LPS induces GROalpha chemokine production via NF-kappaB in oral fibroblasts.
Objective and design Chemotaxis of neutrophils from blood to the inflammation process plays an important role in development of periodontal inflammation. The novel chemokine GRO alpha, also named CXCL1, is a strong chemoattractant for neutrophils. Data on production and regulation of GRO alpha by oral fibroblasts have not previously been presented. Materials and methods GRO alpha mRNA and protein
