| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of DHEA, a sex hormone, on the expression of lumican and fibromodulin in human temporomandibular specimens and in cultured human TMJ fibroblast-like synovial cells in the
presence or absence of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta).
DHEA plus IL-1beta induced a significant increase in fibromodulin but not lumican mRNA, compared to DHEA alone,IL-1beta alone and absence of DHEA and IL-1beta.In immunofluorescent staining, weaker fibromodulin staining of FLS cells was observed in cells cultured in the absence of both DHEA and IL-1beta compared to fibromodulin staining of cells cultured with DHEA alone, with DHEA plus IL-1beta, or with IL-1beta alone.
