Complete Artificial Saliva Alters Expression of Proinflammatory Cytokines in Human Dermal Fibroblasts
29 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
Complete artificial saliva (CAS) is a saliva substitute often used as a vehicle for test articles, including smokeless tobacco products. In the course of a study employing normal adult human dermal fibroblasts (HDFa) as a model in vitro, we discovered that CAS as a vehicle introduced a significant change in the expression of proinflammatory cytokines. To determine the effects of CAS on gene expression, real-time...
