    Gingival epithelial cells (GECs) are physical and immunological barriers against outward pathogens while coping with a plethora of non-pathogenic commensal bacteria. GECs express several members of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and control subsequent innate immune responses. TLR4 senses lipopolysaccharide (LPS) while TLR7/8 recognizes single-strand RNA (ssRNA) playing important roles against viral infection. However, their distinct roles in GECs have not been fully demonstrated. Here, we analyzed biological responses of GECs to LPS and CL075, a TLR7/8 agonist. GE1, a mouse gingival epithelial cell line, constitutively express TLR4 and TLR7, but not TLR8, like primary skin keratinocytes. Stimulation of GE1 cells with CL075 induced cytokine, chemokine, and antimicrobial peptide expressions, the pattern of which is rather different from that with LPS: higher mRNA levels of interferon (IFN) β, CXCL10, and β-defensin (BD) 14 (mouse homolog of human BD3); lower levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), CCL5, CCL11, CCL20, CXCL2, and CX3CL1. As for the intracellular signal transduction of GE1 cells, CL075 rapidly induced significant AKT phosphorylation but failed to activate IKKα/β-NFκB pathway, whereas LPS induced marked IKKα/β-NFκB activation without significant AKT phosphorylation. In contrast, both CL075 and LPS induced rapid IKKα/β-NFκB activation and AKT phosphorylation in a macrophage cell line. Furthermore, specific inhibition of AKT activity abrogated CL075-induced IFNβ, CXCL10, and BD14 mRNA expression in GE1 cells. Thus, TLR4/7 ligands appear to induce rather different host-defense responses of GECs through distinct intracellular signaling mechanisms.

    Abstract

    Bone morphogenic protein 9 (BMP9) is one of the most potent inducers of osteogenic differentiation among the 14 BMP members, but its mechanism of action has not been fully demonstrated. Hes1 is a transcriptional regulator with basic helix‐loop‐helix (bHLH) domain and is a well‐known Notch effector. In this study, we investigated the functional roles of early induction of Hes1 by BMP9 in a mouse mesenchymal stem cell line, ST2. Hes1 mRNA was transiently and periodically induced by BMP9 in ST2, which was inhibited by BMP signal inhibitors but not by Notch inhibitor. Interestingly, Hes1 knockdown in ST2 by siRNA increased the expression of osteogenic differentiation markers such as Sp7 and Ibsp and matrix mineralization in comparison with control siRNA transfected ST2. In contrast, forced expression of Hes1 by using the Tet‐On system suppressed the expression of osteogenic markers and matrix mineralization by BMP9. We also found that the early induction of Hes1 by BMP9 suppressed the expression of Alk1, an essential receptor for BMP9. In conclusion, BMP9 rapidly induces the expression of Hes1 via the SMAD pathway in ST2 cells, which plays a negative regulatory role in osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells induced by BMP9.

    重症急性呼吸器症候群コロナウイルス2(SARS-CoV-2)のプライミングの原因となるtransmembrane serine protease 2(TMPRSS2)は歯肉の角化細胞で発現している。本研究では歯周炎によってTMPRSS2発現が増加するか調査した。Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)データベースから、歯槽骨欠損の患者90名に由来する歯肉組織検体247件のデータセットを取得し解析した。実験的誘発歯周炎マウスモデルでの実験を行った。それらの解析と実験の結果、歯周炎を発症した歯肉ではTMPRSS2遺伝子の発現が増加した。歯周炎罹患・非罹患の被験者に由来する歯周組織を免疫組織化学に供したところ、歯周炎歯肉の角化細胞の細胞膜にTMPRSS2の強反応がみられた。ChIP-AtlasデータセットとGEOデータセットを利用し、TMPRSS2遺伝子のプロモーター領域に結合する転写因子を検索した結果、歯周炎歯肉で高発現しているエストロゲン受容体1(ESR1)が唯一の候補として同定され、歯肉組織におけるESR1発現とTMPRSS2発現は相関していることが示された。培養角化細胞ではESR1リガンドによりTMPRSS2発現が誘導された。以上から、歯肉角化細胞の細胞膜におけるTMPRSS2発現は歯周炎によって増加すると結論された。

    OBJECTIVES: The oral cavity is one of the main entry sites for SARS-CoV-2. Gingival keratinocytes express transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2), responsible for priming the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. We investigated whether periodontitis increased the expression of TMPRSS2. METHODS: To investigate gene expression in periodontitis, we analyzed the expression of specific genes from (1) the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset of 247 human gingival tissues and (2) an experimentally-induced periodontitis mouse model. Human gingival tissues with or without periodontitis were immunohistochemically stained using an anti-TMPRSS2 antibody. Analysis of the TMPRSS2 promoter was performed using a ChIP-Atlas dataset. TMPRSS2 expression was detected in cultured human keratinocytes using quantitative reverse transcription (qRT)-PCR and Western blot analysis. RESULTS: GEO dataset analysis and an experimentally-induced periodontitis model revealed increased expression of TMPRSS2 in periodontitis gingiva. The keratinocyte cell membrane in periodontitis gingiva was strongly immunohistochemically stained for TMPRSS2. Using ChIP-Atlas and GEO datasets, we screened for transcription factors that bind to the TMPRSS2 promoter region. We found one candidate, estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1), highly expressed in periodontitis gingiva. Analysis of the GEO dataset revealed a correlation between ESR1 and TMPRSS2 expression in gingival tissues. An ESR1 ligand induced TMPRSS2 expression in cultured keratinocytes. CONCLUSIONS: Periodontitis increases TMPRSS2 expression in the cell membrane of gingival keratinocytes.

    Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are essential regulators of skeletal homeostasis, and BMP9 is the most potently osteogenic among them. Here, we found that BMP9 and BMP2 rapidly induced early growth response 1 (EGR1) protein expression in osteoblasts through MEK/ERK pathway-dependent transcriptional activation. Knock-down of EGR1 using siRNA significantly inhibited BMP9-induced matrix mineralization and osteogenic marker gene expression in osteoblasts. Knock-down of EGR1 significantly reduced SMAD1/5 phosphorylation and inhibited the expression of their transcriptional targets in osteoblasts stimulated by BMP9. In contrast, forced EGR1 overexpression in osteoblasts enhanced BMP9-mediated osteoblast differentiation and SMAD1/5 phosphorylation. An intracellular association between EGR1 and SMAD1/5 was identified using immunoprecipitation assays. These results indicated that EGR1 plays an important role in BMP9-stimulated osteoblast differentiation by enhancing SMAD1/5 phosphorylation.

    Bone homeostasis is regulated by bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs), among which BMP9 is one of the most osteogenic. Here, we have found that BMP9 rapidly increases the protein expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in osteoblasts under normoxic conditions more efficiently than BMP2 or BMP4. A combination of BMP9 and hypoxia further increased HIF-1α protein expression. HIF-1α protein induction by BMP9 is not accompanied by messenger RNA (mRNA) increase and is inhibited by the activation of prolyl hydroxylase domain (PHD)-containing protein, indicating that BMP9 induces HIF-1α protein expression by inhibiting PHD-mediated protein degradation. BMP9-induced HIF-1α protein increase was abrogated by inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and protein kinase B (AKT) kinase, indicating that it is mediated by PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. BMP9 increased mRNA expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1), a glycolytic enzyme, and vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), an angiogenic factor, in osteoblasts. Notably, BMP9-induced mRNA expression of PDK1, but not that of VEGF-A, was significantly inhibited by small interference RNA-mediated knockdown of Hif-1α. BMP9-induced matrix mineralization and osteogenic marker gene expressions were significantly inhibited by chemical inhibition and gene knockdown of either Hif-1α or Pdk-1, respectively. Since increased glycolysis is an essential feature of differentiated osteoblasts, our findings indicate that HIF-1α expression is important in BMP9-mediated osteoblast differentiation through the induction of PDK1.

    Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 9 is one of the most osteogenic BMPs, but its mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated. Hes1, a transcriptional regulator with a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain, is a well-known effector of Notch signaling. Here, we find that BMP9 induces periodic increases of Hes1 mRNA and protein expression in osteoblasts, presumably through an autocrine negative feedback mechanism. BMP9-mediated Hes1 induction is significantly inhibited by an ALK inhibitor and overexpression of Smad7, an inhibitory Smad. Luciferase and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays revealed that two Smad binding sites in the 5' upstream region of the mouse Hes1 gene are essential for transcriptional activation by BMP9. Thus, our data indicate that BMP9 induces Hes1 expression in osteoblasts via the Smad signaling pathway.

    Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)9 has been reported to be the most potent BMP to induce bone formation. However, the details of BMP9-transduced intracellular signaling remain ambiguous. Here, we have investigated signal transduction mechanisms of BMP9 in comparison to BMP2, another potent inducer of bone formation, in osteoblasts. In a mouse osteoblast cell line, BMP9 induced higher mRNA levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) than BMP2 within 2 h. Unlike BMP2, BMP9 induced rapid phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase 3-β (GSK3-β) and protein kinase B (Akt) and increased the cellular protein content of β-catenin. BMP9 moderately increased mRNA levels of several canonical Wingless-related integration site to lower degrees than BMP2. Furthermore, BMP9-induced GSK3-β phosphorylation was not inhibited by pretreatment with actinomycin D, cycloheximide, or Brefeldin A, indicating it is independent of Wnt protein secretion. BMP9-induced GSK3-β phosphorylation was abrogated by Akt or class I PI3K-specific inhibitors. Moreover, inactivation of GSK3-β by LiCl did not further promote ALP and Runx2 mRNA induction by BMP9 as significantly as that by BMP2. Notably, BMP9-induced GSK3-β phosphorylation was inhibited by small interfering RNA against endoglin and GIPC PDZ domain-containing family, member 1. Taken together, our present findings have indicated that BMP9 directly activates GSK3β-β-catenin signaling pathway through class I PI3K-Akt Axis in osteoblasts, which may be essential for the potent osteoinductive activity of BMP9.-Eiraku, N., Chiba, N., Nakamura, T., Amir, M.

    OBJECTIVE: Kawasaki disease (KD) is the leading cause of acquired heart disease among children in developed countries. Coronary lesions in KD in humans are characterized by an increased presence of infiltrating CD3+ T cells; however, the specific contributions of the different T cell subpopulations in coronary arteritis development remain unknown. Therefore, we sought to investigate the function of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, Treg cells, and natural killer (NK) T cells in the pathogenesis of KD. METHODS: We addressed the function of T cell subsets in KD development by using a well-established murine model of Lactobacillus casei cell wall extract (LCWE)-induced KD vasculitis. We determined which T cell subsets were required for development of KD vasculitis by using several knockout murine strains and depleting monoclonal antibodies. RESULTS: LCWE-injected mice developed coronary lesions characterized by the presence of inflammatory cell infiltrates. Frequently, this chronic inflammation resulted in complete occlusion of the coronary arteries due to luminal myofibroblast proliferation (LMP) as well as the development of coronary arteritis and aortitis. We found that CD8+ T cells, but not CD4+ T cells, NK T cells, or Treg cells, were required for development of KD vasculitis. CONCLUSION: The LCWE-induced murine model of KD vasculitis mimics many histologic features of the disease in humans, such as the presence of CD8+ T cells and LMP in coronary artery lesions as well as epicardial coronary arteritis. Moreover, CD8+ T cells functionally contribute to the development of KD vasculitis in this murine model. Therapeutic strategies targeting infiltrating CD8+ T cells might be useful in the management of KD in humans.

    本年度の研究では、C57BL/6（WT）とDUPS16 KO（KO）のマウスを用いて、マウスアレルギーモデルの作製、また、マスト細胞株などを用いて、マスト細胞への各種刺激におけるDUPS16遺伝子発現量とタンパク質量の変化について解析を行った。
    まず、HDM（ハウスダストマイト）による感作マウスモデルの作製を開始した。HDMの経気道感作によるアレルギーモデル作製について各種プロトコールを試しているが、当講座におけるモデル確立に時間がかかりそうであったので、卵白アルブミン（OVA）を抗原としAlumアジュバントとの混合物を使用したアレルギーモデルを同時進行で使用することとした。また、マスト細胞内シグナル伝達におけるDUSP16の役割については、マウスマスト細胞の細胞株であるMC/9、またマウス骨髄から得られたBMMCｓ（Bone marrow-derived mast cells）を用いて解析を行っている。MC/9をIgEクロスリンク刺激またはLPSで刺激するとDUSP16の遺伝子発現が誘導されたが、その発現レベルには有意な差がみられた。このことはマスト細胞内でDUSP16が関わるシグナル伝達に特異性があることを示唆している。興味深いことに、WT由来BMMCｓとKO由来BMMCｓでは分化培地による長期培養において、その増殖に違いがみられた。このことはDUSP16がマスト細胞の増殖ないしは分化において重要な役割を果たしている可能性を示唆していると思われる。
    以上のことから、DUSP16の役割が明らかにされれば、マスト細胞が関わる反応や疾患に対して、より根本的な治療に利用出来る可能性を示唆していると思われる。
