Polymorphisms of pro‐inflammatory cytokine genes and the risk for acute suppurative or chronic nonsuppurative apical periodontitis in a Colombian population

Abstract: This study provides molecular epidemiological evidence that suggests in the present cohort that IL8 / CXCL8 -251 T allele, which is associated with higher production of IL8/CXCL8, is also associated with a higher risk of developing acute suppurative form of AP, whereas IL8 / CXCL8 -251 A allele, which is associated with lower production of IL8/CXCL8, is associated with chronic nonsuppurative form of AP. This suggests a pivotal role for IL-8/CXCL8 in periapical disease because of its ability to induce chemotaxi… Show more

“…The hypothesis that individual genetic susceptibility through gene polymorphisms can contribute to periapical disease risk has been explored recently in the literature (10)(11)(12)(13)(14). However, gene polymorphisms may explain only a fraction of the associated risk because other genetic or ''epigenetic'' events may confer additional susceptibility to disease.…”

“…Recent evidence suggests that genetic predisposition of the host can contribute to an individual's susceptibility to persistent apical periodontitis (10)(11)(12)(13)(14). Polymorphisms in disease-relevant genes, such as cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases, have been shown to be associated with pulpal and periapical pathologies (10)(11)(12).…”

“…Amaya et al (26) did not find statistical association between AP and the studied polymorphism in TNF-α. However, they evaluated the association by combining polymorphisms: IL1β +3954 C, IL12 β +1188 A, TNF-α -308 G>A and IL-8/CXCL8 -251 A.…”

Finally, two studies met the inclusion criteria, De Sá et al (25) and Amaya et al (26), and were included in the qualitative assessment (Table 2). Regarding this aspect, Amaya et al (26) failed in the control group criteria due to a smaller control group than case group.…”

“…Previous studies indicate the association between IL-8 SNPs and periodontitis compared with healthy controls. Some studies suggest that SNPs within IL-8 are associated with susceptibility to periodontitis [24][28], whereas other studies failed to demonstrate associations between periodontitis and IL-8 polymorphisms [29], [30]. The association between IL-8 and chronic periodontitis has not been systematically investigated in the Han Chinese population.…”
