龈沟液中存在白细胞介素8降解酶及其自身抗体

目的探究龈沟液中是否存在白细胞介素８（ｉｎｔｅｒｌｅｕｋｉｎ８,ＩＬ８）的抑制因子。方法（１）将１３例成人牙周炎的１４份及８例牙周健康者的９份龈沟液样本各自一分为二,１／２加入丝氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂──苯甲基磺酰氟,另１／２加入等量的磷酸盐缓冲液作为对照。ＥＬＩＳＡ法检测各样本中的ＩＬ８含量。（２）对１５例成人牙周炎的４１份龈沟液样本,用间接ＥＬＩＳＡ法测定龈沟液中的ＩＬ８自身抗体（ＩｇＧ）。结果（１）加入酶抑制剂的龈沟液中ＩＬ８的检出量（３．０１ｍｇ／Ｌ±５．７９ｍｇ／Ｌ）显著高于对照组（０．０５ｍｇ／Ｌ±０．１５ｍｇ／Ｌ）,Ｐ＜０．００１。（２）龈沟液中ＩＬ８自身抗体水平高于阴性对照标准差３倍。龈沟液中加入大肠杆菌超声粉碎液对此检测结果无明显影响。结论龈沟液中存在能降解ＩＬ８的丝氨酸蛋白酶;成人牙周炎的龈沟液中存在ＩＬ８自身抗体

Existence of IL 8 degrading protease and anti IL 8 IgG in gingival crevicular fluid

OBJECTIVE: To identify the nature of the IL-8 inhibitor(s) in gingival crevicul fluid (GCF). METHODS: (1) 14 GCF samples were collected from 13 adult periodontitis (AP) patients, and 9 samples were taken from 8 healthy subjects. Each GCF sample was divided into two aliquots. A serine protease-specific inhibitor-PMSF was added to one aliquot and PBS added to the other aliquot as control. ELISA was used to measure IL-8 level in the samples. (2) 41 GCF samples were collected from 15 AP patients and indirect ELISA was performed to detect the anti-IL-8 IgG antibody. RESULTS: (1) IL-8 level in the PMSF-added samples were significantly greater than that in the control group(3.01 mg/L +/- 5.79 mg/L vs 0.05 mg/L +/- 0.15 mg/L, P < 0.001). (2) The mean value of anti-IL-8 IgG in GCF was greater than that of negative control +3 x s. CONCLUSION: A serine protease which can "cleave" IL-8 exists in GCF and GCF from AP sites contain auto-antibody against IL-8.
