| Research Abstract |
Pulpitis, dental pulpal inflammation, is mainly associated with the dental caries-related pathogen invaded into dentinal tubles. Many types of cytokines and inflammatory mediators are induced for the initiation and progression of pulpitis. This study has demonstrated that HMGB1 and MINCLE were up-regulated by the stimulation with the ligands of innate immune receptors and the up-regulated expression of these mediators was inhibited by catechin. Moreover, this study was suggested that the binding of pathogen on cell surface receptors were inhibited by catechin.
