Therapeutic potential of proteasome inhibitors for dihydropyridine‐induced gingival overgrowth
Objectives NF‐κB plays a crucial role in collagen overproduction in dihydropyridine‐induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO) fibroblasts. We aim to investigate the role of the kappa B (IκB) kinase (IKK)–NF‐κB pathway and downstream collagen type I (Col I) synthesis in DIGO cells and to demonstrate the the...

Summary: | Objectives
NF‐κB plays a crucial role in collagen overproduction in dihydropyridine‐induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO) fibroblasts. We aim to investigate the role of the kappa B (IκB) kinase (IKK)–NF‐κB pathway and downstream collagen type I (Col I) synthesis in DIGO cells and to demonstrate the therapeutic strategy of interference of this pathway with proteasome inhibitors.
Methods
Gingival fibroblasts from DIGO (n = 5) and healthy (n = 5) patients were selected and stimulated with IL‐1β, nifedipine, or both. All experiments were run in triplicate and independently for each primary cell sample.
Results
The results demonstrated that both drugs additively mediated NF‐κB activity by activating IKKα/β phosphorylation. They also triggered nuclear translocation of NF‐κB, Rela, and p50 (*p |
