Project description:Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is involved in several inflammatory conditions including periodontitis. The aim of this study was to investigate the global gene expression profile of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) stimulated human gingival fibroblasts, focusing on signal pathways related to PGE2 production and the new PGE2-synthesizing enzymes, prostaglandin E synthases (PGES). The expression of microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) as well as the upstream cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) was up-regulated by TNFalpha, accompanied by increased PGE2 production. In contrast, the expression of microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-2 (mPGES-2) and cytosolic prostaglandin E synthase (cPGES) was unaffected by TNFalpha. Using microarray analysis in a time-course factorial design including time points 1, 3 and 6 h, we identified differentially expressed genes in response to TNFalpha treatment. Enrichment analysis of microarray data identified two positively regulated signal transduction pathways: c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and Nuclear Factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB). We used specific inhibitors and phosphorylation analysis to confirm their role in PGE2 regulation. Both JNK and NF-kappaB inhibitors reduced the TNFalpha-stimulated up-regulation of mPGES-1 and COX-2 as well as subsequent PGE2 production. The novel finding that TNFalpha-stimulated mPGES-1 is regulated by JNK suggests this kinase as a potential future target for treatment strategies in inflammatory disorders, including periodontitis. Keywords: Time course, gene expression, factorial design.

Keywords: Time course, gene expression, factorial design. Three human gingival fibroblast cell lines were established from gingival biopsies obtained from 3 healthy patients, 3 to 12 years of age, with no clinical signs of periodontal disease. Cells were incubated with or without TNF-alpha (20 ng/ml) for 1, 3 or 6h. After incubation for 1, 3 or 6 h in the two conditions, the cells were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and then stored at -70°C for subsequent isolation of total RNA. The experimental design of the microarray study was set up as a time-course factorial design, to best observe the TNF-alpha induced gene expression changes over time. C++ program (G.F. Glonek, P.J. Solomon, Factorial and time course designs for cDNA microarray experiments, Biostatistics 5 (2004) 89-111) was used to determine the exact layout of the design in order to estimate the interaction effect between treatment and time, i.e. genes that are differentially expressed over time, with optimal statistical efficiency. Cyanine 5 and cyanine 3 were used for labeling. For each cell line 12 hybridizations were performed in a time-course factorial design. In total, 36 hybridizations were performed.

Project description:PGE2 is a major mediator of inflammation and is present at high concentrations in the synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. PGE2, acting through the EP4 receptor, has both pro- and anti-inflammatory roles in vivo. To shed light on this dual role of PGE2, we investigated its effects in whole blood and in primary human fibroblast-like synoviocytes. Gene expression analysis in human leukocytes, confirmed at the protein level, revealed an EP4-dependent inhibition of the expression of genes involved in the IFN-gamma activation pathway, including IFN-gamma itself. This effect of the PGE2/EP4 axis on IFN-gamma is a reciprocal phenomenon since IFN-gamma blocks PGE2 release and blocks EP receptor expression. The mutually antagonistic relationship between IFN-gamma and PGE2 extends to downstream cytokine- and chemokine-release; PGE2 counters the effects of IFN-gamma, on the release of IP-10, IL-8, TNFalpha and IL-1beta. To gain further insight into IFN-gamma-mediated cellular events in rheumatoid arthritis, we assessed the effects of IFN-gamma on gene expression in fibroblast-like synoviocytes. We observed an IFN-gamma-dependent up-regulation of macrophage-attracting chemokines, and down-regulation of metalloprotease expression. These results suggest the existence of a mutually antagonistic relationship between PGE2 and IFN-gamma which may represent a fundamental mechanism of immune control in diseases such as RA.

Project description:The Moutan Cortex Radicis (MCR) has been used as an analgesic, sedative and anti-inflammatory agent. This study investigated the changes in gene expression by MCR treatment when stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in cultured human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and the gene expression changes by the MCR when challenged with LPS using a microarray chip.

Project description:Analysis of response to leptin and IL-1β in gingival fibroblasts at the gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that leptin and IL-1β synergistically effect the phenotype of gingival fibroblasts. Results provide important information regarding the response of gingival fibroblasts to leptin and IL-1β, such as specific inflammatory genes that were up- or down-regulated.

This study investigated the changes in gene expression by MCR treatment when stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in cultured human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and the gene expression changes by the MCR when challenged with LPS using a microarray chip. Human gingival fibroblast were divided into three experimental groups; 1, C: Control, 2, LPS: LPS-treatment only, 3, MCR40: LPS- and MCR40-treatments. Total RNA was isolated from each experimental fibroblast (3 experimental group M-CM-^W 1 sample of each experimental group = total 3 samples).

Project description:Fibroblasts are widely used cells for regenerative medicine in clinics, such as gingival or facial skin treatment. In fact, fibroblasts are considered as a mixture of various types of cells with "spindle shape" and there is no available clear marker. Gingival and dermal fibroblasts are similar in their morphology and function; however it is considered that the cultured cells retain their original characteristics depending on the origin, which may contribute to the differential therapeutic effects. For example, gingival wounds are known to heal relatively quickly with less scar formation compared with skin, which may imply their higher capability for regeneration as a therapeutic effect. The reason for this phenomenon may be partly due to characteristic differences between gingival and dermal fibroblasts including the expression of migration stimulating factor and matrix formation but these differences remain largely unknown. Recently, the characteristics of dermal fibroblasts have been reported to be different depending on body sites, such as face, trunk and plamoplantar skin. Although the expression of fibronectin and their splicing variants were known to be different between trunk and oral mucosal fibroblasts, there is still no detailed report on the functional differences between gingival and dermal fibroblasts. In this study, we investigated differential gene expression in normal gingival and dermal fibroblasts using DNA microarray to investigate the difference between the vague fibroblast-type cells from different tissue origin to achieve higher therapeutic effect in cell therapy.
