Popis: There is controversial evidence regarding the levels of antioxidant molecules in type 2 diabetes periodontitis patients. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the gene expression of antioxidant enzymes in the gingival tissue of poorly and well-controlled type 2 diabetic subjects with chronic periodontitis (CP).Gingival biopsies were harvested from systemically and periodontally healthy subjects (n=12), systemically healthy subjects with CP (n=15), well-controlled (n=8) and poorly controlled (n=14) diabetic subjects with CP. The messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of peroxiredoxin (PRDX) 1 and 2, catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX1) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) 1 and 2 were measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).The results showed that PRDX1 and GPX1 were up-regulated by periodontitis (p0.05), independently of the glycaemic status, whilst PRDX2 and SOD2 genes were slightly influenced by periodontitis, but significantly induced when periodontitis was associated with DM, especially under a poor glycaemic control (p0.05). Moreover, CAT and SOD1 expressions were not significantly influenced by any of these inflammatory disorders (p0.05).In conclusion, both PRDX1 and GPX1 were overexpressed in CP whilst PRDX2 and SOD2 were up-regulated especially in the poorly controlled diabetic group with CP.
