Patterns of cytokeratin expression in monkey and human periodontium following regenerative and conventional periodontal surgery.

Abstract：

:The pattern of cytokeratin expression has been extensively described in the normal and inflamed periodontium. However, there is no information regarding the pattern of cytokeratin expression in the periodontium which has been reformed following regenerative periodontal surgery. The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the pattern of cytokeratin expression in the reformed human and monkey periodontium following regenerative and conventional periodontal surgery. In 3 monkeys, acute fenestration-type and chronic intrabony defects were treated with guided tissue regeneration (GTR), enamel matrix proteins (EMD), or coronally repositioned flap surgery (control). After a healing period of 5 months, the animals were sacrificed and perfused with 10% buffered formalin for fixation. Specimens containing the defects and surrounding tissues were dissected free, decalcified in EDTA and embedded in paraffin. Histological sections were cut with the microtome set at 3 microm. The sections were alternatively stained either with hematoxylin and eosin, or immunohistochemically by using one of the broad range monoclonal antibodies 34betaE 12 (for cytokeratins 1, 5, 10 and 14) or KL 1 (for cytokeratins 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 16 and 19), or one of the individual monoclonal antibodies LL025 (for cytokeratin 16), DC 10 (for cytokeratin 18), A53-B/A2 (for cytokeratin 19). Twelve patients, each displaying one deep intrabony defect scheduled for extraction due to advanced periodontitis or prosthetic reasons, were treated as described above. Following a healing period of 6 months, the teeth were extracted together with some of their surrounding soft and hard tissues. The histological and immunohistochemical processing of the human biopsies was identical to that described in monkeys. The results revealed that both the normal non-treated (original) monkey and human junctional epithelium stained strongly with all of the monoclonal antibodies used. The reformed junctional epithelium displayed the same cytokeratin expression pattern as the non-treated junctional epithelium. No differences regarding the cytokeratin expression pattern of the junctional epithelium were found between the treatments and types of healing (i.e. regenerative, through a new periodontal ligament, or reparative through a long junctional epithelium). In the intact periodontal ligament, the epithelial rests of Malassez displayed a comparable cytokeratin expression pattern to that of the junctional epithelium. However, no expression of cytokeratins was seen in the newly formed periodontal ligament. In such specimens, cytokeratin expression was observed only until the borderline between the regenerated cementum and the epithelial downgrowth. It was concluded that: a) the reformed junctional epithelium, following any type of surgical procedure, displays a similar pattern of cytokeratin expression to the original junctional epithelium; b) in the newly formed periodontal ligament, no expression of cytokeratins is present; and c) the epithelial rests of Malassez do not seem to reform after regenerative periodontal surgery.
