Abstract
Objectives: The objective of this study was to explore the effect of periodontitis on Th-cell subsets in local and systemic environments.
Methods: A total of 32 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into periodontitis and control groups. Silk ligatures were applied to the mandibular first (M1) molars in the periodontitis group. Inflammation and alveolar bone loss around the M1 molars were analyzed by histological staining and microcomputed tomography. The mRNA expression of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin 4 (IL-4), IL-17, and IL-10 in the gingiva was measured by qRT-PCR. The proportions of Th1, Th2, Th17, and Treg cells in the submandibular lymph nodes, peripheral blood, and jaw bone marrow were tested using flow cytometry.
Results: More inflammatory cells and alveolar bone resorption were found in the periodontitis group, with upregulated mRNA expression of IFN-γ, IL-17, and IL-10. The proportion of Th1 and Th17 cells was significantly elevated in submandibular lymph nodes, and the proportion of Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells was significantly elevated in peripheral blood, while the proportion of Th1, Th17, and Treg cells was significantly elevated in jaw bone marrow in the periodontitis group.
Conclusion: This study suggests that periodontitis affects the differentiation of Th-cell subsets in both local and systemic environments, resulting in an increased proportion of proinflammatory cells.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Oral Microbiology publishes high quality research papers and reviews on fundamental or applied molecular studies of microorganisms of the oral cavity and respiratory tract, host-microbe interactions, cellular microbiology, molecular ecology, and immunological studies of oral and respiratory tract infections.
Papers describing work in virology, or in immunology unrelated to microbial colonization or infection, will not be acceptable. Studies of the prevalence of organisms or of antimicrobials agents also are not within the scope of the journal.
The journal does not publish Short Communications or Letters to the Editor.
Molecular Oral Microbiology is published bimonthly.
