Özet

Background: Cyclosporin A (CsA) is an immunosuppressant widely used to treat transplant patients and various systemic diseases with immunological components. Gingival overgrowth (GO) is a common side effect of CsA administration; however, the pathogenesis of drug-induced GO is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of Ki-67, activation molecules (CD71, CD98), leukocytes activation antigens (CD45, CD45RA, CD50, CD11a, CD162, CD227, CD231), neurothelin (CD147), and novel endothelial cell antigens (B-F45, SCF87, B-D46, B-C44, VJ1/6) in gingival tissue in renal transplant recipients treated with CsA.
