Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is one of the various chemical factors that facilitate periodontal destruction. HGF affects nervous system, immune system and reticuloendothelial system. It is a protein secreted by mesenchymal cells such as fibroblasts, and promotes motility and matrix invasion of epithelial cells. HGF - a pluripotential regenerative cytokine - is a key factor in the pathogenesis and progression of periodontal disease, mostly through its over-stimulation of gingival epithelial cell growth and impairment of the regeneration of collagenous structures.
