Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of Porphyromonas gingivalis(Pg) with different fimA genotypes on vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) production by human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC). Methods In the present study, PgATCC33277(type Ⅰ fimA genotype), WCSP 115(type Ⅱ fimA genotype), W83(type Ⅳ fimA genotype), and Escherichia coli-lipopolysaccharide (Ec-LPS) were designed as experimental group 1, 2, 3, and positive control group, respectively, to stimulate HUVEC, and the un-stimulated HUVEC were analyzed as negative control group. The three strains of Pg were cultured anaerobically in standard condition, and then the Pg cells and Ec-LPS were co-cultured with HUVEC for 2, 6, and 24 h, respectively. The amount of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 produced by HUVEC was detected with flow cytometry(FCM). The expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 by HUVEC were assayed with confocal laser scanning microscope(CLSM). ResultsThe expression of ICAM-1 on the surface of HUVEC were intensified after infected by Pg with Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅳ fimA genotypes (P<0.05). The amounts of ICAM-1 were 60.27±5.43, 80.81±1.44, and 85.94±2.56 for Pg with type Ⅰ fimA genotype, 86.69±8.81, 90.19±0.00, and 96.18±0.48 for Pg with type Ⅱ fimA genotype, 59.66±0.40, 85.79±4.86, and 96.04±2.07 for Pg with type Ⅳ fimA genotype at 2, 6 and 24 h after infection, respectively. The up-regulation effects caused by Pg with type Ⅱ and Ⅳ fimA genotypes were stronger than those caused by Pg with type Ⅰ fimA genotype at different time points except at 2 h(P<0.05). Under the present experimental condition, infected by Pg with type Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅳ fimA genotypes stimulated low expression of VCAM-1 by HUVEC, it showed no significant differences among all the groups (P>0.05). Expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in Pg infected HUVEC were confirmed by CLSM. Infection of HUVEC with Pg resulted in more fluorescence staining of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 compared with that in uninfected HUVEC cultures. Conclusions The virulence and pathogenicity of Pg is associated with its fimA genotypes, Pg with type Ⅱ and Ⅳ fimA genes possess stronger ability to stimulate HUVEC to up-regulate the expression of cell adhesion molecules, which may lead to disorders in vascular endothelial function.
