Interleukin (IL)‐1 and Porphyromonas gingivalis Lipopolysaccharide Stimulation of IL‐6 Production by Fibroblasts Derived From Healthy or Periodontally Diseased Human Gingival Tissue

Abstract

Taken together, these results indicate heterogeneity among gingival fibroblasts and an additive effect of IL-1 and P. gingivalis LPS on IL-6 production by HGF. Furthermore, the LPS effect on HGF was not mediated by CD14.
