Periodontal disease is caused by microorganisms and host-derived inflammation involving increased cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2 ) production. We previously demonstrated that human β-defensin-3 induces COX-2 and PGE 2 in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). We, therefore, aimed to examine the inducible effects of LL-...
