Abstract:
Objective:To observe the expression of wnt1 in patients with oral submucous fibrosis(OSF) before and after treatment.Methods:40 patients with OSF were treated with triamcinolone acetonide combined with salvia miltiorrhiza,Before and after 4 weeks treatment,pain score of VAS and mouth opening(MO) were examined.wnt1 protein in saliva and gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) was examined by ELISA,wnt1 mRNA expression in buccal mucosa tissue was examined by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR.20 healthy subjects were served as the controls.Results:The expression of wnt1 in OSF group[buccal tissue RT-PCR (36.89 ± 10.40) × 10-5,saliva ELISA (61.61 ± 4.45) ng/L,GCF ELISA (56.20 ± 3.65) ng/L] were significantly higher than that of control group [buccal tissue RT-PCR (4.63 ± 1.53) × 10-5,saliva ELISA (40.26 ± 3.00) ng/L,GCF ELISA (53.45 ± 1.74) ng/L)] (P ＜ 0.01).In OSF group,after treatment VAS was decreased(P ＜0.01),MO increased(P ＜0.01)),Buccal mucosa wnt1 mRNA level was positively correlated with wnt1 protein in saliva and GCF,negativity with MO (P ＜ 0.05),saliva wnt1 was positively correlated with VAS and GCF wnt1,negitively with MO(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:Wnt1 might take part in the occurrence and development of OSF.The detection of wnt1 in saliva and GCF might be a noninvasive method for the evaluation of OSF treatment.
