Toll-like receptor 4 gene polymorphism is associated with chronic periodontitis.

ABSTRACT: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) contribute to the immune response by recognizing patterns presented by bacteria and other pathogens. These receptors have been implicated in the inflammatory response that contributes to gingivitis and periodontitis. Conflicting reports have suggested that variations in the genes encoding TLRs, particularly TLR2 and TLR4, may influence susceptibility to periodontitis. In this study, the contribution of variations in the genes encoding TLR2 and TLR4 in the context of periodontitis was examined in 254 patients with moderate periodontitis, 418 patients with severe periodontitis, and 260 healthy controls free of gum disease. Genomic DNA was extracted from participants' whole blood, and genotyping of TLR2/TLR4 as performed using real-time polymerase chain reaction with TaqMan MGB primer. The genotype, allele, and haplotype frequencies were compared among control, moderate periodontitis, and severe periodontitis groups. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square and logistic regression analyses. Of the 9 polymorphic loci detected in the two genes, one, rs11536889 (G>C) in TLR4, displayed a statistically significant difference in distribution between individuals with moderate periodontitis and severe periodontitis (P<0.05). The distribution of the GG genotype in moderate periodontitis was higher than in the severe periodontitis group (P<0.05). Further, for the haplotype rs7873784, rs1927907, and rs1153688 of TLR4, the distribution of haplotype GCG was statistically different between moderate periodontitis and severe periodontitis (P<0.05, OR=1.501). These findings indicate that variation in TLR4 may affect chronic periodontitis susceptibility in a Han Chinese population.

Project description:BackgroundEmerging evidence suggests that oxidative stress forms a key component in the etiopathogenesis of periodontitis. Literature evidence have shown potential antioxidants responsible for combating the pro-oxidants which stress the periodontium, but the peroxiredoxin-sulfiredoxin system is explored very minimally in periodontal disease. Thus, the present study was aimed to evaluate the genetic association of SRXN1 receptor gene polymorphism (rs6053666).Materials and methodsA total of 100 subjects were recruited for this study, which included 50 Periodontitis patients (Stage II and above based on the criteria of American Association of Periodontology-2018) and 50 periodontally healthy or mild gingivitis. Genomic DNA was extracted from the whole blood collected from the subjects. DNA was amplified using specific primers flanking the BtgI region of the SRXN1 receptor gene. The amplicon was further subjected to genotyping using restriction fragment length using BtgI enzyme. The genotype obtained based on the restriction fragment length polymorphism pattern was recorded and used for statistical analysis. The distribution of genotypes and allele frequencies in the periodontitis and control groups were compared using the Chi-square test. The risk associated with individual alleles or genotypes was calculated as the odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals. Statistical significance in all tests was determined at P < 0.05.ResultsThe genotype frequency and distributions of SRXN1 receptor BtgI polymorphism did not differ significantly at ꭕ2df (P = 0.557). Our study results showed that homozygous and heterozygous mutant genotypes had no significant difference (CC vs. CT + TT) between the periodontitis patients and control group with a P = 0.4266. The detected frequency of CT (38% vs. 34%) and TT (42% vs. 52%) genotype showed no significant difference between control and test group. There was no significant difference in C allele (39% vs. 31%) and T allele (61% vs. 69%) between the test and control group.ConclusionThe present study denotes that SRXN1 receptor gene polymorphism is not associated with periodontitis in the study group analyzed.
