From: Role of αENaC in root resorption of adjacent teeth due to entirely impacted mandibular third molars
Upregulated αENaC was positively correlated with inflammation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in ERR from EIM3Ms. A The mRNA expression of TNF-α was measured in ERR granulation tissues (n = 30) and normal soft tissues (n = 30) via real-time PCR. B Correlation between αENaC expression and TNF-α was evaluated via Spearman’s correlation analysis (n = 30). C: The mRNA expression of E-cadherin was measured in ERR granulation tissues (n = 30) and normal soft tissues (n = 30) via real-time PCR. D The mRNA expression of N-cadherin was measured in ERR granulation tissues (n = 30) and normal soft tissues (n = 30) via real-time PCR. E Correlation between αENaC expression and N-cadherin was evaluated via Spearman’s correlation analysis (n = 30). Data were presented as mean ± SEM. Significance was expressed as: *p < 0.05 and **** p < 0.0001. ns, no significance
