This study investigated the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) on upper molar intrusion movement, regarding acceleration of orthodontic movement and its molecular effects. The sample consisted of 30 patients with indication of tooth intrusion for oral rehabilitation. Teeth were divided into three different groups: G1 (n = 10) pre‐molars without force or laser application (control); G2 (n = 10) upper molar intrusion; and G3 (n = 10) upper molar intrusion and PBM. On PBM treated molars, the teeth were irradiated with a low‐power diode laser (808 nm, 100 mW), receiving 1 J per point, density of 25 J/cm2, with application of 10 s per point, 10 points (5 per vestibular and 5 per palatal region). Orthodontic force of intrusion applied every 30 days and PBM was performed immediately, 3 and 7 days after force application for 3 months. Gingival crevicular fluid was collected at the same time periods as the laser applications and interleukins (IL) 1‐β, ‐6 and ‐8 were evaluated by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay. Clinical measures were performed monthly to verify the amount of intrusion. The levels of IL‐6, IL‐8 and IL‐1β increased under orthodontic force (G2 and G3) when compared to control group (G1), however, the cytokines levels were significantly higher after PBM (G3). The mean intrusion velocity was 0.26 mm/month in the irradiated group (G3), average duration of 8 months vs 0.17 mm/month for the non‐irradiated group (G2), average duration of 12 months. This study suggests that PBM accelerates tooth movement during molar intrusion, due to modulation of IL‐6, IL‐8 and IL‐1β during bone remodeling. 相似文献

It is recognized that IL‐18 is related to development of asthma, but role of IL‐18 in asthma remains controversial and confusing. This is largely due to lack of information on expression of IL‐18 binding protein (BP) and IL‐18 receptor (R) in asthma. In this study, we found that plasma levels of IL‐18 and IL‐18BP were elevated in asthma. The ratio between plasma concentrations of IL‐18 and IL‐18BP was 1:12.8 in asthma patients. We demonstrated that 13‐fold more monocytes, 17.5‐fold more neutrophils and 4.1‐fold more B cells express IL‐18BP than IL‐18 in asthmatic blood, suggesting that there is excessive amount of IL‐18BP to abolish actions of IL‐18 in asthma. We also discovered that more IL‐18R+ monocytes, neutrophils and B cells are located in asthmatic blood. Once injected, IL‐18 eliminated IL‐18R+ monocytes in blood, but up‐regulated expression of IL‐18R in lung macrophages of OVA‐sensitized mice. Our data clearly indicate that the role of IL‐18 in asthma is very likely to be determined by balance of IL‐18/IL‐18BP/IL‐18R expression in inflammatory cells. Therefore, IL‐18R blocking or IL‐18BP activity enhancing therapies may be useful for treatment of asthma. 相似文献

Primary osteoarthritis (OA) is associated with aging, while post‐traumatic OA (PTOA) is associated with mechanical injury and inflammation. It is not clear whether the two types of osteoarthritis share common mechanisms. We found that miR‐146a, a microRNA‐associated with inflammation, is activated by cyclic load in the physiological range but suppressed by mechanical overload in human articular chondrocytes. Furthermore, miR‐146a expression is decreased in the OA lesions of human articular cartilage. To understand the role of miR‐146a in osteoarthritis, we systemically characterized mice in which miR‐146a is either deficient in whole body or overexpressed in chondrogenic cells specifically. miR‐146a‐deficient mice develop early onset of OA characterized by cartilage degeneration, synovitis, and osteophytes. Conversely, miR‐146a chondrogenic overexpressing mice are resistant to aging‐associated OA. Loss of miR‐146a exacerbates articular cartilage degeneration during PTOA, while chondrogenic overexpression of miR‐146a inhibits PTOA. Thus, miR‐146a inhibits both OA and PTOA in mice, suggesting a common protective mechanism initiated by miR‐146a. miR‐146a suppresses IL‐1β of catabolic factors, and we provide evidence that miR‐146a directly inhibits Notch1 expression. Therefore, such inhibition of Notch1 may explain suppression of inflammatory mediators by miR‐146a. Chondrogenic overexpression of miR‐146a or intra‐articular administration of a Notch1 inhibitor alleviates IL‐1β‐induced catabolism and rescues joint degeneration in miR‐146a‐deficient mice, suggesting that miR‐146a is sufficient to protect OA pathogenesis by inhibiting Notch signaling in the joint. Thus, miR‐146a may be used to counter both aging‐associated OA and mechanical injury‐/inflammation‐induced PTOA. 相似文献

Cells have various receptors on their surface for responding to extracellular signals that involve intercellular communication. Although the mechanism of signal transduction by such wild‐type receptors has been studied intensively, there has been minimal effort in investigating whether such receptors could signal when unnaturally coupled. In this study, we investigated whether unnatural receptor pairs comprising interleukin‐2 (IL‐2) and interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) receptor subunits could transduce a signal through forced dimerization. We replaced the extracellular domain of IL‐2R and IL‐6R signaling subunits (IL‐2Rβ, IL‐2Rγ, and gp130) with the FK506‐binding protein (FKBP) or the FKBP12‐rapamycin binding (FRB) domain, the protein pair known to be heterodimerized by rapamycin. When expressed in a hematopoietic cell line, unnatural heterodimers (IL‐2Rβ‐gp130 and IL‐2Rγ‐gp130 pairs) successfully transduced a signal. While the IL‐2Rγ‐gp130 pair maximally mimicked gp130 signaling, the IL‐2Rβ‐gp130 pair gave weaker gp130 signaling and no significant induction of IL‐2Rβ signaling, indicating a high potential of the IL‐2Rγ chain in terms of activating the coupled partners. This is the first report demonstrating that heterodimeric combinations of IL‐2R and IL‐6R subunits are functional for signaling. Further extension of this approach may attain a creative design of artificial receptor pairs that have distinct signaling properties when compared with natural receptors. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Obesity is characterized by chronic low‐grade inflammation originating from expanding adipose tissue. In the present study, we examined the adipogenic expression levels of IL‐1F6 and IL‐1F8, both members of the IL‐1 family of cytokines, and their effects on adipose tissue gene expression. Although IL‐1F6 is primarily present in adipose tissue resident macrophages and induced by inflammation, IL‐1F8 is absent. IL‐1F6, but not IL‐1F8, reduces adipocyte differentiation, as shown by a significant decrease in PPARγ gene expression. Finally, both IL‐1F6 and IL‐1F8 are able to induce inflammatory gene expression in mature adipocytes. In conclusion, we demonstrate for the first time that IL‐1F6 is present in adipose tissue and that IL‐1F6 and IL‐1F8 are involved in the regulation of adipose tissue gene expression. Importantly, IL‐1F6 inhibits PPARγ expression which may lead to reduced adipocyte differentiation suggesting metabolic effects of this cytokine. 相似文献

Objective:
Interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) has recently been implicated as a major cytokine that is involved in the pancreatic islet inflammation of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This inflammation impairs insulin secretion by inducing beta‐cell apoptosis. Recent evidence has suggested that in obesity‐induced inflammation, IL‐1β plays a key role in causing insulin resistance in peripheral tissues.Design and Methods:
To further investigate the pathophysiological role of IL‐1β in causing insulin resistance, the inhibitory effects of IL‐1β on several insulin‐dependent metabolic processes in vitro has been neutralized by XOMA 052. The role IL‐1β plays in insulin resistance in adipose tissue was assessed using differentiated 3T3‐L1 adipocytes and several parameters involved in insulin signaling and lipid metabolism were examined.Results and Conclusion:
IL‐1β inhibited insulin‐induced activation of Akt phosphorylation, glucose transport, and fatty acid uptake. IL‐1β also blocked insulin‐mediated downregulation of suppressor of cytokine signaling‐3 expression. Co‐preincubation of IL‐1β with XOMA 052 neutralized nearly all of these inhibitory effects in 3T3‐L1 adipocytes. These studies provide evidence, therefore, that IL‐1β is a key proinflammatory cytokine that is involved in inducing insulin resistance. These studies also suggest that the monoclonal antibody XOMA 052 may be a possible therapeutic to effectively neutralize cytokine‐mediated insulin resistance in adipose tissue. 相似文献13.

Inflammation is a complex process involving cytokine production to regulate host defense cascades. In contrast to the therapeutic significance of acute inflammation, a pathogenic impact of chronic inflammation on cancer development has been proposed. Upregulation of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL‐1β and IL‐8, has been noted in prostate cancer patients and IL‐8 has been shown to promote prostate cancer cell proliferation and migration; however, it is not clear whether IL‐1β regulates IL‐8 expression in prostate cancer cells. Glucosamine is widely regarded as an anti‐inflammatory agent and thus we hypothesized that if IL‐1β activated IL‐8 production in prostate cancer cells, then glucosamine ought to blunt such an effect. Three prostate cancer cell lines, DU‐145, PC‐3, and LNCaP, were used to evaluate the effects of IL‐1β and glucosamine on IL‐8 expression using ELISA and RT‐PCR analyses. IL‐1β elevated IL‐8 mRNA expression and subsequent IL‐8 secretion. Glucosamine significantly inhibited IL‐1β‐induced IL‐8 secretion. IL‐8 appeared to induce LNCaP cell proliferation by MTT assay; involvement of IL‐8 in IL‐1β‐dependent PC‐3 cell migration was demonstrated by wound‐healing and transwell migration assays. Inhibitors of MAPKs and NFκB were used to pinpoint MAPKs but not NFκB being involved in IL‐1β‐mediated IL‐8 production. IL‐1β‐provoked phosphorylation of all MAPKs was notably suppressed by glucosamine. We suggest that IL‐1β can activate the MAPK pathways resulting in an induction of IL‐8 production, which promotes prostate cancer cell proliferation and migration. In this context, glucosamine appears to inhibit IL‐1β‐mediated activation of MAPKs and therefore reduces IL‐8 production; this, in turn, attenuates cell proliferation/migration. J. Cell.

We previously reported that mechanical vibration‐induced proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) and IL‐8, expression in human periodontal ligament (hPDL) cells, however, the underlying mechanism remained unclear. Mechanical stimuli are able to activate cellular responses by inducing the activation of several signaling pathways including cytoskeletal changes and inflammation. The actin cytoskeleton is a highly dynamic network and plays many important roles in intracellular events. Here, we aimed to investigate the involvement of a pivotal mediator of inflammatory responses, nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB), and actin polymerization in vibration‐induced upregulation of IL‐6 and IL‐8 expression in hPDL cells. hPDL cells were pretreated with the NF‐κB inhibitor BAY 11‐7082 or cytochalasin D, respectively, before exposure to vibration. IL‐6 and IL‐8 messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein expression were quantified by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays, respectively. Subcellular localization of the NF‐κB p65 subunit was visualized by immunofluorescent staining. We found an increase in NF‐κB nuclear translocation in vibrated cells compared with control cells. Pretreatment with BAY 11‐7082 significantly inhibited vibration‐induced IL‐6 and IL‐8 mRNA and protein expression in hPDL cells. Moreover, pretreatment with cytochalasin D inhibited NF‐κB nuclear translocation and attenuated upregulation of IL‐6 and IL‐8 mRNA and protein in vibrated cells. Therefore, modulation of actin cytoskeletal polymerization in response to vibration may activate the NF‐κB signaling pathway and subsequently upregulate IL‐6 and IL‐8 expression in hPDL cells. 相似文献

To avoid high systemic doses, strategies involving antigen‐specific delivery of cytokine via linked antibodies or antibody fragments have been used. Targeting cancer‐associated peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules (pepMHC) increases the number of potential target antigens and takes advantage of cross‐presentation on tumor stroma and in draining lymph nodes. Here, we use a soluble, high‐affinity single‐chain T cell receptor Vα‐Vβ (scTv), to deliver cytokines to intracellular tumor‐associated antigens presented as pepMHC. As typical wild‐type T cell receptors (TCRs) exhibit low affinity (Kd = 1–100 μM or more), we used an engineered TCR, m33, that binds its antigenic peptide SIYRYYGL (SIY) bound to the murine class I major histocompatability complex protein H2‐Kb (SIY/Kb) with nanomolar affinity (Kd = 30 nM). We generated constructs consisting of m33 scTv fused to murine interleukin 2 (IL‐2), interleukin 15 (IL‐15), or IL‐15/IL‐15Rα (IL‐15 linked to IL‐15Rα sushi domain, called “superfusion”). The fusions were purified with good yields and bound specifically to SIY/Kb with high affinity. Proper cytokine folding and binding were confirmed, and the fusions were capable of stimulating proliferation of cytokine‐dependent cells, both when added directly and when presented in trans, bound to cells with the target pepMHC. The m33 superfusion was particularly potent and stable and represents a promising design for targeted antitumor immunomodulation. © 2012 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Dabry's sturgeon (Acipenser dabryanus) represents an ancient Actinopterygian lineage that are termed “living fossils”. Many diseases have been found in Dabry's sturgeon. In the present study, genes encoding interleukin (IL)‐16 and IL‐17D in Dabry's sturgeon were identified by RNA‐sequencing. Phylogenetic tree analysis suggested that they clustered together with the corresponding pro‐IL‐16 proteins and IL‐17D proteins from other fish. Sequence analysis revealed that IL‐17D protein was more conserved than pro‐IL‐16. Dabry's sturgeon pro‐IL‐16 contains four putative PDZ domains and do not include signal peptides, while IL‐17D only possesses signal peptides (1–25 aa). The expression patterns of IL‐16 and IL‐17D genes were investigated in Dabry's sturgeon to reveal their functions in disease. The expression level of IL‐16 showed no significant changes in embryos; however, the high expression level of IL‐17D at 0–14 hpf (hours post fertilization) implied the existence of maternal expression in the oocyte and an association with embryonic development. Tissue distribution analysis revealed that IL‐16 and IL‐17D proteins have potential functions in immune and non‐immune tissue compartments. IL‐16 and IL‐17D had different fold changes in primary spleen leukocytes after polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration, which suggested that IL‐16 has a stronger antiviral capability compared with its antibacterial response, and IL‐17D has a stronger antibacterial capability compared with its antiviral response. IL‐16 showed an earlier response to virus compared with IL‐17D, and IL‐17D showed earlier and shorter response to bacteria compared with IL‐16. Our findings suggested the roles of IL‐16 and IL‐17D in Dabry's sturgeon, and provided the theoretical basis for the prevention and control of diseases of Dabry's sturgeon. 相似文献

Engineered combinatorial libraries derived from small protein scaffolds represent a powerful tool for generating novel binders with high affinity, required specificity and designed inhibitory function. This work was aimed to generate a collection of recombinant binders of human interleukin‐23 receptor (IL‐23R), which is a key element of proinflammatory IL‐23‐mediated signaling. A library of variants derived from the three‐helix bundle scaffold of the albumin‐binding domain (ABD) of streptococcal protein G and ribosome display were used to select for high‐affinity binders of recombinant extracellular IL‐23R. A collection of 34 IL‐23R‐binding proteins (called REX binders), corresponding to 18 different sequence variants, was used to identify a group of ligands that inhibited binding of the recombinant p19 subunit of IL‐23, or the biologically active human IL‐23 cytokine, to the recombinant IL‐23R or soluble IL‐23R‐IgG chimera. The strongest competitors for IL‐23R binding in ELISA were confirmed to recognize human IL‐23R‐IgG in surface plasmon resonance experiments, estimating the binding affinity in the sub‐ to nanomolar range. We further demonstrated that several REX variants bind to human leukemic cell lines K‐562, THP‐1 and Jurkat, and this binding correlated with IL‐23R cell‐surface expression. The REX125, REX009 and REX128 variants competed with the p19 protein for binding to THP‐1 cells. Moreover, the presence of REX125, REX009 and REX115 variants significantly inhibited the IL‐23‐driven expansion of IL‐17‐producing primary human CD4+ T‐cells. Thus, we conclude that unique IL‐23R antagonists derived from the ABD scaffold were generated that might be useful in designing novel anti‐inflammatory biologicals.

Interleukin 1 (IL‐1) is a proinflammatory cytokine upregulated in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and periodontal disease. Both isoforms, IL‐1α and IL‐1β, have been shown to activate osteoclasts (OCs), the cells responsible for resorbing bone. Inflammatory conditions are also characterized by increased bone loss and by the presence of large OCs (10+ nuclei). We and others have previously shown that large OCs are more likely to be resorbing compared to small OCs (2–5 nuclei). Moreover, large OCs express higher levels of the IL‐1 activating receptor IL‐1RI, integrins αv and β3, RANK, and TNFR1, while small OCs have higher levels of the decoy receptor IL‐1RII. We hypothesized that IL‐1 would have different effects on large and small OCs due to these distinct receptor expression patterns. To test this hypothesis, RAW 264.7 cells were differentiated into populations of small and large OCs and treated with IL‐1α or IL‐1β (1 and 10 ng/ml). In the presence of sRANKL, both IL‐1α and IL‐1β increased total OC number and resorptive activity of large OCs. IL‐1α stimulated formation of large OCs and increased the number of resorption pits, while IL‐1β changed the morphology of large OCs and integrin‐β3 phosphorylation. No effects were seen in small OCs in response to either IL‐1 isoform. These results demonstrate that IL‐1 predominantly affects large OCs. The dissimilarity of responses to IL‐1α and IL‐1β suggests that these isoforms activate different signaling pathways within the two OC populations. J. Cell.
