## Abstract An important requirement for a root‐canal sealer is biologic compatibility; most evaluations have focused on general toxicological and local tissue irritating properties. There is only scant information about mutagenicity or carcinogenicity testing for root‐canal sealer. It has been sho

✦ Synopsis
In the present study various extracellular factors, acting through different second messenger systems, were examined for their capacity to increase the level of c-fos mRNA in primary glial cell cultures. In particular EGF, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate, the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol, and the glutamate agonists, ibotenic and quisqualic acid, were studied. All the extracellular stimuli tested induced a rapid and transient increase in c-fos mRNA level in glial cell cultures regardless of the signal transduction pathway and the final effect on cell proliferation.

In the present study, we investigated whether the activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (Erk1/2) are involved in the induction of MMP-9 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated primary astrocytes. The expression of MMP-9 but not MMP-2 was increased by LPS.
