Annexin Levels of Periodontal Inflammatory Regulation

Annexin Levels in GCF Determine the Imbalance of Periodontal Inflammatory Regulation

ANXA1, a member of the annexin family, plays a role in the resolution of inflammation and the regulation of anti-inflammatory responses, while ANXA2 is involved in the initiation of the inflammatory responses. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of annexin family (ANXA1 and ANXA2) in periodontal disease.

Healthy participants (n:25) and stage III, grade B periodontitis (n:25) patients enrolled for this study. Clinical periodontal parameters and PISA levels were noted. Serum, saliva, and GCF samples were collected to measure the ANXA1, ANXA2 and IL-1β levels.
