摘要: Background and Objective: Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4)/myeloid differentiation protein-2 complex ligation by lipopolysaccharide induces production of pro-inflammatory cytokines co-stimulatory molecules on antigen presenting cells. The aim this study was to determine the role TLR-4 in bone loss-resistant C57BL mice loss-susceptible BALB/c after infection with Porphyromonas gingivalis. Material Methods: C57BL/10 mice, either normal or deficient, were infected sham-infected orally four times, at 4 day intervals, 109 colony forming units P. gingivalis. At 47 days, defleshed jaws stained photographed a standardized position. We measured surface area root trunk assess alveolar loss. Results: Porphyromonas gingivalis-infected wild-type lost 13.8% more than P. gingivalis-infected mice. In contrast, TLR-4-deficient 12.7% C57BL/6 TLR-2 knockout had similar levels control mice. Conclusion: is protective for but detrimental since its absence allowed not lose bone. receptor 2 does contribute protection genetically
