Role of TLR9 methylation on its active transcription in apical inflammation

Aim To explore the methylation pattern, its role in transcriptional regulation and potential modifiers of methylation of the TLR9 gene in chronic periapical inflammation. Methodology In this cross‐sectional study, apical lesions of endodontic origin (ALEO, n = 61) and healthy periodontal ligaments (...

Zusammenfassung:Aim To explore the methylation pattern, its role in transcriptional regulation and potential modifiers of methylation of the TLR9 gene in chronic periapical inflammation. Methodology In this cross‐sectional study, apical lesions of endodontic origin (ALEO, n = 61) and healthy periodontal ligaments (HPL, n = 15) were included. Products from bisulfited and PCR‐amplified DNA were analysed for their methylation profiles in the promoter region and at each CpG island. Additionally, TLR9 mRNA levels were quantified by qPCR and bivariate and multiple modelling were performed to better understand the influence of methylation on gene transcription. Results TLR9 mRNA levels were upregulated in ALEO compared to HPL (p
