Brief summary
Objectives: Wnt5a is a secreted Wnt ligand that plays an important role in cellular homeostasis. Wnt interaction with coreceptor low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) induces the proliferation of osteoblasts and prolongs their functional life. The aim of this study is evaluating the levels of Wnt5a and LRP5 in serum and saliva samples and relationship between clinical periodontal parameters. Method: Saliva and serum samples were collected from 20 systemically healthy patients with stage III periodontitis and 20 periodontally healthy controls. Wnt5a and LRP5 levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Clinical periodontal parameters including plaque index (PI), probing pocket depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Wnt5a | 1 month | Wnt5a is synthesized by activated antigen-presenting cells and its expression is induced by mycobacterial cell wall components and endotoxin in human antigen-presenting cells, and Wnt5a signaling is required for the overall inflammatory response of human macrophages during sepsis.The levels of Wnt5a in both serum and saliva samples were determined using commercially available ELISA kits. All assays were conducted according to the manufacturers' instructions. |
| LRP5 | 1 month | Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) is a WNT coreceptor in the LRP superfamily involved in a wide range of biological processes including endocytosis, cellular communication, lipid homeostasis and embryonic development. The levels of LRP5 in both serum and saliva samples were determined using commercially available ELISA kits. All assays were conducted according to the manufacturers' instructions. |
