IL-17 in Sera from Patients with Aggressive Periodontitis

Abstract: Interleukin-17 (IL-17), the prototype cytokine produced by the Th17 subset of T-helper cells, plays a role in inflammatory responses, autoimmunity, and antimicrobial responses in a variety of infectious and inflammatory diseases. In view of the inflammatory nature and severity of aggressive periodontitis, we hypothesized that IL-17 might be detected in sera from patients with aggressive periodontitis. We used ELISA to measure IL-17 serum concentrations from 67 periodontally healthy (NP) individuals and from 53… Show more

“…Sample size calculation was performed prior to the beginning of the study for all objectives using independent t-test under PS software 9 based on comparing two means from the previous study by Schenkein et al 10 All clinical measurements were performed by a single calibrated examiner. The intra-examiner reliability and reproducibility on measurements of PPD and CAL had been assessed prior to the beginning of the study.…”

“…Furthermore, elevated levels of IL-17A have been detected in serum [6][7][8] saliva [8,9] and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) [8,10,11] of periodontitis patients. Serum and GCF levels of IL-17A have also been demonstrated to correlate with clinical attachment loss in patients with chronic periodontitis [7,8,11] and aggressive periodontitis [7].…”
