We found that the statistically significant association of IL1A-889C/T (rs1800587), IL1B-31C/T (rs1143627), IL1B-511A/G (rs16944) and IL1B + 3954C/T (rs1143634) gene polymorphisms with increased susceptibility of chronic periodontitis.
Patients with CP and uncontrolled T2D presented severe periodontal disease and inflammation (PPD, p = 0.0072; CAL, p = 0.0480; bone loss, p = 0.0088), higher levels of CASP1 mRNA expression (p = 0.0026), a stronger pattern of staining for NLRP3 and ASC proteins in the epithelium and connective tissues, and significantly higher production of IL-18 (p = 0.0063) and IL-1β (p = 0.0018) in comparison with healthy or CP subjects.
We will focus on inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha, IL-1, and IL-6, because they have been shown to be increased in patients with chronic periodontitis, in patients with chronic systemic diseases, and in patients with both chronic periodontitis and other chronic diseases.
For IL1B polymorphism, two out of seven studies found a significant statistical association between EARR and CC genotype, whether for CP, there were eighth out of fifteen references describing a statistically significant associations with T allele.
The results indicate that smokers with CP exhibit a significantly higher serum and salivary cortisol, IL-1β, and stress levels and thus they may show an increased risk and periodontal disease severity.
Comparing the efficiency of Er,Cr:YSGG laser and diode laser on human β-defensin-1 and IL-1β levels during the treatment of generalized aggressive periodontitis and chronic periodontitis.
Although the concentration of caspase-1 in saliva samples makes its determination useless for detection of periodontal disease and/or its severity, salivary levels of NLRP3, ASC, and IL-1β may act as strong/independent indicators of amount and extent of periodontal breakdown in both CP and AgP and could potentially be used for prevention and therapy of this group of diseases.
Considering the effects of adjunctive aPDT as compared to SRP on clinical signs of CP in T2DM and smokers, no difference could be observed for all evaluated parameters (PD: Z=-0.81, P=0.41; CAL: Z=-0.19, P=0.84) except IL-1β (Z=4.57, P<0.001).
GCF IL-1β levels at 6 weeks in FMF-CP group were significantly lower than the CP group (p < 0.05), and GCF IL-1ra levels were significantly decreased at 6 week in the FMF-CP group (p < 0.05).
The outstanding predictive accuracy of the resulting smoking-adjusted models showed that IL1alpha, IL1beta and IL17A in GCF are very good biomarkers for distinguishing patients with chronic periodontitis from periodontally healthy individuals.
Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), one of the main periopathogens, initiates an inflammatory cascade by host immune cells thereby increasing recruitment and activity of osteoclasts, the bone resorbing cells, through enhanced production of the crucial osteoclastogenic factor, RANK-L. Antibodies directed against some cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α) failed to exhibit convincing therapeutic effect in CP.
The present study was carried out with an aim to evaluate the role of interleukin 1β polymorphisms, namely +3954C/T, -511C/T and -31T/C, in the development of chronic periodontitis.
The aim of this study was to test that hypothesis using functional Interleukin-1 (IL-1) gene variations across multiple ethnic populations to replace the non-functional markers originally associated with chronic adult periodontitis in Caucasians.
Seventy-four patients with VD of whom 36 had CP were genotyped for single nucleotide polymorphisms in the IL1A -889 (rs1800587), IL1B +3954 (rs1143634) and IL1B at -511 (rs16944) genes and for VNTR polymorphisms in the IL1RN gene.
These results indicate that genotype and protein production of IL-1α, IL-1β and IL-1RN are associated with CP in a Chinese population, and might be putative risk indicators for chronic periodontitis.
Positive genotype heterozygous of allele 1 and 2 for IL-1β+3954 and IL-1α-889 did not represent in this study a major risk for chronic periodontitis (p=0.590).
When stratified by study design, evidences of significant association was observed between IL-1β C(3953/4)T polymorphism and CP in both population-based studies and hospital-based studies.
A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in an attempt to clarify whether IL-1 gene variants were associated with well-defined clinical phenotypes of CP in white patients.
