Resumo

Introduction: We verified the association between selected bacterial profiles and levels of cytokines, chemokines, and the expression of signs and symptoms of primary endodontic infection with apical periodontitis. Methods: Samples were collected from 21 root canals, and macrophages were stimulated for 24 hours. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, IL-12p70, interferon gamma, and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) were measured using cytometric bead array. We investigated the overlapping net-works between cytokines and chemokines with regression analysis. Checkerboard DNA -DNA hybridization was used to assess 40 target bacteria species. Using factor analysis, bacterial species aggregated in 2 factors. The association of bacteria species-based factors on cytokine and chemokine levels and clinical features was estimated with regression analysis. Results: A negative relationship between IL-10 (anti-inflammatory cytokine) and CCL2, TNF-a, and IFN-g (proinflammatory cytokines) (all P < .05) was observed. CCL2 was positively correlated with TNF-a (P < .01). Thirty-eight bacteria species were detected in primary endodontic infection with apical periodontitis. The first bacteria species-based factor was associated with the size of the radiolucent area (coefficient = 15.42) and tenderness to percussion/pain on palpation (coefficient = 20.79). The second factor was associated with CCL2 levels (coefficient = 1.28). Conclusions: Different bacterial profiles can be differentially related to the expression of inflammatory proteins and the experience of clinical features. (AU)
