Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Smad2 was involved in Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans-induced apoptosis in human gingival epithelial cells. In addition, irsogladine maleate, amphotericin B, azithromycin, and Houttuynia cordata down-regulated A. actinomycetemcomitans-induced increase of IL-8 through ERK signaling in human gingival epithelial cells. These findings suggested that the regulation of these cascades may lead the prevention of periodontal disease by regulating the function of gingival epithelium.
