Role of Cluster of Differentiation 163 in Diabetes-Periodontitis Interplay.

ABSTRACT: Background The aim of the present study was to assess and quantify cluster of differentiation 163 (CD163) protein levels and CD163 messenger RNA (mRNA) gene expression in subgingival plaque samples of generalized chronic periodontitis subjects with and without type II diabetes mellitus (DM). Materials and methods Eighty chronic periodontitis subjects were selected and divided into 40 systemically healthy, generalized chronic periodontitis subjects (Group I) and 40 generalized chronic periodontitis subjects diagnosed with type II diabetes mellitus (Group II). Age, body mass index (BMI), income, plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing pocket depth (PPD), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded. CD163 protein and gene expressions were quantified and compared between th
