Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease caused by pathogenic oral microorganisms that induce the destruction of periodontal tissue. We sought to identify the relevant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and clarify the mechanism underlying the rapid alveolar bone loss by using ligature-induced periodontitis in mice. A silk ligature was tied around the maxillary left second molar in 9-week-old C57BL/6 J male mice. In-vivo micro-CT analysis revealed that ligation induced severe bone loss. RNA-s ...[more]
