The functional bi-allelic polymorphism of immunoglobulin G (IgG) Fc receptor (FcgammaR) IIa influences the efficiency of human IgG2 binding. Our previous study showed that the high affinity FcgammaRIIa genotype (-H/H131) was associated with periodontitis risk. As interleukin-1 (IL-1) is one of the major causes of periodontal tissue destruction, it is hypothesized that the FcgammaRIIa-H/H131cross-linking could induce an increased IL-1 release by mononuclear cells. In this study, we evaluated the intracellular expressions of IL-1beta in CD14 positive cells upon stimulation with human IgG2 by flow cytometry. FcgammaRIIa-H/H131 subjects exhibited a higher percentage of IL-1beta-producing cells than FcgammaRIIa-R/H131 and -R/R131 subjects (P < 0.05). These results support the concept that FcgammaRIIa genotype may affect IL-1beta production, possibly leading to interindividual differences in periodontitis risk.

D007963	Leukocytes, Mononuclear	Mature LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES transported by the blood to the body's extravascular space. They are morphologically distinguishable from mature granulocytic leukocytes by their large, non-lobed nuclei and lack of coarse, heavily stained cytoplasmic granules.

D010518	Periodontitis	Inflammation and loss of connective tissues supporting or surrounding the teeth. This may involve any part of the PERIODONTIUM. Periodontitis is currently classified by disease progression (CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS; AGGRESSIVE PERIODONTITIS) instead of age of onset.
