| Research Abstract |
Sprouty2 functions as a negative regulator of receptor tyrosine kinases(RTKs) signaling. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether Sprouty2 could be new therapeutic targets for periodontal tissue regeneration. Suppression of Sprouty2 induced cell proliferation and differentiation of osteoblastic cells, while it diminished cell proliferation of gingival epithelial cells. In other words, inhibition of Sprouty2 may effectively allow alveolar bone to grow, with blocking the ingrowth of gingival epithelial cells toward bony defects, as well as an effect of guided tissue regeneration(GTR) methods
