Differential Production of Macrophage Inflammatory Protein‐1α, Stromal‐Derived Factor‐1, and IL‐6 by Human Cultured Periodontal Ligament and Gingival Fibroblasts Challenged With Lipopolysaccharide From <i>P. gingivalis</i>

Abstract

The distinct ability of the gingival and periodontal ligament fibroblasts to secrete MIP-1alpha, SDF-1, and IL-6 emphasizes that these cells may differently contribute to the balance of cytokines in the LPS-challenged periodontium.
