초록

Neurogenic inflammation has been recognized to play an important role in initiating and sustaining of pulp inflammation. The pulpal innervation may modulate several aspects of the inflammatory response via secretion of neuropeptides. In this present study, these neuropeptides that may be questioned about roles in recruiting leukocytes by inducing the release of the chemokine IL-8 in the pulp during inflammation were tested. The response of human pulp cells in releasing IL-8 after the stimulation with SP and/or CGRP were investigated.(omitted)
