摘要:

目的 研究Toll样受体-2(TLR-2)和TLR-4在不同类型牙周炎及不同炎症程度的牙龈组织中的分布和表达水平,初步探讨TLR-2和TLR-4在牙周炎发生和发展中的可能作用。方法 采集牙龈组织标本分为五组(n=10):正常对照组、慢性牙周炎炎症组、慢性牙周炎临床相对健康组、侵袭性牙周炎炎症组和侵袭性牙周炎临床相对健康组。免疫组织化学方法检测各组牙龈组织中TLR-2和TLR-4的分布和表达水平。结果 TLR-2和TLR-4在牙龈结缔组织全层中均有表达,TLR-4在牙龈上皮也有表达。与正常对照组比较,其余各组牙龈组织中TLR-2和TLR-4表达均显著增加(P<0.05)。牙周炎炎症组中,慢性牙周炎组TLR-2和TLR-4表达显著高于侵袭性牙周炎组(P<0.05)。牙周炎临床相对健康组中,慢性牙周炎组TLR-4表达显著高于侵袭性牙周炎组(P<0.05),而TLR-2表达显著低于侵袭性牙周炎组(P<0.05)。结论 TLR-2和TLR-4可能参与牙周炎症过程,但在不同类型牙周炎牙龈组织中的表达可能存在差异。

Abstract:

Objective To detect the distributions and expressions of Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR-2) and TLR-4 in different kinds of periodontitis and different extent of the inflammation of gingival tissues and to discuss the roles of TLR-2 and TLR-4 in the progress of periodontal inflammation. Methods Gingival biopsies were divided into 5 groups: control group (n=10), chronic periodontitis group (n=10), chronic periodontitis clinically healthy group (n=10), aggressive periodontitis group (n=10), and aggressive periodontitis clinically healthy group (n=10). The distributions and expressions of TLR-2 and TLR-4 were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results TLR-2 and TLR-4 expressed in all layers of gingival connective tissues. TLR-4 was also observed in gingival epithelium. Compared to control group, expressions of TLR-2 and TLR-4 were significantly higher than those in the other 4 groups (P<0.05). Expressions of TLR-2 and TLR-4 in chronic periodontitis group were significantly higher than those in aggressive periodontitis group (P<0.05). Expression of TLR-4 in chronic periodontitis clinically healthy group was significantly higher than that in aggressive periodontitis clinically healthy group (P<0.05). But expression of TLR-2 in chronic periodontitis clinically healthy group was significantly lower than that in aggressive periodontitis clinically healthy group (P<0.05). Conclusion TLR-2 and TLR-4 might be involved in the progress of periodontal inflammation. But expressions of TLR-2 and TLR-4 in gingival tissues from different kinds periodontitis may be different.
