Using B cells obtained from subjects with GG and AA genotypes we demonstrated that treatment with histone deacetylase inhibitors and 5‐aza‐2‐deoxycytidine resulted in an increase in the production of IL10 mRNA. The chromatin immunoprecipitation assay revealed that stimulation with lipopolysaccharide resulted in a higher fold increase in the acetylation of histone H4 and in the methylation of histone H3 for GG genotype cells than for AA genotype cells. The increase in acetylation ...

Survivin gene promoter polymorphism ‐31G/C as a risk factor for keratocystic odontogenic tumor development.
Eur J Oral Sci 2012; 120: 9–13. © 2012 Eur J Oral SciSeveral single nucleotide polymorphisms in survivin gene promoters, notably ‐31G/C, have been shown to modulate the expression and activity of the survivin protein. Consequently, the ‐31G/C polymorphism has been identified as a risk factor for the development of several types of tumors. The aim of this study was to investigate a possible association between the ‐31G/C polymorphism and the risk for keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) development.

Myogenic capacity of muscle progenitor cells from head and limb muscles. 
© 2012 Eur J Oral SciThe restoration of muscles in the soft palate of patients with cleft lip and/or palate is accompanied by fibrosis, which leads to speech and feeding problems. Treatment strategies that improve muscle regeneration have only been tested in limb muscles. Therefore, in the present study the myogenic potential of muscle progenitor cells (MPCs) isolated from head muscles was compared with that of limb muscles. Muscle progenitor cells were isolated from the head muscles and limb muscles of rats and cultured. The proliferation of MPCs was analysed by DNA quantification. The differentiation capacity was analysed by quantifying ...

The rats were killed at specific time points after surgery. Plasma samples were taken for biochemical analyses, and cephalometric measurements were performed. Shortly after nasal obstruction, the vertical nasomaxillary complex and the longitudinal skull base proved to be smaller in both sexes of test rats compared with controls. This was maintained in male rats but not in female rats. In female rats, only the longitudinal skull base remained somewhat shorter as the animals grew older. Reversible nasal obstruction was further associated with reduced dimensions of the olfactory bulbs lasting into adulthood and an initi...

We also elucidated the induction pathways and identified the apoptotic pathway involved in this process. Here, we showed terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase‐mediated biotin–dUTP nick‐end labeling (TUNEL)‐positive HERS cells and reduced ameloblasts near dental follicle cells during tooth development. Co‐culturing ameloblast‐lineage cell line (ALC) ameloblasts and HERS/ERM cells with either dental follicle cells or OCCM‐30 cementoblasts markedly enhanced the apoptosis of ameloblasts and HERS/ERM cells compared with cells cultured alone. However, dental follicle cells and cementoblasts did not modulate the apoptot...

The phenotype of patients with non‐U haplotypes was associated with markers in wingless‐type MMTV integration site family, member 3 (WNT3), collagen, type XI, alpha 2 (COL11A2), and fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1), whereas patients with U4 and U5 haplotypes showed significant association with WNT3 and COL11A2. It is unlikely that mtDNA variants play a direct role in the development of CL/CLP; rather, they may be a surrogate for population substructure and provide a tool to increase homogeneity and statistical power.

The open‐ended approaches showed that the composition of subgingival plaque is much more complex than previously thought. Next to the ‘classical’ putative periodontal pathogens, several non‐culturable and fastidious species are now recognized as being associated with periodontitis, thus enlarging the group of suspected periodontal pathogens. We conclude that routine analyses of subgingival plaque in the clinic are not necessarily of benefit to the patient.

No evidence for a role of CRISPLD2 in non‐syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate in an Italian population. 
 Eur J Oral Sci 2011; 119: 102–105. © 2011 Eur J Oral SciNon‐syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCLP) is a malformation with variable phenotypes, resulting from a mixture of genetic and environmental factors. Some studies have supported a role for the 16q24 region and its candidate gene, CRISPLD2, in clefting. A replication study is necessary to confirm these findings. The aim of the present study was to test, by genetic linkage and association analyses, whether the candidate gene, CRISPLD2, represents a risk factor for NSCLP.

Thirty extracted teeth were obtained, and a flat dentin surface was exposed on each tooth. Adhesives (Adper Single Bond 2 and One Step Plus) were applied to the dentin surface of these teeth and light-cured for 10, 20, or 40 s at 600 mW cm[minus]2. Bonded sticks (0.6 mm2) were tested in tension (0.5 mm min[minus]1) and analyzed, after immersion in 50% silver nitrate, using scanning electron microscopy. The polymer quality of adhesive films was evaluated using thermogravimetric analysis. Statistically higher bond strengths were observed for both adhesives when light-cured for 40 s. Degradatio...

In addition, primers were modified by adding two MMP inhibitors: chlorhexidine, a commonly used disinfectant, but also a non-specific MMP inhibitor; and SB-3CT, a specific inhibitor of MMP-2 and MMP-9. Gelatin zymography of fresh human dentin powder was used to identify the enzymes released by the adhesives. Micro-tensile bond strength ([mu]TBS) testing was used to assess the mechanical properties of resin[ndash]dentin interfaces over time. In none of the experimental groups treated with the mild self-etch adhesives was MMP-2 and/or MMP-9 identified. Also, no difference in the [mu]TBS was measured for the inhibitor-modified and the control inhibitor-free adhesives after 6 months of wat...
