Project description:Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) is the most extensively studied growth factor in dentin-pulp complex, with pleiotropic effects on pulp response and healing. Our main objective was to analyze the expression profile of pulp tissue and odontoblasts, and the effects of TGF-β1 on these profiles in cultured human pulp and odontoblasts with a specific interest in the anti- and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Experiment Overall Design: Pulp tissues and odontoblasts were cultured for different time periods, and microarray was performed to both cultured and native samples to detect the effects of TGF-β1. Expression of various interleukins (IL) were confirmed by RT-PCR, and in +/- TGF-β1 treated pulps also by antibody array.

Project description:These data show that the genes that distinguish myofibroblasts from fibroblasts are myriad, and that some genes not traditionally associated with myofibroblast differentiation may serve as novel therapeutic targets for fibrosing disorders. Gene expression levels were assessed from total RNA on the Affymetrix U219 microarray. Here, we use transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which has recently been shown to reverse myofibroblast differentiation, to investigate the transcriptomic changes that occur during TGF-β1-induced differentiation and PGE2-induced de-differentiation of myofibroblasts.

Project description:Knowledge of differential gene expression between pulp and odontoblasts might give insight to the regulation of these spatially related but functionally diverse cells. Our aim was large-scale analysis of expression profiles of native human pulp tissue and odontoblasts, and search for genes expressed only in odontoblasts. Experiment Overall Design: Microarray using Affymetrix HGU133A (for pulp) and HGU133plus 2.0 array (for odontoblasts) was performed to pooled pulp and odontoblasts of native human third molars. Microarray analysisâ repeatability was estimated by comparing our pulp sample with expression profiles of two pulp samples downloaded from the GEO-database. The genes expressed only in our pulp sample or in odontoblasts were divided into categories, and the expression of selected odontoblast-specific genes of extracellular matrix (ECM) organization and biogenesis category was confirmed with RT-PCR and Western blot.

Project description:Enforced enhancement of H3K4me3 and H3K27ac, active chromatin marks, by inhibiting histone demethylases and deacetylases is positively linked with hard tissue formation by inducing matrix synthesis and osteo/odontogenic differentiation. However, the key endogenous epigenetic modifier of odontoblasts to regulate the expression of the genes coding dentin extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins has not been identified yet. We herein focused on IκBζ, which was originally identified as transcriptional regulator for NF-B and recently regarded as the local epigenetic modifier by independently on NF-B, and demonstrated that the IκBζ null mice exhibited thicker dentin width and narrower pulp chamber with aged mice having more drastic phenotypes. At 6 months old, dentin fluorescent labeling exhibited that dentin synthesis was significantly accelerated in the incisors of IκBζ null mice. In molars of IκBζ null mice, aggressive reactionary dentin adjacent to pulp horn was exhibited. Mechanistically, COL1A2 and COL1A1 collagen genes were increased in the odontoblasts rich fraction of IκBζ null mice than that of wild type in vivo and human odontoblasts-like cells transfected with siRNA for IκBζ than the control siRNA transfected cells in vitro. Further, the direct binding of IκBζ to COL1A2 promoter suppressed COL1A2 expression and the local active chromatin status marked with H3K4me3. By whole-genomic identification of H3K4me3 enrichments revealed that ECM and ECM organization-related gene loci were selectively activated by the knockdown of IκBζ, which consistently resulted in the up-regulation of these genes. Collectively, these results indicated that IκBζ is the key negative regulator of dentin formation in odontoblasts since the deletion of IκBζ expression enhanced dentin formation by inducing dentin ECM and ECM organization-related gene expression via altering the local chromatin status marked by H3K4me3. Therefore, IκBζ is a potential target for improving the clinical outcomes of dentin regeneration therapies such as pulp capping and pulp revitalization procedures.

Project description:Tumor-associated neutrophils are found in many types of cancer and are often reported to contribute to negative outcomes. Several studies have shown that the presence of TGF-β in the tumor microenvironment contributes to the skewing of neutrophils to have a more pro-tumor phenotype. However, the direct effects of TGF-β on neutrophil signaling and migration are unclear. We sought to characterize TGF-β signaling in both primary human neutrophils and the neutrophil-like cell line HL-60 and determine whether TGF-β directly induces neutrophil migration. We found that TGF-β1 does not induce neutrophil migration in either a transwell or an underagarose migration assay. However, TGF-β1 does activate signals canonically through SMAD3 and noncanonically through ERK1/2 in neutrophils in a time and dose-dependent manner. Additionally, TGF-β1 present in the tumor-conditioned media (TCM) is responsible for SMAD3 activation. Moreover, we discovered that TCM from aggressive breast cancer cells induces neutrophils to secrete leukotriene B4 (LTB4), which is a lipid mediator important for amplifying neutrophil recruitment. However, we found that TGF-β1 alone does not induce secretion of LTB4. We next performed RNA-sequencing to evaluate the effects of TGF-β1 and TCM on the neutrophil transcriptome. We found that TGF-β1 and TCM result in changes in gene transcription in HL-60 cells, specifically of two pro-tumor genes OSM and VEGFA. Together, our findings characterize the effects of TGF-β1 on neutrophil signaling, migration, and gene expression that can be applied to understanding the changes in neutrophils that occur in the tumor microenvironment.

Project description:Background: Increased Galectin 3-binding protein (Lgals3bp) serum levels have been used to assess hepatic fibrosis stages and the severity of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Considering the crucial role of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in the emergence of these diseases, the present study tested the hypothesis that Lgals3bp regulates the TGF-β1 signaling pathway. Methods: The expression levels of Lgals3bp and TGF-β1 were analyzed in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and HCC. Multiple omics techniques, such as RNA-sequencing, transposase-accessible chromatin-sequencing assay, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry proteomics, were used to identify the regulatory mechanisms for the Lgals3bp-TGF-β1 axis. Moreover, the effects of altered TGF-β1 signaling in chronic inflammatory conditions were investigated in conditional Lgals3bp-knockin and Lgals3bp-knockout mice. Results: In patients with NASH and HCC, the levels of Lgals3bp and TGF-β1 exhibited positive correlations. Stimulation of Lgals3bp by the inflammatory cytokine interferon α in HCC cells or ectopic overexpression of Lgals3bp in hepatocytes promoted the expression levels of TGFB1. Aggravated fibrosis was observed in the livers of hepatocyte-specific Lgals3bp knock-in mice, with increased TGF-β1 levels. Lgals3bp directly bound to and assembled integrin αV, an integral mediator required for releasing active TGF-β1 from extracellular latent complex with the rearranged F-actin cytoskeleton. The released TGF-β1 activated JunB transcription factor, which in turn promoted the TGF-β1 positive feedback loop. Lgals3bp deletion in the hepatocytes downregulated TGF-β1 signaling and CCl4 induced fibrosis. Finally, Lgals3bp depletion hindered hepatocarcinogenesis by limiting the availability of fibrogenic TGF-β1. Conclusion: Lgals3bp plays a crucial role in hepatic fibrosis and carcinogenesis by controlling the TGF-β1 signaling pathway, making it a promising therapeutic target in TGF-β1-related diseases.

Project description:Fibrotic diseases have significant health impact and have been associated with differentiation of the resident fibroblasts into myofibroblasts. In particular, stiffened extracellular matrix and TGF-β1 in fibrotic lesions have been shown to promote pathogenic myofibroblast activation and progression of fibrosis in various tissues. To better understand the roles of mechanical and chemical cues on myofibroblast differentiation and how they may crosstalk, we cultured primary valvular interstitial cells (VICs) isolated from porcine aortic valves and studied how traditional TCPS culture, which presents a non-physiologically stiff environment, and TGF-β1 affect native VIC phenotypes. We carried out gene expression profiling using porcine genome microarrays from Affymetrix and found that traditional TCPS culture induces major changes in gene expression of native VICs, rendering these cells more activated and similar to cells treated with TGF-β1. We also monitored time-dependent effects induced by TGF-β1 by examining gene expression changes induced by TGF-β1 at 8 hours and 24 hours. Porcine aortic VICs were isolated and cultured with or without TGF-β1 treatment for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We included 3 biological replicates for each condition. P0 VICs were freshly isolated cells which had not been cultured. P2 VICs were cells that had been passaged 2 times and cultured on plastic plates in low serum media. Some of the P2 VICs were treated with TGF-β1 at 5ng/ml for 8 hours or 24 hours. All the control and TGF-β1-treated conditions were collected at the same time on day 3 of culture.
