Determination of Salivary Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor (SuPAR), Hypoxia-inducible Factor-1 Alpha (HIF-1α), E-cadherin, Galectin 3, IL-4, IL-10 and TNF-α Levels in Individuals With Different Degrees of Periodontal Disease
Sponsor: Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University
Summary
The aim of this clinical study is; Comparatively comparing salivary Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor (SuPAR), Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), E-cadherin, galectin 3, IL-4, IL-10 and TNF-α levels in individuals with different Periodontal Disease Degrees and to evaluate and analyze correlations with clinical parameters. In our study, saliva samples will be taken from a total of 80 systemically healthy volunteers, 20 of patients are periodontal healthy, 20 of patients have degree A periodontitis, 20 of patients have degree B periodontitis and 20 of patients have degree C periodontitis, along with the measurement of whole mouth clinical parameters. Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor (SuPAR), Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), E-cadherin, galectin 3, IL-4, IL-10 and TNF-α levels in the samples taken will be subjected to enzyme-related immunoassay ( It will be determined by ELISA). Cytokine levels between different groups will then be interpreted as a result of statistical analysis. Possible significant differences shed light on future studies with Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor (SuPAR), Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), E-cadherin, galectin 3, IL-4, IL-10 and TNF-α. These cytokines may help develop different diagnostic methods or treatment strategies in future periodontal treatments.
