Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the effect of TLR4 inhibitor TAK-242 on the expression of TNF-α in serum and TNF-α and Arg1 mRNA expression in periodontal tissues of diabetic mice and periodontitis mice.

Methods

Groups of diabetes, periodontitis and periodontitis combined with diabetes mouse models were successfully established and TAK-242 was applied in different groups separately. After 10 days, Elisa method was used to detect the expression of TNF-α in mouse serum and real time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of TNF-α and Arg1 in gingival tissue. One-Way ANOVA was applied to analyze the data.

Results

The expression of TNF-α in mice serum and gingival tissue was increased within diabetic group, periodontitis group and diabetic periodontitis group. The application of TAK-242 could reduce the expression level of TNF-α (Fserum= 25.329, Pserum<0.001; Fgingival tissue= 47.901, Pgingival tissue<0.001) . The expression of Arg1 in diabetes mellitus, periodontitis group and diabetic periodontitis group decreased in gingival tissues while upregulated after treated with TAK-242 (F= 45.897, P<0.001) .

Conclusions

TAK-242 could regulate the expression of TNF-α and Arg1 and might play an important role in the chronic inflammation of periodontitis, diabetes and diabetic periodontitis.
