Abstract：AIM:To observe Piezo protein expression in periodontal tissues.METHODS:Piezo expression in periodontal tissues of rats was detected by indirect immunofluorescence technique.RESULTS:Positive staining of Piezo1 and Piezo2 was observed in periodontal fibroblasts of rats while the expression of Piezo2 was obviously lower than that of Piezo1 (P<0.05).Piezos were mainly expressed in periodontal ligament fibroblasts,but no positive staining was found in osteocytes.Piezos’expression in the plasma membrane of periodontal ligament fibroblasts was higher than that in the cytoplasm.CONCLUSION:There is a rich expression of Piezos ion channel in periodontal ligament.Pi-ezos play a role in perceptive function of periodontal ligament.
