Abstract
Objective. To investigate the potential effect of chronic atrophic gastritis on chronic periodontitis and further explore the possible mechanism. Methods. Local periodontal lesions were collected from periodontitis tissues of 30 CAG patients and 35 control adults without CAG (non-CAG). Clinical periodontal parameters were recorded, and the expression levels of distinct CD4+ Th specific cytokines at local periodontitis lesions were evaluated by real time PCR (RT-PCR). Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) detection was carried out in both gastric and periodontitis lesions of CAG and non CAG patients. Results. Clinical parameters analysis showed that the level of clinical attachment loss in periodontitis lesions of CAG group was significantly higher than non-CAG group. It was observed that the infection rate of H. pylori in the CAG group was higher than non-CAG group. Further cytokine analysis showed that Th17 associated cytokines IL-17, IL-21 and IL-23 were increased in periodontal lesions of CAG patients when compared with non-CAG patients. However, Th1, Th2, Th9 and Treg cells specific cytokines were not significantly increased in CAG group when compared with non-CAG group. Conclusions. Patients with CAG demonstrated that significant elevated attachment loss in periodontitis lesions, while elevated Th17 cytokines IL-17, IL-21 and IL-23 participate in immunopathogenesis of both diseases
