Progesterone, but not β-estradiol, enhances Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide-induced vascular endothelial growth factor-A expression in human THP-1 monocytes
2013
Journal of Dental Sciences
Background/purpose: Progesterone and estrogen levels are elevated during pregnancy and play a role in maternal immune responses. In addition, unbalanced metabolism of growth factors has been demonstrated in pregnancy tumors. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effect of progesterone and b-estradiol on vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in THP-1 monocytes in response to Porphyromonas gingivalis
