| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, to clear the mechanism of the effect of MMP-3 as anti-pulpitis drugs, we identified the MMP-3 binding protein in human dental pulp tissues. From results of analyses, versican was identified as substrate of MMP-3. On canine pulpitis model, structure and localization of versican on MMP-3 treated pulp tissue was different to control non treated tissues. In conclusion, complex of versican and hyaluronic acid was critical in recruiting of inflammatory cells, and anti-inflammatory effects of MMP-3 were closely linked to disruption of versican and hyaluronic acid.
