A Comparative Bioinformatics Analysis of the Transcriptomic Profiles of Peri-Implantitis and Periodontitis and Their Common Signaling Pathways with Atherosclerosis
> 0.05), which is consistent with the activation of TLR signaling. In periodontitis, a significant increase in M2 macrophages and a decrease in Th1 cells were observed. Comparison with atherosclerosis revealed 272 common DEGs with peri-implantitis and 173 common DEGs with periodontitis. Functional analysis of the common genes confirmed their role in leukocyte transendothelial migration, cytokine production, and the "Lipids and Atherosclerosis" pathway. (4) Conclusions: Functional analysis and immune deconvolution consistently demonstrate that peri-implantitis is characterized by statistically significant activation of both adaptive and innate immunity, whereas in periodontitis, the activation of innate immunity manifests primarily at the level of signaling pathways. The significant overlap found between the transcriptional profiles of both diseases and atherosclerosis may indicate the presence of common pathogenetic links.
