Abstract
Purpose
To evaulate the effects of chlorhexidine and H2O2 on matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase(TIMP-1, TIMP-2), Type 1 collagen, fibronectin and UNCL expressions in human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (hPDLF).
Materials and Methods
1.2×10-1%, 1.2×10-2% and 1.2×10-3% CHX and 3×10-3%, 3×10-4% and 3×10-5% H2O2 and mixture of CHX and H2O2 were applied to hPDLF for 1 min and 30 min. The mRNA expressions of MMP-1, TIMP-1 and 2, Type 1 collagen, fibronectin and UNCL in hPDLF were analysed by RT-PCR.
Results
The result were as follows:
The expression of UNCL mRNA was higher than that of other mRNAs.
1.2×10-3 % CHX increased mRNA expressions of hPDLF as application time increased.
H2O2 lower than 3×10-3 % increased expression of UNCL mRNA, and did not decrease mRNA expression of hPDLF.
hPDLF treatment with 1.2×10-1 % CHX (with or without H2O2) resulted in no gene expression.
hPDLF treatment with 1.2×10-2 % CHX (with or without H2O2) for 30 minutes resulted in no gene expression.
