Background: In inflamed periodontal tissues, gingival fibroblasts are able to express matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their natural inhibitors, tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs). They can also respond to growth factors and cytokines. In this study, the in vitro effects of avocado and soybean unsaponifiable residues (ASU), their fractions (avocado unsaponifiable [ASF] or soy unsaponifiable [SSF]) on MMP-2 and MMP-3, and the activity and secretion of their inhibitors TIMP-I and TIMP-2 were investigated using cultured human gingival fibroblasts. Methods: Gingival fibroblasts were cultured for 72 hours with ASU, ASF, and SSF at concentrations of 0.1, 0.5, 2.5, 5, and 10 mug/ml of culture medium, after pretreatment or no pretreatment for 1 hour with interieukin-1beta (IL-1beta). MMP-2 and MMP-3 were detected and quantified in the culture media after zymography and image analysis. TIMP-1, TIMP-2, MMP-2, and MMP-3 were also evidenced by dot blotting and quantified by image analysis. Results: In the absence of IL-1beta, a slight decrease in the secretion of MMP-2 was observed with lower doses of ASU, ASF, and SSF. The decrease of MMP-3 secretion was clearly marked with all fractions especially at low concentrations (0.1 and 2.5 mug/ml). A slight decrease in TIMP-2 secretion was seen for low doses of ASU, ASF, and SSF, while a small increase was seen at higher concentrations. Concerning TIMP-1, no significant variation was observed in culture medium for low concentrations, and a decrease was noted for 5 and 10 mug/ml of ASU, ASF, and SSF. As anticipated, IL-1beta induced a marked release of MMP-2, MMP-3, and TIMP-1, but no variation for TIMP-2 was seen. ASU, ASF, and SSF reversed the IL-1beta effect on gingival fibroblasts for MMP-2 and MMP-3, particularly with doses varying from 0.1 to 2.5 mug/ml and for TIMP-1, particularly with doses varying from 2.5 to 10 mug/ml. Conclusions: These findings suggest a potential role for avocado and soy unsaponifiable extracts to prevent the deleterious effects of IL-1beta that occur during periodontal diseases.
