Innate Immune Response of Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Fibroblasts and Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Periodontopathogens

Figure 6

Transcript expression profiles of cytokines IL-1β (a), IL-6 (b), and IL-8 (c) among hPLFs, hESC-Fib, and hESC-MSCs in response to P. gingivalis (Pg) and two different serotypes of A. actinomycetemcomitans (Aa serotypes b and c). The transcript levels were normalized to the respective β-actin levels and to the untreated control sample. Values represent the means ± SD of three experiments ( versus untreated control; versus different serotypes of A. actinomycetemcomitans).
