Houttuynia cordata suppresses the Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans-induced increase of inflammatory-related genes in cultured human gingival epithelial cells
Background/purpose: Periodontitis is an infectious inflammatory disease. Gingival epithelium is the primary barrier against invasion of microorganisms and produces inflammatory cytokines. Our previous studies showed that regulating the function on the gingival epithelium was useful in suppressing th...
