Abstract
AimTo evaluate the T regulatory lymphocyte (Treg) profile and its potential contribution to peri‐implant tissue destruction during peri‐implantitis (PI).MethodsPI granulation tissue and crevicular fluid collected during PI surgical (PI group, n = 23) and explantation (PI‐X group, n = 23) therapy, with peri‐implant healthy tissue from second‐stage surgery (H group, n = 20) as controls, were analysed. The inflammatory infiltrate was characterised by H&E staining. The relative expression of Treg‐associated transcription factors and cytokines was assessed by RT‐qPCR. Forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) and neuropilin (NPR)‐1 were detected by immunohistochemistry, and interleukin (IL)‐10, TGF‐β1 and IL‐35 by ELISA. The clinical parameters, namely probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP) and vertical defect depth (VDD), were also recorded.ResultsPI and PI‐X lesions showed up‐regulation of FOXP3, HELIOS and IL35B and down‐regulation of NRP1 and TGFβ1 mRNA expression, compared to H tissue (p < 0.05). Significantly more FOXP3+ cells and significantly less NRP‐1+ area were detected in PI and PI‐X lesions (p < 0.05). IL‐35 levels were up‐regulated, whereas TGF‐β1 levels were down‐regulated in PI and PI‐X lesions, compared to H samples (p < 0.05). PD and VDD were significantly correlated with the down‐regulation of FOXP3 and NRP‐1 (p < 0.05).ConclusionsTreg dysfunction and altered cytokine profiles in PI are associated with inflammation and clinical disease severity.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Clinical Periodontology was founded by the British, Dutch, French, German, Scandinavian, and Swiss Societies of Periodontology.
The aim of the Journal of Clinical Periodontology is to provide the platform for exchange of scientific and clinical progress in the field of Periodontology and allied disciplines, and to do so at the highest possible level. The Journal also aims to facilitate the application of new scientific knowledge to the daily practice of the concerned disciplines and addresses both practicing clinicians and academics. The Journal is the official publication of the European Federation of Periodontology but wishes to retain its international scope.
The Journal publishes original contributions of high scientific merit in the fields of periodontology and implant dentistry. Its scope encompasses the physiology and pathology of the periodontium, the tissue integration of dental implants, the biology and the modulation of periodontal and alveolar bone healing and regeneration, diagnosis, epidemiology, prevention and therapy of periodontal disease, the clinical aspects of tooth replacement with dental implants, and the comprehensive rehabilitation of the periodontal patient. Review articles by experts on new developments in basic and applied periodontal science and associated dental disciplines, advances in periodontal or implant techniques and procedures, and case reports which illustrate important new information are also welcome.
