Weighted Gene Coexpression Network Analysis Identified IL2/STAT5 Signaling Pathway as an Important Determinant of Peri-Implantitis.

Objective: Peri-implantitis (PI) is one of the main reasons for dental implant failure. Until now, the etiology and pathogenesis of PI remain unclear.

Methods: In this study, we used differentially expressed genes (DEGs) analysis and gene function enrichment analysis to assess the expression profile of peri-implant bone tissue and gingiva in PI public data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database.

LncRNA-mediated ceRNA network was identified as a crucial determinant of differential effects in periodontitis and periimplantitis by high-throughput sequencing.

Background And Objective: Although periimplantitis and periodontitis share similar features, particularly clinical features, they are two different diseases and should be analyzed separately. Thus far, few omics-level differences in periimplantitis and periodontitis have been reported. This study was aimed at exploring the differential effects of expression mRNAs, lncRNAs, and miRNAs in periodontitis and periimplantitis by high-throughput sequencing and competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) analysis.
