Periapical granuloma is a periradicular lesion characterized by periapical bone destruction. The aims of this study were to associate the RANKL mRNA levels to periapical granulomas using the real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique and to determine the specific cell involved in RANKL synthesis. METHODS: In eight periapical granuloma and eight periodontal ligament samples from periodontally healthy volunteers, RANKL mRNA was detected by real-time RT-PCR. Expression of RANKL on infiltrate leukocytes was further investigated by flow cytometry in six periapical granulomas. RESULTS: Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB-ligand mRNA levels were higher in periapical granulomas than in healthy periodontal ligament as its RANKL mRNA cycle threshold (Ct) and DeltaCt were significantly lower than that of controls (33.07 +/- 1.24 vs 36.96 +/- 1.69 and 11.58 +/- 3.02 vs 15.60 +/- 3.31, respectively). A 16.2-fold (2.0-131.6) higher RANKL gene expression was detected in the granulomas compared with the control tissues. We determined by flow cytometry that lymphocytes were the predominant leukocyte cells (53.31%), and monocytes and dendritic cells were the main RANKL synthesizers in granuloma lesions. CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that monocytes synthesized RANKL in periapical granulomas and suggest that RANKL is involved in bone loss associated with periapical lesions | Descripción: | 7 páginas, 3 figuras, 3 tablas -- PAGS nros. 283-289 | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1601-0825.2005.01191.x | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/66581 | DOI: | 10.1111/j.1601-0825.2005.01191.x | ISSN: | 1354-523X | E-ISSN: | 1601-0825 |
