Upregulation of lysyl oxidase expression in cyclosporin A-induced gingival overgrowth
Journal of Dental Sciences, 2009 Lysyl oxidase (LOX) is involved in the initial steps of converting soluble monomers of collagen and elastin into insoluble fibers in the extracellular matrix. LOX was found to be upregulated in some fibrotic diseases.

Periodontitis and metabolic diseases (diabetes and obesity): Tackling multimorbidity
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are multifactorial, long‐term, chronic conditions that represent a burden to health‐care systems worldwide as they can only be controlled rather than cured; hence, they require long‐term care. With the exponential increase in NCDs, the occurrence of individuals presenting with more than one chronic disease is ...

Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition in Gingival Overgrowth [PDF]
The American Journal of Pathology, 2010 Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) occurs normally in development. In pathology, EMT drives cancer and fibrosis. Medication with phenytoin, nifedipine, and cyclosporine-A often causes gingival overgrowth. Based partly on the histopathology of gingival overgrowth, the present study investigates the hypothesis that EMT could contribute to its ...
