Curcumin inhibits the expression of proinflammatory mediators and MMP-9 in gingival epithelial cells stimulated for a prolonged period with lipopolysaccharides derived from Porphyromonas gingivalis

In conclusion, these findings indicate that curcumin inhibits the expression of inflammatory cytokines and MMP-9 in primary gingival epithelial cells stimulated wit hP. gingivalis-derived LPS via NF- κB activation.
