Article Synopsis
- The impact of excess fluoride on liver health remains unclear, but studies suggest it can cause inflammation and damage to the hepatic system.
- This study explores the SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling pathway's role in this process by conducting in vitro experiments on human liver cells (LX-2) exposed to sodium fluoride.
- Results indicated that higher levels of SDF-1/CXCR4 and inflammatory factors such as NF-κB, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β were significantly expressed in the fluoride-treated group, indicating that fluoride may activate inflammatory responses through this signaling pathway.
