Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) 1G/2G (-1,607) polymorphisms have been identified and shown to influence the transcription of the MMP-1 gene. In order to compare the expression of MMP-1 with different MMP-1 gene promoter alleles after force loading, human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells were cultured and genotyped into three alleles by polymerase chain reaction and restriction endonuclease cleavage. The three...
