Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) and interleukin-17F (IL17F), predicted target genes of upregulated miR-144-5p, showed significant decreases and were negatively correlated with miR-144-5p in the periodontitis group (r = -0.742 for COX2, r = -0.615 for IL17F).
This meta-analysis examined the relationship between IL-17A (rs2275913) and IL17F (rs763780 T/C) gene polymorphisms and the risk of inflammatory diseases, including periodontitis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and inflammatory bowel disease.
A case-control study was conducted on patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) and healthy controls with the aim of evaluating possible association between interleukin 17A (IL17A) G197A (rs2275913) and IL17FT7488C (rs763780) polymorphisms and periodontitis.
The aim of present study was to evaluate the expression of IL17A and occurrence of the IL17A (rs2275913), IL17F (rs763780) and IL23R (rs11209026) gene polymorphisms in different clinical forms or severity of periodontitis in a sample of Brazilian individuals.
The expression level of IL-17A was higher than that of IL-17F and a significant difference in expression between gingivitis and periodontitis was observed only for IL-17A.
