Changes in salivary microbial sensing proteins CD14 and TLR2 with aging

Abstract

Soluble toll-like receptor-2 (sTLR2) and soluble CD14 (sCD14) in saliva are defense proteins that bind specific microbe-associated molecular patterns. Since the oral flora changes with aging, the objective of this study is to determine and compare the concentration of sTLR2 and sCD14 in the saliva of healthy individuals in age groups from the first to the sixth decade of life. Unstimulated whole saliva was collected after obtaining informed consent. The concentration of sCD14 and sTLR-2 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Statistical differences between the age groups were determined by analysis of variance. The relationship between the two markers in each age group was evaluated by Pearson's correlation coefficient and linear regression analyses. The concentration of salivary sTLR2 was highest in the youngest, and that of the sCD14 was highest in the oldest age group. While the salivary sCD14 and the sTLR2 exhibited a moderate negative correlation in the youngest, the relationship between the two markers was inversed in the oldest age group. The results of our exploratory study suggest a need to adjust for age-dependent changes in sCD14 and sTLR2 in healthy saliva while assessing the two proteins as biomarkers.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
