Abstract
Bad, Bax, cytochrome c, p53, and caspases-2, -3, -8, and -9 are pro-apoptotic proteins. Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL are anti-apoptotic proteins. Thus, the mechanism of NIF-induced gingival overgrowth might be related to decreased apoptosis in NIFr through a reduction of Bax, cytochrome c, and caspase-3 and -9.
