Alteration of <i>PTGS2</i> Promoter Methylation in Chronic Periodontitis

30 Dec 2009

Abstract excerpt

Levels of prostaglandin E(2) and the prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase-2 (PTGS2, or COX-2) increase in actively progressing periodontal lesions, but decrease in chronic disease. We hypothesized that chronic inflammation is associated with altered DNA methylation levels within the PTGS2 promoter, with effects on COX-2 mRNA expression. PTGS2 promoter methylation levels from periodontally inflamed gingival...
