| Research Abstract |
The purposes of this project were 1) establishment of genetic diagnosis for high-risk periodontitis patients, and 2) development of periodontal antibody and cytokine therapy based on genetic polymorphisms.
1) Establishment of genetic diagnosis
Fc γ R IIa-R/R131, Fc γ R IIB-232T/T and IL-1B+3954T were candidate genes of periodontitis with SLE or RA.There was strong relation between Fc α R1, IL-GR+48892A/C and aggressive periodontitis. Genes ofFc γ R IIa-H/H131, TNFR2+587, IL-6R+48892A/C, IL-6-373A9T11 correlated with the severity of chronic periodontitis. High risk-periodontitis may be explained by several common polymorphisms with cumulative profiles.
2) Development of periodontal antibody and cytokine therapy
TC-mouse-derived human monoclonal antibody to Porphyromonas gingivalis 40kDa OMP promoted neutrophil phagocytosis of P.gingivalis. This antibody to P. gingivalis 40kDa OMP protected periodontal bone loss infected by P.gingivalis in rats. Improvement of periodontal tissue was observed by administration of TNF-α antibody in a RA patient with periodontitis. These findings suggest that specific antibody and cytokine therapy may be possible in high-risk periodontitis patients.
