Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to investigate the levels of eleven oral species in plaque samples and cytokine levels in biofluid samples of patients with idiopathic uveitis (IU) and systemically healthy individuals (H) with or without gingival inflammation. Materials and Methods Twenty-one patients with IU (n=21), and twenty-two systemically healthy individuals (n=22) were enrolled in the study. Clinical periodontal measurements were recorded. Cytokine levels in the biofluid samples were determined by ELISA. Bacteria gene copy numbers were determined by qPCR on plaque microbial DNA preparations. Results According to two-step cluster analysis, ANOVA and t-test: GCF, serum and salivary TNF-α, IL-17A, IL-17A/E; GCF and serum IL-6; salivary IL-17F and salivary, serum IL-17A/F levels were higher in the IU group than the H group (p<0.05). However, serum IL-10 and IL-17E levels were higher in the H group than the IU group (p<0.05). A. actinomycetemcomitans, F. nucleatum, S. oralis, A. naeslundi and V. dispar counts were higher in IU group compared to H group (p<0.05). Conclusion Altered local and systemic cytokine profiles are associated with differences in the microbial plaque composition in IU. Anti-inflammatory cytokines; IL-10, IL-17E are reduced in patients with IU and Th-1 and Th-17 driven inflammatory responses in biofluids are altered.
