Abstract
AIM The present study aimed to compare the immunohistochemical expression of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) in placentas from pregnancies complicated with preeclampsia (PE) and placenta previa (PP) and normal healthy placentas. METHODS Placentas were collected from cases of PE, PP and normal pregnancies as a control group (10 placentas in each group). All the deliveries were at full-term (37-42 weeks) by cesarean section and newborns were without any complications or diseases. Expression of IFN-γ in the placenta was determined using immunohistochemical methods and findings were compared. Statistical analysis was performed by Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests for comparing the mean values of IFN-γ expression in the placentas from PE, PP and control groups. Our results showed that the immunoexpression of IFN-γ in syncytiotrophoblast cells, extravillous trophoblast cells, vascular endothelium and basal plate of the placenta from PE group were more than control and PP groups (P < 0.05) and in PP group were more than the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION We concluded that the immunoexpression of IFN-γ was increased significantly in placenta tissue samples of the PE group compared to the PP group and normal pregnancies. It is proposed that IFN-γ has an important role in the different mechanisms of PE and PP progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Periodontitis is an increasingly prevalent complication of diabetes mellitus (known as diabetes mellitus-associated periodontitis), and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25VD3 ) was recently found to be a critical regulator of innate immunity in this disease, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 2 (PTPN2) is a potential downstream protein of the 25VD3 /vitamin D receptor pathway. The aim of this study was to investigate the regulation of PTPN2 in periodontal inflammation in diabetes mellitus-associated periodontitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Porphyromonas gingivalis-infected db/db mice were treated with 25VD3 . Their fasting blood glucose and body weight were monitored every other week, and the levels of alveolar bone loss and serum inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α, interferon-γ and interleukin-6) were determined at the time of killing. The effect of PTPN2 on human OKF6-TERT2 oral keratinocytes was examined through the knockout of PTPN2 using the CRISPR/Cas9 knockout plasmid. The expression levels of the PTPN2, vitamin D receptor and JAK1/STAT3 signaling proteins in the gingival epithelium and OKF6-TERT2 cells were determined through western blot and immunohistochemical analyses. RESULTS After 25VD3 treatment, db/db mice exhibited alleviated serum inflammatory cytokines and alveolar bone loss, and 25VD3 -enhanced PTPN2 expression decreased the expression of the JAK1/STAT3 signaling proteins in the gingival epithelium. Analyses of human oral keratinocytes showed that 25VD3 increased the expression of PTPN2, which dephosphorylates protein substrates in the JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway. CONCLUSION PTPN2 contributed to a decrease in periodontal inflammation in type 2 diabetes mellitus via dephosphorylate protein substrates in the JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway after 25VD3 treatment in human oral keratinocytes and a mouse model of type 2 diabetes mellitus. A thorough understanding of PTPN2 and its involvement in inhibiting inflammation might provide alternative therapeutic approaches for the pathogenesis and treatment of diabetes mellitus-associated periodontitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic Periodontitis (CP) is a common inflammatory disease affects supporting tissues of the teeth and can lead to tooth loss. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between polymorphisms in the IL-28B gene and chronic periodontitis in an Iranian population. METHODS Two hundred and ten CP patients and one hundred healthy subjects were enrolled in the present case-control study. The rs12979860 and rs8099917 SNPs were identified using RFLP and T-ARMS-PCR methods respectively. RESULTS SNP analysis revealed that the G allele of rs8099917 SNP and T allele of rs12979860 SNP increased susceptibility to CP compared to the A allele and C allele (p < 0.0001, OR = 2.712, CI = 1.783-4.126; p < 0.0001, OR = 2.538, CI = 1.784-3.613 respectively). In addition, the CT/GT, TT/GG and TT/GT haplotypes were predominant in CP patients and significantly associated with the increased risk of CP. CONCLUSION IL-28B polymorphisms may be useful predictive factors for chronic periodontitis and correlated to the susceptibility to CP infection in our population.

Abstract
Background: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a key proinflammatory mediator. It plays a vital role in immune response against the oral disease. MIF is a regulator of innate immunity, and bacterial antigens can stimulate serum level of this protein. In experimental gingivitis, the expression level of MIF increases and this increment positively correlates with oral plaque index. The single nucleotide polymorphisms in the gene encoding the MIF protein can control the function of MIF. The aim of the present study was a clarification of the associations between MIF-173 G/C, MIF 95 bp, and 189 bp insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphisms and chronic periodontitis (CP) compared with healthy controls. Materials and Methods: This case–control study was carried out on 210 CP patients and 100 normal subjects. MIF-173 G/C and MIF 95 bp and 189 bp I/D polymorphisms were genotyped, using polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment-length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and PCR, respectively. Allele and genotype frequencies of the variants were compared between patients and controls using Chi-square. test. The value of P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The study findings showed that MIF-173 G/C polymorphism, especially the C allele increased the risk of CP. The 95-bp I/D polymorphism was not associated with CP and the 185-bp I/D variant was not polymorphic in our population. Conclusion: Therefore, MIF-137 G/C variant increased the risk of CP in the South East of the Iranian population. In other words, polymorphisms in MIF gene influence clinical outcome of CP infection and influence the susceptibility to disease. Further studies with larger sample sizes and different ethnicities are required to validate our findings.
