Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effects of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on collagen phagocytosis of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (hPDLF).<br />Methods: Fluorescence localization and flow cytometry was used to test the collagen phygocytosis of hPDLF stimulated by the various concentration of LPS for 48 hours in vitro.<br />Results: The collagen phygocytosis of hPDLF was increased significantly by 0.1 microg/mL LPS (P < 0.05).<br />Conclusion: This study indicates that P. gingivalis LPS may enhance the degradation of collagen by stimulating the phagocytic activity of the hPDLF in periodontitis.
