Abstract:Objective Wnt5a is involved inflammation, including pulpitis, by upregulating cytokine/chemokine expression. Odontoblasts are the first layer cells in dental pulp and respond to inflammatory stimuli. However, whether Wnt5a is involved in odontoblast inflammation is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of Wnt5a in odontoblast inflammation. Methods We measured and compared Wnt5a- or TNF-α-induced cytokine/chemokine expression in mouse odontoblast-like (17IIA11) cells by real-time PCR and Western blo… Show more
