During earlier examination of interleukin-1 (IL-1)-induced matrix metalloproteinase gene expression in human gingival fibroblasts a highly induced immediate early gene, I kappa B-alpha, a NF kappa B DNA-binding inhibitor, was identified. The aim now was to investigate whether recombinant (r)IL-1 beta induces the stimulation of NF kappa B and its inhibitor proteins in human gingival fibroblasts and to understand if inhibition of its activity affects collagenase gene expression. Primary gingival fibroblasts (human) were treated with rIL-1 beta to determine the effect on NF kappa B-like DNA-binding activity. IL-1 induced the production of steady-state mRNA levels of I kappa B-alpha in the cultured fibroblasts. Nuclear run-on transcription studies demonstrated that rIL-1 induction of I kappa B-alpha may be transcriptionally regulated. Using electrophoretic mobility gel-shift assays it was shown that rIL-1 activates NF kappa B-like, DNA-binding activity in these fibroblasts. NF kappa B-like DNA-binding activity was rapidly induced and turned over in gingival fibroblasts with peak activity at 30 min after rIL-1 treatment. Further, treatment with chymotrypsin protease inhibitor and antioxidant inhibitor prevented IL-1-induced, NF kappa B-like, DNA-binding activity and collagenase mRNA production. When coupled with the existence of NF kappa B consensus DNA-binding sites on the collagenase gene promoter, these findings suggest that the stimulation of NF kappa B in gingival fibroblasts by rIL-1 could play an important part in the regulation of their collagenase gene expression. The ability of IL-1 to stimulate this expression may define a pivotal role for this cytokine in the pathogenesis of periodontitis.
