Evaluation of Gene Polymorphism and Gingival Crevicular Fluid Levels of Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 in a Group of Turkish Periodontitis Patients
Introduction: Periodontitis is characterized by the destruction of tooth-supporting tissues. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a significant part in the degradation of collagen structure. The gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of MMPs increase with the progression of periodontal inflammation...

description | Introduction: Periodontitis is characterized by the destruction of tooth-supporting tissues. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a significant part in the degradation of collagen structure. The gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of MMPs increase with the progression of periodontal inflammation. Polymorphisms can be responsible for high expression of MMPs and can exacerbate the breakdown of collagen structure. This study aims to investigate the effect of MMP-3 -1171 5A/6A polymorphism and the GCF levels of MMP-3 in a group of Turkish periodontitis patients. Materials and Methods: Non-smoking, stage II grade A periodontitis (S II-Gr A) (n = 68) and stage II grade B periodontitis (S II-Gr C) (n = 64) patients were recruited. Healthy individuals (H) (n = 72) without signs of gingivitis or periodontitis served as the control. Venous blood was collected from participants to obtain DNA, and the polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used to detect polymorphism. GCF samples were taken to assess MMP-3 levels using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: The MMP-3 -1179 5A/6A distribution showed no significant difference between the groups (p > 0.05). However, the MMP-3 GCF levels of the S II-Gr C group were higher than those of both the S II-Gr A and H groups (p < 0.05), and elevated MMP-3 levels were detected in S II-Gr A compared to H (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The MMP-3 GCF levels showed an association with periodontal tissue destruction, although single nucleotide polymorphism was not associated with the S II-Gr C and S II-Gr A groups in the Turkish population. |
