RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Periapical granuloma is a common periodontitis type involving chronic inflammation; however, the efficacy of current therapies is limited. Its molecular pathogenesis also remains obscure. Forkhead box transcription factor class o3a (Foxo3a) and Fas-ligand (FasL) are associated with chronic inflammation. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to clarify the roles of Foxo3a and FasL in periapical granuloma pathophysiology. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Periapical lesions were obtained from patients during endodontic surgery and tooth extraction; those diagnosed with periapical granulomas using haematoxylin and eosin staining were further analysed. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed for Foxo3a and FasL, and real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed for FOXO3A, FASL and interleukin (IL)-1ß. Healthy gingival tissues were also examined as controls. RESULTS: Neutrophils, lymphocytes and plasma cells in the periapical granulomas, but not healthy tissues, expressed Foxo3a. Dual-colour immunofluorescence imaging revealed Foxo3a and FasL co-expression in leukocytes. FOXO3A, FASL and IL-1ß mRNA levels in healthy gingival tissues were significantly lower than those in the periapical granulomas. Additionally, FOXO3A and IL-1ß expressions were negatively correlated. CONCLUSIONS: Phosphorylated Foxo3a may reduce IL-1ß release by inhibiting apoptosis through FasL in periapical periodontitis and prevent exacerbation. Thus, Foxo3a is a potential therapeutic agent for periapical periodontitis.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND/AIM: S100A4 expression is associated with the pathology of chronic inflammatory diseases. In this study, we investigated the role of S100A4 and four inflammatory mediators (IL-1ß, IκB, IL-10, and TNF-α) in human periapical granulomas (PGs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: S100A4 expression in PGs obtained by apicoectomy was examined by immunohistochemistry. Further, the expression of S100A4 and four inflammatory mediators was compared between PGs and healthy gingival tissues (HGTs) using real-time PCR. RESULTS: In the PGs, S100A4 was found to be expressed in endothelial cells and fibroblasts. Furthermore, real-time PCR revealed that the expression of S100A4 and IL-1ß in PGs was significantly higher than that in HGTs. Although a correlation between the expression of S100A4 and IκB or IL-10 was not detected, a positive correlation between the expression of S100A4 and IL-1ß or TNF-α was observed. CONCLUSION: The expression of S100A4 correlates with the pathogenesis of PGs.

RESUMEN

It has been reported that Forkhead box transcription factor class O3a (Foxo3a) is expressed in rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic inflammatory condition accompanied by bone resorption, and plays a role in its pathology. However, it has remained unclear whether Foxo3a is involved in the pathogenesis of periapical granulomas. The present study was performed to compare the expression of Foxo3a in periapical granulomas and healthy gingival tissues. Samples were obtained surgically from patients, and subjected to hematoxylin-eosin staining for histopathologic diagnosis. Two-color immunofluorescence staining was also performed using antibodies against Foxo3a and markers for three types of inflammatory cells: neutrophils, T lymphocytes, and B lymphocytes. This revealed that Foxo3a was expressed in all three cell types in periapical granulomas but not in healthy gingival tissues. Foxo3a was expressed in 82.1%, 78.3%, and 77.5% of neutrophils, T lymphocytes, and B lymphocytes, respectively, and statistical analysis using the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the Steel-Dwass test showed no significant difference of Foxo3a expression among the three cell types. Our results suggest that Foxo3a transcription factors may be involved in the pathogenesis of periapical granulomas.
