Bone loss and expression profile of Th17 and Treg markers in periodontal lesions. (A) The palatal vision of the upper right jaws by SEM. (B) The buccal and palatal vision of the right upper jaws with linear measurements between the cement-enamel junction (CEJ) and alveolar bone crest (ABC) by µCT. (C) The linear distance between CEJ and the ABC measured at days 10, 15, and 20 post-ligations and control animals (baseline). (D) Heat-map visualization of the log2 fold-change mean value (n = 4). (E) mRNA fold-change levels of cytokines, transcription factors, and membrane receptors associated with Th17 and Treg profiles in periodontal lesions of animals with ligature-induced periodontitis and control animals (BL). *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001.
