[Relative analysis of the mRNA expression between endothelin and inducible nitric oxide synthase in pulpitis].
To study the relationship between endothelin-1(ET-1) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) through the mRNA expression in pulpitis.. The model of experimental rat pulpitis; extraction of RNA, the reverse-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) were used.. The mRNA expression of ET-1/iNOS in pulpitis groups was higher than the control. There was relationship in the mRNA expression between ET-1 and iNOS.. Pulp microcirculation was mechanized by the contraction and relaxtion of ET-1/iNOS, which could have direct effects on the pathological change. The control mechanism was due to the up-regulation of ET-1/iNOS gene in transcription level.
