Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the interaction of platelet factor 4(PF4)with tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in the pathoge-nesis of chronic periodontitis(Ⅲ-C).Methods:22 patients with chronic periodontitis(Ⅲ-C)and 22 subjects with periodontal health were recruited.Before and after periodontal treatment,the concentration of PF4 and TNF-α in gingival crevicular fluid(GCF)and ser-um,the amount of PF4 released by platelets after lipopolysaccharide(LPS)stimulated peripheral blood platelets were measured by ELISA.Flow cytometry was used to calculate the number of platelets in GCF before and after treatment.Results:The concentrations of PF4 and TNF-α in the GCF and serum of the patients were higher than those in the periodontal healthy group(P＜0.05).After treat-ment,the concentrations of PF4 and TNF-α in the GCF were significantly lower than those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the con-centrations of PF4 and TNF-α in the serum were unchanged(P＞0.05).After LPS stimulation of the platelets in blood before and after treatment,the concentration of PF4 released by the platelets was much higher in the patients than that in the healthy controls(P＜0.01),and the concentration was significantly lower after periodontal treatment than before treatment(P＜0.01).The number of CD41/CD61 double positive platelets and CD45 negative cells in GCF before periodontal treatment were 85 times and 87 times higher than those in periodontal healthy subjects,respectively(P＜0.01).Conclusion:PF4 and TNF-α have synergistic effect in the patho-genesis of chronic periodontitis.
