Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: MicroRNAs are small noncoding RNAs that play crucial roles in regulating normal and pathologic functions. Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is one of the key regulators of pulpal pathogenesis. This study investigated how LPS regulates microRNA expression and affects the phenotype of human dental pulp cells (DPCs). METHODS: Primary DPCs were established and immortalized to achieve immortalized DPCs...
