Dysregulation of human miRNAs and increased prevalence of HHV miRNAs in obese periodontitis subjects

Abstract excerpt

AIM: To evaluate human and herpesvirus-encoded microRNA (miRNA) expression in healthy and diseased gingiva of obese and non-obese subjects and compare the impact of localized and systemic inflammation on human miRNA profiles. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Healthy and inflamed gingival biopsies were collected from obese and non-obese subjects. Human and herpesvirus miRNA expression was quantified using quantitative PCR....
