Salivary Immunoglobulin Gene Expression in Patients with Caries
BACKGROUND: Immunoglobulins mediate the host’s humoral immune response are expressed in saliva. AIM: To quantify the FcαR, FcγRIIB, and FcαμR gene expression in the saliva of Mexican patients with caries in mixed and permanent dentition. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: This was a comparative cross-sectional s...

Sumario: | BACKGROUND: Immunoglobulins mediate the host’s humoral immune response are expressed in saliva. AIM: To quantify the FcαR, FcγRIIB, and FcαμR gene expression in the saliva of Mexican patients with caries in mixed and permanent dentition. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: This was a comparative cross-sectional study. mRNA was isolated from 200 μL of saliva following the RNA III Tissue Fresh-frozen protocol of the MagNA Pure LC Instrument 2.0 (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Nederland BV) and the FcαR, FcαμR and FcγRIIB were quantified through TaqMan Assays. RESULTS: One hundred individuals, 50 with mixed dentition and 50 with permanent dentition, were included in the study. Statistically, it was found a significant difference (p = 0.025) in the IgG (FcγRIIB) expression between the studied groups. CONCLUSION: Although we confirmed the existence of FcαR, FcγRIIB and FcαμR gene expression in saliva, only a significant difference in the expression of FcγRIIB between the mixed dentition and permanent dentition was found. |
