Beta-defensins inducing by interleukin-17s in oral epithelial cell
Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition of periodontal tissue due to unbalancing between host immunity and microorganism. Interleukin-17s (IL-17s) play an important role for periodontitis by inducing innate immunity cell and connective tissue. These cells produce CXC-chemokines, cytokines and induce osteoblast to express osteoclast precursors to destruct alveolar bone. Furthermore, IL-17 could stimulate epithelial cell to produce chemokines such as Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 2 (CXCL-2), Interleukin-8 (IL-8) to recruit innate immunity cell. Human
