Regulation of NAMPT in Human Gingival Fibroblasts and Biopsies
Adipokines, such as nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), are molecules, which are produced in adipose tissue. Recent studies suggest that NAMPT might also be produced in the tooth-supporting tissues, that is, periodontium, which also includes the gingiva. The aim of this study was to examine if and under what conditions NAMPT is produced in gingival fibroblasts and biopsies from heal...
متن کاملNAMPT enzyme activity regulates catabolic gene expression in gingival fibroblasts during periodontitis
Periodontal disease is one of the most prevalent chronic disorders worldwide. It is accompanied by inflammation of the gingiva and destruction of periodontal tissues, leading to alveolar bone loss. Here, we focused on the role of adipokines, which are locally expressed by periodontal tissues, in the regulation of catabolic gene expression leading to periodontal inflammation. The expression of t...
متن کاملAdhesion and Proliferation of Human Gingival Fibroblasts on Root Surfaces following Photodynamic Therapy: An In Vitro Study
Background and Aim: Previous studies have shown that some dyes used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) have a low pH and may cause root demineralization and remove the smear layer. This study aimed to assess and compare the effects of root biomodification with citric acid and PDT on the adhesion and proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). Materials and Methods: In this in vitro experime...
متن کاملCEMP1 Induces Transformation in Human Gingival Fibroblasts
Cementum Protein 1 (CEMP1) is a key regulator of cementogenesis. CEMP1 promotes cell attachment, differentiation, deposition rate, composition, and morphology of hydroxyapatite crystals formed by human cementoblastic cells. Its expression is restricted to cementoblasts and progenitor cell subpopulations present in the periodontal ligament. CEMP1 transfection into non-osteogenic cells such as ad...
متن کاملProtective Effects of Simvastatin on Cytotoxicity and Oxidative Stress in Human Gingival Fibroblasts Cells Exposed to Venlafaxine
Background and purpose: Venlafaxine is an antidepressant that belongs to the family of selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRIs) drugs. Recent studies have indicated that prolonged use of antidepressants leads to a state where increased formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) overwhelms body antioxidant protection and subsequently induces DNA damage, lipid peroxidatio...
