OBJECTIVE: The removal of impacted third molars by surgery may occur with a series of complications, whereas limited information about the postoperative pathogenesis is available. The objective of this study is to identify changes in gene expression after flap surgical removal of impacted third molars and provide potential information to reduce postoperative complications.

METHODS: The gingival tissues of twenty patients with flap surgical removal of impacted third molars and twenty healthy volunteers were collected for gene expression testing. The collected gingival tissues were used RNA sequencing technology and quantitative real-time PCR validation was performed. DEG was mapped to protein databases such as GO and KEGG for functional annotation and, based on annotation information, for mining of differential expression genes in patients with mpacted third molars.

RESULTS: A total of 555 genes were differentially expressed. Among the top up-regulated genes, HLA-DRB4, CCL20, and CXCL8 were strongly associated with immune response and signal transduction. Among the top down-regulated genes, SPRR2B, CLDN17, LCE3D and LCE3E were related to keratinocyte differentiation, IFITM5, and BGLAP were related to bone mineralization, UGT2B17 is associated with susceptibility to osteoporosis. KEGG results showed that the DEGs were related to multiple disease-related pathways.

CONCLUSION: This first transcriptome analysis of gingival tissues from patients with surgical removal of impacted third molars provides new insights into postoperative genetic changes. The results may establish a basis for future research on minimizing the incidence of complications after flap-treated third molars.
