Brief Summary: The objective of this study is to 1) identification of the impact of IL-34 on the pathogenesis of periodontal disease and determine whether any relationship among the existing levels of Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) Interleukin 34( IL-34 )and GCF Receptor activator of nuclear factor -kB ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG) and RANKL/OPG ratio, as a mediator of bone resorption 2) analysis of the impact of non-surgical periodontal treatment on GCF IL-34 levels in patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) and aggressive periodontitis (AgP) and 3) to correlate between biochemical markers and clinical recordings
Detailed Description: A novel cytokine interleukin 34 (IL-34) is a second possible functional ligand of macrophage colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF-1R). IL-34 is secreted in different tissues including: heart, brain, lung, liver, kidney, thymus, testes, ovary, small intestine, prostate, colon and spleen . IL-34 shares vital functions of macrophage colony-stimulating factor -1(CSF-1), and manage myeloid cell survival, differentiation and proliferation. It is produced by synovial fluid, gingival fibroblast and human adipose tissue, and is controlled by the transcription factor RANK and activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (CJNK). Additionally, the pro-inflammatory cytokines tumornecrosis factor-alfa (TNF-α) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) arrange IL-34 release from gingival fibroblasts, by a mechanism including nuclear factor -kB (NF-kB) and mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK).The targeting CSF-1 merely is not adequate to inhibit the effect via CSF-1R. Moreover, neither RANKL nor IL-34 solely can cause osteoclast formation which suggests that IL-34 is required but not enough. IL-34 plays a crucial role in RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis; the osteoclasts differentiation is mediated by the same way with CSF-1.

Several studies evaluated the role of IL-34 in the pathogenesis of chronic periodontitis (CP). To the best of our knowledge, any of these studies reported the relationship between GCF IL-34 level and GCF RANKL/OPG ratio in other types of periodontitis before and after non-surgical periodontal therapy. This study highlights the influence of IL-34 in the pathogenesis of Chronic Periodontitis (CP) and Aggressive Periodontitis (AgP).

The objective of this study is to 1) identification of the impact of IL-34 on the pathogenesis of periodontal disease and determine whether any relationship among the existing levels of GCF IL-34 and GCF RANKL, OPG and RANKL/OPG ratio, as a mediator of bone resorption 2) analysis of the impact of non-surgical periodontal treatment on GCF IL-34 levels in patients with CP and AgP and 3) to correlate between biochemical markers and clinical recordings.

The study included 60 subjects: 20 who were periodontally healthy (CTRL), 20 with chronic periodontitis (CP)and 20 with aggressive periodontitis (AgP). Patients with periodontitis were treated with non-surgical periodontal therapy. GCF sampling procedures and clinical periodontal measures were investigated at the baseline and 6 weeks after treatment. Levels of IL-34, RANKL and OPG were analyzed with Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Participants were periodontally assessed at baseline and after non-surgical periodontal therapy in accordance with the following criteria; plaque index (PI)(Silness and Loe, 1964), GI(Loe and Silness, 1963), PPD, clinical attachment level (CAL) and BOP (judged positive if it developed within 15 s following contact). Full-mouth periapical radiographs were used to determine the periodontal bone loss.The clinical measurement were taken in millimeters by a single calibrated examiner (ŞBD), who was blinded to the whole study composition, from six locations of each tooth (mesio-buccal, disto-buccal, mid-buccal, mesiolingual, disto-lingual, and mid-lingual), by the use of a periodontal probe (Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA).

Two sites per participant were selected to collect GCF for each group. GCF samples were collected from the mesiobuccal or distobuccal sites of single-rooted teeth. The sample areas were isolated with cotton rolls, saliva contamination was ensured, all supragingival plaque was eliminated by sterile curette and it was slightly air dried. The paper strips were inserted within the crevice until resistance was encountered and then allowed to remain in place for 30 seconds. The amount of GCF on the strips was measured by weighing the collected liquid. The strips were placed into closed and numbered plastic eppendorf tubes. The liquid was weighed again, immediately after collection, to take into account evaporation. The samples consisting of saliva and blood were discarded from the study. Two available for use samples from per individual were merged to make a singular sample and instantly insert in a singular Eppendorf tube and freezed at \_80°C until aftertime evaluation.
