Modulation of pro-inflammatory mediators in LPS-stimulated human periodontal ligament cells by chitosan and quaternized chitosan

► Chitosan stimulated the proliferation of HPDLCs at 1d, 3d and 5d. ► Quaternized chitosan improved the proliferation at 1μg/mL concentrations after 5d culture. ► Chitosan inhibited the production of IL-1β and TNF-α at 24, 48 and 72h. ► Quaternized chitosan significantly increased IL-1β and TNF-α pr...

Description
Summary:► Chitosan stimulated the proliferation of HPDLCs at 1d, 3d and 5d. ► Quaternized chitosan improved the proliferation at 1μg/mL concentrations after 5d culture. ► Chitosan inhibited the production of IL-1β and TNF-α at 24, 48 and 72h. ► Quaternized chitosan significantly increased IL-1β and TNF-α production at 24, 48 and 72h. ► The production of IL-1β and TNF-α was inhibited by bFGF. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of chitosan and quaternized chitosan (HTCC) modulate IL-1β and TNF-α in LPS-stimulated human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs). MTT assay revealed that chitosan stimulated the proliferation of HPDLCs. However, HTCC inhibited the proliferation of HPDLCs at concentrations of 1000 and 100μg/mL more than the control, especially after 5d (P
