  6. 9. Expression and regulation of MMP-1 and MMP-3 in human gingival fibroblasts

    Author : Helena Domeij; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Matrix metalloproteinases; tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases; gingival fibroblasts; monocytes; periodontal diseases;

    Abstract : Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of proteolytic enzymes collectively responsible for the metabolism of extra cellular matrix components. Disturbance of the physiological balance between MMPs and their endogenous inhibitors, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), is implicated in several inflammatory diseases characterized by tissue degradation.

  7. 10. Studies on uptake and effect of triclosan on production of inflammatory mediators in human gingival fibroblasts

    Author : Manal Mustafa; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Triclosan; gingival fibroblasts; IL-beta; IFN-gamma; MHC class II; PGE2; mPGES-1;

    Abstract : Triclosan (2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxy-diphenyl ether) is a lipid soluble anti-bacterial agent widely used in dentifrices, mouthrinses, soap and cosmetics. Although reports on the efficacy of triclosan on periodontal diseases are conflicting, it is documented in clinical studies that dentifrices containing triclosan reduce plaque accumulation and improve gingival health.
