About

Interleukin (IL)-38 is the newest member of the IL-1 family. It can bind to receptors through various pathways and regulate the formation and function of inflammatory cytokines. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that can start with localized inflammatory reactions created by the supporting tissues surrounding the teeth against microorganisms and then result in loss of teeth. The aim of this study is to compare the IL-38, IL-1β and IL-10 levels of healthy and periodontitis individuals.

Full description

Periodontitis is a destructive chronic inflammatory disease that can start with localized inflammatory reactions created by the supporting tissues surrounding the teeth against microorganisms and then result in loss of teeth. More than any other cytokine family, the interleukin (IL)-1 family (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-18, IL-33, IL-36α, IL-36β, IL-36γ, IL-1Ra, IL-36Ra, IL-37, IL-38) includes key signaling molecules that trigger and perpetuate periodontal inflammation.

Interleukine -1β ( IL-1β ) levels are associated with periodontal destruction in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. Interleukine-10 (IL-10) has been reported to decrease periodontal disease progression rate.

Gingival crevicular fluid shows the cellular response in the periodontium. The most important host-related ingredients are inflammatory markers, including cytokines, enzymes, and interleukins. Saliva analysis is used in the diagnosis of systemic conditions as well as in the diagnosis of oral pathologies.

In recent studies, IL-38 expression has been reported to be abnormal (abnormal) in chronic inflammatory diseases, especially in rheumatoid diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Therefore, this relationship of this inflammatory cytokine with chronic inflammatory diseases draws attention to the regulatory effect of IL-38 in these diseases. The aim of this study is to compare the IL-38, IL-1β and IL-10 levels of healthy and periodontitis individuals.
