Involvement of the P2X7 purinergic receptor and c-Jun N-terminal and extracellular signal-regulated kinases in cyclooxygenase-2 and prostaglandin E2 induction by LL-37
Periodontal disease is caused by microorganisms and host-derived inflammation involving increased cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production. We previously demonstrated that human β-defensin-3 induces COX-2 and PGE2 in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). We, therefore,...
