Expression and distribution of TNF-α and PGE2 of periodontal tissues in rat periodontitis model

摘要

Objective:To simulate the expression ofTNF-α andPGE2of periodontal tissues in rat periodontitis model.Methods:40Wistar rats were randomly divided into the periodontitis group and the control group(n=20).After the successful establishment of periodontitis rat model, raising for six weeks before the animals were sacrificed.The periodontal tissues were obtained and made into slices.Observed the histopathological changes of the periodontal tissues and measured TNF-α,PGE2 levels change by immunohistochemistry,Western blot analysis andELISA. Results:TNF-α,PGE2 expression of the periodontitis group was significantly higher than that in the control group, the difference was significant(P<0.05).Conclusions:TheTNF-α,PGE2 expression of the rat periodontal tissue in the periodontitis group was significantly higher than the control group.
