Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanism of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) regulations of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) by challenge of Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) with different fimA genotypes. METHODS: Pg ATCC 33277 (type I), WCSP115 (type II), WCSP1.5 (type III), W83 (type IV) were assessed for their inductions of MMP-1 and MMP-2 expression in HGF. MMP mRNA levels of HGF were determined by real-time...
