Effect of Meth-AEA on P. gingivalis LPS induced gene expression of IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 in hPdLCs. Gene expression of IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 was measured in hPdLCs after 24 h stimulation with P. gingivalis LPS and different concentrations of Meth-AEA using qPCR method. Y-axes show n-fold expression levels (2-ΔΔCt values) of target in relation to non-stimulated control (n = 1). Data are shown as mean ± s.e.m. of 5 different donors. * means significantly different vs. control group (p < 0.05). # means significantly different vs. P. gingivalis LPS group (p < 0.05)
