In-vivo imaging revealed antigen-directed gingival B10 infiltration in experimental periodontitis.

ABSTRACT: Our previous study demonstrated that IL-10 secreting B (B10) cells alleviate inflammation and bone loss in experimental periodontitis. The purpose of this study is to determine whether antigen-specificity is required for the local infiltration of B10 cells. Experimental periodontitis was induced in the recipient mice by placement of silk ligature with or without the presence of live Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis). Donor mice were pre-immunized by intraperitoneal (IP) injection of formalin-fixed P. gingivalis, or PBS as non-immunized control. Spleen B cells were purified and treated with LPS and CpG for 48 h to expand the B10 population in vitro. Fluorescence-labelled B10 cells were transferred into the recipient mice by tail vein injection and were tracked on day 0, 3, 5 and 10 using IVIS Spectrum in vivo imaging system. The number of B10 cells and P. gingivalis-binding B cells were significantly increased after in vitro treatment of LPS and CpG. On day 5, the fluorescence intensity in gingival tissues was the highest in mice transferred with B10 cells from pre-immunized donor mice. Gingival expression of IL-6, TNF-α, RANKL/OPG ratio and periodontal bone loss in recipient mice were significantly reduced, and the expression of IL-10 and the number of CD19+ B cells were significantly increased after pre-immunized B10 cell transfer in the presence of antigen, compared to those with non-immunized B10 cell transfer or no antigen presence. This study suggests that antigen specificity dictate the local infiltration of B10 cells into periodontal tissue and these antigen-specific B10 cells promote anti-inflammatory responses.

Project description:Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are important regulators of gene expression that are aberrantly regulated in several inflammatory and infectious diseases. HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) suppress inflammatory activation of various cell types through epigenetic and non-epigenetic mechanisms, and ameliorate pathology in a mouse model of periodontitis. Activation of gingival fibroblasts (GFs) significantly contributes to the development of periodontitis and the anaerobic bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis plays a key role in driving chronic inflammation. Here, we analyzed the role of HDACs in inflammatory responses of GFs. Pan-HDACi suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) and/or ITF2357 (givinostat) significantly reduced TNFα- and P. gingivalis-inducible expression and/or production of a cluster of inflammatory mediators in healthy donor GFs (IL1B, CCL2, CCL5, CXCL10, COX2, and MMP3) without affecting cell viability. Selective inhibition of HDAC3/6, but not specific HDAC1, HDAC6, or HDAC8 inhibition, reproduced the suppressive effects of pan-HDACi on the inflammatory gene expression profile induced by TNFα and P. gingivalis, suggesting a critical role for HDAC3 in GF inflammatory activation. Consistently, silencing of HDAC3 expression with siRNA largely recapitulated the effects of HDAC3/6i on mRNA levels of inflammatory mediators in P. gingivalis-infected GFs. In contrast, P. gingivalis internalization and intracellular survival in GFs remained unaffected by HDACi. Activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases and NFκB signaling was unaffected by global or HDAC3/6-selective HDACi, and new protein synthesis was not required for gene suppression by HDACi. Finally, pan-HDACi and HDAC3/6i suppressed P. gingivalis-induced expression of IL1B, CCL2, CCL5, CXCL10, MMP1, and MMP3 in GFs from patients with periodontitis. Our results identify HDAC3 as an important regulator of inflammatory gene expression in GFs and suggest that therapeutic targeting of HDAC activity, in particular HDAC3, may be clinically beneficial in suppressing inflammation in periodontal disease.
