Periodontitis induces skeletal muscle atrophy by increasing circulating levels of activin A

ABSTRACT: Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease, has been linked to various systemic conditions, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and premature birth. However, its impact on skeletal muscle remains unclear. Here, we utilize a ligature-induced periodontitis (LIP) mouse model and show that periodontitis significantly reduces muscle and bone mass without affecting fat mass or food intake. Interestingly, activin A, a well-documented inducer of muscle atrophy, was highly expressed in periodontitis-affected gingiva, surpassing its expression in the liver, a primary activin A-expressing organ. The activin A gene (Inhba) was highly expressed, particularly in gingival fibroblasts and epithelial cells, which undergo significant proliferation as periodontitis progresses, as well as in myeloid cells infiltrating inflamed periodontal tissues and in myeloid cell-derived osteoclasts. A similar upregulation pattern of INHBA was also confirmed in periodontitis-affected human tissues by scRNA-seq analysis. Furthermore, we demonstrate that serum activin A levels significantly increased in periodontitis-affected mice, while the intra-gingival injection of siInhba significantly reduced activin A levels and restored muscle mass and myofiber size compared to the siCtrl injection. Our findings indicate that activin A is a key mediator of muscle atrophy in periodontitis and that local injection of siInhba can prevent periodontitis-induced muscle atrophy without causing systemic adverse effects.

Altered gene expressions of leukocyte transendothelial migration and cell communication pathways in periodontitis-affected gingival tissues

Project description:Gene expressions relate to the pathogenesis of periodontitis and have a crucial role in local tissue destruction and susceptibility to the disease. The aims of the present study were to explore comprehensive gene expressions/transcriptomes in periodontitis-affected gingival tissues, and to identify specific biological processes. The purpose of the present study was 1) to compare comprehensive gene expression/transcriptomes of periodontitis-affected gingival tissues with those of healthy tissues by using microarray and data mining technologies, and 2) to analyze significantly differentially expressed genes which belong to pathological pathways in periodontitis by qRT-PCR. Two distinct gingival samples including healthy and periodontal-affected gingiva were taken from 3 patients with severe chronic periodontitis. Total RNAs from 6 gingival tissue samples were used for microarray and data-mining analyses. Comparisons, gene ontology, and pathway frequency analyses were performed and identified significant biological pathways in periodontitis. Quantitative reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyse using 14 chronic periodontitis patients including 3 patients listed above and 14 healthy individuals showed 9 differentially expressed genes in leukocyte migration and cell communication pathways.

Gene expression profile at single cell level of syngeneic ovarian tumors from mice treated with inhibitory Activin-A antibody or control IgG

Project description:Effective targeting of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) is hindered by the lack of specific biomarkers and a poor understanding of the mechanisms by which different populations of CAFs contribute to cancer progression. While the role of TGFβ in CAFs is well-studied, less attention has been focused on a structurally and functionally similar protein, Activin A (encoded by INHBA), which is typically associated with poor survival and advanced stage in ovarian cancer. Here, we identified INHBA(+) CAFs as key players in tumor promotion and immune evasion. In syngeneic ovarian cancer mouse models, intraperitoneal injection of the Activin A neutralizing antibody attenuated tumor progression and infiltration with the host INHBA(+) CAFs and M2 macrophages. Collectively, our study identified an INHBA(+) subset of pro-tumoral CAFs as a potential therapeutic target in ovarian cancer.

Lipidomic analysis reveals altered lipid profiles of clinically healthy and periodontitis-affected gingival biopsies

Project description:AIM: The role of lipids in periodontitis has not been well studied. Thus, this study aimed to explore periodontitis-associated lipid profile changes and identify differentially expressed lipid metabolites in gingival tissues.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Gingival tissues from 38 patients with periodontitis (periodontitis group) and 38 periodontally healthy individuals (control group) were collected. A UHPLC-QTOF-MS-based non-targeted metabolomics platform was used to identify and compare the lipid profiles of the two groups. The distribution and expression of related proteins were subsequently analyzed via immunohistochemistry to further validate the identified lipids.RESULTS: Lipid profiles significantly differed between the two groups, and 20 differentially expressed lipid species were identified. Lysophosphatidylcholines (lysoPCs), diacylglycerols (DGs) and phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs) were significantly upregulated, while triacylglycerols (TGs) were downregulated in the periodontitis group. Moreover, the staining intensity of ABHD5/CGI-58, secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2), and sPLA2-IIA was significantly stronger in the gingival tissues of patients with periodontitis than in those of healthy controls.CONCLUSIONS: LysoPCs, DGs, and PEs were significantly upregulated, whereas TGs were downregulated in gingival tissues of patients with periodontitis. Correspondingly, the immunohistochemical staining of ABHD5/CGI-58, sPLA2 and sPLA2-IIA in gingival tissues was consistent with the downstream production of lipid classes (lysoPCs, TGs and DGs).

Targeting myostatin/activin A protects against skeletal muscle and bone loss during spaceflight

Project description:Among the physiological consequences of extended space flight are loss of skeletal muscle and bone mass. One signaling pathway that plays an important role in maintaining muscle and bone homeostasis is that regulated by the secreted signaling proteins, myostatin and activin A. Here, we used both pharmacological and genetic approaches to investigate the effect of targeting myostatin/activin A signaling in mice that were sent to the International Space Station. We show that inhibition of myostatin/activin A signaling has a significant protective effect against microgravity-induced muscle and bone loss. These findings have implications for therapeutic strategies to combat the concomitant muscle and bone loss occurring in people afflicted with disuse atrophy on Earth as well as in astronauts in space, especially during prolonged missions.

MicroRNAs and their target genes in gingival tissues.

Project description:To gain insights into the in vivo function of miRNAs in the context of periodontitis, we examined the occurrence of miRNAs in healthy and diseased gingival tissues and validated their in silico-predicted targets through mRNA profiling using whole-genome microarrays in the same specimens. Eighty-six individuals with periodontitis contributed 198 gingival papillae: 158 'diseased' (bleeding-on-probing, PD > 4 mm, and AL M-bM-^IM-% 3 mm) and 40 'healthy' (no bleeding, PD M-bM-^IM-$ 4 mm, and AL M-bM-^IM-$ 2 mm). Expression of 1,205 miRNAs was assessed by microarrays, followed by selected confirmation by quantitative RT-PCR. Predicted miRNA targets were identified and tested for enrichment by Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA). Enriched gene sets were grouped in functional categories by DAVID and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. One hundred fifty-nine miRNAs were significantly differentially expressed between healthy and diseased gingiva. Four miRNAs (hsa-miR-451, hsa-miR-223, hsa-miR-486-5p, hsa-miR-3917) were significantly overexpressed, and 7 (hsa-miR-1246, hsa-miR-1260, hsa-miR-141, hsa-miR-1260b, hsa-miR-203, hsa-miR-210, hsa-miR-205*) were underexpressed by > 2-fold in diseased vs. healthy gingiva. GSEA and additional filtering identified 60 enriched miRNA gene sets with target genes involved in immune/inflammatory responses and tissue homeostasis. This is the first study that concurrently examined miRNA and mRNA expression in gingival tissues and will inform mechanistic experimentation to dissect the role of miRNAs in periodontal tissue homeostasis and pathology. The dataset comprise 200 gingival tissue samples from 86 patients with periodontitis. All samples are included in this series, but 2 where not included in the study, as they did not pass our QC. Each patient has one or more healthy and disease sample and samples can be of chronic or aggressive periodontitis type.

Whole transcriptome RNAseq analysis of somatic cells in Inhba fetal testes

Project description:We performed RNA-seq on testicular somatic cells from fetal activin A-deficient mice (Inhba KO) and wildtype littermates at embryonic ages E13.5 and E15.5. Activin A deficiency predominantly affects the Sertoli cell transcriptome. New candidate targets include Minar1, Sel1l3, Vnn1, Sfrp4, Masp1, Nell1, Tthy1 and Prss12. Importantly, the testosterone (T) biosynthetic enzymes present in fetal Sertoli cells, Hsd17b1 and Hsd17b3, were identified as activin-responsive. Activin-deficient testes contained elevated androstenedione (A4), displayed an Inhba gene dose-dependent A4/T ratio, and contained 11-keto androgens.

Role of Activin A (ActA) in the Human Cancer Cachexia

Project description:The goal of the investigators study is to investigate the role of a hormone named Activin A (ActA) in the development of the skeletal muscle atrophy caused by cancer. According to the investigators hypothesis, ActA could be released by the tumor and activate a muscle atrophy gene program. To answer this question, the investigators plan first to compare circulating levels of ActA in cancer patients with and without cachexia. In a second step, the investigators would like to assess whether ActA circulating levels are predictive for the development of cachexia and short survival.
