Chemokine expression of oral fibroblasts and epithelial cells in response to artificial saliva

Conclusions Saliva Orthana® stimulated chemokine expression in gingival fibroblasts. Mammalian mucins, but also possible contaminations with endotoxins, might contribute to the respective changes in gene expression. Epithelial cells have a differential response to artificial saliva with Glandosane® changing CXCL8 expression. Clinical relevance Artificial saliva can incite a cellular response, if however the changing expression of chemokines by isolated fibroblasts and epithelial cells in vitro translates into a clinical condition, is not clear.

Elevated transglutaminase-2 expression mediates fibrosis in areca quid chewing-associated oral submucocal fibrosis via reactive oxygen species generation

Conclusions Our results suggest that TGM-2 expression is significantly upregulated in OSF tissues from areca quid chewers. Arecoline-upregulated TGM-2 expression may be mediated by ROS generation. Clinical relevance TGM-2 protein is upregulated in areca quid chewing-associated OSF. Using this in vitro model, antioxidants could inhibit arecoline-upregulated TGM-2 expression. NAC and EGCG may serve as a useful agent in controlling OSF. (Source: Clinical Oral Investigations)
