Publication Metadata only The relationship between vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms and periodontitis in turkish individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus(2022-07-01) DOĞAN, BAŞAK; MEGA TİBER, PINAR; Yildiz A. S., Ustundag F. D., Tiber P., Dogan B.© 2022 Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications. All rights reserved.Background and Aim: Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms have been implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases, such as periodontitis and diabetes mellitus (DM). The present study aimed to evaluate the distributions of VDR polymorphisms in diabetic individuals with healthy periodontium (DMH), diabetic individuals with periodontitis (DMP), nondiabetic individuals with healthy periodontium (H), and nondiabetic individuals with periodontitis (P). Material and Methods: A total of 200 individuals (DMH = 40, DMP = 60, H = 40, and P = 60) were recruited. All clinical periodontal parameters, demographical, and biochemical variables were recorded. Blood samples were collected, and genomic DNA was isolated by Purelink® Genomic DNA Mini Kit. Genotyping of VDR polymorphisms ApaI, BsmI, FokI, and TaqI were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using allele-specific probes. Results: The distribution of the BsmI variant showed differences between DMH and H groups (P = 0.034). In addition, carrying the GG genotype (OR = 0.317; 95% CI = 0.126-0.797; P = 0.013) and the G allele (OR = 2.373; 95% CI = 1.203-4.681; P = 0.012) increased the risk of type 2 DM. Moreover, it was determined that the frequency of CC genotype of FokI variant was higher in DMP compared to DMH (P = 0.046). It was determined that having the CC genotype (OR = 2.706; 95% CI = 1.185-6.176; P = 0.017) and the C allele (OR = 1.917; 95% CI = 0.995-3.694; P = 0.049) increased the risk of periodontitis among diabetic individuals. No differences were detected among groups in the genotype and allele distributions of ApaI and TaqI variants (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The present study showed that the BsmI variant was a risk factor for DM among periodontally healthy individuals and the FokI variant for periodontitis among diabetic individuals.Publication Metadata only Salivary and serum markers of angiogenesis in periodontitis in relation to smoking(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2021) DOĞAN, BAŞAK; Yilmaz Sastim, Cigdem; Gursoy, Mervi; Kononen, Eija; Kasurinen, Akseli; Norvio, Susanna; Gursoy, Ulvi Kahraman; Dogan, BasakObjective Angiogenesis is essential in maintenance of periodontal homeostasis, and it is regulated by growth factors and cytokines, including basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF), endoglin, platelet and endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1). In this study, the salivary and serum concentrations of these angiogenesis-related proteins in relation to smoking and periodontitis were examined. Material and methods Full-mouth periodontal status together with unstimulated whole saliva and serum samples was collected from 78 individuals, including 40 periodontitis patients (20 smokers and 20 nonsmokers) and 38 periodontally healthy controls (20 smokers and 18 nonsmokers). The Luminex (R)-xMAP (TM) technique was used for protein analyses. Results Concentrations of all tested proteins in saliva as well as VEGF in serum were significantly higher in periodontitis patients than in healthy controls. In smokers, serum concentrations of endoglin (p = 0.017) and sICAM-1 (p = 0.001) were elevated in comparison to nonsmokers. After adjusting for smoking and gender, periodontitis associated significantly with salivary concentrations of b-FGF, PECAM-1, VEGF, sICAM-1, and sVCAM-1 (p < 0.01). Conclusion Taken together, salivary concentrations of b-FGF, PECAM-1, and VEGF associate with periodontitis. The suppressive effect of smoking on salivary marker levels is limited to periodontitis patients only.Publication Metadata only Relationship of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans serotype b to aggressive periodontitis: Frequency in pure cultured isolates(WILEY, 2004) DOĞAN, BAŞAK; Yang, HW; Asikainen, S; Dogan, B; Suda, R; Lai, CHBackground: To our knowledge, the association of the five serotypes of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans) to the new diagnostic classification scheme defined by the American Academy of Periodontology in 1999 has not yet been described. The goal of this study was to characterize the frequencies of the five serotypes of A. actinomycetemcomitans in A. actinomycetemcomitans isolates from various forms of periodontitis using both old and new diagnostic classifications and to determine the relationships between serotype and age and clinical diagnosis. Methods: A total of 345 A. actinomycetemcomitans isolates from 115 A. actinomycetemcomitans culture-positive subjects (mean age 38.0 +/- 18.3 years, 59% female) were collected. Based on the new classifications, 33 subjects had aggressive periodontitis and 82 chronic periodontitis. According to old classifications, there were six prepubertal periodontitis (PPP), 12 localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP), 15 post-localized juvenile periodontitis (PLJP), 28 refractory periodontitis (Ref-P), and 54 adult periodontitis (AP) cases. Serotypes of A. actinomycetemcomitans were determined by an indirect immunofluorescence assay using serotype-specific polyclonal antisera to A. actinomycetemcomitans strains ATCC 29523, ATCC 43728, ATCC 33384, IDH 781 and IDH 1705 (serotype a, b, c, d, and e, respectively). Proportions of serotype b were examined between different diagnostic and age groups with a Z-test for proportions. Results: Most subjects (n = 100, 86.96%) were infected with a single serotype (22 serotype a, 44 serotype b, 30 serotype c, 1 serotype d, and 3 serotype e). There were 11 subjects (9.57%) with two serotypes and two subjects (1.74%) with 3 serotypes. Two individuals had isolates lacking any detectable serotype antigen. Serotype b was the predominant serotype in children under 18 years of age and young adults between 19 to 35 years, although serotype b status was not significantly associated with age. Serotypes d and e were not found in patients under 35 years old. In 62 adult patients, one subject had serotype d and three had serotype e. Serotype b was the most common serotype in aggressive periodontitis (60.61%). The proportion of cases with serotype b was significantly higher in aggressive periodontitis compared to chronic periodontitis (P = 0.031). Other serotypes were not significantly associated with new diagnostic categories. Serotypes d and e were not detected in aggressive periodontitis. Conclusion: The results of this study show that proportions of serotype b of A. actinomycetemcomitans are significantly greater in culture-positive patients with aggressive periodontitis than those with chronic periodontitis.Publication Metadata only Consistent intrafamilial transmission of actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans despite clonal diversity(AMER ACAD PERIODONTOLOGY, 2008) DOĞAN, BAŞAK; Dogan, Basak; Kipalev, Arzu Sahan; Okte, Emel; Sultan, Nedim; Asikainen, Sirkka E.Background: Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is a major pathogen in aggressive periodontitis. Our objectives were to determine the periodontal status and occurrence of A. actinomycetemcomitans in family members of subjects with A. actinomycetemcomitans-positive aggressive periodontitis (AgP) and to evaluate the probability of its intrafamilial transmission. Methods: Of the 300 subjects screened, 66 (22%) had AgP and A. actinomycetemcomitans. Eleven (probands) of these 66 subjects with AgP met the strict inclusion criteria for the study. The study population consisted of 55 subjects, including probands and their family members (N = 44). Two family groups were formed according to whether the proband was a child (N = 7) or a parent (N = 4). Subgingival samples from all subjects were cultured for A. actinomycetemcomitans, and its clonal types were determined by combining serotype and genotype data for each isolate. Results: Among 42 dentate family members, 16 (38%) exhibited periodontitis and eight (50%) had AgP. Periodontitis was found in nine of 12 (75%) of the dentate parents and six of 17 (35%) siblings of the child probands. A. actinomycetemcomitans was detected in 16 of 31 (52%) family members, i.e., one parent and at least one sibling in six families. The child probands shared A. actinomycetemcomitans clonal types with their parents in five of six (83%) families and with their siblings in three of six (50%) families. In the four parent-proband families, A. actinomycetemcomitans occurred in two spouses and all nine children. The parent probands shared A. actinomycetemcomitans clonal types with their spouses in both families and with their children in three of four families. In all families, the likelihood of intrafamilial transmission of A. actinomycetemcomitans was statistically significant. Members of most families (eight of 11, 73%) also harbored additional clonal types of A. actinomycetemcomitans. Conclusion: Parents and siblings of an individual with A. actinomycetemcomitans-positive AgP may have an increased susceptibility to periodontitis and shared and/or other clonal types of oral A. actinomycetemcomitans.
