Abstract: In the present study, cytotoxicity effects of calprotectin on Human Gingival Fibroblast (HGF) and Human Foreskin Fibroblast (HFFF) were compared. For these evaluations, both cells were exposed to the different concentrations of calprotectin, for 24, 48 and 72 h. Cell proliferation was assessed using MTT assay. Our results revealed that growth inhibition of calprotectin on HGF and HFFF occur in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Results of this investigation showed that sensitivity of HGF cells to cytotoxic effect of human calprotectin was more than HFFF. The results indicate that drug resistance process is different for the two kinds of fibroblast cells.
