NFKB1 and periodontitis: <h4>Background</h4>The roles and molecular mechanisms of tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like 2 (TIPE2) in periodontitis remain largely unknown.<h4>Objective</h4>This study aimed to determine the expression of TIPE2 and NF-κB p65 in rat Porphyromonas gingivalis-induced periodontics in vivo.<h4>Methodology</h4>Periodontal inflammation and alveolar bone resorption were analyzed using western blotting, micro-computed tomography, TRAP staining, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence.
