摘要: 辅助性T细胞17(T-helper 17 cell,Th17)具有促进炎症反应,加重牙槽骨破坏等作用,其主要分泌的促炎细胞因子为白细胞介素(interleukin,IL)-17。调节性T细胞(regulatory T cell,Treg)则可以分泌IL-10和转化生长因子β(transforming growth factor β,TGF-β),抑制炎症反应,并能通过细胞-细胞接触的方式抑制Th17细胞的功能。目前认为Th17/Treg及其分泌的细胞因子失衡在牙周炎的发生发展中起重要作用,但Th17/Treg失衡在牙周炎发生发展中的作用和机制尚不明确。本文就Th17细胞、Treg细胞对牙周炎的作用以及Th17/Treg失衡对牙周炎发生发展的影响作一综述。

Abstract: Periodontitis is a human oral chronic infectious diseases. The recent studies indicate that the imbalance between Th17/Treg cells and their cytokines play an important role in the development of periodontitis. Th17 cells promote inflammation and cause alveolar bone destruction, IL-17 is the main effector of Th17 cells. Treg cells secrete IL-10 and TGF-β, which can suppress inflammation. And Tregs can suppress the function of Th17 cells by cell-cell contacting. But the role and mechanism Th17/Treg imbalance in the development of periodontitis is not clear. This review highlights the role of Th17 cells and Treg cells in periodontitis, and the influence that Th17/Treg imbalance brings to the initiation development of periodontitis.
