expression. RESULTS Although the higher hydrocortisone concentration upregulated MMP-1, -2, -7, -11, and TIMP-1 (P <0.05) expression, the lower concentration induced downregulation or diminished upregulation. The lower hydrocortisone concentration induced a 23-fold increase in MMP-3 gene expression, whereas the higher concentration induced less upregulation; however, protein expression was regulated similarly by both hydrocortisone concentrations. The effect of hydrocortisone on TIMP-2 expression was not significant (P >0.05). CONCLUSIONS Hydrocortisone produced a dose-dependent regulation of MMP and TIMP expression. The higher hydrocortisone concentration significantly upregulated expression of MMP-1, -2, -7, and -11 and TIMP-1 in human gingival fibroblasts, which may constitute a mechanism underlying the increased periodontal breakdown associated with psychosocial stress status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Gingival overgrowth is a side-effect of nifedipine and cyclosporin medications. Integrins are transmembrane glycoproteins that mediate cell adhesion, regulate cell proliferation and participate in the regulation of tissue fibrosis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether expression of epithelial cell integrins is linked to the development of drug-induced gingival overgrowth. MATERIAL AND METHODS Human gingival biopsies of patients taking nifedipine, cyclosporin, or a combination of both medications, were used. Expression of the alpha5beta1, alphavbeta1 and alphavbeta6 integrins, and of cellular extra domain A of fibronectin, was localized in frozen sections using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS The activated conformation of the beta1, alpha5beta1 and alphavbeta6 integrins were more frequently expressed in distinct locations in the oral epithelium in the combined drug group. Cellular extra domain A of fibronectin, a ligand for both alpha5beta1 and alphavbeta6 integrins, was expressed within the connective tissue of all groups. It was also expressed around the basal keratinocytes of the control, nifedipine and cyclosporin-induced gingival overgrowth groups, but not in the combined medication group. No relationship between the presence of inflammation and integrin expression was found. CONCLUSION The results indicate that expression of certain integrins is up-regulated in the epithelium of drug-induced gingival overgrowth where they could participate in controlling the formation of elongated rete ridges and tissue fibrosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) play a role in the breakdown of the extracellular matrix during normal physiological processes, and in pathological processes, including periodontitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the expression of MMPs and TIMPs in cultured human gingival fibroblasts. METHODS Fibroblasts were stimulated with 10(-3), 10(-6) or 10(-12)M EGF for 24h; untreated fibroblasts served as controls. Alterations in the expression of MMP-1, 2, 3, 7, 11, TIMP-1 and 2 were evaluated using real-time PCR and Western blotting. beta-Actin expression was used as a reference to normalize gene expression. RESULTS Increased MMP-1, 3, 7 and 11 expressions were observed at all EGF concentrations (p<0.05). At the lowest EGF concentration, MMP-1, 3 and 7 presented the lowest expression and MMP-11 presented the greatest expression; at higher EGF concentrations, MMP-1, 3 and 7 presented greater up-regulation, and MMP-11 lower up-regulation (p<0.05). Protein expression was similarly regulated by EGF: increased up-regulation of MMP-1, 3 and 7 was observed with increasing EGF concentrations, except for MMP-11 that exhibited greater up-regulation at the lower EGF concentration. The gene expression of MMP-2, TIMP-1 and 2 was not affected by EGF (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS We conclude that EGF regulates expression for MMP-1, 3, 7 and 11 in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting that EGF may play a role in periodontal destruction and wound repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Nifedipine-induced gingival overgrowth is known to be characterized by fibrosis and some degree of inflammation. However, the molecular mechanism of the fibrosis is not fully understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate in vitro the effects of nifedipine and interleukin-1alpha on the molecules involved in fibrosis, namely type I collagen, matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1). MATERIAL AND METHODS Four human gingival fibroblast strains, derived from four healthy volunteers, were cultured in media containing nifedipine (1 microg/ml), with or without interleukin-1alpha (0.05 ng/ml). The mRNAs of type I collagen, MMP-1, and TIMP-1 were measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The proteins of MMP-1 and TIMP-1 were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the ratios of MMP-1 to TIMP-1 proteins were calculated. RESULTS The mRNA expression of type I collagen showed no significant change. Both mRNA expression and protein production of MMP-1 were up-regulated by interleukin-1alpha, either alone or in combination with nifedipine, whereas those of TIMP-1 were up-regulated by nifedipine alone or in combination with interleukin-1alpha. The ratio of MMP-1 to TIMP-1 was not changed by nifedipine alone, but it was increased by interleukin-1alpha alone or in combination with nifedipine. However, in two of the four cell strains tested, nifedipine reduced the ratio of MMP-1 to TIMP-1 compared with that for interleukin-1alpha alone. CONCLUSION These results suggest that nifedipine may predispose to fibrosis in some individuals in situations where interleukin-1 levels are raised.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of nitric oxide (NO) in the pathogenesis of cyclosporin A (CsA)-induced gingival overgrowth is still unknown. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of CsA on the expression of nitric oxide synthases (NOS) in the gingival tissue of rats. METHODS Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to a control and two test groups. Rats in each group received CsA (0, 10, or 30 mg/kg) daily by gastric feeding for 4 weeks. The plasma NO and the NOS enzyme activities were assayed at week 4 in the blood samples and in the gingiva and lung tissue specimens, respectively. The distribution of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was further evaluated in tissues obtained from the gingiva and lung at the end of weeks 1 and 4 by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS In the CsA-treated animals, increased levels of plasma nitrites/nitrates were measured in comparison to those in control rats. Significantly greater iNOS enzyme activities were detected in lung and gingival tissues obtained from CsA-treated animals than from control animals. In addition, cells positively staining for iNOS were clearly observed in both gingival and lung tissues obtained from the CsA-treated animals by immunohistochemistry, whereas a few stained cells were found in those from the control group. The quantity of cells positively stained for iNOS was greater in tissue from week 4 than week 1. CONCLUSIONS The effect of CsA on gingival iNOS expression was evaluated in rats for 4 weeks. A greater iNOS expression in the gingiva was observed after CsA therapy by both enzyme activities and immunohistochemica staining. Therefore, we suggest that CsA can increase gingival iNOS expression, which may play an important role in cyclosporin-induced gingival overgrowth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A difference from the normal range in collagen profile and perivascular hyaline deposition in the dermis and gingiva has been demonstrated histopathologically in juvenile hyaline fibromatosis (JHF), which is an autosomal recessive disease. The aim of this study was to understand the mechanism of gingival overgrowth in JHF, and to observe differences in the expression of genes regulating extracellular matrix organization. METHODS Human gingival fibroblasts (GF) were obtained from individuals who have clinically healthy gingival tissue. JHF-GF were obtained from a patient who underwent a gingivectomy. Cultured fibroblast cells were examined visually using a phase contrast microscope. Total RNA from both cell types was isolated, and after biotin-deoxyuridine triphosphate (dUTP) labeling of cDNA, hybridization was performed with a pathway-specific gene expression profiling array membrane. Extracellular matrix (ECM) and adhesion molecule (AM) mRNA expressions in GF and JHF-GF were analyzed, and microarray data on genes modulating ECM remodeling were confirmed with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS Cell morphology differences were observed between fibroblast types. Although type I collagen gene expression levels were almost the same, decreased type IV collagen expression was noted in JHF-GF versus GF. Decreased matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and increased tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP) transcripts were noted in JHF-GF versus GF. Increased fibronectin and decreased laminin mRNA expression were observed in JHF-GF when compared to GF. The present findings suggest that GF and JHF-GF differ not only morphologically but also in the expression level of ECM and AM genes involving connective tissue turnover and remodeling. CONCLUSIONS Results from these analyses may be helpful to clarify the nature of overgrowth mechanisms, especially regarding enzymes and their inhibitors. This information is important in understanding the remodeling of ECM. The gingival overgrowth that is observed in JHF patients may be explained by a decreased level of MMPs and increased blockage of MMPs with TIMPs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gingival overgrowth (GO) is a serious adverse effect associated with the administration of phenytoin (PHT), with PHT-induced GO characterized by a massive accumulation of extracellular matrix components, especially collagen, in gingival connective tissues. However, the etiology of such collagen accumulation is still largely unknown. We examined the effects of PHT on the collagen degradation process leading to collagen accumulation in human gingival fibroblasts (HGF). METHODS HGFs were cultured with various concentrations of PHT and viable cell numbers and collagen amounts were determined. Gene and protein expressions of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMP) were quantified with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analyses and Western blotting, respectively. Cellular endocytosis of collagen was assayed using flow-cytometric analysis. The effects of PHT on extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and inhibitor kappaB-alpha (IkappaB-alpha) were assayed. RESULTS The proliferation of HGFs was not affected by PHT, whereas it significantly increased collagen accumulation. Further, the expressions of MMP-1, -2, and -3 were markedly suppressed by PHT, whereas that of TIMP-1 was induced in a dose- and time-dependent manner. PHT also markedly prevented collagen endocytosis by HGFs, which was associated with the suppression of alpha2beta1-integrin expression. In addition, the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and IkappaB-alpha degradation were suppressed by PHT. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that PHT causes an impaired degradation of collagen by suppression of enzymatic degradation with MMPs/TIMP-1 and alpha2beta1-integrin-mediated endocytosis. Those alterations are likely mediated through the cellular signaling pathways of ERK1/2 and nuclear factor kappaB. These synergistic effects may cause collagen accumulation, leading to GO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The prominent side-effect of cyclosporin A, an immunosuppressive drug, in oral tissues is gingival outgrowth, although the exact mechanism underlying this side-effect is unclear. The main purposes of the present study were to determine whether cyclosporin A induced the gingival outgrowth by promoting proliferation of gingival cells and whether growth factors such as transforming growth factor-betas (TGF-betas), fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs), and insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are involved in the possible changes in the proliferation of gingival cells induced by cyclosporin A. METHODS Cells isolated from rat gingival tissues were cultured with cyclosporin A or IGF-I for 3 days. The effects of cyclosporin A or IGF-I on the proliferation of cultured rat gingival cells were analyzed with a CellTiter 96 proliferation assay kit. The mRNA expression levels for TGF-betas, FGF-2, PDGFs, IGFs, insulin-like growth factor receptors (IGFRs), and insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) in the rat gingival cells treated with cyclosporin A were measured using competitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS Cyclosporin A induced 23-25% (p < 0.001) increases in the proliferation of rat gingival cells and approximately 130% (p < 0.05) and 60% (p < 0.05) elevations in the mRNA expression levels for TGF-beta1 and FGF-2, respectively. On the other hand, exogenous IGF-I induced 8-11% (p < 0.05) increases in the proliferation, but cyclosporin A induced 30-80% (p < 0.05-0.01) reductions in the mRNA expression levels for endogenous IGF-I, IGFR1, IGFBP2, IGFBP3, IGFBP5, and IGFBP6. CONCLUSIONS Cyclosporin A stimulates the proliferation of rat gingival cells. TGF-beta1 and FGF-2 could be involved, but IGFs, IGFRs and IGFBPs could not be directly involved in this cyclosporin A induced-stimulation of the gingival cell proliferation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is associated with renal transplant failure. Periodontal pockets may be reservoirs for HCMV replication. OBJECTIVES This study was done to determine active HCMV replication in saliva and gingival crevicular fluid of renal transplant patients affected by periodontitis. METHODS HCMV pp67-mRNA amplification was analyzed in oral fluids of 38 transplant recipients at 6 months' posttransplantation. Patients received antiviral therapy until 3 months' posttransplantation. The HCMV-positive cell line VR-977 was the positive control, and oral fluids from healthy volunteers served as the negative control. Periodontitis was diagnosed by clinical examination. Serum HCMV IgG and IgM were analyzed to differentiate recent and latent infection. RESULTS Prevalence of gingival overgrowth was 68.4%. HCMV gene transcripts were detected in the saliva of 21% and the gingival crevicular fluid of 18% of patients. All patients (100%) with HCMV pp67-mRNA detected in saliva demonstrated clinical manifestations of viral infection, as did 86% of patients with HCMV pp67-mRNA detected in the gingival crevicular fluid. Serum IgM was positive in 7.9% of patients and IgG in 65.8%; however, associations with active mRNA replication were not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Renal transplant patients affected by periodontitis are at risk of viral replication within the periodontal tissues despite antiviral therapy. This study suggests that use of HCMV pp67-mRNA detection in saliva and gingival crevicular fluid provides markers of active viral infection, and evidence for a link between HCMV-associated periodontitis and renal transplant complications.

Abstract
In acute rejection of transplanted organs intragraft fibroblasts increase their production of hyaluronan. Hyaluronan has strong water binding capacity and an increased tissue content of hyaluronan thus contributes to the development of interstitial oedema. The present study examined the effects of commonly used immunosuppressants (prednisolone, cyclosporin, tacrolimus, mycophenolic acid and sirolimus) on fibroblast proliferation, hyaluronan production and cell surface receptor expression. Fibroblasts isolated from rejecting tissue and from normal, non-transplanted tissue were studied in parallel. All substances investigated, except tacrolimus, were found to affect fibroblasts in one way or another. The most striking effect was the almost total inhibition of fibroblast proliferation in the presence of mycophenolic acid. Cyclosporin reduced the proliferation by about 50% and prednisolone had an inhibiting effect on hyaluronan production (50% reduction). These effects were observed on fibroblasts isolated from rat cardiac allografts undergoing rejection as well as on fibroblasts obtained from normal heart tissue. In contrast, sirolimus was found to stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts from rejecting tissue (100% increase), but not that of normal fibroblasts. The majority of the fibroblasts expressed the hyaluronan receptor CD44, with a more intense expression in cultures of fibroblasts derived at rejection. None of the immunosuppressants affected the staining pattern (number of positive cells or intensity). The inhibitory effects of prednisolone, cyclosporin and mycophenolic acid on fibroblasts may contribute to the overall beneficial effects of these drugs when used for prevention or treatment of rejection.

Abstract
Previous studies suggested that the onset of phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth depended on serum phenytoin concentration. Cytochrome P450 2C (CYP2C) plays an important role in phenytoin metabolism. Recently, single nucleotide polymorphisms in the coding region of CYP 2C influencing phenytoin metabolism were identified. The purpose of the present study was to see if CYP 2C polymorphisms might relate to the onset and severity of phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth. Twenty-eight epileptic patients taking phenytoin aged 15 to 75 (mean age: 42.2 years old, 20 males and 8 females) and 56 unrelated healthy subjects aged 30 to 48 (mean age: 36.8 years old, 48 males and 8 females) were examined for CYP 2C polymorphisms. All epileptic subjects were examined for the degree of gingival overgrowth, daily phenytoin dose and serum phenytoin concentration. The results indicated about 7% of the subjects including epileptic and healthy subjects examined were positive for CYP 2C9*3. However, the degree of gingival overgrowth did not directly correlate with CYP 2C polymorphisms. Nevertheless, the subjects with severer gingival overgrowth exhibited significantly higher serum phenytoin concentration, indicating that phenytoin metabolism is an important determinant for the severity of the disease. Additionally, CYP 2C9*3 carriers exhibited significantly higher serum drug concentration to drug dose. Therefore, we concluded although the gene analysis is not directly related to diagnose the disease itself, it can be utilized in estimating serum phenytoin concentration from drug dose, which in turn serves to predict the future development and clinical course of the disease.

Abstract
We have cloned the cDNA and genomic DNA of an active intronless cathepsin L from Metapenaeus ensis. The encoded enzyme has the shortest prosequence among cathepsin L subgroup. It was predominantly expressed in hepatopancreas with an expression level of at least 10 times higher than in any other tissues. It also has expression in stomach, intestine, eye, testis, ovary and muscle. Western blots visualized the mature enzyme in hepatopancreas and a procathepsin L in ovary, intestine and stomach. Metapenaeus cathepsin L (MeCatL) is localized in the large digestive vacuole of the digestive B cell of hepatopancreas. MeCatL has a role in food digestion. An interesting finding is that it exists in the nucleus of oocyte. MeCatL might have a specified physiological role in the nucleus of oocyte. MeCatL might also have a house-keeping function as is suggested for mammalian cathepsin L.

Abstract
Cathepsin is a typical and well-characterized lysosomal cysteine protease that, under pathological conditions, is involved in tissue destruction. A recent immunocytochemical study demonstrated that cathepsins B (CAB) and L (CAL) were localized in the periodontal ligament (PDL) of the rat molar, and they were expressed in compressed sites during experimental tooth movement. Further, we demonstrated previously that the levels of CAB and CAL in gingival crevicular fluid increased during orthodontic tooth movement. Therefore, CAB and CAL may play important roles in the process of collagen degradation during orthodontic tooth movement, and our in vitro study examined the secretion of CAB and CAL in PDL cells following mechanical stress. PDL cells were subjected to 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0 g/cm2 of compression force or an increase in surface area by tension force of 0.28%, 0.95%, 1.72%, or 2.50% for 24 hr. For detection of CAB and CAL in conditioned medium, commercially available ELISA kits were used. We found compression and tension significantly increased the secretions of both CAB and CAL in PDL cells, which were exhibited in a time- and force magnitude-dependent manner. The compression-stimulated secretion of CAB was increased approximately 3-fold and that of CAL 4-fold, as compared with the control. Further, tension-stimulated secretion of CAB was increased by 1.5-fold and that of CAL 2-fold compared with the control. When analyzed using a semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction assay, CAB and CAL mRNA were increased in response to both compression and tension forces. These findings demonstrated that mechanical stress (compression and tension forces) causes an increase in secretion of CAB and CAL in PDL cells in vitro.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gingival overgrowth is one of the side effects associated with the systemic use of cyclosporin A (CsA). In vitro studies on the extracellular matrix of gingival tissues have demonstrated an altered composition, particularly an accumulation of proteoglycans and collagen. We investigated the gene expression of extracellular matrix proteoglycans in CsA-induced gingival tissue alterations. METHODS mRNA expression of the proteoglycans perlecan, decorin, biglycan, and versican was analyzed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in gingival samples obtained from 12 individuals, six with CsA-induced gingival overgrowth (CsA group) and six with a normal gingiva (control group). The RT-PCR products were subjected to 1% agarose gel electrophoresis containing ethidium bromide and analyzed qualitatively and semiquantitatively by densitometry. Density values were normalized by determining the expression of the housekeeping gene beta-actin in the same sample. Groups were compared by the Student's t test. RESULTS Perlecan expression showed a marked increase (54%) in the CsA group compared to the control group (P < 0.01), while no significant differences were observed for the other proteoglycans. CONCLUSION CsA-induced gingival overgrowth seems to be associated with increased expression of perlecan, a typical basement membrane proteoglycan, but not decorin, biglycan, or versican.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The immunosuppressive agent cyclosporin is associated with a number of major side-effects including the development of gingival overgrowth. Although the pathogenesis of cyclosporin-induced gingival overgrowth remains unclear, it has been suggested that the finely regulated balance between extracellular matrix synthesis and degradation may be disturbed, resulting in an accumulation of excess connective tissue components within the gingival tissue. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cyclosporin on matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-1 and tissue inhibitors of MMP (TIMP)-1 expression at the mRNA, protein, and enzyme activity levels. METHODS Gingival fibroblasts were grown to confluence and then cultured in serum-free medium supplemented with cyclosporin over the concentration range of 0 to 2000 ng/ml. MMP-1 and TIMP-1 mRNA levels in cultures were determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), protein levels in whole conditioned medium were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and collagenolytic activity determined using a 3H-acetylated type I collagen degradation assay. Tissue mRNA levels in normal and overgrown gingiva were also determined by RT-PCR. RESULTS Results indicated that cyclosporin inhibited MMP-1 expression at both the mRNA and protein level in a dose- and time-dependent fashion. The effects on TIMP-1 expression were less clear, cyclosporin inhibiting mRNA expression, but having no effect on TIMP-1 protein levels at any concentration studied. Addition of the drug resulted in reduced levels of collagenolytic activity in the culture medium. MMP-1 mRNA expression was significantly reduced in overgrown compared to normal tissue. CONCLUSIONS These results add support to the hypothesis that the accumulation of collagen seen in gingival overgrowth can be explained by a cyclosporin-induced inhibition of collagenolytic activity within the gingival tissues.

Abstract
Drug-induced gingival overgrowth, the chronic side effect of calcium antagonists, is frequently seen due to the increase in patients with hypertension, although the etiology of the disease is largely unknown. I-cell disease, which accompanies gingival overgrowth, is characterized by a deficiency in UDP-N-acetyl-glucosamine and is classified as one of the lysosomal storage diseases. Here, we hypothesized that a common mechanism may underlie the etiology of gingival overgrowth seen in patients treated with calcium antagonist and in patients with I-cell disease. A calcium antagonist, nifedipine, specifically suppressed cathepsin-L activity and mRNA expression, but not that of cathepsin-B in cultured gingival fibroblasts. The activity of cathepsin-L was suppressed up to 50% at 24 hours after treatment of the cells with the reagent. The selective suppression of cathepsin-L activity appeared not to be dependent on Ca(2+), since treatment of the cells with thapsigargin suppressed both cathepsin-B and -L activity. Mice deficient in the cathepsin-L gene manifested enlarged gingivae. Histological observation of the gingivae demonstrated typical features of acanthosis, a phenotype very similar to that of experimentally induced gingival overgrowth. Since cathepsin-L deficiency was reported to be associated with thickening of the skin, impaired cathepsin-L activity may play a key role in the establishment of skin and gingival abnormalities seen in I-cell disease. In addition, reduced cathepsin-L activity may play an important role in inducing drug-induced gingival overgrowth.

Abstract
Cysteine peptidases (CPs) are phylogenetically ubiquitous enzymes that can be classified into clans of evolutionarily independent proteins based on the structural organization of the active site. In mammals, two of the major clans represented in the genome are: the CA clan, whose members share a structure and evolutionary history with papain; and the CD clan, which includes the legumains and caspases. This review focuses on the properties of these enzymes, with an emphasis on their potential roles in the oral cavity. The human genome encodes at least (but possibly no more than) 11 distinct enzymes, called cathepsins, that are members of the papain family C1A. Ten of these are present in rodents, which also carry additional genes encoding other cathepsins and cathepsin-like proteins. Human cathepsins are best known from the ubiquitously expressed lysosomal cathepsins B, H, and L, and dipeptidyl peptidase I (DPP I), which until recently were considered to mediate primarily "housekeeping" functions in the cell. However, mutations in DPP I have now been shown to underlie Papillon-Lefevre syndrome and pre-pubertal periodontitis. Other cathepsins are involved in tissue-specific functions such as bone remodeling, but relatively little is known about the functions of several recently discovered enzymes. Collectively, CPs participate in multiple host systems that are active in health and in disease. They are involved in tissue remodeling and turnover of the extracellular matrix, immune system function, and modulation and alteration of cell function. Intracellularly, CPs function in diverse processes including normal protein turnover, antigen and proprotein processing, and apoptosis. Extracellularly, they can contribute directly to the degradation of foreign proteins and the extracellular matrix. However, CPs can also participate in proteolytic cascades that amplify the degradative capacity, potentially leading to pathological damage, and facilitating the penetration of tissues by cancer cells. We know relatively little regarding the role of human CPs in the oral cavity in health or disease. Most studies to date have focused on the potential use of the lysosomal enzymes as markers for periodontal disease activity. Human saliva contains high levels of cystatins, which are potent CP inhibitors. Although these proteins are presumed to serve a protective function, their in vivo targets are unknown, and it remains to be discovered whether they serve to control any human CP activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this paper is to report the development of extensive, gingival eruption cyst formation in neonatal dogs during chronic administration of cyclosporine, which regressed after treatment ceased. MATERIALS AND METHODS As part of an investigation of the efficacy of adenoviral-mediated gene therapy in a canine model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), 26 Golden retriever pups were given intramuscular injections of adenoviral gene constructs (at 2-5 days old) either with (15 pups) or without (9 pups) concomitant immunosuppression using oral cyclosporine (from 1 to 3 days old). RESULTS The daily administration of cyclosporine to Golden Retriever pups from 1 to 3 days of age resulted in the formation of eruption cysts over the incisors after approximately 3 weeks of treatment. The gingiva over the remaining teeth became swollen. However unlike the incisors, part of the crown erupted through the gingiva. Continuous treatment for 60-90 days was associated with persistence and expansion of the cysts over the incisor teeth. The cysts resolved within 1 month if cyclosporine administration was discontinued. Movement of incisors within the jaws was not appreciably affected when compared with age-matched controls. CONCLUSION Chronic cyclosporine administration to neonatal dogs induces the formation of eruption cysts over the incisors, which is reversible once treatment is discontinued and does not affect intraosseous eruption.
