STAT1/SOCS1/3 Are Involved in the Inflammation-Regulating Effect of GAS6/AXL in Periodontal Ligament Cells Induced by Porphyromonas gingivalis Lipopolysaccharide In Vitro

Knockdown of AXL enhances P. gingivalis LPS-induced expression of IL-6 and IL-8 in hPDLCs. (a, d) Verification of the efficiency of AXL knockdown at the mRNA (a) and protein (d) levels. (b–e) hPDLCs with or without AXL knockdown were stimulated by 1 μg/mL P. gingivalis LPS for 24 h, and the mRNA and protein levels of IL-6 and IL-8 were examined. (d, e) Protein levels of GAS6 in hPDLCs with or without AXL knockdown.
