Human odontoblast-like cells produce nitric oxide with antibacterial activity upon TLR2 activation
The penetration of cariogenic oral bacteria into enamel and dentin during the caries process triggers an immune/inflammatory response in the underlying pulp tissue, the reduction of which is considered a prerequisite to dentinogenesis-based pulp regeneration. If the role of odontoblasts in dentin formation is well known, their involvement in the antibacterial response of the dental pulp to cari...
متن کاملHuman peritoneal mesothelial cells produce nitric oxide: induction by cytokines.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the induction of nitric oxide synthase type II (iNOS) in human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMC) using cytokines and bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). DESIGN Confluent monolayers of HPMC were exposed to cytokines [tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta), interferon gamma (IFNgamma)] or LPS, individually or in various double and triple...
متن کاملEstrogen induces nitric oxide production via activation of constitutive nitric oxide synthases in human neuroblastoma cells.
Although it is becoming increasingly evident that nitric oxide (NO) mediates some of estrogen's actions in the brain, the effects of estrogen on NO production through NO synthases (NOS) in neuronal cells have not yet been identified. Here we assessed changes in NO production induced by 17beta-estradiol (E2) in cells of neuronal origin using human SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cells, which we show expre...
متن کاملDifferential antibacterial activity of nitric oxide from the immunological isozyme of nitric oxide synthase transduced into endothelial cells.
Primary cultures of endothelial cells, grown on the three-dimensional matrix Gelfoam where they take on the morphology of these cells in vivo, were found to phagocytose Staphylococcus aureus and two strains of Escherichia coli. The phagocytosis was independent of opsonization, although once opsonized, these bacteria were phagocytosed by endothelial cells. As cytochalsin D inhibited the internat...
متن کاملToxicity of chlorhexidine on odontoblast-like cells
UNLABELLED Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) is recommended for a number of clinical procedures and it has been pointed out as a potential cavity cleanser to be applied before adhesive restoration of dental cavities. OBJECTIVE As CHX may diffuse through the dentinal tubules to reach a monolayer of odontoblasts that underlies the dentin substrate, this study evaluated the cytotoxic effects of diff...
