ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Periodontal diseases are associated with various systemic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and atherosclerosis, which seriously affect the quality of life for patients.
Research motivation
At present, little is known about the potential mechanism of surgical treatment for periodontitis.
Research objectives
To explore the mechanism of surgical treatment for periodontitis based on the gene expression of peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
A total of 337 genes related to periodontitis were clustered into 8 co-expression modules. These genes are mainly involved in G-protein coupled receptor signaling pathway, coupled to cyclic nucleotide second messenger, and adenylate cyclase-modulating G-protein coupled receptor signaling pathway. In addition, 94 transcription factors (including NFKB1, SP1, and STAT3) and 1198 ncRNAs (including MALAT1, CRNDE, and ANCR) regulatory module genes were identified.
Research conclusions
The key factors we have identified affect the recovery of periodontitis after surgery through a variety of biological processes and signaling pathways
Research perspectives
The results of this study provide a new theoretical basis and individualized treatment direction for follow-up treatment.
