| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is investigation of redox regulation in periodontal tissue to use antioxidative stress mechanism(Keap1-Nrf2 system) as new periodontitis prevention and treatment. This study show Porphyromonas gingivalis(p. g.) LPS induced oxidative stress and the antioxidant response in human gingival fibroblast. keratinocyte growth factor(KGF) induced antioxidative enzyme(HO-1) and antioxidant response-transcriptional factor(Nrf2) expressions. KGF may enhance antioxidative stress mechanism in periodontal tissue.
