Abstract
Identifying reliable biomarkers in saliva can be a promising approach to developing a rapid diagnostic kit for detecting vascular aging. This study investigated the most suitable reference gene for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in saliva that is not affected by vascular aging variables. Whole saliva samples were collected to assess the expression of reference genes: actin beta (ACTB), 18S ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA), beta-2-microglobulin, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). The most abundantly expressed gene was 18S rRNA, and the least expressed gene was GAPDH. Four genes were ranked according to their relative stability, as determined by mathematical algorithms, indicating that ACTB and 18S rRNA were stably expressed as reference genes. 18S rRNA was identified as the most promising reference gene for detecting systemic diseases using saliva from patients with vascular aging in these limited experimental conditions.
期刊介绍：
Dental Materials Journal is a peer review journal published by the Japanese Society for Dental Materials and Devises aiming to introduce the progress of the basic and applied sciences in dental materials and biomaterials. The dental materials-related clinical science and instrumental technologies are also within the scope of this journal. The materials dealt include synthetic polymers, ceramics, metals and tissue-derived biomaterials. Forefront dental materials and biomaterials used in developing filed, such as tissue engineering, bioengineering and artificial intelligence, are positively considered for the review as well. Recent acceptance rate of the submitted manuscript in the journal is around 30%.
