Abstract
Odontoblasts are involved in innate immunity against invading microorganisms. However, the mechanisms of host inflammatory responses to bacterial DNA in odontoblasts are not fully understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether microbial cytidine-phosphate-guanosine (CpG) DNA influences interleukin-8 (IL-8) expression in odontoblasts and the signaling pathways involved.
