Human β-defensins are correlated with the immune infiltration and regulated by vitamin D < sub > 3 < /sub > in periodontitis

CONCLUSION: HBDs are correlated with immune infiltration in periodontitis. Vitamin D3 inhibits the expression of HBDs and chemokines induced by TNF-α/Pg-LPS, possibly through NF-κB pathway, in human gingival fibroblasts.PMID:37439265 | DOI:10.1111/jre.13159
