| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we focused on the relationship between hypoxia-inducing factor (HIF) and inflammatory cytokines IL-17 and Th17 in the onset and deterioration of periodontitis.
The experiment was carried out by adopting a model that induces the occurrence of periodontitis by ligating the silk thread to the molar of the upper jaw of the mouse. We examined the localization of HIF, IL-17, T cells immunohistologically on the periodontal tissue in which alveolar bone destruction occurred, but no clear difference was found compared with healthy periodontal tissue. Gene expression of IL-17 in periodontitis showed an upward trend in real time PCR. There was no difference in the amount of alveolar bone destruction in IL-17A and IL-17F gene-deficient and wild-type mice, respectively.
