ABSTRACT

Aim: To evaluate the involvement of Th2 cells in different periods of the active phase of experimental periodontal disease and expression of the R1 subunit of the receptor for IFN-γ during the early and advanced progression of the disease. Methods: Experimental periodontitis was induced in 30 male Wistar rats by placing cotton ligatures around the mandibular first molars. The rats were then randomly assigned into two groups: G1=15 and G2=15, in group G1, ligatures were maintained for 2 days, a period that corresponds to the initial stage of periodontal disease in rats, in G2 ligatures were left for 15 days, a period that corresponds to the advanced stage of periodontal disease. The contra-lateral teeth served as controls (unligated). An immunohistochemical investigation of the gingival tissue was performed to detect the presence of the Th2 specific transcription factor (GATA3). Results Light microscopy analysis revealed a decreased expression of GATA-3-positive cells when bone loss progressed. IFN-γ R1 was detected at an early stage during the active phase of disease, but the expression of positive cells remained unaltered during the remaining period of the study.

ABSTRACT

A resposta do hospedeiro tem um importante papel na patogênese periodontal. Mediadores como as citocinas liberadas por células inflamatórias durante a resposta imune, frente a um ataque bacteriano, desempenham papéis antagônicos que podem culminar com a proteção ou não do tecido agredido, o que fundamenta o paradigma da resposta Th1/Th2 na doença periodontal. Na tentativa de esclarecer a participação das células Th2, em diferentes tempos, na fase ativa da doença periodontal, bem como observar se o microambiente encontrava-se preparado para uma resposta Th1, induziu-se doença periodontal experimental em 30 ratos Wistar machos, através da colocação de ligaduras de algodão ao redor dos primeiros molares mandibulares. Os animais foram divididos, aleatoriamente, em dois grupos: Grupo 1(G1=15) e Grupo 2 (G2=15). em G1 as ligaduras foram mantidas por 2 dias, que configurou o estágio inicial da doença periodontal e no G2, as ligaduras foram mantidas por 15 dias, que foi considerado o estágio avançado da doença periodontal. Os dentes...
