Following fifteen years of research, Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) are widely reported in a large range of inflammatory infectious and non-infectious diseases. Cumulating evidences from in vitro, in vivo and clinical suggest that NETs may play a crucial role in inflammation and autoimmunity in a variety of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus, and…
Knowledge of the biological events occurring in the periapical tissue of teeth with pulp necrosis is crucial to understand the development of periapical lesions. Several molecules and mediators participate in the installation of the periapical lesion, since the bacterial infection that occurs inside the root canals. Thus, the aim of the present study will be evaluate the expression and in…
The objective of this study is to assess the response of subcutaneous connective tissue of isogenic mice after the use of Photodynamic Therapy antimicrobial (aPDT), using two photosensitizers (phenothiazine and curcumin dyes), at different times of laser application. BALB/c isogenic mice (n = 262) will be used and divided into three experimental steps: first step (n = 89) - standardizati…

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs) in the presence of the Pam3Cys ligand in experimentally induced periapical lesions on wild-type (WT) mice. Forty-eight male mice of the C57BL/6 mice, aged 6 to 8 weeks, weighing on average 20 grams will be used. The animals will be allocated to the following experimental groups: wild-type (WT; n = 24…
IFI16 (interferon gamma - inducible protein - 16) is an intracellular multifunctional protein. The main role of IFI16 is the pathogenic DNA detection inside the nucleus. It functions as an intracellular recognition sensor that activates inflammatory responses against host DNA and microorganisms. It may also be associated with higher levels of periodontal microorganisms and increase clinic…
