Association of mRNA Levels of IL6, MMP-8, GSS in Saliva and Pyelonephritis in Children

Abstract: Nowadays, saliva is a subject of growing scientific interest because of its definite advantages as diagnostic medium. The aim of our study was to investigate the diagnostic potential and reliability of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) of selected genes—interleukin-6 (IL-6), matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) and glutathione synthetase (GSS)—as salivary markers in children with diagnosed pyelonephritis and to correlate their levels with typical urine para-clinical indicators of the disease. Analysis of the mRNA levels fo… Show more

“…The use of analysis from dipstick urinalysis is insufficient to show the state of individual reactivity to pathological processes of the excretory system. Dipstick urinalysis, as a conventional diagnostic method, is often associated with false positive and false negative results, so in determining the pathological process, it is necessary to carry out other diagnostic tests (Angelova et al, 2019).…”

“… 100 Angelova and colleagues detected the salivary mRNA levels of IL-6, MMP-8, and GSS in 28 pyelonephritis children, and demonstrated 64, 3.27, and 1.94 times increase, respectively. 101 Fan et al revealed reduced expression of salivary PARK2 in manganese-exposed smelting workers, which may partly explain the manganese-induced Parkinsonian disorder. 102 Furthermore, the possibility to use those altered mRNA expressions in saliva as biomarkers for disease diagnosis deserves verification in a larger independent population.…”
