Alpha-mangostin Suppresses IL-6 and IL-8 Expression in P. Gingivalis LPS-stimulated Human Gingival Fibroblasts
Overview

This study aims to investigate the effect of alpha-mangostin on interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 expression in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). HGFs were challenged with Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS and then treated with various concentrations of alpha-mangostin. The cytotoxicity was determined using MTS assay and cytokine expressions were evaluated by Real-time PCR and ELISA. The results showed that 5 μg/ml P. gingivalis LPS and alpha-mangostin at 1 µg/ml or less did not affect the viability of HGFs. Alpha-mangostin reduced IL-6 and IL-8 mRNA and protein in P. gingivalis LPS-stimulated HGFs. These findings suggested that alpha-mangostin might be used as an adjunct to the periodontal therapy.
