The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an important role in the growth and degeneration of cells As a result of infection and host immunoreaction, ECM is damaged by matrix metalloproteases (MMPs). Plasmin, which is produced from limited degradation of plasminogen by plasminogen activator (PA), activated latent MMPs and stimulates the synthesis of kinin. The inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha are synthesized by invasion of bacteria or virus. The effect of various inflammatory cytokines on the PA/plasmin system in human dental pulp cells was examined and compared with the effect on human gingival cells in order to characterize dental pulp cells in pulpitis. Dental pulp and gingival cells which were obtained from same donor were cultured in alpha-MEM with 10 % fetal calf serum and under 5 % CO_2 in air at 37 ℃. Both cells in a con fluent-stage were incubated for 24 h in medium containing 2 % PCS and treated with various cytokines (IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha). The PA activity in conditioned medium was measured using fluorescent substrate. The expression of tPA mRNA was analyzed by RT-PCR. The PA activity of dental pulp cells was higher and the expression of tPA mRNA was stronger than that of gingival cells when both cells were incubated with IL-6 and TNF-alpha. The inflammatory cytokines (IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha) stimulated PA activity via an enhancement of tPA gene expression and MMP-2 activity, and tPA activated by these cytokines stimulated MMP-9, Thus the inflammatory cytokines may be involved in extracellular matrix degradation through a stimulation of the PA/plasmin system of human dental pulp cells. Dental pulp cells were different from gingival cells in the response of the IL-6 and TNF-alpha to PA-plasmin system and MMP-9. The extracellular matrix of dental pulp is more strongly damaged through IL-6 and TNF-alpha produced in progress of inflammation.

细胞外基质 (ECM) 在细胞的生长和变性中发挥着重要作用。由于感染和宿主免疫反应，ECM 会被基质金属蛋白酶 (MMP) 破坏，而基质金属蛋白酶 (MMP) 是由纤溶酶原激活剂有限降解纤溶酶原而产生的。 PA），激活潜在的MMP并刺激激肽的合成，合成炎症细胞因子，例如IL-1β、IL-6和TNF-α。通过检查各种炎症细胞因子对人牙髓细胞中PA/纤溶酶系统的影响，并与对人牙龈细胞的影响进行比较，以表征牙髓炎中的牙髓细胞。将来自同一供体的细胞在含有10％胎牛血清的α-MEM中和在5％CO_2的空气中于37℃下培养，将处于汇合阶段的细胞培养24小时。含有2％PCS并用各种细胞因子(IL-1β、IL-6和TNF-α)处理的条件培养基中的PA活性通过RT-PCR分析tPA mRNA的表达。当两种细胞与IL-6和TNF-α炎症细胞因子(IL-1β、IL-6和IL-1β)一起孵育时，牙髓细胞的牙髓细胞的表达高于牙龈细胞，并且tPA mRNA的表达更强。 TNF-α)通过增强tPA基因表达和MMP-2活性来刺激PA活性，并且这些细胞因子激活的tPA刺激MMP-9，因此炎性细胞因子可能通过刺激PA/纤溶酶参与细胞外基质降解人牙髓细胞的IL-6和TNF-α对PA-纤溶酶系统和MMP-9的反应与牙龈细胞不同。炎症过程中产生的 IL-6 和 TNF-α 会造成损伤。
