DNA hypermethylation of extracellular matrix‐related genes in human periodontal fibroblasts induced by stimulation for a prolonged period with lipopolysaccharide derived from Porphyromonas gingivalis

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES AND BACKGROUND: The involvement of DNA methylation in periodontal disease is not clear. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from Porphyromonas gingivalis is involved in the progression of periodontal disease. We recently developed an in vitro model of LPS infection in human periodontal fibroblast cells (HPdLFs) for a prolonged period. In this study, we examined genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation in...
