Alteration of PTGS2 Promoter Methylation in Chronic Periodontitis
Journal of Dental Research, 01/25/2010
|
Zhang S et al. – In chronically inflamed tissues, there is a hypermethylation pattern of the PTGS2 promoter in association with a lower level of PTGS2 transcription, consistent with a dampening of COX–2 expression in chronic periodontitis. These findings ... chronic persistence of the biofilm and inflammation may be associated with epigenetic changes in local tissues at the biofilm–gingival interface.
