1 Nicotine induces the production of IL-1beta and IL-8 via the alpha7 nAChR/NF-kappaB pathway in human periodontal ligament cells: an in vitro study. Nicotine interleukin 1 beta Homo sapiens
2 RESULTS: Compared with the control group, nicotine could significantly induce production of IL-1beta and IL-8 in human PDL cells and cause the similar effects on the expression of the NF-kappaB p65 subunit and NF-kappaB activity. Nicotine interleukin 1 beta Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that nicotine could induce production of IL-1beta and IL-8 via the alpha7 nAChR/NF-kappaB pathway in human PDL cells, providing data for a better understanding of the relationships among smoking, nicotine, and periodontitis. Nicotine interleukin 1 beta Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that nicotine could induce production of IL-1beta and IL-8 via the alpha7 nAChR/NF-kappaB pathway in human PDL cells, providing data for a better understanding of the relationships among smoking, nicotine, and periodontitis.
