ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
This study investigated the clinical values of miR-27a-3p for pulpitis patients, and its association with TLR4.METHODS:
Sixty-six patients with pulpitis and 34 cases without pulpitis were recruited; the pulp tissue and serum samples were collected from each participant. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used for measurement of gene expression levels. The diagnosis values were assessed by the receiver operating characteristic curve. The target gene of miR-27a-3p was confirmed by the luciferase reporter assay.RESULTS:
MiR-27a-3p was downregulated in both serum and pulp tissue of pulpitis patients. MiR-27a-3p could distinguish pulpitis patients from healthy controls and might be a predictor for the development of irreversible pulpitis. A high level of TLR4 was also detected in both peripheral blood monocytes and pulp tissues from pulpitis patients and showed a negative association with the miR-27a-3p level. TLR4 was a direct target gene of miR-27a-3p. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION:
MiR-27a-3p might be a promising biomarker for the diagnosis of pulpitis and predict the development of irreversible pulpitis. MiR-27a-3p might be involved in the pathogenesis of pulpitis via targeting TLR4.Palavras-chave
