Local Induction of B Cell Interleukin-10 Competency Alleviates Inflammation and Bone Loss in Ligature-Induced Experimental Periodontitis in Mice.

ABSTRACT: Interleukin-10 (IL-10)-producing B cells (B10 cells) play a critical role in the immune system balance by negatively regulating inflammatory responses. This study was conducted to determine the effect of local B10 cell induction on periodontal inflammation and bone loss in ligature-induced experimental periodontitis in vivo Purified spleen B cells from C57BL/6J mice (8 to 10 weeks old) were cultured with CD40 ligand (CD40L) and the Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonist cytidine-phosphate-guanosine oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG) to determine effective IL-10 induction in vitro Silk ligatures (size 7-0) were tied around the mouse maxillary second molars on day 0, followed by the injection of CD40L and CpG into the palatal gingiva on days 3, 6, and 9. All the mice were sacrificed, and samples were c
