| Research Abstract |
In this study, I analyzed human periodontal ligament full-length cDNA library ( Full-PerioGen database ) and found several genes which were highly expressed in human periodontal ligament tissues. Among of these genes, I focused on FLJ25143 and Cathepsin K of which functions in periodontal ligament were not known. I found that FLJ25143 and Cathepsin K regulated periodontal ligament cell functions, suggesting involvement of these molecules in homeostasis, repair and regeneration of periodontium.
