    Abstract: Background and Objective: Local persistent infection by Porphyromonas gingivalis
    leads to inflammatory systemic diseases, such as atherosclerosis. We have
    reported previously that avirulent P. gingivalis fimbriae-dependent invasion into
    endothelial cells might be involved in progression of atherosclerosis. Although
    interleukin-6 (IL-6) regulates progression of atherosclerosis, little is known
    about the relationship of P. gingivalis fimbriae-dependent invasion to IL-6
    regulation in endothelial cells.
    Material and Methods: We examined the secretion of IL-6 and the expression of
    the IL-6 signal transducer gp130 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells
    (HUVEC) infected with the wild-type FDC381 strain of P. gingivalis and
    a fimbriae-deficient mutant (fimA) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,
    quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and flow
    cytometry (fluorescence-activated cell sorting, FACS) analysis.
    Results: Coculture of HUVEC with P. gingivalis resulted in increase of IL-6
    secretion at 24 h postinfection. Interestingly, the increase was inhibited significantly
    in HUVEC infected with the P. gingivalis fimA mutant. In addition, the increase of
    IL-6 secretion induced by P. gingivalis infection was significantly impaired by the
    meiosis specific kinase 1 inhibitor, PD98059, or the nuclear factor jB inhibitor,
    Bay11-7082. Furthermore, we demonstrated that gp130 expression increased with
    P. gingivalis infection. Importantly, gp130 expression was significantly impaired by
    P gingivalis fimA mutant infection compared with wild-type P. gingivalis infection,
    as assessed by both quantitative RT-PCR and FACS analysis.
    Conclusion: Our findings indicate that P. gingivalis fimbriae are important factors
    in the autocrine regulation of IL-6, by increasing gp130 in endothelial cells
