| Research Abstract |
We investigated whether the Treg-Th17 conversion is associated with the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Immunohistological analysis showed that IL-17A+FOXP3+ cells were observed only in periodontitis lesions but not in clinically healthy sites. Next, we established CD4+ T-cell lines from gingival tissues and peripheral blood of periodontitis patients. The proportion of IL-17+FOXP3+ cells in total FOXP3+ cellswas higher in gingival tissue CD4+ T-cell lines compared with peripheral blood CD4+T-cell lines.
