Outline of Final Research Achievements

On epidemiological studies, it has been reported that the hypoplasia of the teeth is affected by the virus infection. In this study, we investigated that the effect on the formation of a tooth by viral infection in view of the inflammatory responses. We found that inflammatory cytokines were increased in the culture supernatant, when mouse monolayer cells were infected with the herpes family viruses in vitro. Inflammatory cytokines such as IFN and IL-1 were produced by immune cells at initial infection phase and then, fibroblasts which are present around the tooth precursor cells, are affected by these cytokines. These results suggested that the formation of a tooth may be influenced by inflammatory cytokines from immune cells.
