chronic periodontitis/hypoxia

BACKGROUND Pro-inflammatory markers are seen to increase in inflammatory diseases like periodontitis. Detecting an increase in these markers is one of the diagnostic modality. One such marker, which can be detected, is the ceruloplasmin. Ceruloplasmin induces hypoxia and generates oxygen radicals at

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of hypoxia on proliferation and expression of HIF-1alpha and Caspase-3 in human periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs). METHODS Human PDLCs were exposed to cobalt chloride in order to mimic hypoxia. Cell viability of PDLCs was determined by MTT methods. Expression of

BACKGROUND Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), the α subunit of the heterodimeric transcription factor HIF-1, maintains oxygen homeostasis by regulating gene expression. Under normoxic conditions, HIF-1α expression is maintained at low steady-state levels by the critical oxygen sensor prolyl

Diabetes mellitus and periodontitis are chronic inflammatory diseases that disrupt soft tissue metabolism. The diseases separately or together increase apoptosis in gingival fibroblast cells and reduce cell renewal. We investigated the effects of diabetes and periodontitis on the composition and

OBJECTIVE During orthodontic treatment and chronic periodontitis, the periodontal vasculature is severely impaired by overloaded mechanical force or chronic inflammation. This leads to the hypoxic milieu of the periodontal stem cell niche and ultimately affects periodontal tissue remodelling.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of miR-210 abnormal expression on Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated primary human periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs). The miR-210 level was identified in gingival tissues from patients with chronic periodontitis (CP)

Oxygen deficiency is associated with various oral diseases, including chronic periodontitis, age-related alveolar bone loss, and mechanical stress-linked cell injury from orthodontic appliances. Nevertheless, our understanding of the impact of hypoxia on periodontal tissues and its biochemical

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are proteins that stimulate the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells. These proteins have been described in many pathologic and inflammatory conditions, but their involvement in the development of

Alzheimer's disease is the commonest form of senile dementia. It is characterised by neuronal cell death and amyloid deposition. Amyloid precursor protein (APP), which is highly conserved in evolution, is expressed in neurones in response to a wide range of damaging agents. The hypothesis proposed

Metabolic reprogramming from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis have been implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, such as pulmonary hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis and sepsis. Whether metabolic reprogramming participates in the progression of bacteriogenic periodontitis has
