ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Calprotectin is elevated in saliva from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, but it is also affected by oral disease. We assessed the salivary concentration of calprotectin in IBD patients, in relation to intestinal and oral diseases. Furthermore, we investigated the phenotype of salivary neutrophils from IBD patients, and their ability to secrete calprotectin. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Thirty IBD patients and 26 controls were orally examined and sampled for stimulated saliva. Twenty-five IBD patients provided fresh fecal samples. Calprotectin concentrations in saliva and feces were determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Expression of CD11b, CD15, and CD16 on oral neutrophils was assessed by flow cytometry. Secretion of calprotectin was evaluated in cultured oral neutrophils.RESULTS:
Calprotectin was significantly elevated in saliva of IBD patients compared to controls, particularly in Crohn's disease, irrespective of caries or periodontitis. Salivary calprotectin did not correlate to fecal calprotectin. CD11b expression was significantly reduced in salivary neutrophils from IBD patients. Salivary neutrophils from IBD patients tended to secrete more calprotectin than controls.CONCLUSIONS:
Salivary calprotectin is elevated in IBD regardless of oral diseases. Furthermore, salivary neutrophils secrete calprotectin, and display lower CD11b expression in IBD.
