Oral Epithelial Cytokines

Epithelial Dysplasia in Oral Cavity (Review Article)

Among oral lesions, we encounter a series of malignant epithelial lesions that go through clinical and histopathologic processes in order to be diagnosed. Identifying these processes along with the etiology knowledge of these lesions is very important in prevention and early treatments. Dysplasia is the step preceding the formation of squamous cell carcinoma in lesions which have the potential ...

Secretory Forms in Human Oral Epithelial Proteinase 3 as Membrane-Bound and Proinflammatory Cytokines Induce

Pro-inflammatory cytokines up-regulate MUC1 gene expression in oral epithelial cells.

The membrane-bound mucin MUC1 is expressed ubiquitously on epithelial surfaces and is thought to provide protection from bacterial and chemical injury. The present study was undertaken to determine whether MUC1 was expressed in cultured oral epithelial cells and whether expression is modulated by pro-inflammatory mediators released as part of the host response to infection by oral pathogens. No...

cultivated limbal and oral mucosal epithelial transplantation

stem cells located at the limbus ,  are the ultimate source for regeneration of the corneal epithelium in the normal and traumatized states.  when limbal stem cells are dysfunctional or deficient, limbal stem cell deficiency (lscd) develops. its surgical management depends on laterality and severity of corneal-limbal involvement. conventional methods of stem cell transplantation are conjunctiva...
