Analysis of Interleukin 17A in periapical abscess and granuloma lesions

Abstract: Interleukin 17A (IL-17A) is a proinflammatory cytokine responsible for the initiation and propagation of inflammation. One of its actions is the recruitment of neutrophils to the site of infection. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is association between IL-17A expression and neutrophil infiltration in periapical abscesses and periapical granulomas, as well as to find which type of T lymphocyte effector (CD4 + or CD8 + ) expresses IL-17A in these lesions. Elastase, CD4, CD8, and IL-17A wer… Show more

“…For example, interleukin [IL]1-a, IL-1b, IL-2, prostaglandin [PGE]-2, tumour necrosis factor [TNF]-a, interferon [IFN]-ɣ and macrophage inflammatory protein [MIP]-1b are considered potent stimulators of osteoclastic activity (M arton & Kiss 2000, Metzger 2000 whereas high concentrations of IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-13 are reported to antagonistically suppress apical bone resorption (Stashenko et al 1987, Fukada et al 2009, Popovska et al 2017. Furthermore, increased levels of IL-17A have been associated with the development of radicular cysts and abscesses (Ajuz et al 2014, Ferreira et al 2016). As described above, it is evident these molecular changes orchestrate the inflammatory process once it has been initiated and precede the presentation of clinical symptoms.…”

“…The results indicated that there were a significantly higher number of CD4 + /IL-17 + positive cells compared with CD8 + /IL-17 + cells both in the periapical abscesses and granulomas using double immunofluorescence staining. Abscess regions in the lesions exhibited the highest labelling area for IL-17, which was also densely expressed in neutrophils (Ferreira et al 2016). Another study analysed the expression of different Th subset cytokines or markers (IFN-c, TNF-a, IL-17, IL-21, IL-23, IL-33, IL-4, IL-9, IL-10, IL-22 and FOXp3) via real-time PCR array in PGs and control samples and revealed multiple cytokine clusters accountable for lesions with active and inactive status (as determined by RANKL/OPG expression ratio) (Araujo-Pires et al 2014).…”

“…Para-dental g ranuloma is considered an asymptomatic chronic lesion, although sporadic acute cases associated with secondary infections have been reported elsewhere 1,2 . The immune response in periapical lesions is frequently investigated to understand not only the relationship between their pathogenesis and microbiota, but also why some lesions are resistant to non-surgical endodontic treatment 3,4 .…”
