タイトル Dectin-1/SYK Activation Induces Antimicrobial Peptide and Negative Regulator of NF-κB Signaling in Human Oral Epithelial Cells.
ジャーナル In Vivo
Abstract BACKGROUND/AIM:Oral epithelial cells serve as the primary defense against microbial exposure in the oral cavity, including the fungus Candida albicans. Dectin-1 is crucial for recognition of β-glucan in fungi. However, expression and function of Dectin-1 in oral epithelial cells remain unclear.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:We assessed Dectin-1 expression in Ca9-22 (gingiva), HSC-2 (mouth), HSC-3 (tongue), and HSC-4 (tongue) human oral epithelial cells using flow cytometry and real-time polymerase chain reaction. Cell treated with β-glucan-rich zymosan were evaluated using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Phosphorylation of spleen-associated tyrosine kinase (SYK) was analyzed by western blotting.
RESULTS:Dectin-1 was expressed in all four cell types, with high expression in Ca9-22 and HSC-2. In Ca9-22 cells, exposure to β-glucan-rich zymosan did not alter the mRNA expression of chemokines nor of interleukin (IL)6, IL8, IL1β, IL17A, and IL17F. Zymosan induced the expression of antimicrobial peptides β-defensin-1 and LL-37, but not S100 calcium-binding protein A8 (S100A8) and S100A9. Furthermore, the expression of cylindromatosis (CYLD), a negative regulator of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling, was induced. In HSC-2 cells, zymosan induced the expression of IL17A. The expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3), a negative regulator of NF-κB signaling, was also induced. Expression of other cytokines and antimicrobial peptides remained unchanged. Zymosan induced phosphorylation of SYK in Ca9-22 cells, as well as NF-κB.
CONCLUSION:Oral epithelial cells express Dectin-1 and recognize β-glucan, which activates SYK and induces the expression of antimicrobial peptides and negative regulators of NF-κB, potentially maintaining oral homeostasis.
