目的探讨牙龈蛋白酶在诱导成骨细胞凋亡过程中对整合素α5、β1的调节机制,为牙周炎发病机制的研究提供理论依据。方法标准厌氧环境下培养牙龈卟啉单胞菌W83,分离提纯牙龈蛋白酶。用8.348U/L牙龈蛋白酶处理小鼠成骨细胞MC3T3-E148h,末端脱氧核苷酸转移酶介导的dUTP缺口末端标记法4’,6-二脒基.2一苯基吲哚[transferase—mediateddeoxyuridinetriphosphate—biotinnickendlabeling-(4-Amidinophenyl)-6-indolecarbamidinedihydrochloride,TUNEL—DAPI]双染色法检测细胞凋亡;蛋白质印迹法检测整合素α5、β1蛋白的表达水平。结果精氨酸.蛋白酶活性为(41.74±2.11)U/L,赖氨酸一蛋白酶活性为(1.02±0.25)U/L。TUNEL—DAPI染色显示牙龈蛋白酶作用于MC3T3一E1细胞48h后诱导细胞发生凋亡。在短时间内(≤72h)牙龈蛋白酶呈时间依赖性下调整合素α5、β1的表达水平,48h时整合素α5、β1相对表达量分别为(0.485±0.039)、(0.504±0.002),72h时分别为(0.398±0.058)、(0.179±0.001),与对照组(蛋白相对表达量分别为1.000±0.000、1.000±0.000)相比差异均有统计学意义(P〈0.05);72h后,整合素α5表达水平与对照组相比差异无统计学意义,但整合素B1仍持续下调(96、120h时相对表达量分别为0.604±0.003、0.357±0.002),均显著低于对照组(1.000±0.000)(P〈0.05)。牙龈蛋白酶特异性抑制剂甲苯磺酰.L.赖氨酰.氯甲基酮(tosyl.CL—clysine-chloromethyl—ketone,TLCK)可有效抑制蛋白酶活性,使整合素α5、β1蛋白表达量分别从(0.398士0.058)、(0.179±0.001)显著上升至(0.7814-0.012)、(0.857±0.060)(P〈0.05),但TLCK本身不改变整合素α5、β1的表达水平(P〉0.05)。同时牙龈蛋白酶还呈剂量依赖性下调整合索α5、β1的表达水平,20.8700U/L牙龈?
Objective To investigate the regulatory mechanisms of integrin a5 and B1 in osteoblast in the process of gingipains-induced apoptosis. Methods Gingipains were isolated and purified from supernatants of Porphyromonas gingivalis W83 which was cultured under standard anaerobic conditions. MC3T3-E1 was challenged with or without 8. 3480 U/L gingipains for 48 h and apoptosis was examined by transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate-biotin nick end labeling-(4-Amidinophenyl)-6- indolecarbamidinc dihydrochloride (TUNEL-DAPI) staining. The expression of integrin ct5 and [M was analyzed by Western blotting after MC3T3-E1 was treated under different conditions. Results Arginine-specific proteinases ( Rgp ) activity was ( 41.74 ± 2. 11 ) U/L and lysine-specific proteinase ( Kgp ) was ( 1.02 ± 0. 25 ) U/L. Gingipains induced MC3T3-E1 cells apoptosis after 48 h. Compared with control group, expression of integrin a5 and B1 was down-regulated by gingipains in a time-dependent manner within short periods ( 〈72 h), integrin ct5 and B1 relative expression was (0. 485 ± 0. 039 ), (0. 504 ± 0. 002) at 48 h, (0. 398±0. 058), (0. 179 +0. 001 ) at 72 h respectively (P 〈0.05). After 72 h,integrin a5 expression in MC3T3-E1 cells was stable compared with control group while integrin B1 was still lower( control group: 1. 000 ± 0. 000,96 h : 0. 604 ± 0. 003,120 h : 0. 357 -+ 0. 002 ) ( P 〈 0. 05 ). Proteinase inhibitor tosyl- L- lysine-chloromethyl-ketone(TLCK) effectively blocked the activity of gingipain and inhibited down-regulation of in tegrlna5 and B1 induced by gingipains from (0. 398 ± 0. 058,0. 179 ± 0. 001 ) to (0. 781 ± 0. 012, 0. 857 ± 0. 060 ) ( P 〈 0. 05 ). TLCK alone did not have any effect on integrin a5 and B1 ( P 〉 0.05 ). Gingipains also decreased integrin a5 and B1 in a dose-dependent manner. When cells were treated with 20. 8700 U/L gingipains, integrin A5 and B1 relative expression reached to the lowest (
