An in vitro anti-inflammatory effect of Thai propolis in human dental pulp cells

CONCLUSIONS: Upregulated COX-2 expression and enhanced PGE2 synthesis upon treatment with IL-1β in human dental pulp cells were suppressed by incubation with non-toxic doses of Thai propolis extract via involvement of the NF-kB activation. This extract could be therapeutically used as a pulp capping material due to its anti-inflammatory properties.PMID:37283330 | PMC:PMC10247283 | DOI:10.1590/1678-7757-2023-0006
