Abstract

Inflammation of the gingival tissue is associated with (1) an unchanged expression of A1AR, (2) an increased expression of A2AAR and A2BAR, and (3) a decreased expression of A3AR. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the change in the expression patterns can be used to diagnose/predict periodontitis. This finding indicates that the adenosine receptor expression profile is changed in periodontitis with the potential for future clinical application.
