Periodontitis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Gingival Crevicular Fluid Levels of Apoptotic Regulatory Proteins Bax and Bcl-xl in Stage III Periodontitis
Intrinsic apoptosis pathway plays a critical role in the host immune defense and inflammation and its dysregulation is involved in various chronic diseases. Bcl-2 protein family primarly mediates this mitochondrial pathway. This study aimed to investigate the pro-apoptotic Bax and anti-apoptotic Bcl-xl levels and their association with interleukin-22 (IL-22) and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of patients with periodontitis. In total 75 systemically healthy and non-smoker individuals consisting of stage III periodontitis (n=23), gingivitis (n=26), periodontally healthy (n=26) were enrolled. Whole-mouth clinical periodontal measurements were recorded. Bax, Bcl-xl, IL-22 and TGF-β1 levels in GCF were determined by ELISA. Data were analyzed using non-parametric statistical tests.
According to the 2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases and Conditions, participants were categorized into three groups: I. Periodontitis group (n=23), II. Gingivitis group (n=26) III. Periodontally healthy group (n=26) Clinical periodontal measurements included probing depth (PD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), the dichotomous scoring of bleeding on probing (BOP +/-), gingival index (GI), and plaque index (PI). All clinical parameters were recorded at six points (mesiobuccal, buccal, distobuccal, mesiopalatal/mesiolingual, palatal/lingual, and distopalatal/distolingual) per tooth, except the 3rd molars, by a single investigator (C.Ö.) using a manual periodontal probe. The percentage of radiographic bone loss (RBL) at the interproximal sites were calculated on the digital panoramic radiographs as the ratio of the distance between bone level and the cemento-enamel junction to the length of the root. GCF samples were obtained 1 day following the clinical periodontal measurements. GCF was collected from the buccal aspects of non-contiguous interproximal sites in two single-rooted teeth via steril paper strips. Fluid samples were obtained from two deepest pockets in periodontitis group and the most inflamed sites with clinical signs of redness or edema in gingivitis group. In the periodontally healthy groups, samples were taken from the sites without visible inflammation. All samples were stored at -80 °C until further analysis. Measurements of Bax, Bcl-xl, IL-22, and TGF-β1 levels in GCF samples were performed by the commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. GCF molecule levels were expressed as total amounts at two samples per 30 s. A statistical software package was used for all data analyses. The distribution of clinical and biochemical data was checked by Shapiro-Wilk's normality test. Since the data were not normally distributed, the differences between study groups in clinical measurements and GCF levels of Bax, Bcl-xl, IL-22, and TGF-β1 were compared by the Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test with the Dunn-Bonferroni post hoc method. Spearman rank correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the correlations of four protein levels in GCF with clinical parameters. p<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. ;
