Figure 3. IL-8 amounts in GCF samples of individuals with orthodontic force application. GCF was sampled from the mesial gingival crevice of each experimental maxillary canine at indicated times before and after the application of elastic modules. The concentration of IL-8 in GCF was measured by ELISA as described in MATERIALS & METHODS.

Figure 4. Involvement of IL-1β and MAPK activation in the IL-8 expression by PDL cells. (A) Two lines of PDL cells (lines 1 and 2) were stimulated by pulsating fluid flow (a) or centrifugal force (b), then incubated for 1.5–6.5 hrs in fresh medium for total RNA collection. IL-1β mRNA levels were quantified by real-time PCR. Vertical bars indicate mean ± SD (n = 3). *Indicates significant (p < 0.05) difference as compared with untreated cells, calculated by t test. (B) PDL cells (line 1) were incubated in medium supplemented with anti-IL-1β (5 ng/mL) or the control antibody (5 ng/mL) for 0.5 hr before stimulation. After stimulation with pulsating fluid flow (a) or centrifugation (b), PDL cells were incubated for 3.5 hrs (a) or 4.5 hrs (b). IL-8 mRNA levels were quantified by real-time PCR. Vertical bars indicate mean ± SD (n = 3). *Indicates a significant difference (p < 0.05), by t test. (C) Roles of p38 kinase, JNK, ERK, and NF- B on IL-8 expression by PDL cells. PDL cells (line 1) were pre-incubated with various concentrations of each indicated inhibitor for 0.5 hr before stimulation. As the negative control, DMSO was added to the medium. The cells were then stimulated by a pressure centrifugal force, followed by the 4.5-hour incubation in medium before total RNA collection. IL-8 mRNA levels were quantified by real-time PCR, as described in MATERIALS & METHODS. Vertical bars indicate mean ± SD (n = 3). *Indicates a significant difference (p < 0.05), by t test. (D) Effects of specific inhibitors on activated signaling molecules. PDL cells (line 1) were pre-incubated with each indicated inhibitor for 0.5 hr before stimulation. As the negative control, DMSO was added to the medium. The cells were collected immediately after stimulation by a pressure centrifugal force. Cell lysates were analyzed by Western blotting.
