Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Previous studies have shown that minichromosome maintenance 3 is related with fluorosis, but the expression of minichromosome maintenance 3 in fluorosis patients is not clear yet.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the mRNA expression level of minichromosome maintenance 3 in peripheral blood from patients exposed to fluoride and normal controls.
METHODS:Eleven patients with mild fluorosis by drinking water (exposure group) and 11 cases of control (non-exposure group) were selected for research. SYBRGreen1 real-time quantitative PCR was used to determine the mRNA expression of minichromosome maintenance 3 in peripheral blood mononuclear cel s, and the liver and renal function indicators were detected.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:mRNA expressions of minichromosome maintenance 3 in the exposure group and non-exposure group were (0.573 60±0.102 59) and (0.550 0±0.171 81), respectively, and there was no significant difference between two groups (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the liver and renal function indicators between two groups. The results indicate that mild fluorosis has no significant effect on mRNA expression of minichromosome maintenance 3 in the peripheral blood mononuclear cel s. More indicators are needed to compressively analyze the effect of fluoride on the liver and renal functions.
