Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are the essential components in the innate and adaptive immune systems. Colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF2) is a cytokine that may prevent endotoxin tolerance, and LY64 has the ability to interfere with the recognition of bacteria via TLR4. The aim of this study was to explore the in vivo expressions of TLR2, TLR4, CSF2 and LY64 in Chinese chronic periodontitis patients.Gingival biopsies were collected from 24 chronic periodontitis patients and 19 healthy controls. The gene expression profiles of TLR2, TLR4, CSF2 and LY64 were investigated by real-time polymerase chain reaction, and the protein expressions of TLR2 and TLR4 were detected by immunohistochemistry. In addition, the levels of CSF2 in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) were determined by ELISA.The higher mRNA expressions of TLR2, TLR4 and CSF2, and the lower mRNA expression of LY64 were detected in chronic periodontitis patients. And the increased protein expressions of TLR2 and TLR4 were confirmed by immunohistochemistry. In addition, the increase of total amount of CSF2 in GCF was observed in chronic periodontitis patients.Our results suggest that TLR2 and TLR4 may play a role in periodontal pathogenesis. In addition, CSF2 and LY64 may contribute to the regulation of inflammatory response and maintaining periodontal homeostasis.
