Abstract

An ideal dentin bonding agent should be nonirritating to surrounding tissues. Unfortunately, all histological investigations have demonstrated that dentin bonding agents can induce mild to severe inflammatory alterations. However, there is little information on the precise mechanisms about dentin bonding agents‐induced inflammatory reaction. Cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2) is an inducible enzyme believed to be responsible for prostaglandin synthesis at the site of inflammation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of three dentin bonding agents, Clearfil SE Bond, Prime & Bond NT, and Single Bond on the expression of COX‐2 mRNA gene and protein in cultured human gingival fibroblasts. The exposure of quiescent human gingival fibroblasts to dentin bonding agents resulted in the induction of COX‐2 mRNA expression. The investigations of the time‐dependent on COX‐2 mRNA expression in dentin bonding agent‐treated human gingival fibroblasts revealed different patterns. The influence of COX‐2 mRNA depended on the tested materials. In addition, all dentin bonding agents also induced COX‐2 protein expression in human gingival fibroblasts. Taken together, the activation of COX‐2 expression may be one of the potential mechanisms of dentin bonding agent‐induced gingival inflammation. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract Heme oxygenase‐1 (HO‐1) is known as a stress‐inducible protein and functions as an antioxidant enzyme. It has been shown that HO‐1 is induced rapidly by a variety of chemical and physical stimuli. However, little is known about the induction of cellular signaling events after cell expos

Objective. The cyclooxygenase (COX) metabolite, 15-deoxy-⌬ 12,14 -prostaglandin J 2 (15d-PGJ 2 ), has been reported to inhibit the expression of a number of genes involved in the pathogenesis of arthritis. However, its effects on COX-2 remain controversial. We undertook this study to investigate the
