The noncanonical function of borealin, a component of chromosome passenger complex, promotes glycolysis via stabilization of survivin in squamous cell carcinoma cells.,
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, Vol.706, 149741, 2024.

(要約): The chromosome passenger complex (CPC) is a kinase complex formed by Aurora B, borealin, survivin and inner centromere protein (INCENP). The CPC is active during mitosis and contributes to proper chromosome segregation via the phosphorylation of various substrates. Overexpression of each CPC component has been reported in most cancers. However, its significance remains unclear, as only survivin is known to confer chemoresistance. This study showed that the overexpression of borealin, a CPC component, stabilized survivin protein depending on its interaction with survivin. Unexpectedly, the accumulation of survivin by borealin overexpression did not affect the well-characterized functions of survivin, such as chemoresistance and cell proliferation. Interestingly, the overexpression of borealin promoted lactate production but not the overexpression of the deletion mutant that lacks the ability to bind to survivin. Consistent with these findings, the expression levels of glycolysis-related genes were enhanced in borealin-overexpressing cancer cells. Meanwhile, the overexpression of survivin alone did not promote lactate production. Overall, the accumulation of the borealin-survivin complex promoted glycolysis in squamous cell carcinoma cells. This mechanism may contribute to cancer progression via excessive lactate production.

Involvement of the OTUB1-YAP1 axis in driving malignant behaviors of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.,
Cancer Medicine, Vol.12, No.24, 22156-22169, 2023.

(要約): In HNSCC patients, USP10, USP14, OTUB1, and STAMBP among the screened DUBs were associated with a poor prognosis. Among them, OTUB1 showed the most aggressive characteristics in both in vitro and in vivo experiments. Additionally, OTUB1 regulated the stability and nuclear localization of YAP1, a substrate involved in cell proliferation and invasion. Notably, OTUB1 expression exhibited a positive correlation with the HNSCC-YAP score in HNSCC cells.

CD4 T-cell-dependent differentiation of CD23 follicular B cells contributes to the pulmonary pathology in a primary Sjögren's syndrome mouse model.,
Frontiers in Immunology, Vol.14, 1217492, 2023.

(要約): Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease that affects the function of exocrine glands, such as the lacrimal and the salivary glands. Extraglandular lesions and malignant lymphoma also occur during the progressive stage of pSS. We have, herein, focused on the pulmonary lesions of pSS and have aimed clarifying their pathophysiological mechanism by comparing the glandular with the extraglandular lesions observed in a mouse model of pSS. The histopathological analysis of lung tissues obtained from NFS/ mice that have undergone neonatal thymectomy was performed. Moreover, and experiments were conducted along with immunological analyses in order to characterize the unique phenotypes of the pulmonary lesions identified in these pSS model mice. Inflammatory lesions with a bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue-like structure were identified in the lungs of pSS model mice. In addition, relative to salivary gland lesions, pulmonary lesions showed increased CD23 follicular B (FB) cells. and pulmonary B cells were more readily driven to CD23 FB cell phenotype than salivary gland B cells in pSS model mice. Furthermore, the CD23 FB cell differentiation was found to be enhanced in a CD4 T-cell-dependent manner under a Th2-type condition in the lungs of herein examined pSS model mice. A Th2-type response in the pSS lung may promote the progression of autoimmune lesions through an enhanced abnormal differentiation of B cells.

Iroquois homeobox 3 regulates odontoblast proliferation and differentiation mediated by Wnt5a expression.,
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, Vol.650, 47-54, 2023.

(要約): Iroquois homeobox (Irx) genes are TALE-class homeobox genes that are evolutionarily conserved across species and have multiple critical cellular functions in fundamental tissue development processes. Previous studies have shown that Irxs genes are expressed during tooth development. However, the precise roles of genes in teeth remain unclear. Here, we demonstrated for the first time that Irx3 is an essential molecule for the proliferation and differentiation of odontoblasts. Using cDNA synthesized from postnatal day 1 (P1) tooth germs, we examined the expression of all Irx genes (Irx1-Irx6) by RT-PCR and found that all genes except Irx4 were expressed in the tooth tissue. Irx1-Irx3 a were expressed in the dental epithelial cell line M3H1 cells, while Irx3 and Irx5 were expressed in the dental mesenchymal cell line mDP cells. Only Irx3 was expressed in both undifferentiated cell lines. Immunostaining also revealed the presence of IRX3 in the dental epithelial cells and mesenchymal condensation. Inhibition of endogenous Irx3 by siRNA blocks the proliferation and differentiation of mDP cells. Wnt3a, Wnt5a, and Bmp4 are factors involved in odontoblast differentiation and were highly expressed in mDP cells by quantitative PCR analysis. Interestingly, the expression of Wnt5a (but not Wnt3a or Bmp4) was suppressed by Irx3 siRNA. These results suggest that Irx3 plays an essential role in part through the regulation of Wnt5a expression during odontoblast proliferation and differentiation.

Cancer cell-derived novel periostin isoform promotes invasion in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.,
Cancer Medicine, Vol.12, No.7, 8510-8525, 2023.

(要約): It recently has been reported that partial-epithelial-mesenchymal transition (p-EMT) program is associated with metastasis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). We previously have identified POSTN (which encodes periostin) as an invasion-promoting molecule in HNSCC. Interestingly, POSTN expression is frequently observed in cancer cells with higher p-EMT score by using a previous single-cell transcriptomic data of HNSCC cases. Although it is known that POSTN has 11 splicing variants, the role of them has not been determined in HNSCC. Here, we found that HNSCC cells with EMT features expressed POSTN isoforms, Iso3 (lacking exon 17 and 21) and Iso5 (lacking exon 17), whereas fibroblast expressed Iso3 and Iso4 (lacking exon 17, 18, and 21). The expression of POSTN Iso3 and Iso4 are known to be widely observed in various cell types including stromal cells. Therefore, we focused on the role of novel cancer cell-derived POSTN isoform, Iso5, in HNSCC. Single overexpression of POSTN Iso5 as well as Iso3 promoted invasion. Surprisingly, Iso5 synergistically promoted invasion together with Iso3. Notably, Iso5 as well as Iso3 upregulated p-EMT-related genes. We suggest that a novel cancer-specific POSTN isoform lacking exon 17 (Iso5) can be a useful marker for detecting cancer cells undergoing p-EMT. Moreover, a POSTN Iso5 can be a novel target for diagnosis and therapy in HNSCC.

Disturbed natural killer cell homeostasis in the salivary gland enhances autoimmune pathology via IFN-γ in a mouse model of primary Sjogren's syndrome.,
Frontiers in Medicine, Vol.9, 1036787, 2022.

(要約): Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), including natural killer (NK) cells, ILC1, ILC2, lymphoid tissue-inducer (LTi) cells, and ILC3 cell, play a key role in various immune responses. Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of exocrine glands, such as the lacrimal and salivary glands (SGs). The role of NK cells among ILCs in the pathogenesis of pSS is still unclear. In this study, the characteristics and subsets of NK cells in the salivary gland (SG) tissue were analyzed using a murine model of pSS. Multiple phenotypes and cytotoxic signature of the SG NK cells in control and pSS model mice were evaluated by flow cytometric analysis. Intracellular expression of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) among T cells and NK cells from the SG tissues was compared by experiments. In addition, pathological analysis was performed using anti-asialo-GM1 (ASGM1) antibody (Ab)-injected pSS model mice. The number of conventional NK (cNK) cells in the SG of pSS model mice significantly increased compared with that in control mice at 6 weeks of age. The production level of IFN-γ was significantly higher in SG NK cells than in SG T cells. The depletion of NK cells by ASGM1 Ab altered the ratio of tissue resident NK (rNK) cells to cNK cells, which inhibited the injury to SG cells with the recovery of saliva secretion in pSS model mice. The results indicate that SG cNK cells may enhance the autoreactive response in the target organ by upregulating of IFN-γ, whereas SG rNK cells protect target cells against T cell cytotoxicity. Therefore, the activation process and multiple functions of NK cells in the target organ could be helpful to develop potential markers for determining autoimmune disease activity and target molecules for incurable immune disorders.

Short-chain fatty acid profiling in biological samples from a mouse model of Sjögrens syndrome based on derivatized LC-MS/MS assay.,
Journal of Chromatography. B, Analytical Technologies in the Biomedical and Life Sciences, Vol.1210, 123432, 2022.

(要約): An analytical platform is required to characterize the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in a mouse model of pathological immune conditions. Therefore, liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry combined with 2-picolylamine derivatization and a comprehensive study of SCFAs distribution based on serum, saliva, feces, liver, and brain from a mouse model of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is performed. The design of experiments is used to achieve efficient 2-picolylamine derivatization, and optimize the reaction conditions. Twelve SCFAs are derivatized, and separated on a reversed-phase C column. All SCFAs show high linearity (r > 0.995) and intra/inter-day accuracy values from 71.6% to 115.6% (precision < 13.7%). This method was used to determine SCFAs concentrations in the serum, saliva, feces, liver, and brain of an SS model mice, and isobutyric acid, valeric acid, isovaleric acid, and 2-methylbutyric acid in liver from SS were significantly different compared with control group. Moreover, the preliminary evaluation of propionic acid, butyric acid, isobutyric acid, valeric acid, and isovaleric acid in saliva is conducted based on the respective SS stages and are correlated with these histological scores. This analytical platform for the widely SCFAs profiling in several tissues can be a clue for studying unclear immune pathophysiology.

Exposure to Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes Promotes Fibrous Proliferation by Production of Matrix Metalloproteinase-12 via NF-κB Activation in Chronic Peritonitis.,
The American Journal of Pathology, Vol.S0002-9440, No.22, 00240, 2022.

(要約): The toxicologic effects of nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), on the immune system are considerably understood. However, the precise relationship between long-term exposure to CNTs and chronic inflammation remains unclear. In this study, a mouse model of chronic peritonitis was established using i.p. injection of multiwalled CNTs treated by the Taquann method with high dispersion efficiency. Chronic peritonitis with fibrosis was observed in Taquann-treated multiwalled CNT (T-CNT)-injected mice, but not in Taquann-treated titanium dioxide-injected mice. In vivo and in vitro experiments showed that matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12) of macrophages was up-regulated by T-CNT to enhance fibroblast activation and profibrotic molecule expression in fibroblasts. In addition, T-CNT-induced peritonitis reduced MMP-12 expression in Nfκb1 mice, suggesting that MMP-12-producing macrophages play a key role in chronic inflammation due to T-CNT exposure through NF-κB activation. The results of this study could be helpful in understanding the molecular toxicity of nanomaterial and chronic inflammation.

Virus Infections Play Crucial Roles in the Pathogenesis of Sjögren's Syndrome.,
Viruses, Vol.14, No.7, 1474, 2022.

(要約): Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease especially targeting exocrine glands, such as the salivary and lacrimal glands. A radical therapy for SS based on its etiology has not been established because of the complex pathogenesis of the disease. Several studies have demonstrated a relationship between virus infection and SS pathogenesis. In particular, infection with the Epstein-Barr (EB) virus among others is a potent factor associated with the onset or development of SS. Specifically, virus infection in the target organs of SS triggers or promotes autoreactive responses involving the process of autoantigen formation, antigen-presenting function, or T-cell response. Our review of recent research highlights the crucial roles of virus infection in the pathogenesis of SS and discusses the critical association between virus infection and the etiology of autoimmunity in SS.

Binding of LAG-3 to stable peptide-MHC class II limits T cell function and suppresses autoimmunity and anti-cancer immunity.,
Immunity, Vol.55, No.5, 912-924.e8, 2022.

(要約): Lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3) is a potent inhibitory co-receptor; yet, its functional ligand remains elusive, with distinct potential ligands identified. Here, we investigated the relative contribution of potential ligands, stable peptide-MHC class II complexes (pMHCII) and fibrinogen-like protein 1 (FGL1), to LAG-3 activity invitro and invivo. Binding of LAG-3 to stable pMHCII but not to FGL1 induced Tcell suppression invitro. Consistently, LAG-3 mutants lacking FGL1-binding capacity but not those lacking stable pMHCII-binding capacity retained suppressive activity invitro. Accordingly, targeted disruption of stable pMHCII- but not FGL1-binding capacity of LAG-3 in NOD mice recapitulated diabetes exacerbation by LAG-3 deficiency. Additionally, the loss of stable pMHCII-binding capacity of LAG-3 augmented anti-cancer immunity comparably with LAG-3 deficiency in C57BL/6 mice. These results identify stable pMHCII as a functional ligand of LAG-3 both in autoimmunity and anti-cancer immunity. Thus, stable pMHCII-LAG-3 interaction is a potential therapeutic target in human diseases.

The Priming Potential of Interferon Lambda-1 for Antiviral Defense in the Oral Mucosa.,
Inflammation, Vol.45, No.3, 1348-1361, 2022.

(要約): The oral mucosa is one of the first lines of the innate host defense system against microbial invasion. Interferon (IFN) lambda-1 (IFN-λ1), a type III IFN, exhibits type I IFN-like antiviral activity. In contrast to ubiquitously expressed type I IFN receptors, IFN-λ receptor 1 (IFN-λR1), which has higher affinity for type III IFNs than low-affinity interleukin (IL)-10 receptor 2, is mainly expressed on epithelial cells. Although IFN-λ1 has been shown to exert antiviral effects in the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and skin, the regulation of type III IFN receptor expression and its functions in the oral mucosa remain unclear. We herein showed the expression of IFN-λR1 in human gingival keratinocytes. The expression of IL-6, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (a critical molecule for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection), and IL-8 in human primary gingival keratinocytes (HGK) were significantly higher following treatments with either type I IFN (IFN-β) or type II IFN (IFN-γ) than with IFN-λ1. However, the IFN-λ1 treatment strongly induced toll-like receptor (TLR) 3 and retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I), which mainly recognize viral nucleic acids, via the STAT1-mediated pathway. Furthermore, a stimulation with a RIG-I or TLR3 agonist promoted the production of IL-6, IL-8, and IFN-λ in HGK, which was significantly enhanced by a pretreatment with IFN-λ1. These results suggest that IFN-λ1 may contribute to the activation of innate immune responses to oral viral infections by up-regulating the expression of RIG-I and TLR3 and priming their functions in keratinocytes.

von Willebrand factor D and EGF domains regulate ameloblast differentiation and enamel formation.,
Journal of Cellular Physiology, Vol.237, No.3, 1964-1979, 2021.

(要約): Cell- and tissue-specific extracellular matrix (ECM) composition plays an important role in organ development, including teeth, by regulating cell behaviors, such as cell proliferation and differentiation. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that von Willebrand factor D and epidermal growth factor (EGF) domains (Vwde), a previously uncharacterized ECM protein, is specifically expressed in teeth and regulates cell proliferation and differentiation in inner enamel epithelial cells (IEEs) and enamel formation. We identified the Vwde as a novel ECM protein through bioinformatics using the NCBI expressed sequence tag database for mice. Vwde complementary DNA encodes 1773 amino acids containing a signal peptide, a von Willebrand factor type D domain, and tandem calcium-binding EGF-like domains. Real-time polymerase chain reaction demonstrated that Vwde is highly expressed in tooth tissue but not in other tissues including the brain, lung, heart, liver, kidney, and bone. In situ hybridization revealed that the IEEs expressed Vwde messenger RNA in developing teeth. Immunostaining showed that VWDE was localized at the proximal and the distal ends of the pericellular regions of the IEEs. Vwde was induced during the differentiation of mouse dental epithelium-derived M3H1 cells. Vwde-transfected M3H1 cells secreted VWDE protein into the culture medium and inhibited cell proliferation, whereas ameloblastic differentiation was promoted. Furthermore, Vwde increased the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 and protein kinase B and strongly induced the expression of the intercellular junction protein, N-cadherin (Ncad). Interestingly, the suppression of endogenous Vwde inhibited the expression of Ncad. Finally, we created Vwde-knockout mice using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. Vwde-null mice showed low mineral density, rough surface, and cracks in the enamel, indicating the enamel hypoplasia phenotype. Our findings suggest that Vwde assembling the matrix underneath the IEEs is essential for Ncad expression and enamel formation.

Conversion from epithelial to partial-EMT phenotype by Fusobacterium nucleatum infection promotes invasion of oral cancer cells.,
Scientific Reports, Vol.11, No.1, 14943, 2021.

(要約): The ability of cancer cells to undergo partial-epithelial mesenchymal transition (p-EMT), rather than complete EMT, poses a higher metastatic risk. Although Fusobacterium nucleatum mainly inhabits in oral cavity, attention has been focused on the F. nucleatum involvement in colorectal cancer development. Here we examined the p-EMT regulation by F. nucleatum in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells. We cultured OSCC cells with epithelial, p-EMT or EMT phenotype with live or heat-inactivated F. nucleatum. Expression of the genes involved in epithelial differentiation, p-EMT and EMT were examined in OSCC cells after co-culture with F. nucleatum by qPCR. Cell growth and invasion of OSCC cells were also examined. Both live and heat-inactivated F. nucleatum upregulated the expression of p-EMT-related genes in OSCC cells with epithelial phenotype, but not with p-EMT or EMT phenotype. Moreover, F. nucleatum promoted invasion of OSCC cells with epithelial phenotype. Co-culture with other strains of bacteria other than Porphyromonas gingivalis did not alter p-EMT-related genes in OSCC cells with epithelial phenotype. F. nucleatum infection may convert epithelial to p-EMT phenotype via altering gene expression in OSCC. Oral hygiene managements against F. nucleatum infection may contribute to reduce the risk for an increase in metastatic ability of OSCC.

Roles for B[a]P and FICZ in subchondral bone metabolism and experimental temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis via the AhR/Cyp1a1 signaling axis.,
Scientific Reports, Vol.11, No.1, 14927, 2021.

(要約): Bone loss due to smoking represents a major risk factor for fractures and bone osteoporosis. Signaling through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and its ligands contributes to both bone homeostasis and inflammatory diseases. It remains unclear whether the same AhR signaling axis affects the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The aim of this study was to investigate possible mechanisms which mediate bone loss in the TMJ due to smoking. In particular, whether benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), a carcinogen of tobacco smoke, induces expression of the AhR target gene, Cyp1a1, in mandibular condyles. Possible functions of an endogenous ligand of FICZ, were also investigated in a TMJ-osteoarthritis (OA) mouse model. B[a]P was administered orally to wild-type and AhR mice and bone metabolism was subsequently examined. TMJ-OA was induced in wild-type mice with forceful opening of the mouth. Therapeutic functions of FICZ were detected with μCT and histology. Exposure to B[a]P accelerated bone loss in the mandibular subchondral bone. This bone loss manifested with osteoclastic bone resorption and upregulated expression of Cyp1a1 in an AhR-dependent manner. In a mouse model of TMJ-OA, FICZ exhibited a dose-dependent rescue of mandibular subchondral bone loss by repressing osteoclast activity. Meanwhile, in vitro, pre-treatment with FICZ reduced RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis. B[a]P regulates mandibular subchondral bone metabolism via the Cyp1a1. The AhR ligand, FICZ, can prevent TMJ-OA by regulating osteoclast differentiation.

The thymoproteasome hardwires the TCR repertoire of CD8+ T cells in the cortex independent of negative selection.,
The Journal of Experimental Medicine, Vol.218, No.4, 2021.

(要約): The thymoproteasome expressed specifically in thymic cortical epithelium optimizes the generation of CD8+ T cells; however, how the thymoproteasome contributes to CD8+ T cell development is unclear. Here, we show that the thymoproteasome shapes the TCR repertoire directly in cortical thymocytes before migration to the thymic medulla. We further show that the thymoproteasome optimizes CD8+ T cell production independent of the thymic medulla; independent of additional antigen-presenting cells, including medullary thymic epithelial cells and dendritic cells; and independent of apoptosis-mediated negative selection. These results indicate that the thymoproteasome hardwires the TCR repertoire of CD8+ T cells with cortical positive selection independent of negative selection in the thymus.

Chemokines Up-Regulated in Epithelial Cells Control Senescence-Associated T Cell Accumulation in Salivary Glands of Aged and Sjögren's Syndrome Model Mice.,
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Vol.22, No.5, 2302, 2021.

(要約): Immunosenescence is characterized by age-associated changes in immunological functions. Although age- and autoimmune-related sialadenitis cause dry mouth (xerostomia), the roles of immunosenescence and cellular senescence in the pathogenesis of sialadenitis remain unknown. We demonstrated that acquired immune cells rather than innate immune cells infiltrated the salivary glands (SG) of aged mice. An analysis of isolated epithelial cells from SG revealed that the expression levels of the chemokine CXCL13 were elevated in aged mice. Senescence-associated T cells (SA-Ts), which secrete large amounts of atypical pro-inflammatory cytokines, are involved in the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders and autoimmune diseases. The present results showed that SA-Ts and B cells, which express the CXCL13 receptor CXCR5, accumulated in the SG of aged mice, particularly females. CD4 T cells derived from aged mice exhibited stronger in vitro migratory activity toward CXCL13 than those from young mice. In a mouse model of Sjögren's syndrome (SS), SA-Ts also accumulated in SG, presumably via CXCL12-CXCR4 signaling. Collectively, the present results indicate that SA-Ts accumulate in SG, contribute to the pathogenesis of age- and SS-related sialadenitis by up-regulating chemokines in epithelial cells, and have potential as therapeutic targets for the treatment of xerostomia caused by these types of sialadenitis.

Formation of Autoimmune Lesions Is Independent of Antibiotic Treatment in NOD Mice.,
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Vol.22, No.6, 3239, 2021.

(要約): The relationship between autoimmunity and changes in intestinal microbiota is not yet fully understood. In this study, the role of intestinal microbiota in the onset and progression of autoimmune lesions in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice was evaluated by administering antibiotics to alter their intestinal microenvironment. Flow cytometric analysis of spleen cells showed that antibiotic administration did not change the proportion or number of T and B cells in NOD mice, and pathological analysis demonstrated that autoimmune lesions in the salivary glands and in the pancreas were also not affected by antibiotic administration. These results suggest that the onset and progression of autoimmunity may be independent of enteral microbiota changes. Our findings may be useful for determining the appropriate use of antibiotics in patients with autoimmune diseases who are prescribed drugs to maintain systemic immune function.

上顎歯肉に発症したMicrocystic adnexal carcinomaの1例,
日本口腔外科学会雑誌, Vol.66, No.9, 455-459, 2020年.

(要約): Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is a rare malignant tumor of skin appendages. MAC grows slowly, but is locally aggressive. The metastatic potential is low, but the recurrence rates are very high owing to insufficient dissection. The most common location of MAC is the skin of the midface of middle-aged adults. There has been no report about MAC arising in the gingiva. We report here an extremely rare case of MAC of the upper gingiva in a 53-year-old woman. She presented to our hospital with a 6-year history of a gradually increasing gingival mass. Intraoral examination revealed a smooth, poorly circumscribed mass with white granules resembling Fordyce spots on her upper gingiva. There was no bone destruction or regional lymph node swelling. The histopathological diagnosis was a tumor of skin appendages. Tumor resection was performed. Postoperative pathological examination revealed that the tumor differentiated into hair follicles and the sweat-gland-like structures and deeply infiltrated into muscle, perineural spaces, and bone. Since the surgical margins were positive, additional resection was performed after preoperative mapping biopsy. Finally, the tumor was completely excised. No tumor recurrence or metastasis have been observed over 1 year.

Study of the pharmacokinetics of eriodictyol-6-C-β-d-glucoside, a flavonoid of rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) extract, after its oral administration in mice.,
Journal of Chromatography. B, Analytical Technologies in the Biomedical and Life Sciences, Vol.1137, 121881, 2019.

(要約): Systemic dry syndrome affects quality of life, and various effective methods are being developed for its treatment. We recently found that rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) extract activates muscarinic M receptor and improves dryness in mice and humans. We identified eriodictyol-6-C-β--glucoside (E6CG) as the active component affecting the secretory functions of exocrine glands; however, the pharmacokinetics and distribution of E6CG in exocrine glands have not been elucidated in mice receiving rooibos extract. We have developed a quantification method using LC-MS/MS to detect E6CG without an internal standard. Experiments on C57BL/6 mice administered rooibos extract showed that E6CG was transferred into blood plasma, with its concentration levels peaking 19.3 min after treatment. Substantial levels of E6CG were detected in the submandibular, sublingual, parotid, and lacrimal glands and in the sweat glands in palm skin. This study reports that rooibos extracts containing E6CG can be used as functional foods for improving systemic dryness.

Coordination of WNT signaling and ciliogenesis during odontogenesis by piezo type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1,
Scientific Reports, Vol.9, No.1, 14762, 2019.

(要約): Signal transmission from the mechanical forces to the various intracellular activities is a fundamental process during tissue development. Despite their critical role, the mechanism of mechanical forces in the biological process is poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrated that in the response to hydrostatic pressure (HP), the piezo type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1 (PIEZO1) is a primary mechanosensing receptor for odontoblast differentiation through coordination of the WNT expression and ciliogenesis. In stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED), HP significantly promoted calcium deposition as well as the expression of odontogenic marker genes, PANX3 and DSPP, and WNT related-genes including WNT5b and WNT16, whereas HP inhibited cell proliferation and enhanced primary cilia expression. WNT signaling inhibitor XAV939 and primary cilia inhibitor chloral hydrate blocked the HP-induced calcium deposition. The PIEZO1 activator Yoda1 inhibited cell proliferation but induced ciliogenesis and WNT16 expression. Interestingly, HP and Yoda1 promoted nuclear translocation of RUNX2, whereas siRNA-mediated silencing of PIEZO1 decreased HP-induced nuclear translocation of RUNX2. Taken together, these results suggest that PIEZO1 functions as a mechanotransducer that connects HP signal to the intracellular signalings during odontoblast differentiation.

Involvement of adiponectin in age-related increases in tear production in mice.,
Aging, Vol.11, No.19, 8329-8346, 2019.

(要約): Common age-related changes in the human eye contribute to the development of dry eye, including decreases in aqueous tear production. Although the infiltration of lymphocytes into the lacrimal glands occurs with age, age-related increases in tear production have also been observed in mice; however, the mechanisms underlying this increase remain unclear. We herein demonstrated that increases in tear production were not dependent on body weight gain or systemic conditions, such as insulin resistance, using aged mice and high-fat diet-fed mice. The results obtained also showed that senescence-associated T (SA-T) cells accumulated in the lacrimal glands of aged mice, particularly females. Expression levels of the nuclear transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) in whole lacrimal glands and epithelial cells isolated from lacrimal glands were significantly higher in aged mice than in young mice. The expression levels of adiponectin and one of its receptors, AdipoR2, also increased in the lacrimal glands of aged mice, but not in those of high-fat diet-fed mice. Collectively, the present results indicate that PPARγ and adiponectin-mediated signaling contribute to age-related increases in tear production in mice and have potential as therapeutic targets for the treatment of dry eye in humans.

Novel effects of rooibos extract on tear and saliva secretion mediated by the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 3 in mice,
Journal of Oral Biosciences, Vol.61, No.3, 179-182, 2019.

(要約): Sicca syndrome is characterized by dry mouth and eyes and results in a reduction of the patient's quality of life. Various natural plants, including certain herbs, have long been employed to alleviate such symptoms. Rooibos grown in South Africa is one of the potent herbal plants used for the treating dry mouth. However, the precise mechanism of action by which rooibos alleviates symptoms of dryness remains unclear. The in vivo effects of rooibos extract (RE), which comprises eriodictyol-6-C-glucoside, on the secretory function of saliva and tears were analyzed after intraoral RE administration using wild-type C57BL/6 (B6) mice. In addition, the mechanisms of RE were investigated after administration of a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 3 (M3R) antagonist. Tear and saliva volumes in mice increased significantly and in a dose-dependent manner following intraoral RE administration compared to those in mice in the control group administered HO. An experiment performed using darifenacin administration revealed that the effects of RE on secretory function were exerted via M3R. These results suggest that RE administration is an effective treatment for symptoms of dryness and may be used in clinical settings against sicca syndrome.

CCL22-Producing Resident Macrophages Enhance T Cell Response in Sjögren's Syndrome.,
Frontiers in Immunology, Vol.9, 2594, 2018.

(要約): Macrophages (MΦs) are critical regulators of immune response and serve as a link between innate and acquired immunity. The precise mechanism of involvement of tissue-resident MΦs in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases is not clear. Here, using a murine model for Sjögren's syndrome (SS), we investigated the role of tissue-resident MΦs in the onset and development of autoimmunity. Two unique populations of CD11b and CD11b resident MΦs were observed in the target tissue of the SS model. Comprehensive gene expression analysis of chemokines revealed effective production of CCL22 by the CD11b MΦs. CCL22 upregulated the migratory activity of CD4 T cells by increasing CCR4, a receptor of CCL22, on T cells in the SS model. In addition, CCL22 enhanced IFN-γ production of T cells of the SS model, thereby suggesting that CCL22 may impair the local immune tolerance in the target organ of the SS model. Moreover, administration of anti-CCL22 antibody suppressed autoimmune lesions in the SS model. Finally, histopathological analysis revealed numerous CCL22-producing MΦs in the minor salivary gland tissue specimens of the SS patients. CCL22-producing tissue-resident MΦs may control autoimmune lesions by enhancing T cell response in the SS model. These results suggest that specific chemokines and their receptors may serve as novel therapeutic or diagnostic targets for SS.

Long-term polarization of alveolar macrophages to a profibrotic phenotype after inhalation exposure to multi-wall carbon nanotubes.,
PLoS ONE, Vol.13, No.10, e0205702., 2018.

(要約): Nanomaterials are widely used in various fields. Although the toxicity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in pulmonary tissues has been demonstrated, the toxicological effect of CNTs on the immune system in the lung remains unclear. In this study, exposure to Taquann-treated multi-walled CNTs (T-CNTs) was performed using aerosols generated in an inhalation chamber. At 12 months after T-CNT exposure, alveolar inflammation with macrophage accumulation and hypertrophy of the alveolar walls were observed. In addition, fibrotic lesions were enhanced by T-CNT exposure. The macrophages in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of T-CNT-exposed mice were not largely shifted to any particular population, and were a mixed phenotype with M1 and M2 polarization. Moreover, the alveolar macrophages of T-CNT-exposed mice produced matrix metalloprotinase-12. These results suggest that T-CNT exposure promoted chronic inflammation and fibrotic lesion formation in profibrotic macrophages for prolonged periods.

Distinct Regulation of CXCL10 Production by Cytokines in Human Salivary Gland Ductal and Acinar Cells.,
Inflammation, Vol.41, No.4, 1172-1181, 2018.

(要約): CXCL10, a CXC chemokine induced by interferon-gamma [IFN-γ], has been observed in a wide variety of chronic inflammatory disorders and autoimmune conditions. Although CXCL10 is known to be overexpressed in the salivary glands of individuals with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), it is unclear which cells produce CXCL10 under what types of stimulations. Here, we investigated the precise molecular mechanisms by which CXCL10 was produced in human salivary gland ductal (NS-SV-DC) and acinar (NS-SV-AC) cell lines. Our results demonstrated that NS-SV-DC cells produced higher levels of CXCL10 compared to NS-SV-AC cells. In addition, our findings demonstrated that the regulator of the enhancement of CXCL10 was different between NS-SV-DC and NS-SV-AC cells, i.e., interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) had more potential than interferon-alpha (IFN-α), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and interleukin (IL)1-β in the induction of CXCL10 production in NS-SV-DC cells, whereas TNF-α had potential to induce CXCL10 production in NS-SV-AC cells. A Western blot analysis demonstrated that IFN-γ enhanced the production of CXCL10 via both the JAK/STAT1 pathway and the NF-κB pathway in NS-SV-DC cells, whereas TNF-α enhanced the production of CXCL10 via the NF-κB pathway in NS-SV-AC cells. The results of study suggest that the CXCL10 overexpression in the salivary glands is caused mainly by IFN-γ-stimulated salivary gland ductal cells. The enhanced production of CXCL10 by IFN-γ from ductal cells may result in the inflammation of pSS lesions.

Inverse correlation between the number of CXCR3+ macrophages and the severity of inflammatory lesions in Sjögren's syndrome salivary glands: a pilot study,
Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine, Vol.47, No.7, 710-718, 2018.

(要約): Mechanisms underlying immune cells' recruitment and activation into the inflammatory lesions of lip salivary glands (LSGs) from primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) patients are incompletely understood. Chemokines play pivotal roles in these processes, so we investigated the clinical significance of chemokine receptor CXCR3 and its ligands in the autoimmune lesions of pSS. We histologically determined the grade of LSG samples from 22 patients with pSS and subjected the samples to immunofluorescence analysis to determine the expressions of CXCR3 and its ligands: CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11. To identify the immune cells expressing CXCR3 in the LSGs, we performed double immunofluorescence analysis using antibodies against CD3 (pan-T cells), CD80 (M1 macrophages), CD163 (M2 macrophages), and CD123 (plasmacytoid dendritic cells: pDCs). The relationship between the grade of lymphocytic infiltration and the number of positively stained cells was analyzed by Spearman's rank correlation test. The expressions of CXCL9 and CXCL10 showed particularly intense staining in the LSG samples' ductal cells. The CXCR3 expression was detected mainly in CD80 and CD163 macrophages. The number of CXCR3 CD163 macrophages inversely correlated with the LSG inflammatory lesions' severity (rs = -0.777, P < 0.001). Our results suggest that the enhanced production of CXCL9 and CXCL10 from ductal cells results in the CXCR3 macrophages' migration. There was an inverse correlation between these two parameters: that is, the number of CXCR3 CD163 macrophages decreased as the lymphocytic infiltration grade increased. Although CXCR3 is expressed in all of the innate immune cells, CXCR3 CD163 M2 macrophages may contribute to the anti-inflammatory functions in pSS lesions.

NF κB2 Controls the Migratory Activity of Memory T Cells by Regulating Expression of CXCR4 in a Mouse Model of Sjögren's Syndrome,
Arthritis & Rheumatology, Vol.69, No.11, 2193-2202, 2017.

(要約): Dysregulated chemokine signaling contributes to autoimmune diseases by facilitating aberrant T cell infiltration into target tissues, but the specific chemokines, receptors, and T cell populations remain largely unidentified. The aim of this study was to examine the role of the potent chemokine CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4 in the T cell autoimmune response, using alymphoplasia (aly)/aly mice, a model of Sjögren's syndrome (SS). T cell phenotypes in the salivary gland of aly/aly mice were evaluated using immunologic analysis. An in vitro migration assay was used to assess T cell migratory activity toward several chemokines. Gene expression of chemokine receptors and transforming growth factor β receptors (TGFβRs) was measured by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 was administered to the aly/aly mice in order to evaluate its suppressive effect on autoimmune lesions. Effector memory T (TEM) cells derived from aly/aly mice demonstrated higher in vitro migratory activity toward CXCL12 than did TEM cells from aly/+ mice. CXCL12 expression was specifically up-regulated in the SS target cells of aly/aly mice. TEM cells from RelB mice, but not Nfkb1 mice, also showed high migratory activity toward CXCL12, implicating a role of the nonclassical RelB/NF-κB2 pathway in the regulation of TEM cell migration. TEM cells from aly/aly mice also overexpressed TGFβR type I (TGFβRI) and TGFβRII. The CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 suppressed autoimmune lesions in aly/aly mice by reducing TEM cell infiltration. Our results suggest that the RelB/NF-κB2 pathway regulates T cell migration to autoimmune targets through TGFβ/TGFβR-dependent regulation of CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling. This suggests that these signaling pathways are potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Preventive effects of mouthguard use while sleeping on recurrent aphthous stomatitis: Preliminary interventional study.,
Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Vol.3, No.5, 198-203, 2017.

(要約): Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is the most common inflammatory ulceration in the oral mucosa of otherwise healthy individuals and is often accompanied by severe pain. However, the etiology of RAS is not completely understood, and currently, no therapy can completely prevent RAS recurrence. In our clinical experience, we noticed that patients using a night guard, which is often used for bruxism treatment, did not develop RAS. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether mouthguard use can suppress RAS development. The cohort of this interventional, prospective, single-center, and self-controlled study included 20 subjects who developed RAS at least once a month. The oral health of all the subjects was recorded for 60 days before and after intervention with a mouthguard. The average number of RAS incidences decreased from 5.5 to 1.0, the average days until healing decreased from 7.3 to 5.6, and the period with RAS decreased from 31.5 to 5.0 with mouthguard use. Mouthguard use may be beneficial for preventing RAS development.

Essential role of CCL21 in establishment of central self-tolerance in T cells,
The Journal of Experimental Medicine, Vol.214, No.7, 1925-1935, 2017.

(要約): The chemokine receptor CCR7 directs T cell relocation into and within lymphoid organs, including the migration of developing thymocytes into the thymic medulla. However, how three functional CCR7 ligands in mouse, CCL19, CCL21Ser, and CCL21Leu, divide their roles in immune organs is unclear. By producing mice specifically deficient in CCL21Ser, we show that CCL21Ser is essential for the accumulation of positively selected thymocytes in the thymic medulla. CCL21Ser-deficient mice were impaired in the medullary deletion of self-reactive thymocytes and developed autoimmune dacryoadenitis. T cell accumulation in the lymph nodes was also defective. These results indicate a nonredundant role of CCL21Ser in the establishment of self-tolerance in T cells in the thymic medulla, and reveal a functional inequality among CCR7 ligands in vivo.

Pathological Analysis of Ocular Lesions in a Murine Model of Sjögren's Syndrome.,
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Vol.18, No.6, 2017.

(要約): Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by severe inflammation of exocrine glands such as the salivary and lacrimal glands. When it affects the lacrimal glands, many patients experience keratoconjunctivitis due to severely dry eyes. This study investigated the pathological and immunological characteristics of ocular lesions in a mouse model of SS. Corneal epithelial injury and hyperplasia were confirmed pathologically. The number of conjunctival mucin-producing goblet cells was significantly decreased in the SS model mice compared with control mice. Expression levels of transforming growth factor (TGF)-, interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-, and C-X-C motif chemokine (CXCL) 12 were significantly higher in the corneal epithelium of the SS model mice than in control mice. Inflammatory lesions were observed in the Harderian, intraorbital, and extraorbital lacrimal glands in the SS model mice, suggesting that the ocular glands were targeted by an autoimmune response. The lacrimal glands of the SS model mice were infiltrated by cluster of differentiation (CD)4+ T cells. Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed significantly increased mRNA expression of TNF-, TGF-, CXCL9, and lysozyme in the extraorbital lacrimal glands of the SS model mice compared with control mice. These results add to the understanding of the complex pathogenesis of SS and may facilitate development of new therapeutic strategies.

Potential Role of Free Fatty Acids in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis and Primary Sjögren's Syndrome.,
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Vol.18, No.4, 2017.

(要約): Clinical studies have shown that metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia are associated with increased risk of oral-related diseases, such as periodontitis and Sjögren's syndrome. Although changes in the immune system are critical in both of these metabolic disorders and oral-related diseases, the mechanism underlying the interaction between these diseases remains largely unknown. Obesity and type 2 diabetes are known to be associated with higher concentrations of free fatty acids in blood. Among free fatty acids, saturated fatty acids such as palmitic acid have been demonstrated to induce inflammatory responses mainly via the innate immune systems, and to be involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes in tissues such as adipose tissue, liver, pancreas, and skeletal muscle. Here, we highlight recent advances in evidence for the potential involvement of palmitic acid in the pathogenesis of periodontitis and Sjögren's syndrome, and discuss the possibility that improvement of the lipid profile could be a new strategy for the treatment of these diseases.

Dual Role of Fas/FasL-Mediated Signal in Peripheral Immune Tolerance.,
Frontiers in Immunology, Vol.8, No.403, 2017.

(要約): Fas-mediated apoptosis contributes to physiological and pathological cellular processes, such as differentiation and survival. In particular, the roles of Fas in immune cells are complex and critical for the maintenance of immune tolerance. The precise pathways and unique functions associated with Fas/FasL-mediated signaling in the immune system are known. The dual character of Fas/FasL-mediated immune regulation that induces beneficial or harmful effects is associated with the onset or development of immune disorders. Studies on mutations in genes encoding Fas and FasL gene of humans and mice contributed to our understanding of the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Here, we review the opposing functions of Fas/FasL-mediated signaling, bilateral effects of Fas/FasL on in immune cells, and complex pathogenesis of autoimmunity mediated by Fas/FasL.

The nuclear receptor AhR controls bone homeostasis by regulating osteoclast differentiation via the RANK/c-Fos signaling axis.,
The Journal of Immunology, Vol.197, No.12, 4639-4650, 2016.

(要約): The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) pathway plays a key role in receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL)-mediated osteoclastogenesis. However, the mechanism underlying the regulation of AhR expression in osteoclasts and the signaling pathway through which AhR controls osteoclastogenesis remain unclear. We found that the expression of AhR in bone marrow-derived osteoclasts was upregulated by RANKL at an earlier stage than was the expression of signature osteoclast genes such as those encoding cathepsin K and NFAT, cytoplasmic, calcineurin-dependent 1. In response to RANKL, bone marrow macrophages isolated from AhR(-/-) mice exhibited impaired phosphorylation of Akt and MAPK as well as NF-κB, whereas their response to M-CSF remained unchanged. Osteoclast differentiation mediated by the AhR signaling pathway was also regulated in an RANKL/c-Fos-dependent manner. Furthermore, ligand activation of AhR by the smoke toxin benzo[a]pyrene accelerated osteoclast differentiation in a receptor-dependent manner, and AhR-dependent regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis in osteoclasts was observed. Moreover, AhR(-/-) mice exhibited impaired bone healing with delayed endochondral ossification. Taken together, the present results suggest that the RANKL/AhR/c-Fos signaling axis plays a critical role in osteoclastogenesis, thereby identifying the potential of AhR in treating pathological, inflammatory, or metabolic disorders of the bone.

Human odontogenic epithelial cells derived from epithelial rests of Malassez possess stem cell properties.,
Laboratory Investigation; a Journal of Technical Methods and Pathology, 2016.

(要約): Epithelial cell rests of Malassez (ERM) are quiescent epithelial remnants of the Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS) that are involved in the formation of tooth roots. ERM cells are unique epithelial cells that remain in periodontal tissues throughout adult life. They have a functional role in the repair/regeneration of cement or enamel. Here, we isolated odontogenic epithelial cells from ERM in the periodontal ligament, and the cells were spontaneously immortalized. Immortalized odontogenic epithelial (iOdE) cells had the ability to form spheroids and expressed stem cell-related genes. Interestingly, iOdE cells underwent osteogenic differentiation, as demonstrated by the mineralization activity in vitro in mineralization-inducing media and formation of calcification foci in iOdE cells transplanted into immunocompromised mice. These findings suggest that a cell population with features similar to stem cells exists in ERM and that this cell population has a differentiation capacity for producing calcifications in a particular microenvironment. In summary, iOdE cells will provide a convenient cell source for tissue engineering and experimental models to investigate tooth growth, differentiation, and tumorigenesis.Laboratory Investigation advance online publication, 1 August 2016; doi:10.1038/labinvest.2016.85.

Intraoral Ultrasonography of Tongue Mass Lesions,
Dento Maxillo Facial Radiology, Vol.45, No.5, 20150362, 2016.

(要約): To demonstrate the usefulness of intraoral ultrasonography (IOUS) for tongue mass lesions, we analyzed surgery cases excluding squamous-cell carcinoma and leukoplakia and compared IOUS and pathological findings. We used the hospital information system and Radiology Information System to evaluate the IOUS and pathological findings of patients who underwent surgeries for tongue masses in the past 11 years. Surgeries for the tongues were performed in 268 cases. Imaging examinations were carried out in 52 (19.4%) cases including 42 (15.7%) cases by IOUS. The pathological results of the surgeries were as follows: 36 cases were inflammatory lesions, 74 cases were tumours, 131 cases were hyperplasia, 8 cases were cystic lesions and 19 cases were other miscellaneous lesions. On the other hand, the number of patients who received IOUS in the same period was 87, and 42 of them had surgeries. In 32 out of the 42 (76.2%) cases, pre-operative IOUS features matched with pathological results. Most of the haemangiomas and lipomas could be diagnosed by IOUS alone. IOUS of the tongue revealed the nature of the lesions including the border, size, location, depth, the presence or absence of a capsule and the internal structure including vascularity of the mass. The ultrasonographic findings well reflected the histological findings. IOUS is a simple and useful technique that provides additional information beyond inspection, clarifying the internal structure, blood flow and relationships with the adjacent tissues. In this article, we indicated 11 representative cases (fibrous polyp, haemangioma, pyogenic granuloma, lipoma, liposarcoma, chondroma, lymphangioma, schwannoma, neurofibroma, pleomorphic adenoma and amyloidosis) to show the usefulness of IOUS.

Impaired expansion of regulatory T cells in a neonatal thymectomy-induced autoimmune mouse model.,
The American Journal of Pathology, Vol.185, No.11, 2886-2897, 2015.

(要約): Neonatal thymectomy in certain mouse strains is known to induce organ-specific autoimmunity due to impaired functions of T cells, including Foxp3(+) regulatory T (Treg) cells in the thymus. The precise mechanism underlying the induction of autoimmunity by neonatal thymectomy remains unclear. One possibility is that depletion of Treg cells breaks down peripheral tolerance. We examined the functions of Treg cells by using a murine Sjögren syndrome model of NFS/sld mice that underwent neonatal thymectomy. The ratio of Treg cells to effector memory phenotype T cells in thymectomy mice was significantly lower than that of nonthymectomy mice. In addition, in vitro induction of peripherally induced Treg cells by transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) using naive T cells from Sjögren syndrome model mice was severely impaired. The mRNA expression of TGF-β receptor I and II and Smad3 and -4 in the TGF-β-induced signal transduction pathway of Treg cells in this Sjögren syndrome model were lower than those of control mice. In addition, Treg cells in this Sjögren syndrome model exhibited an interferon-γ-producing Th1-like phenotype that resembled effector T cells. In conclusion, these results suggest that abnormal expansion and differentiation of Treg cells and inflammatory cytokines produced by Treg cells contribute to the development of autoimmunity.

The non-canonical role of Aurora-A in DNA replication.,
Frontiers in Oncology, Vol.96, No.4, 468-480, 2015.

(要約): Aurora-A is a well-known mitotic kinase that regulates mitotic entry, spindle formation, and chromosome maturation as a canonical role. During mitosis, Aurora-A protein is stabilized by its phosphorylation at Ser51 via blocking anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome-mediated proteolysis. Importantly, overexpression and/or hyperactivation of Aurora-A is involved in tumorigenesis via aneuploidy and genomic instability. Recently, the novel function of Aurora-A for DNA replication has been revealed. In mammalian cells, DNA replication is strictly regulated for preventing over-replication. Pre-replication complex (pre-RC) formation is required for DNA replication as an initiation step occurring at the origin of replication. The timing of pre-RC formation depends on the protein level of geminin, which is controlled by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Aurora-A phosphorylates geminin to prevent its ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis at the mitotic phase to ensure proper pre-RC formation and ensuing DNA replication. In this review, we introduce the novel non-canonical role of Aurora-A in DNA replication.

Protection from diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance in mice lacking CCL19-CCR7 signaling.,
Obesity, Vol.23, No.7, 1460-1471, 2015.

(要約): Several chemokines play important roles in recruiting the monocyte/macrophage lineage into adipose tissues. We previously found CCL19 was highly expressed in adipocytes cocultured with macrophages stimulated by endotoxin. This study aimed to evaluate the role of CCL19-CCR7 axis on obesity and insulin resistance. Serum CCL19 concentration was examined in obese model mice challenged by endotoxin. CCL19 receptor-null, Ccr7(-/-), mice and wild-type mice fed a high-fat diet or normal diet were used to investigate the role of CCL19 signals on obesity-associated inflammation. CCL19 protein was elevated in the sera of obese model mice challenged by endotoxin. Ccr7(-/-) mice were protected from diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance. The adipose tissue and liver expression of inflammatory genes of Ccr7(-/-) mice was much lower than in diet-induced obese mice. Ccr7(-/-) mice were protected from fatty liver and dyslipidemia and exhibited increased thermogenesis on high-fat feeding. CCL19 attracts activated dendritic cells (DC). The expression of the DC markers, CD11b and 11c, was not observed in the adipose tissues of Ccr7(-/-) mice fed a high-fat diet, which might be closely associated with the protection of these mice from obesity. The CCL19-CCR7 pathway associates with the development of high-fat-induced obesity and insulin resistance.

Intrathymic B cell licensing for Aire expression and T cell tolerance induction.,
Immunity, Vol.42, No.6, 1048-1061, 2015.

(要約): Thymic antigen-presenting cells (APCs) such as dendritic cells and medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) use distinct strategies of self-antigen expression and presentation to mediate central tolerance. The thymus also harbors B cells; whether they also display unique tolerogenic features and how they genealogically relate to peripheral B cells is unclear. Here, we found that Aire is expressed in thymic but not peripheral B cells. Aire expression in thymic B cells coincided with major histocompatibility class II (MHCII) and CD80 upregulation and immunoglobulin class-switching. These features were recapitulated upon immigration of naive peripheral B cells into the thymus, whereby this intrathymic licensing required CD40 signaling in the context of cognate interactions with autoreactive CD4(+) thymocytes. Moreover, a licensing-dependent neo-antigen selectively upregulated in immigrating B cells mediated negative selection through direct presentation. Thus, autoreactivity within the nascent T cell repertoire fuels a feed forward loop that endows thymic B cells with tolerogenic features.

Possible involvement of palmitate in pathogensis of periodontitis.,
Journal of Cellular Physiology, Vol.230, No.12, 2981-2989, 2015.

(要約): Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by decreased insulin sensitivity and higher concentrations of free fatty acids (FFAs) in plasma. Among FFAs, saturated fatty acids (SFAs), such as palmitate, have been suggested to promote inflammatory responses. Although many epidemiological studies have shown a link between periodontitis and T2D, little is known about the clinical significance of SFAs in periodontitis. In this study, we showed that gingival fibroblasts have cell-surface expression of CD36, which is also known as FAT/fatty acid translocase. Moreover, CD36 expression was increased in gingival fibroblasts of high-fat diet-induced T2D model mice, compared with gingival fibroblasts of mice fed a normal diet. DNA microarray analysis revealed that palmitate increased mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in human gingival fibroblasts (HGF). Consistent with these results, we confirmed that palmitate-induced interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and CXCL1 secretion in HGF, using a cytokine array and ELISA. SFAs, but not an unsaturated fatty acid, oleate, induced IL-8 production. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which is one of the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, significantly suppressed palmitate-induced IL-6 and IL-8 production. Treatment of HGF with a CD36 inhibitor also inhibited palmitate-induced pro-inflammatory responses. Finally, we demonstrated that Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.g.) lipopolysaccharide and heat-killed P.g. augmented palmitate-induced chemokine secretion in HGF. These results suggest a potential link between SFAs in plasma and the pathogenesis of periodontitis. J. Cell. Physiol. 230: 2981-2989, 2015. © 2015 The Authors.

Runx/Cbfb signaling regulates postnatal development of granular convoluted tubule in the mouse submandibular gland.,
Developmental Dynamics, Vol.244, No.3, 488-496, 2015.

(要約): The rodent salivary gland is not fully developed at birth and the cellular definitive differentiation takes place postnatally. However, little is known about its molecular mechanism. Here we provide the loss-of-function genetic evidence that Runx signaling affects postnatal development of the submandibular gland (SMG). Core binding factor β (Cbfb) is a cotranscription factor which forms a heterodimer with Runx proteins. Cbfb was specifically expressed in the duct epithelium, specifically in the SMG. Epithelial Cbfb deficiency resulted in decrease in the size of the SMG and in the saliva secretion on postnatal day 35. The Cbfb mutant SMG specifically exhibited involution of the granular convoluted tubules (GCT), with a down-regulated expression of its marker genes, such as Klk1, Ngf, and Egf. The induction of GCT is under the control of androgens, and the Cbfb mutant SMG demonstrated down-regulated expression of Crisp3, an androgen-dependent transcript. Because the circulating testosterone or tissue dihydrotestosterone levels were not affected in the Cbfb mutants, it appears that Runx/Cbfb signaling regulate androgen receptor pathway, but does not affect the circulating testosterone levels or the enzymatic conversion to DHT. Runx signaling is important in the postnatal development of androgen-dependent GCT in the SMG.

Aromatase controls Sjögren syndrome-like lesions through monocyte chemotactic protein-1 in target organ and adipose tissue-associated macrophages.,
The American Journal of Pathology, Vol.185, No.1, 151-161, 2015.

(要約): Several autoimmune diseases are known to develop in postmenopausal women. However, the mechanism by which estrogen deficiency influences autoimmunity is unknown. Aromatase is an enzyme that converts androgens to estrogens. Herein, we used female aromatase gene knockout (ArKO) mice as a model of estrogen deficiency to investigate the molecular mechanism that underlies the onset and development of autoimmunity. Histological analyses showed that inflammatory lesions in the lacrimal and salivary glands of ArKO mice increased with age. Adoptive transfer of spleen cells or bone marrow cells from ArKO mice into recombination activating gene 2 knockout mice failed to induce the autoimmune lesions. Expression of mRNA encoding proinflammatory cytokines and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 increased in white adipose tissue of ArKO mice and was significantly higher than that in wild-type mice. Moreover, an increased number of inflammatory M1 macrophages was observed in white adipose tissue of ArKO mice. A significantly increased monocyte chemotactic protein-1 mRNA expression of the salivary gland tissue in ArKO was found together with adiposity. Furthermore, the autoimmune lesions in a murine model of Sjögren syndrome were exacerbated by administration of an aromatase inhibitor. These results suggest that aromatase may play a key role in the pathogenesis of Sjögren syndrome-like lesions by controlling the target organ and adipose tissue-associated macrophage.

Neuroendocrine tumor in the mandible: a case report with imaging and histopathologic findings,
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology, Vol.119, No.1, e41-e48, 2015.

(要約): Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) arise from neuroendocrine cells and are mostly observed in the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and lungs. NETs in the oral and maxillofacial region are extremely rare. We report a case of a 59-year-old woman with an NET in the mandible. The patient did not show any symptoms except for remarkable swelling and bleeding. The lesion appeared as a radiolucent honeycomb abnormality with bone destruction on panoramic radiography. The histopathologic diagnosis following a biopsy was NET. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT), and adrenal scintigraphy-labeled meta-iodobenylguanidine were the modalities added to identify the primary site. Multiple lesions were confirmed in the gastrointestinal tract. Endoscopy was performed to identify the lesions, and several lesions were observed protruding from the mucous membranes. However, the endoscopy specimens did not yield an accurate diagnosis because adequate samples were not acquired. Blood and urine tests revealed no functional activity caused by the tumors. Although the origin was not histopathologically confirmed with endoscopy, this patient was situationally diagnosed with nonfunctional NET originating from the duodenum, as demonstrated by the metastases in the mandible.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Rebamipide Eyedrop Administration on Ocular Lesions in a Murine Model of Primary Sjögren's Syndrome.,
PLoS ONE, Vol.9, No.5, e98390, 2014.

(要約): Topical therapy is effective for dry eye, and its prolonged effects should help in maintaining the quality of life of patients with dry eye. We previously reported that the oral administration of rebamipide (Reb), a mucosal protective agent, had a potent therapeutic effect on autoimmune lesions in a murine model of Sjögren's syndrome (SS). However, the effects of topical treatment with Reb eyedrops on the ocular lesions in the murine model of SS are unknown. Reb eyedrops were administered to the murine model of SS aged 4-8 weeks four times daily. Inflammatory lesions of the extraorbital and intraorbital lacrimal glands and Harderian gland tissues were histologically evaluated. The direct effects of Reb on the lacrimal glands were analyzed using cultured lacrimal gland cells. Tear secretions of Reb-treated mice were significantly increased compared with those of untreated mice. In addition to the therapeutic effect of Reb treatment on keratoconjunctivitis, severe inflammatory lesions of intraorbital lacrimal gland tissues in this model of SS were resolved. The mRNA expression levels of IL-10 and mucin 5Ac in conjunctival tissues from Reb-treated mice was significantly increased compared with those of control mice. Moreover, lactoferrin production from lacrimal gland cells was restored by Reb treatment. Topical Reb administration had an anti-inflammatory effect on the ocular autoimmune lesions in the murine model of SS and a protective effect on the ocular surfaces.

A critical role for thymic stromal lymphopoietin in nickel-induced allergy in mice.,
The Journal of Immunology, Vol.192, No.9, 4025-4031, 2014.

(要約): Ni is the most frequent cause of contact allergy induced by metals. However, the underlying mechanism of this induction is unknown. Our previous research demonstrates that activation of dendritic cells (DCs) through p38MAPK/MKK6 is required for Ni-induced allergy in mice. In the current study, we investigated the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying Ni-induced allergy using a mouse model that involves injecting Ni into the ear, with or without Freund's incomplete or complete adjuvants. Nickel had greater potential to cause allergic reactions compared with palladium and gold. Among the proteins expressed at higher levels in mice with Ni-induced allergy, we focused on thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), which is produced in abundance by keratinocytes. We detected increased expression of the TSLP receptor (TSLPR) in DCs from cervical lymph nodes of mice with Ni-induced allergy, suggesting that DCs in ear tissues were activated through TSLPR signaling induced by keratinocyte-derived TSLP. Furthermore, delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions in mice with Ni-induced allergy were decreased significantly by injection of a Tslp-short interfering RNA along with atelocollagen in the ear skin. These results suggest that Ni allergy may be triggered by a TSLP/TSLPR-mediated interaction between epithelial and immune cells.

Gimap3 and Gimap5 cooperate to maintain T-cell numbers in the mouse.,
European Journal of Immunology, Vol.44, No.2, 561-572, 2014.

(要約): Gimap3 (IAN4) and Gimap5 (IAN5) are highly homologous GTP-binding proteins of the Gimap family. Gimap3 and Gimap5, whose transcripts are abundant in mature lymphocytes, can associate with antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins. While it is established that Gimap5 regulates T-cell survival, the in vivo role of Gimap3 is unclear. Here we report the preparation and characteristics of mouse strains lacking Gimap3 and/or Gimap5. We found that the number of T cells was markedly reduced in mice deficient in both Gimap3 and Gimap5. The defects in T-cell cellularity were more severe in mice lacking both Gimap3 and Gimap5 than in mice lacking only Gimap5. No defects in the cellularity of T cells were detected in mice lacking only Gimap3, whereas bone marrow cells from Gimap3-deficient mice showed reduced T-cell production in a competitive hematopoietic environment. Moreover, retroviral overexpression and short hairpin RNAs-mediated silencing of Gimap3 in bone marrow cells elevated and reduced, respectively, the number of T cells produced in irradiated mice. These results suggest that Gimap3 is a regulator of T-cell numbers in the mouse and that multiple Gimap family proteins cooperate to maintain T-cell survival.

Sjogren症候群患者の唾液腺腺房構造破壊阻止 : セファランチンの有効性に関する臨床病理学的研究,
日本口腔科学会雑誌, Vol.62, No.4, 254-261, 2013年.

(要約): Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is characterized by the eventual total replacement of the acinar structure by marked infiltration of lymphocytes into the salivary and lacrimal glands. We previously demonstrated that tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induced matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) production by the stimulating transcription factor, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), in human salivary gland acinar cells and that cepharanthin, a biscoclaurine alkaloid, prevented the activation of TNF-α-induced NF-κB activity. In addition, we have shown that cepharanthin prevented the destruction of acinar tissues in murine SS. Thus, in this study, we investigated the clinicopathological effect of cepharanthin on the patients with SS. Ten patients with a diagnosis of primary SS were enrolled in this study. They were treated with cepharanthin for three months, followed by the evaluation of salivary production, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), anti-SS-A antibody, anti-SS-B antibody, pathological examination of labial salivary gland biopsy specimens, and the symptom of drymouth. Average salivary production was 4.25ml/10minutes before the study. This average production increased to 6.46ml/10minutes after the study. There were no remarkable changes in CRP, ESR, anti-SS-A antibody and anti-SS-B antibody. In pathological findings, although the decreases in infiltration of lymphocytes were observed in 5 out of 5 cases, the reduction of destruction of acinar structures was clearly detected in 5 cases. Improvement of symptom of drymouth was detected in 7 out of 10 cases. These observations suggest that cepharanthin treatment might provide an efficient and useful therapeutic approach for countering the destruction of acinar tissue in salivary glands of patients with SS.

Selective enhancing effect of early mitotic inhibitor 1 depletion on the sensitivity of doxorubicin or X-ray treatment in human cancer cells.,
The Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013.

(要約): Chemotherapy and radiation in addition to surgery has proven useful in a number of different cancer types, but the effectiveness in normal tissue cannot be avoided in these therapies. To improve the effectiveness of these therapies selectively in cancer tissue is important for avoiding side-effects. Early mitotic inhibitor 1 (Emi1) is known to have the function to inhibit anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) ubiquitin ligase complex, which ubiquitylates the cell cycle related proteins. It recently has been shown that Emi1 knockdown prevents transition from S to G2 phase by downregulating geminin via APC/C activation. At present anticancer drugs for targeting DNA synthesis to interfere with rapidly dividing cells commonly are used. As Emi1 depletion interferes with completion of DNA synthesis in cancer cells, we thought that Emi1 knockdown might enhance the sensitivity for anticancer agents. Here we confirmed that Emi1 siRNA induced polyploidy for preventing transition from S to G2 phase in several cancer cell lines. Then, we treated Emi1 depleted cells with doxorubicin. Interestingly, increased apoptotic cells were observed after doxorubicin treatment in Emi1 siRNA treated cancer cells. In addition, Emi1 depletion enhanced the sensitivity of X-rays irradiation in cancer cells. Importantly, synergistic effect of Emi1 knockdown in these combination therapies was not observed in normal cells. These results suggest that Emi1 siRNA can be a useful tool for enhancing of sensitivity of cancer cells to anticancer reagents and radiation.

Effects of Free Fatty Acids on Human Salivary Gland Epithelial Cells.,
Journal of Dental Research, Vol.92, No.6, 540-546, 2013.

(要約): Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are characterized by decreased insulin sensitivity and higher concentrations of free fatty acids (FFAs) in plasma. Among FFAs, saturated fatty acids (SFAs), such as palmitate, have been proposed to promote inflammatory responses. Primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammatory mononuclear cell infiltration and destruction of epithelial cells in the salivary and lacrimal glands. IL-6 production and -fodrin degradation are increased in salivary gland epithelial cells of patients with primary SS. Although previous studies have shown a link between SS and either dyslipidemia or T2D, little is known about the clinical significance of FFAs in primary SS. Here we report that SFAs, but not unsaturated fatty acids, induced IL-6 production via NF-B and p38 MAPK activation in human salivary gland epithelial cells. Moreover, palmitate induced apoptosis and -fodrin degradation by caspase-3 activation. Unlike salivary gland epithelial cells, induction of IL-6 production and the degradation of -fodrin in response to palmitate were undetectable in squamous carcinoma cells and keratinocytes. Taken together, SFAs induced IL-6 production and -fodrin degradation in salivary gland epithelial cells, implicating a potential link between the pathogenesis of primary SS and SFAs level in plasma.

Induction of Rapid T Cell Death and Phagocytic Activity by Fas-Deficient lpr Macrophages.,
The Journal of Immunology, 2013.

(要約): Peripheral T cells are maintained by the apoptosis of activated T cells through the Fas-Fas ligand system. Although it is well known that normal T cells fail to survive in the Fas-deficient immune condition, the molecular mechanism for the phenomenon has yet to be elucidated. In this study, we demonstrate that rapid cell death and clearance of normal T cells were induced by Fas-deficient lpr macrophages. Transfer of normal T cells into lpr mice revealed that Fas expression on donor T cells was promptly enhanced through the IFN-/IFN-R. In addition, Fas ligand expression and phagocytic activity of lpr macrophages were promoted through increased NF-B activation. Controlling Fas expression on macrophages plays an essential role in maintaining T cell homeostasis in the peripheral immune system. Our data suggest a critical implication to the therapeutic strategies such as transplantation and immunotherapy for immune disorder or autoimmunity related to abnormal Fas expression.

Aurora-A controls pre-replicative complex assembly and DNA replication by stabilizing geminin in mitosis.,
Nature Communications, Vol.4, 2013.

(要約): Geminin, an essential factor for DNA replication, directly binds to the licensing factor Cdt1 and inhibits pre-replicative complex formation to prevent re-replication. In G1, geminin levels are controlled by the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) ubiquitin ligase complex, which targets geminin for proteasomal degradation to allow pre-replicative complex formation. Conversely, from S to G2, geminin is stabilized due to APC/C ubiquitin ligase complex inhibition, ensuring the inhibition of pre-replicative complex formation. However, mitotic regulation of geminin has hitherto not been described. Here we show that Aurora-A phosphorylates geminin on Thr25 during M phase, and this event induces geminin stabilization by preventing its APC/C ubiquitin ligase complex-mediated degradation during mitosis. In turn, stabilized geminin inhibits SCF(Skp2)-mediated degradation of Cdt1 to ensure pre-replicative complex formation in the ensuing S phase. The Aurora-A-geminin-Cdt1 axis therefore represents a critical regulator of proper DNA replication.

Fas-Independent T-Cell Apoptosis by Dendritic Cells Controls Autoimmune Arthritis in MRL/lpr Mice,
PLoS ONE, Vol.7, No.12, e48798, 2012.

(要約): BACKGROUND: Although autoimmunity in MRL/lpr mice occurs due to a defect in Fas-mediated cell death of T cells, the role of Fas-independent apoptosis in pathogenesis has rarely been investigated. We have recently reported that receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-B ligand (RANKL)-activated dendritic cells (DCs) play a key role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in MRL/lpr mice. We here attempted to establish a new therapeutic strategy with RANKL-activated DCs in RA by controlling apoptosis of peripheral T cells. Repeated transfer of RANKL-activated DCs into MRL/lpr mice was tested to determine whether this had a therapeutic effect on autoimmunity. METHODS AND FINDING: Cellular and molecular mechanisms of Fas-independent apoptosis of T cells induced by the DCs were investigated by in vitro and in vivo analyses. We demonstrated that repeated transfers of RANKL-activated DCs into MRL/lpr mice resulted in therapeutic effects on RA lesions and lymphoproliferation due to declines of CD4(+) T, B, and CD4(-)CD8(-) double negative (DN) T cells. We also found that the Fas-independent T-cell apoptosis was induced by a direct interaction between tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand-receptor 2 (TRAIL-R2) on T cells and TRAIL on Fas-deficient DCs in MRL/lpr mice. CONCLUSION: These results strongly suggest that a novel Fas-independent apoptosis pathway in T cells maintains peripheral tolerance and thus controls autoimmunity in MRL/lpr mice.

(要約): Giant cell epulis (peripheral giant cell granuloma) is a granuloma consisting of a large number of multinucleated giant cells. Its incidence is high in Europe and the United States, but is very low in Japan. Giant cell epulis accompanied by bone formation is extremely rare in Japan. We report a case of giant cell epulis accompanied by bone formation. A 46-year-old woman visited our hospital because of a mass in the left mandibular molar region. There was a well-demarcated, pedunculated mass in the left mandibular molar region. The mass was excised under the clinical diagnosis of epulis. Histopathologically, the resected specimen consisted of spindle cells resembling fibroblasts and many multinucleated giant cells. Moreover, newly synthesized bone was observed in the center of the mass. The pathological diagnosis was a giant cell granuloma. Two years six months after the operation, there has been no evidence of recurrence.

Matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) directly and indirectly promotes tumor angiogenesis.,
The Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2012.

(要約): Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are extracellular zinc-dependent endopeptidases involved in the degradation and remodeling of extracellular matrix (ECM) in physiological and pathological processes. MMPs also have a role in cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, angiogenesis and apoptosis. We previously identified cancer invasion-related factors by comparing the gene expression profiles between parent and highly invasive clone of cancer cells. Matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) was identified as a common upregulated gene by cancer invasion-related factors. Although MMP-13 slightly promoted tumor invasion, we found that MMP-13 was involved in tumor angiogenesis. Conditioned media from MMP-13-overexpressing cells promoted capillary formation of immortalized human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Furthermore, treatment with recombinant MMP-13 protein enhanced capillary tube formation both in vitro and in vivo. MMP-13-promoted capillary tube formation was mediated by activation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and ERK. Interestingly, MMP-13 promoted the secretion of VEGF-A from fibroblasts and endothelial cells. By immunohistochemical analysis, we found a possible correlation between MMP-13 expression and the number of blood vessels in human cancer cases. In summary, these findings suggest that MMP-13 may directly and indirectly promote tumor angiogenesis.

CCR7 with S1P1 signaling through AP-1 for migration of Foxp3+ regulatory T-cells controls autoimmune exocrinopathy.,
The American Journal of Pathology, Vol.180, No.1, 199-208, 2012.

(要約): Forkhead box p3-positive (Foxp3(+)) regulatory T cells (T(reg) cells) participate in maintaining peripheral immune tolerance and suppressing autoimmunity. We recently reported that in situ patrolling by C-C-chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7)(+) T(reg) cells in target organs is essential for controlling autoimmune lesions in Sjögren's syndrome. In the present study, the molecular mechanism underlying CCR7-mediated T(reg) cell migration was investigated in a mouse model. The impaired migratory response of Ccr7(-/-) T(reg) cells to sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) occurred because of defective association of S1P receptor 1 (S1P(1)) with a G coupled-protein. In addition, T-cell receptor (TCR)- and S1P(1)-mediated Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac-1), extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK), and c-Jun phosphorylation required for activator protein 1 (AP-1) transcriptional activity were significantly impaired in Ccr7(-/-) T(reg) cells. Surprisingly, the abnormal nuclear localization of Foxp3 was detected after abrogation of the c-Jun and Foxp3 interaction in the nucleus of Ccr7(-/-) T(reg) cells. These results indicate that CCR7 essentially controls the migratory function of T(reg) cells through S1P(1)-mediated AP-1 signaling, which is regulated through its interaction with Foxp3 in the nucleus.

A Novel DC Therapy with Manipulation of MKK6 Gene on Nickel Allergy in Mice,
PLoS ONE, Vol.6, No.4, E19017, 2011.

(要約): BACKGROUND: Although the activation of dermal dendritic cells (DCs) or Langerhans cells (LCs) via p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of metal allergy, the in vivo molecular mechanisms have not been identified and a possible therapeutic strategy using the control of dermal DCs or LCs has not been established. In this study, we focused on dermal DCs to define the in vivo mechanisms of metal allergy pathogenesis in a mouse nickel (Ni) allergy model. The effects of DC therapy on Ni allergic responses were also investigated. METHODS AND FINDING: The activation of dermal DCs via p38 MAPK triggered a T cell-mediated allergic immune response in this model. In the MAPK signaling cascade in DCs, Ni potently phosphorylated MAP kinase kinase 6 (MKK6) following increased DC activation. Ni-stimulated DCs could prime T cell activation to induce Ni allergy. Interestingly, when MKK6 gene-transfected DCs were transferred into the model mice, a more pronounced allergic reaction was observed. In addition, injection of short interfering (si) RNA targeting the MKK6 gene protected against a hypersensitivity reaction after Ni immunization. The cooperative action between T cell activation and MKK6-mediated DC activation by Ni played an important role in the development of Ni allergy. CONCLUSIONS: DC activation by Ni played an important role in the development of Ni allergy. Manipulating the MKK6 gene in DCs may be a good therapeutic strategy for dermal Ni allergy.

Ex-vivo expanded DC induce donor-specific central and peripheral tolerance and prolong the acceptance of donor skin allografts.,
Blood, Vol.117, No.9, 2640-2648, 2011.

(要約): Dendritic cells (DCs) are known to regulate immune responses by inducing both central and peripheral tolerance. DCs play a vital role in negative selection of developing thymocytes by deleting T cells with high-affinity for self-peptide-major histocompatibility complexes. In the periphery, DCs mediate peripheral tolerance by promoting regulatory T-cell development, induction of T-cell unresponsiveness, and deletion of activated T cells. We studied whether allogeneic DCs, obtained from bone marrow cultured with either Flt3L (FLDCs) or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMDCs), could induce allospecific central and peripheral tolerance after IV injection; B cells were used as a control. The results showed that only FLDCs reached the thymus after injection and that these cells induced both central and peripheral tolerance to donor major histocompatibility complexes. For central tolerance, injection of FLDCs induced antigen-specific clonal deletion of both CD8 and CD4 single-positive thymocytes. For peripheral tolerance, injection of FLDCs induced donor-specific T-cell unresponsiveness and prolonged survival of donor-derived skin grafts. Tolerance induction by adoptive transfer of FLDCs could be a useful approach for promoting graft acceptance after organ transplantation.

Aire-dependent production of XCL1 mediates medullary accumulation of thymic dendritic cells and contributes to regulatory T cell development,
The Journal of Experimental Medicine, Vol.208, No.2, 383-394, 2011.

(要約): Dendritic cells (DCs) in the thymus (tDCs) are predominantly accumulated in the medulla and contribute to the establishment of self-tolerance. However, how the medullary accumulation of tDCs is regulated and involved in self-tolerance is unclear. We show that the chemokine receptor XCR1 is expressed by tDCs, whereas medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) express the ligand XCL1. XCL1-deficient mice are defective in the medullary accumulation of tDCs and the thymic generation of naturally occurring regulatory T cells (nT reg cells). Thymocytes from XCL1-deficient mice elicit dacryoadenitis in nude mice. mTEC expression of XCL1, tDC medullary accumulation, and nT reg cell generation are diminished in Aire-deficient mice. These results indicate that the XCL1-mediated medullary accumulation of tDCs contributes to nT reg cell development and is regulated by Aire.

Atelocollagen-mediated systemic administration of myostatin-targeting siRNA improves muscular atrophy in caveolin-3-deficient mice.,
Development Growth & Differentiation, Vol.53, No.1, 48-54, 2011.

(要約): Small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated silencing of gene expression is rapidly becoming a powerful tool for molecular therapy. However, the rapid degradation of siRNAs and their limited duration of activity require efficient delivery methods. Atelocollagen (ATCOL)-mediated administration of siRNAs is a promising approach to disease treatment, including muscular atrophy. Herein, we report that ATCOL-mediated systemic administration of a myostatin-targeting siRNA into a caveolin-3-deficient mouse model of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 1C (LGMD1C) induced a marked increase in muscle mass and a significant recovery of contractile force. These results provide evidence that ATCOL-mediated systemic administration of siRNAs may be a powerful therapeutic tool for disease treatment, including muscular atrophy.

Delivery of small interfering RNA with a synthetic collagen poly(Pro-Hyp-Gly) for gene silencing in vitro and in vivo.,
Development Growth & Differentiation, Vol.52, No.8, 693-699, 2010.

(要約): Silencing gene expression by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) has become a powerful tool for the genetic analysis of many animals. However, the rapid degradation of siRNA and the limited duration of its action in vivo have called for an efficient delivery technology. Here, we describe that siRNA complexed with a synthetic collagen poly(Pro-Hyp-Gly) (SYCOL) is resistant to nucleases and is efficiently transferred into cells in vitro and in vivo, thereby allowing long-term gene silencing in vivo. We found that the SYCOL-mediated local application of siRNA targeting myostatin, coding a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth, in mouse skeletal muscles, caused a marked increase in the muscle mass within a few weeks after application. Furthermore, in vivo administration of an anti-luciferase siRNA/SYCOL complex partially reduced luciferase expression in xenografted tumors in vivo. These results indicate a SYCOL-based non-viral delivery method could be a reliable simple approach to knockdown gene expression by RNAi in vivo as well as in vitro.

Inflammatory disease and cancer with a decrease in Kupffer cell numbers in Nucling-knockout mice.,
International Journal of Cancer, Vol.126, No.5, 1079-1094, 2010.

(要約): Nucling is a stress-inducible protein associated with apoptosomes. The cytochrome c-triggered formation of apoptosomes represents a key-initiating event in apoptosis. We have recently reported that Nucling regulates the apoptotic pathway by controlling the activation of NF-kappaB as well. Here we show that hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) arising spontaneously against a background of hepatitis occurred more frequently in Nucling-knockout (KO) mice than wild-type (WT) mice. Biochemical serum testing revealed potential liver dysfunction with hypercholesterolemia in Nucling-KO males. In the background of Nucling-KO mice, we observed the up-regulation of TNFalpha, spontaneous NF-kappaB-activation and the induction of galectin-3 expression in liver. In addition, we observed a decrease in the number of Kupffer cells (KCs) in the KO mice. KCs are important for the hepatic immune system, acting as phagocytes or antigen-presenting cells (APCs). We found that KCs in Nucling-KO mice were apoptotic possibly through the up-regulation of TNFalpha. These observations indicate that Nucling is important for the regulation of NF-kappaB signals in liver. We propose that Nucling deficiency could be a powerful tool to reveal the NF-kappaB-related molecular networks leading to hepatitis and HCC development.

In situ Patrolling of Regulatory T cells is Essential for Protecting Autoimmune Exocrinopathy,
PLoS ONE, Vol.5, No.1, e8588, 2010.

(要約): Migration of T cells, including regulatory T (Treg) cells, into the secondary lymph organs is critically controlled by chemokines and adhesion molecules. However, the mechanisms by which Treg cells regulate organ-specific autoimmunity via these molecules remain unclear. Although we previously reported autoimmune exocrinopathy resembling Sjögren's syndrome (SS) in the lacrimal and salivary glands from C-C chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7)-deficient mice, it is still unclear whether CCR7 signaling might specifically affect the dynamics and functions of Treg cells in vivo. We therefore investigated the cellular mechanism for suppressive function of Treg cells via CCR7 in autoimmunity using mouse models and human samples. Patrolling Treg cells were detected in the exocrine organs such as lacrimal and salivary glands from normal mice that tend to be targets for autoimmunity while the Treg cells were almost undetectable in the exocrine glands of CCR7(-/-) mice. In addition, we found the significantly increased retention of CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) Treg cells in the lymph nodes of CCR7(-/-) mice with aging. Although Treg cell egress requires sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), chemotactic function to S1P of CCR7-/- Treg cells was impaired compared with that of WT Treg cells. Moreover, the in vivo suppression activity was remarkably diminished in CCR7(-/-) Treg cells in the model where Treg cells were co-transferred with CCR7(-/-) CD25(-)CD4(+) T cells into Rag2(-/-) mice. Finally, confocal analysis showed that CCR7(+)Treg cells were detectable in normal salivary glands while the number of CCR7(+)Treg cells was extremely decreased in the tissues from patients with Sjögren's syndrome. These results indicate that CCR7 essentially governs the patrolling functions of Treg cells by controlling the traffic to the exocrine organs for protecting autoimmunity. Characterization of this cellular mechanism could have clinical implications by supporting development of new diagnosis or treatments for the organ-specific autoimmune diseases such as Sjögren's syndrome and clarifying how the local immune system regulates autoimmunity.

Cathepsin L inhivition prevents murine autoimmune diabetes via suppression of CD⁸⁺ T cell activity.,
PLoS ONE, Vol.5, No.9, e12894, 2010.

(要約): Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease resulting from defects in central and peripheral tolerance and characterized by T cell-mediated destruction of islet β cells. To determine whether specific lysosomal proteases might influence the outcome of a T cell-mediated autoimmune response, we examined the functional significance of cathepsin inhibition on autoimmune T1D-prone non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice. Here it was found that specific inhibition of cathepsin L affords strong protection from cyclophosphamide (CY)-induced insulitis and diabetes of NOD mice at the advanced stage of CD8(+) T cell infiltration via inhibiting granzyme activity. It was discovered that cathepsin L inhibition prevents cytotoxic activity of CD8(+) T cells in the pancreatic islets through controlling dipeptidyl peptidase I activity. Moreover, the gene targeting for cathepsin L with application of in vivo siRNA administration successfully prevented CY-induced diabetes of NOD mice. Finally, cathepsin L mRNA expression of peripheral CD8(+) T cells from NOD mice developing spontaneous T1D was significantly increased compared with that from control mice. Our results identified a novel function of cathepsin L as an enzyme whose activity is essential for the progression of CD8(+) T cell-mediated autoimmune diabetes, and inhibition of cathepsin L as a powerful therapeutic strategy for autoimmune diabetes.

Thymoproteasome shapes immunocompetent repertoire of CD8⁺ T cells.,
Immunity, Vol.32, No.1, 29-40, 2010.

(要約): How self-peptides displayed in the thymus contribute to the development of immunocompetent and self-protective T cells is largely unknown. In contrast, the role of thymic self-peptides in eliminating self-reactive T cells and thereby preventing autoimmunity is well established. A type of proteasome, termed thymoproteasome, is specifically expressed by thymic cortical epithelial cells (cTECs) and is required for the generation of optimal cellularity of CD8+ T cells. Here, we show that cTECs displayed thymoproteasome-specific peptide-MHC class I complexes essential for the positive selection of major and diverse repertoire of MHC class I-restricted T cells. CD8+ T cells generated in the absence of thymoproteasomes displayed a markedly altered T cell receptor repertoire that was defective in both allogeneic and antiviral responses. These results demonstrate that thymoproteasome-dependent self-peptide production is required for the development of an immunocompetent repertoire of CD8+ T cells.

Salivary gland and autoimmunity,
The Journal of Medical Investigation : JMI, Vol.56, 185-191, 2009.

(要約): Recent evidences suggest that the apoptotic pathway plays a central role in tolerazing T cells to tissue-specific self antigen, and may drive the autoimmune phenomenon in the salivary glands. We found that retinoblastoma-associated protein RbAp48 overexpression induces p53-mediated apoptosis in the salivary glands caused by estrogen deficiency. We demonstrated that transgenic (Tg) expression of RbAp48 resulted in the development of autoimmune exocrinopathy resembling Sjögren's syndrome (SS). CD4(+)T cell-mediated autoimmune lesions in the salivary glands were aggravated with age, in association with autoantibody productions. We obtained evidences that salivary epithelial cells can produce interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) besides interleukin (IL)-18, which activates interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1), and class II transactivator (CIITA). Indeed, the autoimmune lesions into Rag2(-/-) mice were induced by the adoptive transfer of lymph node cells from RbAp48-Tg mice. These results indicate a novel immunocompetent role of epithelial cells that can produce IFN-gamma, resulting in loss of local tolerance prior to developing gender-based autoimmunity. The studies reviewed the molecular mechanisms on the development of salivary gland autoimmunity, and gender-related differences in SS.

Real-time in vivo imaging of p16Ink4a reveals cross-talk with p53,
The Journal of Cell Biology, Vol.186, No.3, 393-407, 2009.

(要約): Expression of the p16(Ink4a) tumor suppressor gene, a sensor of oncogenic stress, is up-regulated by a variety of potentially oncogenic stimuli in cultured primary cells. However, because p16(Ink4a) expression is also induced by tissue culture stress, physiological mechanisms regulating p16(Ink4a) expression remain unclear. To eliminate any potential problems arising from tissue culture-imposed stress, we used bioluminescence imaging for noninvasive and real-time analysis of p16(Ink4a) expression under various physiological conditions in living mice. In this study, we show that oncogenic insults such as ras activation provoke epigenetic derepression of p16(Ink4a) expression through reduction of DNMT1 (DNA methyl transferase 1) levels as a DNA damage response in vivo. This pathway is accelerated in the absence of p53, indicating that p53 normally holds the p16(Ink4a) response in check. These results unveil a backup tumor suppressor role for p16(Ink4a) in the event of p53 inactivation, expanding our understanding of how p16(Ink4a) expression is regulated in vivo.

YKL-40 secreted from adipose tissue inhibits degradation of type I collagen.,
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, Vol.388, No.3, 511-516, 2009.

(要約): Obesity is considered a chronic low-grade inflammatory status and the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells of adipose tissue (AT) are considered a source of inflammation-related molecules. We identified YKL-40 as a major protein secreted from SVF cells in human visceral AT. YKL-40 expression levels in SVF cells from visceral AT were higher than in those from subcutaneous AT. Immunofluorescence staining revealed that YKL-40 was exclusively expressed in macrophages among SVF cells. YKL-40 purified from SVF cells inhibited the degradation of type I collagen, a major extracellular matrix of AT, by matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and increased rate of fibril formation of type I collagen. The expression of MMP-1 in preadipocytes and macrophages was enhanced by interaction between these cells. These results suggest that macrophage/preadipocyte interaction enhances degradation of type I collagen in AT, meanwhile, YKL-40 secreted from macrophages infiltrating into AT inhibits the type I collagen degradation.

Neonatal Exposure to Loe-Dose 2.3.7.8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-Dioxin Causes Autoimmunity Due to the Disruption of TCell Tolerance1,
The Journal of Immunology, Vol.182, No.10, 6576-6586, 2009.

(要約): Although 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) has been shown to influence immune responses, the effects of low-dose TCDD on the development of autoimmunity are unclear. In this study, using NFS/sld mice as a model for human Sjögren's syndrome, in which the lesions are induced by the thymectomy on day 3 after birth, the autoimmune lesions in the salivary glands, and in later phase, inflammatory cell infiltrations in the other organs were developed by neonatal exposure to nonapoptotic dosage of TCDD without thymectomy on day 3 after birth. We found disruption of thymic selection, but not thymic atrophy, in TCDD-administered mice. The endogenous expression of aryl hydrocarbon receptor in the neonatal thymus was significantly higher than that in the adult thymus, suggesting that the neonatal thymus may be much more sensitive to TCDD compared with the adult thymus. In addition, the production of T(H)1 cytokines such as IL-2 and IFN-gamma from splenic CD4(+) T cells and the autoantibodies relevant for Sjögren's syndrome in the sera from TCDD-exposed mice were significantly increased compared with those in control mice. These results suggest that TCDD/aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling in the neonatal thymus plays an important role in the early thymic differentiation related to autoimmunity.

Role of Plasmacytoid Dendric Cells for Aberrant Class Expression in Exocrine Glands from Estrogen-Deficient Mice of healthy Background,
The American Journal of Pathology, Vol.174, No.5, 1715-1724, 2009.

(要約): Although it has been well documented that aberrant major histocompatibility complex class II molecules may contribute to the development of autoimmune disorders, the precise mechanisms responsible for their tissue-specific expression remain unknown. Here we show that estrogen deficiency induces aberrant class II major histocompatibility complex expression in exocrine glands via interactions between epithelial cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells. Relatively modest but functionally significant expression levels of major histocompatibility complex class II and class II transactivator molecules were observed in the exocrine glands of ovariectomized (Ovx) C57BL/6 (B6) mice, but were not seen in the exocrine glands of control B6 mice. We observed that the salivary dendritic cells adjacent to the apoptotic epithelial cells positive for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling, were activated in Ovx mice, but were not activated in control mice. We obtained evidence that the salivary gland cells express both interferon regulatory factor-1 and class II transactivator type IV molecules in Ovx mice. Salivary gland cells from Ovx mice were also capable of inducing the activation of antigen-specific T cells from OT-II transgenic mice. These findings indicate that estrogen deficiency initiates class II transactivator type IV mRNA expression in exocrine glands via interactions between epithelial cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells, suggesting that plasmacytoid dendritic cells play a pivotal role in gender-based autoimmune disorders in postmenopausal women.

Expression of the retinoblastoma protein RbAp48 in exocrine glands leads to Sjögren's syndrome-like autoimmune exocrinopathy.,
The Journal of Experimental Medicine, Vol.205, No.12, 2915-2927, 2008.

(要約): Although several autoimmune diseases are known to develop in postmenopausal women, the mechanisms by which estrogen deficiency influences autoimmunity remain unclear. Recently, we found that retinoblastoma-associated protein 48 (RbAp48) induces tissue-specific apoptosis in the exocrine glands depending on the level of estrogen deficiency. In this study, we report that transgenic (Tg) expression of RbAp48 resulted in the development of autoimmune exocrinopathy resembling Sjögren's syndrome. CD4(+) T cell-mediated autoimmune lesions were aggravated with age, in association with autoantibody productions. Surprisingly, we obtained evidence that salivary and lacrimal epithelial cells can produce interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) in addition to interleukin-18, which activates IFN regulatory factor-1 and class II transactivator. Indeed, autoimmune lesions in Rag2(-/-) mice were induced by the adoptive transfer of lymph node T cells from RbAp48-Tg mice. These results indicate a novel immunocompetent role of epithelial cells that can produce IFN-gamma, resulting in loss of local tolerance before developing gender-based autoimmunity.

The cytokine RANKL produced by positively selected thymocytes fosters medullary thymic epithelial cells that express autoimmune regulator.,
Immunity, Vol.29, No.3, 438-450, 2008.

(要約): The thymic medulla provides a microenvironment where medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) express autoimmune regulator and diverse tissue-restricted genes, contributing to launching self-tolerance. Positive selection is essential for thymic medulla formation via a previously unknown mechanism. Here we show that the cytokine RANK ligand (RANKL) was produced by positively selected thymocytes and regulated the cellularity of mTEC by interacting with RANK and osteoprotegerin. Forced expression of RANKL restored thymic medulla in mice lacking positive selection, whereas RANKL perturbation impaired medulla formation. These results indicate that RANKL produced by positively selected thymocytes is responsible for fostering thymic medulla formation, thereby establishing central tolerance.

ミクリッツ病3例の検討,
耳鼻咽喉科臨床, Vol.101, No.8, 591-597, 2008年.

(要約): We reported three cases of Mikuhcz's disease. Mikulicz's disease was diagnosed by the following criteria: 1) symmetrical enlargement of the lacrimal and salivary glands lasting at least 3 months', 2) the lacrimal and salivary glands were microscopically involved in the infiltration of inflammatory cells, 3) sarcoidosis and other lymphoproliferative diseases were excluded. Three patients with Mikulicz's disease were all characterized by elevated IgG4 concentration in the serum and prominent infiltration of IgG4-positive plasmacytes in the minor salivary glands. On the contrary, there were no findings indicating sicca syndrome or anti-SS-A and SS-B antibodies, which characterize Sjögren syndrome. It is suggested that Mikulicz's disease is an IgG4-related plasmacytec disease, with a pathogenesis differing from that of Sjögren syndrome.

Atelocollagen-mediated local and systemic applications of myostatin-targeting siRNA increase skeletal muscle mass.,
Gene Therapy, Vol.15, No.15, 1126-1130, 2008.

(要約): RNA interference (RNAi) offers a novel therapeutic strategy based on the highly specific and efficient silencing of a target gene. Since it relies on small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), a major issue is the delivery of therapeutically active siRNAs into the target tissue/target cells in vivo. For safety reasons, strategies based on vector delivery may be of only limited clinical use. The more desirable approach is to directly apply active siRNAs in vivo. Here, we report the effectiveness of in vivo siRNA delivery into skeletal muscles of normal or diseased mice through nanoparticle formation of chemically unmodified siRNAs with atelocollagen (ATCOL). ATCOL-mediated local application of siRNA targeting myostatin, a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth, in mouse skeletal muscles or intravenously, caused a marked increase in the muscle mass within a few weeks after application. These results imply that ATCOL-mediated application of siRNAs is a powerful tool for future therapeutic use for diseases including muscular atrophy.

Development of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Long-Evans Cinnamon Rats Based on CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Regulatory T Cell Dysfunction,
The Journal of Immunology, Vol.180, No.10, 6997-7008, 2008.

(要約): A mutant strain with defective thymic selection of the Long-Evans Cinnamon (LEC) rat was found to spontaneously develop inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-like colitis. The secretion of Th1-type cytokines including IFN-gamma and IL-2 from T cells of mesenteric lymph node cells (MLNs) and lamina propria mononuclear cells, but not spleen cells, in LEC rats was significantly increased more than that of the control Long-Evans Agouti rats through up-regulated expression of T-bet and phosphorylation of STAT-1 leading to NF-kappaB activation. In addition, the number of CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T (Treg) cells of the thymus, MLNs, and lamina propria mononuclear cells from LEC rats was significantly reduced, comparing with that of the control rats. Moreover, bone marrow cell transfer from LEC rats into irradiated control rats revealed significantly reduced CD25(+)Foxp3(+) Treg cells in thymus, spleen, and MLNs compared with those from control rats. Indeed, adoptive transfer with T cells of MLNs, not spleen cells, from LEC rats into SCID mice resulted in the development of inflammatory lesions resembling the IBD-like lesions observed in LEC rats. These results indicate that the dysfunction of the regulatory system controlled by Treg cells may play a crucial role in the development of IBD-like lesions through up-regulated T-bet, STAT-1, and NF-kappaB activation of peripheral T cells in LEC rats.

Effective Treatment With Oral Administration of Rebamipide in a Model of Sjogren's Syndrome,
Arthritis and Rheumatism, Vol.58, No.2, 389-400, 2008.

(要約): To determine whether oral administration of rebamipide, a mucosal protective agent, is effective in the treatment of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) in the NFS/sld mouse model of the disease. NFS/sld mice were given daily oral doses of rebamipide (0.3 mg/kg of body weight or 3 mg/kg) or vehicle alone starting from the age of 4 weeks to the age of 8 weeks. The volume of saliva and tears was monitored during and after treatment. After the final dose, histologic features of the tissues, TUNEL+ apoptotic duct cells in affected glands, T cell and cytokine function, and levels of immunoglobulin isotypes and serum autoantibodies were examined. The 3-mg/kg dose of rebamipide prevented the development of autoimmune lesions. The average volume of saliva in rebamipide-treated mice was significantly higher than that in control mice. We found decreased TUNEL+ apoptotic duct cells in the salivary and lacrimal glands of rebamipide-treated mice as compared with control mice. Rebamipide treatment suppressed the activation of CD4+ T cells and Th1 cytokines (interleukin-2, interferon-gamma) associated with impaired NF-kappaB activity. Production of serum autoantibodies, IgM, and IgG1 was clearly inhibited. Our findings demonstrate the efficacy of oral administration of rebamipide in the treatment of SS. Rebamipide represents a new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of patients with sicca symptoms caused by SS, as well as for patients with other diseases.

Possible involvement of stem cell factor and endothelin-1 in the emergence of pigmented squamous cell carcinoma in oral mucosa.,
Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine, Vol.36, No.10, 621-624, 2007.

(要約): We present here the clinical, morphological and immunohistochemical features of a pigmented squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the oral mucosa of the hard palate of a 76-year-old Japanese man. He underwent a partial resection of the maxilla subsequent to radiotherapy. The tumor was typical, moderately well-differentiated SCC but had many melanocytes (melanocytosis) within it. Immunohistochemical analysis for stem cell factor (SCF) and endothelin-1, both of which are known to stimulate proliferation and differentiation of melanocytes, revealed prominent expression of both factors in the neoplastic squamous cells of the pigmented SCC, while the non-pigmented oral SCC showed little sign of either factor. These findings strongly suggest that SCF and endothelin-1 secreted by neoplasmic squamous cells are involved in the emergence of a rare variant of oral SCC.

Visualizing the dynamics of p21 (Wafl/Cip1)cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor expression in living animals.,
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol.104, No.38, 15034-15039, 2007.

(要約): Although the role of p21(Waf1/Cip1) gene expression is well documented in various cell culture studies, its in vivo roles are poorly understood. To gain further insight into the role of p21(Waf1/Cip1) gene expression in vivo, we attempted to visualize the dynamics of p21(Waf1/Cip1) gene expression in living animals. In this study, we established a transgenic mice line (p21-p-luc) expressing the firefly luciferase under the control of the p21(Waf1/Cip1) gene promoter. In conjunction with a noninvasive bioluminescent imaging technique, p21-p-luc mice enabled us to monitor the endogenous p21(Waf1/Cip1) gene expression in vivo. By monitoring and quantifying the p21(Waf1/Cip1) gene expression repeatedly in the same mouse throughout its entire lifespan, we were able to unveil the dynamics of p21(Waf1/Cip1) gene expression in the aging process. We also applied this system to chemically induced skin carcinogenesis and found that the levels of p21(Waf1/Cip1) gene expression rise dramatically in benign skin papillomas, suggesting that p21(Waf1/Cip1) plays a preventative role(s) in skin tumor formation. Surprisingly, moreover, we found that the level of p21(Waf1/Cip1) expression strikingly increased in the hair bulb and oscillated with a 3-week period correlating with hair follicle cycle progression. Notably, this was accompanied by the expression of p63 but not p53. This approach, together with the analysis of p21(Waf1/Cip1) knockout mice, has uncovered a novel role for the p21(Waf1/Cip1) gene in hair development. These data illustrate the unique utility of bioluminescence imaging in advancing our understanding of the timing and, hence, likely roles of specific gene expression in higher eukaryotes.

Crosstalk between RANKL and Fas signaling in dendritic cells controls immune tolerance,
Blood, Vol.110, No.1, 242-250, 2007.

(要約): Although receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB ligand (RANKL) signaling has been shown to prolong the survival of mature dendritic cells (DCs), the association of RANKL pathway with Fas-mediated apoptosis is obscure. Here, we found that bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs) from the Fas-deficient strain MRL/lpr mice, could survive much longer than normal DCs. The expressions of Bcl-x and Bcl-2 and the nuclear transport of NF-kappaB of RANKL-stimulated BMDCs from MRL/lpr mice were significantly up-regulated. By contrast, Fas expression of BMDCs from normal C57BL/6 and MRL(+/+) mice was increased by RANKL stimulation, and an enhanced DC apoptosis was found when stimulated with both RANKL and anti-Fas mAb, which was associated with activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9. Furthermore, the expression of FLIP(L), an inhibitory molecule against Fas-mediated apoptosis, in normal DCs was significantly decreased by RANKL and anti-Fas mAb. Indeed, the adoptive transfer of RANKL-stimulated DCs resulted in rapid acceleration of autoimmunity in MRL/lpr recipients. These findings indicate that the crosstalk between RANKL and Fas signaling in DCs might control immune tolerance.

Regulation of naive T cell function by the NF-κB2 pathway,
Nature Immunology, Vol.7, No.7, 763-772, 2006.

(要約): T cell activation involves the orchestration of several signaling pathways, including that of the 'classical' transcription factor NF-kappaB components NF-kappaB1-RelA. The function of the 'nonclassical' NF-kappaB2-RelB pathway is less clear, although T cells lacking components of this pathway have activation defects. Here we show that mice deficient in NF-kappaB-inducing kinase have a complex phenotype consisting of immunosuppression mediated by CD25(-)Foxp3(-) memory CD4(+) cells and, in the absence of those cells, hyper-responsive naive CD4(+) T cells, which caused autoimmune lesions after adoptive transfer into hosts deficient in recombination-activating genes. Biochemical studies indicated involvement of a cell-intrinsic mechanism in which NF-kappaB2 (p100) limits nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB1-RelA and thereby functions as a regulatory 'brake' for the activation of naive T cells.

A novel apoptosis cascade mediated by lysosomal lactoferrin and its participation in hepatocyte apoptosis induced by D-galactosamine.,
FEBS Letters, Vol.580, No.15, 3699-3705, 2006.

(要約): A new apoptosis cascade mediated by lysosomal lactoferrin was found in apoptotic liver induced by d-galactosamine. Caspase-3 and lactoferrin were increased in the apoptotic liver cytoplasm and serum transaminases were elevated. Recombinant lactoferrin stimulated procaspase-3 processing at 10(-6)-10(-7)M to an extent similar to that by granzyme B in vitro. Lactoferrin changed procaspase-3 structure susceptible to the processing. Synthetic peptide Y(679)-K(695) in lactoferrin molecule inhibited the processing of procaspase-3 by lactoferrin. Lactoferrin in lysosomes was decreased and lactoferrin released into cytoplasm was increased quantitatively in d-galactosamine induced apoptotic liver, and procaspase-3 in cytoplasm was processed to caspase-3.

Cepharanthin,a biscoclaurine alkaloid,prevents destruction of acinar tissues in murine Sjogren's syndrome.,
The Journal of Rheumatology, Vol.33, No.5, 912-920, 2006.

(要約): Our previous study suggested that suppression by cepharanthin of tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a)-induced matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) could prevent destruction of the acinar structure in the salivary glands of patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS). In this study, we observed that in vivo administration of cepharanthin prevented severe damage to acinar tissues in the murine model of human SS. Cepharanthin was intraperitoneally administered to thymectomized female NFS/sld mice. Inflammatory lesions in the salivary and lacrimal glands were then examined histologically. Expression of phosphorylated IkB-a, MMP-9, and type IV collagen was analyzed immunohistochemically. The apoptotic cell death of acinar cells was determined. Although extensive mononuclear cell infiltration and destruction of acinar tissue in salivary and lacrimal glands were observed in control mice, significant improvement of these lesions was evident in mice treated with cepharanthin. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that p65, phosphorylated IkB-a, and MMP-9 were more strongly stained in the acinar cells of control mice than in cepharanthin-treated mice. Although no staining for type IV collagen was observed in the acinar tissues of control mice, continuity of staining for type IV collagen was observed in acinar tissues of cepharanthin-treated mice. Destruction of acinar tissues was attributed to the induction of apoptosis, suggesting that cepharanthin inhibits apoptosis by suppressing phosphorylation of IkB-a, followed by prevention of MMP-9 activation. Our findings suggest that cepharanthin may be a promising agent for use in preventing destruction of acinar tissues in murine SS.

Ubiqitin Ligase Cbl-b Downregulates Bone Formation Through Suppression of IGF-I Signaling in Osteoblasts During Denervation,
Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, Vol.21, No.5, 722-734, 2006.

(要約): Unloading can prevent bone formation by osteoblasts. To study this mechanism, we focused on a ubiquitin ligase, Cbl-b, which was highly expressed in osteoblastic cells during denervation. Our results suggest that Cbl-b may mediate denervation-induced osteopenia by inhibiting IGF-I signaling in osteoblasts. Unloading, such as denervation (sciatic neurectomy) and spaceflight, suppresses bone formation by osteoblasts, leading to osteopenia. The resistance of osteoblasts to growth factors contributes to such unloading-mediated osteopenia. However, a detailed mechanism of this resistance is unknown. We first found that a RING-type ubiquitin ligase, Cbl-b, was highly expressed in osteoblastic cells after sciatic neurectomy in mice. In this study, we reasoned that Cbl-b played an important role in the resistance of osteoblasts to IGF-I. Cbl-b-deficient (Cbl-b(-/-)) or wildtype (Cbl-b(+/+)) mice were subjected to sciatic neurectomy. Bone formation in these mice was assessed by calcein labeling and histomorphometric analyses. We examined IGF-I signaling molecules in femora of these mice by Western blot and immunohistochemical analyses. We also examined the mitogenic response of Cbl-b-overexpressing or -deficient osteoblastic cells to various growth factors. In Cbl-b(+/+) mice, denervation decreased femur mass and bone formation, whereas it increased the expression of Cbl-b protein in osteoprogenitor cells and in osteocalcin-positive cells (osteoblastic cells) in hindlimb bone. In contrast, in Cbl-b(-/-) mice, bone mass and bone formation were sustained during denervation. Denervation inhibited the mitogenic response of osteoprogenitor cells most significantly to IGF-I. Therefore, we focused on Cbl-b-mediated modification of IGF-I signaling. Denervation decreased the amounts of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), phosphatidly inositol 3-phosphate kinase (PI3K), and Akt-1 proteins in femora of Cbl-b(+/+) mice, whereas the amounts of these IGF-I signaling molecules in femora of Cbl-b(-/-) mice were constant after denervation. On a cellular level, primary osteoblastic cells from Cbl-b(-/-) mice were more stimulated to proliferate by IGF-I treatment compared with those from Cbl-b(+/+) mice. Furthermore, overexpression of Cbl-b increased ubiquitination and degradation of IRS-1 in primary Cbl-b(-/-) osteoblastic cells, leading to their impaired mitogenic response to IGF-I. These results suggest that Cbl-b induces resistance of osteoblasts to IGF-I during denervation by increasing IRS-1 degradation and that Cbl-b-mediated modification of IGF-I signaling may contribute to decreased bone formation during denervation.

Novel role for RbAp48 in tissue-specific,estrogen deficiency-dependent apoptosis in the exocrine glands.,
Molecular and Cellular Biology, Vol.26, No.8, 2924-2935, 2006.

(要約): Although tissue-specific apoptosis in the exocrine glands in estrogen-deficient mice may contribute to the development of autoimmune exocrinopathy, the molecular mechanism responsible for tissue-specific apoptosis remains obscure. Here we show that RbAp48 overexpression induces p53-mediated apoptosis in the exocrine glands caused by estrogen deficiency. RbAp48-inducible transfectant results in rapid apoptosis with p53 phosphorylation (Ser9) and alpha-fodrin cleavage. Reducing the expression of RbAp48 through small interfering RNA inhibits the apoptosis. Prominent RbAp48 expression with apoptosis was observed in the exocrine glands of C57BL/6 ovariectomized (OVX) mice but not in OVX estrogen receptor alpha(-/-), p53(-/-), and E2F-1(-/-) mice. Indeed, transgenic expression of the RbAp48 gene induced apoptosis in the exocrine glands but not in other organs. These findings indicate that estrogen deficiency initiates p53-mediated apoptosis in the exocrine gland cells through RbAp48 overexpression and exerts a possible gender-based risk of autoimmune exocrinopathy in postmenopausal women.

Catechin derivatives:specific inhibitor for caspases-3,7and 2,and the prevention of apoptosis at the cell and animal levels.,
FEBS Letters, Vol.580, No.3, 741-746, 2006.

(要約): Tea-catechin derivatives are shown to inhibit activities of caspases-3, 2 and 7 in vitro, and prevented experimental apoptosis at the cell and animal levels. Epigallo-catechin-gallate showed the strongest inhibition at 1 x 10(-7)M to these caspases, but cysteine cathepsins and caspase-8 were not inhibited. Caspase-3 inhibition showed a 2nd-order allosteric-type, but the inhibition of caspases-2 and 7 showed a non-competitive-type. The apoptosis-test using cultured HeLa cells was inhibited by these catechins. In rat hepatocytes, apoptosis was induced by d-galactosamine in vivo. In this case, caspase-3 activity in the cytoplasm, the serum aminotransferases and dUTP nick formation detected by TUNNEL-staining were effects, and these elevations were suppressed by administration of catechin.

Analysis of in vivo role of alpha-fodrin autoantigen in primary Sjogren's syndrome,
The American Journal of Pathology, Vol.167, No.4, 1051-1059, 2005.

(要約): The alpha-fodrin N-terminal portion (AFN) autoantigen mediates in vivo immunoregulation of autoimmune responses in primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS). We further examined this process and found that cleavage products of AFN were frequently detected in the salivary gland duct cells of SS patients. In in vitro studies using human salivary gland HSY cells, anti-Fas-induced apoptosis resulted in specific cleavage of alpha-fodrin into the 120-kd fragment, in association of alpha-fodrin with mu-calpain, and activation of caspase 3. Significant proliferative responses against AlphaFN autoantigen were observed in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from SS patients with higher pathological score (grade 4) and with short duration from onset (within 5 years). In vivo roles of AFN peptides were investigated using PBMCs from patients with SS, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis. Significant proliferative T-cell responses of PBMCs to AFN peptide were detected in SS but not in systemic lupus erythematosus or rheumatoid arthritis. AFN peptide induced Th1-immune responses and accelerated down-regulation of Fas-mediated T-cell apoptosis in SS. Our data further elucidate the in vivo role of AFN autoantigen on the development of SS and suggest that the AFN autoantigen is a novel participant in peripheral tolerance.

Development of autoimmunity against transcriptionally unrepressed target antigen in the thymus of Aire-deficient mice,
The Journal of Immunology, Vol.174, No.4, 1862-1870, 2005.

(要約): Autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene mutation is responsible for the development of organ-specific autoimmune disease with monogenic autosomal recessive inheritance. Although Aire has been considered to regulate the elimination of autoreactive T cells through transcriptional control of tissue-specific Ags in thymic epithelial cells, other mechanisms of AIRE-dependent tolerance remain to be investigated. We have established Aire-deficient mice and examined the mechanisms underlying the breakdown of self-tolerance. The production and/or function of immunoregulatory T cells were retained in the Aire-deficient mice. The mice developed Sjogren's syndrome-like pathologic changes in the exocrine organs, and this was associated with autoimmunity against a ubiquitous protein, alpha-fodrin. Remarkably, transcriptional expression of alpha-fodrin was retained in the Aire-deficient thymus. These results suggest that Aire regulates the survival of autoreactive T cells beyond transcriptional control of self-protein expression in the thymus, at least against this ubiquitous protein. Rather, Aire may regulate the processing and/or presentation of self-proteins so that the maturing T cells can recognize the self-Ags in a form capable of efficiently triggering autoreactive T cells. With the use of inbred Aire-deficient mouse strains, we also demonstrate the presence of some additional factor(s) that determine the target-organ specificity of the autoimmune disease caused by Aire deficiency.

Development of Autoimmune Arthritis With Aging Via Bystander T Cell Activation in the Mouse Model of Sjogren's Syndrome,
Arthritis and Rheumatism, Vol.50, No.12, 3974-3984, 2004.

(要約): A wide spectrum of extraglandular manifestations may occur in patients with Sjogren's syndrome (SS), but the mechanisms responsible for in vivo progression are still obscure. We undertook this study to evaluate the age-related changes during the development of extraglandular autoimmune lesions, including arthritis, in the murine model of primary SS, and to evaluate the possible relationship between age-related disturbance of activation-induced cell death and the in vivo kinetics against autoantigens. A total of 126 NFS/sld mice were investigated at ages 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 18, 20, and 24 months. Cytokine production was tested using culture supernatants from anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody-stimulated T cells. Anti-single-stranded DNA (anti-ssDNA) antibodies, Ig isotypes (IgG1, IgG2a), rheumatoid factor (RF), and anti-type II collagen (anti-CII) antibodies were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Proliferative T cell responses against each of 3 recombinant alpha-fodrin proteins and against CII were analyzed. Autoimmune arthritis developed in SS model mice until age 24 months. Significant elevations in serum levels of RF, anti-ssDNA antibodies, and anti-CII antibodies were found in aging SS model mice. A high titer of serum autoantibodies against alpha-fodrin fragments (containing different epitopes that were originally identified in primary SS model mice) was frequently detected in young and aged SS model mice. Moreover, we found that alpha-fodrin autoantigen induced Th1 immune responses and accelerated disturbance of Fas-mediated T cell apoptosis in aged SS model mice. These results indicate that age-related disturbance of activation-induced cell death via bystander T cell activation may play a crucial role in the development of autoimmune arthritis in a murine model of SS.

Effective Treatment of a Mouse Model of Sjogren's Syndrome With Eyedrop Administrasiton of Anti-CD4 Monoclonal Antibody,
Arthritis and Rheumatism, Vol.50, No.9, 2903-2910, 2004.

(要約): To determine whether eyedrop administration of an anti-CD4 monoclonal antibody (mAb) is effective in the treatment of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) using a mouse model of the disease. The anti-CD4 mAb was administered daily into the eyes of mice with SS from ages 4 to 8 weeks or ages 10 to 12 weeks. During treatment, tear volume was monitored and after final treatment, histologic features of the lacrimal and salivary glands, the phenotypes and function of T cells, and serum titers of anti-alpha-fodrin antibody were examined. Eyedrop administration of anti-CD4 mAb before the onset of SS prevented the autoimmune pathology seen in the lacrimal glands but not that in the salivary glands. Furthermore, eyedrop administration of anti-CD4 mAb after the development of SS inhibited mononuclear cell infiltration and the destruction of parenchyma only in the lacrimal glands. Eyedrop administration of anti-CD4 mAb suppressed the local activation of CD4+ T cells rather than deleting CD4+ T cells, which reduced the expansion of pathologic CD4+ T cells against alpha-fodrin. These results demonstrate the remarkable efficacy of anti-CD4 mAb eyedrops in the treatment of SS eye symptoms, which illustrates a new antibody-based therapeutic strategy for patients with eye problems caused by SS as well as other diseases.

Estrogen deficiency accelerates murine autoimmune arthritis associated with receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand-mediated osteoclastogenesis,
Endocrinology, Vol.145, No.5, 2384-2391, 2004.

(要約): The aims of this study were to evaluate the in vivo effects of estrogen deficiency in MRL/lpr mice as a model for rheumatoid arthritis and to analyze the possible relationship between immune dysregulation and receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL)-mediated osteoclastogenesis. Experimental studies were performed in ovariectomized (Ovx)-MRL/lpr, Ovx-MRL+/+, sham-operated-MRL/lpr, and sham-operated-MRL+/+ mice. Severe autoimmune arthritis developed in younger Ovx-MRL/lpr mice until 24 wk of age, whereas these lesions were entirely recovered by pharmacological levels of estrogen administration. A significant elevation in serum rheumatoid factor, anti-double-stranded DNA, and anti-type II collagen was found in Ovx-MRL/lpr mice and recovered in mice that underwent estrogen administration. A high proportion of CD4(+) T cells bearing RANKL was found, and an enhanced expression of RANKL mRNA and an impaired osteoprotegerin mRNA was detected in the synovium. An increase in both osteoclast formation and bone resorption pits was found. These results indicate that estrogen deficiency may play a crucial role in acceleration of autoimmune arthritis associated with RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis in a murine model for rheumatoid arthritis.

Unique cell membrane expression if topoisomerase-ll alpha as a useful diagnostic marker of liposarcoma,
Pathology International, Vol.54, No.3, 145-150, 2004.

(要約): Topoisomerase-II alpha (Topo-II alpha) is known as a cell cycle-related intranuclear marker. To the best of our knowledge, the expression of Topo-II alpha on extranuclear sites has not been reported. The aim of the present study was to determine the usefulness of Topo-II alpha immunostaining for detecting the lipoblasts that are essential to diagnosing liposarcoma. Surgical specimens, including benign lipomatous tumors (four cases), well-differentiated liposarcomas (three cases), myxoid liposarcomas (six cases), pleomorphic liposarcomas (two cases), dedifferentiated liposarcomas (two cases), myxoid malignant fibrous histiocytomas (six cases), and one case of mesenteric panniculitis, were studied. Samples were immunostained using antibodies for Topo-II alpha, S-100 protein and Ki-67. In addition, we used the western blot method to investigate immunohistochemical-affinity in adipocytes. Mature adipocytes and lipoblasts in all of the benign and malignant lipomatous tumors intensively expressed cell contours positivity for Topo-II alpha. Cytoplasm of the lipoblasts occasionally reacted to the antibody and highlighted intracytoplasmic small unilocular, multivacuolated, or bubble-like patterns. Western blot analysis confirmed a 70 kDa product reactive to Topo-II alpha in the cell membrane fragment of mature adipocytes. S-100 protein expressed adipocytes and lipoblasts, but the detection of lipoblasts was not as easy as in Topo-II alpha immunostaining. Immunoreactivity of Ki-67 was limited to the nuclei, and the nuclear labeling index of Ki-67 correlated with that of Topo-II alpha. The immunoreactivity of Topo-II alpha for lipoblasts was more sensitive and obvious than those of S-100 protein. Immunostaining using the antibody for Topo-II alpha seems to be useful in recognizing lipoblasts that have been overlooked in hematoxylin-eosin-stained preparations, and is a useful marker for diagnosing liposarcoma.

Development of Autoimmune Exocrinopathy Resembling Sjogren's Syndrome in Adoptively Transferred Mice With Autoreactive CD4+ T Cells,
Arthritis and Rheumatism, Vol.48, No.12, 3603-3609, 2003.

(要約): The pathologic mechanisms responsible for organ-specific tissue damage in primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) remain unclear, but it has been suggested that the pathology is mediated by autoreactive CD4+ T cells infiltrating the salivary and lacrimal glands. This study was undertaken to investigate whether alpha-fodrin autoantigen-specific autoreactive CD4+ T cells are capable of inducing autoimmune lesions. A total of 45 synthetic alpha-fodrin peptides designed to be 20 amino acid residues in length were generated. To establish an autoreactive T cell line, limiting dilution analysis (LDA) was performed on lymph node cells (LNCs) in the presence of alpha-fodrin peptides. The effects of adoptive transfer of autoreactive CD4+ T cells into normal syngeneic recipients were investigated. Autoreactive CD4+ T cell lines that recognize synthetic alpha-fodrin peptide, which produced Th1 cytokines and showed cytotoxic activities, were established in a murine model for SS. T cell receptor V(beta) usage and third complementarity-determining region (CDR3) sequences indicated that in some cases V(beta)6-CDR3 genes matched between the tissue-infiltrating T cells and the autoreactive T cell lines. Adoptive transfer of the autoreactive CD4+ T cells into normal syngeneic recipients induced autoimmune lesions quite similar to those of SS. Our data help to elucidate the pathogenic mechanisms responsible for tissue destruction in autoimmune exocrinopathy and indicate that autoreactive CD4+ T cells play a pivotal role in the development of murine SS.

Anti-a-fodrin autoantibodies in Moyamoya disease,
Stroke, Vol.34, No.12, 244-246, 2003.

(要約): Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare entity that results in progressive occlusion of the arteries of the circle of Willis, but the pathogenesis of MMD is unknown. MMD sera (n=32) were tested for anti-endothelial cell antibodies by enzyme-linked immunoassays and flow cytometric analysis. Apoptosis was induced in human umbilical vein endothelial cells by tumor necrosis factor-alpha. We found that a high proportion of MMD sera had anti-endothelial cell antibodies with apoptotic stimuli. Prominent reactivities of MMD sera (72%) with recombinant human alpha-fodrin were observed. Our study demonstrates that MMD sera contain a high incidence of anti-alpha-fodrin autoantibodies, providing new insight into the mechanisms of occlusion of MMD arteries.

Development of autoimmune exocrinopathy resembling Sjogren's syndorome in estorogen deficient mice of healthy background,
The American Journal of Pathology, Vol.163, No.4, 1481-1490, 2003.

(要約): Although a number of autoimmune diseases are known to develop in postmenopausal women, the mechanisms by which estrogen deficiency influences autoimmune lesions remain unclear. We speculate that antiestrogenic actions might be a potent factor in the formation of pathogenic autoantigens. Previously, we have identified 120-kd alpha-fodrin as an important autoantigen in Sjögren's syndrome (SS). When healthy C57BL/6 (B6) mice were treated with an ovariectomy (Ovx), we found a significant increase in TUNEL(+)-apoptotic epithelial cells in the salivary gland cells associated with alpha-fodrin cleavage during 2 and 3 weeks after Ovx. By contrast, no apoptotic cells were found in estrogen receptor-alpha knockout mice. In in vitro studies using primary cultured mouse salivary gland cells and human salivary gland cells, we found a cleavage product of 120-kd alpha-fodrin in cells that had undergone tamoxifen (Tam)-induced apoptosis through caspase activation, especially caspase-1. Adoptive transfer of alpha-fodrin-reactive T cells into Ovx-B6 and -SCID mice resulted in the development of autoimmune exocrinopathy quite similar to SS. These results suggest that estrogen deficiency exerts a crucial influence on autoantigen cleavage, and may cause, in part, autoimmune exocrinopathy in postmenopausal women.

Cathepsin S-inhibitor prevents autoantigen presentation and autoimmunity,
The Journal of Clinical Investigation, Vol.110, No.3, 361-369, 2002.

(要約): The cysteine endoprotease cathepsin S mediates degradation of the MHC class II invariant chain Ii in human and mouse antigen-presenting cells. Studies described here examine the functional significance of cathepsin S inhibition on autoantigen presentation and organ-specific autoimmune diseases in a murine model for Sjögren syndrome. Specific inhibitor of cathepsin S (Clik60) in vitro markedly impaired presentation of an organ-specific autoantigen, 120-kDa alpha-fodrin, by interfering with MHC class II-peptide binding. Autoantigen-specific T cell responses were significantly and dose-dependently inhibited by incubation with Clik60, but not with inhibitor s of cathepsin B or L. Clik60 treatment of mouse salivary gland cells selectively inhibited autopeptide-bound class II molecules. Moreover, the treatment with Clik60 in vivo profoundly blocked lymphocytic infiltration into the salivary and lacrimal glands, abrogated a rise in serum autoantibody production, and led to recovery from autoimmune manifestations. Thus, inhibition of cathepsin S in vivo alters autoantigen presentation and development of organ-specific autoimmunity. These data identify selective inhibition of cysteine protease cathepsin S as a potential therapeutic strategy for autoimmune disease processes.

Prevention and induction of autoimmune exocrinopathy is dependent on pathogenic autoantigen cleavage in murine Sjogren's syndrome,
The Journal of Immunology, Vol.169, No.2, 1050-1057, 2002.

(要約): The in vivo role of autoantigen cleavage during apoptosis in autoimmune diseases remains unclear. Previously, we found a cleavage product of 120-kDa alpha-fodrin as an important autoantigen in the pathogenesis of primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS). In the murine primary SS model, tissue-infiltrating CD4(+) T cells purified from the salivary glands bear a large proportion of Fas ligand, and the salivary gland duct cells constitutively possess Fas. Infiltrating CD4(+) T cells, but not CD8(+) T cells, identified significant (51)Cr release against mouse salivary gland cells. In vitro studies demonstrated that apoptotic mouse salivary gland cells result in a specific alpha-fodrin cleavage into 120 kDa and that preincubation with caspase inhibitor peptides blocked alpha-fodrin cleavage. In vivo treatment with caspase inhibitors N-benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp fluoromethyl ketone and N-acetyl-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-al-CHO into the murine model results in dramatic inhibitory effects on the development of autoimmune lesions and in restoration of sicca syndrome. Furthermore, we found that immunization with recombinant alpha-fodrin protein identical with an autoantigen into normal recipients induced autoimmune lesions similar to SS. These data indicate that prevention and induction of autoimmune exocrinopathy is dependent on autoantigen cleavage via caspase cascade and that caspase inhibitors might provide a new therapeutic option directed at reducing tissue damage in the murine model for SS.

日本口腔外科学会雑誌, Vol.47, No.12, 811-814, 2001年.

(要約): Aspergillosis is caused by infection with Aspergilli. It is often difficult to make an exact diagnosis before identification of Aspergilli by microbial examination because aspergillosis is difficult to differentiate from other diseases. We present a case of aspergillosis of the maxillary sinus that could be diagnosed on serological examination for Aspergilli or fungi specific sugar. A 51-year-old woman visited to our hospital because of swelling in the gingiva of the maxilla. Radical operation of the maxillary sinus was performed for a clinical diagnosis of aspergillosis of the maxillary sinus. Histopathological examination revealed Aspergilli in the extirpated tissue of the maxillary sinus. Serological examinations showed elevated serum levels of galactomannan and β-D-glucan. Galactomannan is a specific marker for Aspergilli, and β-D-glucan is specific for fungi. Both makers fell to normal levels after operation, Suggesting that serological examinations for galactomannan and β-D-glucan are useful in the diagnosis of aspergillosis of the maxillary sinus.

Possible Role of Organ-Specific Autoantigen for Fas Ligand-Mediated Activation-Induced Cell Death in Murine Sjögren's Syndrome¹,
The Journal of Immunology, Vol.167, No.10, 6031-6037, 2001.

(要約): Activation-induced cell death (AICD) is a well-known mechanism of peripheral T cell tolerance that depends upon an interaction between Fas and Fas ligand (FasL). In this study, we demonstrate that the administration of a soluble form of anti-FasL Ab, FLIM58, results in severe destructive autoimmune exocrinopathy in the murine model of human Sjögren's syndrome (SS), and we found that an organ-specific autoantigen may play an important role on down-modulation of AICD. A high titer of serum autoantibodies against 120-kDa alpha-fodrin autoantigen was detected in the FLIM58-treated mice, and splenic T cell culture supernatants contained high levels of IFN-gamma. In vitro T cell apoptosis assay indicated that FasL-mediated AICD is down-regulated by autoantigen stimulation in spleen cells from the murine SS model, but not from Fas-deficient MRL/lpr mice and FasL-deficient MRL/gld mice. FasL undergo metalloproteinase-mediated proteolytic processing in their extracellular domains, resulting in the release of soluble trimeric ligands (soluble FasL). We showed that the processing of soluble FasL occurs in autoantigen-specific CD4(+) T cells, and that a significant increase in expressions of metalloproteinase-9 mRNA was observed in spleen cells from SS model mice. These findings indicate that the increased generation of soluble FasL inhibits the normal AICD process, leading to the proliferation of effector CD4(+) T cells in the murine SS model.

Mechanisms of neonatal tolerance induced in an animal model for primary Sjogren's syndrome by intravenous administration of autoantigen,
Scandinavian Journal of Immunology, Vol.52, No.3, 264-270, 2000.

(要約): Neonatal exposure to autoantigen is believed to induce effective antigen-specific T-cell tolerance in experimental models of autoimmunity. We have identified 120 kDa alpha-fodrin autoantigen in an animal model for primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS), that has been determined as a candidate autoantigen in both an animal model and the patients with primary SS. We demonstrate here that neonatal injection of autoantigen induce relevant tolerance when treated with intravenous (i.v.) administration within 24 h after birth, but not with i.v. injection after the thymectomy or with intraperitoneal injection. Autoantigen-specific T-cell response was significantly reduced in mice induced neonatal tolerance, and the activation markers of splenic CD4+ T cells were down-regulated in mice treated with neonatal administration. Because we detected that neonatal i.v. injection of autoantigen prevented Th1 response, it is possible that the autoantigen administration within 24 h after birth induce regulatory T cells that had a protective effect against Th1-mediated autoimmune diseases. These results indicate that the prevention of the spontaneous anti-120 kDa alpha-fodrin response in vivo, by tolerization of the autoantigen-reactive T cells, blocked the development of autoimmune lesions in an animal model for primary SS.

Autoantigen-specific CD4+CD28low T cell subset prevents autoimmune exocrinopathy in murine Sjogren's syndrome,
The Journal of Immunology, Vol.165, No.4, 2251-2257, 2000.

(要約): Organ-specific autoimmune exocrinopathy resembling Sjögren's syndrome (SS) that spontaneously develops in NFS/sld mutant mice thymectomized 3 day after birth is dependent on Th1-type CD4+ T cells. We previously reported that a cleavage product of 120-kDa alpha-fodrin may be an important autoantigen in the pathogenesis of SS in both an animal model and the patients. We demonstrate that in an animal model of SS with overt exocrinopathy, a unique CD4+ T cell subset expressing CD28low is dramatically increased in spleen cells before the disease onset, but that the CD4+ T cells of diseased mice were virtually all CD28high. We found that the spleen cells in these mice before the disease onset showed a significant increase in autoantigen-specific T cell proliferation. Analysis of in vitro cytokine production by spleen cells indicated, before the disease onset, severely impaired production of IL-2 and IFN-gamma in the animal model, whereas high levels of IL-4 were observed. Expression of cytokine genes, including IL-4, IL-10, and TGF-beta, was detected in FACS-sorted CD4+CD28low T cells by RT-PCR analysis. Transfer of CD4+CD28low T cells into the animal model actually prevented the development of autoimmune lesions including autoantibody production. These results suggest that a CD4+CD28low T cell subset that is continuously activated by an organ-specific autoantigen may play a regulatory role in the development of organ-specific autoimmune disease in an animal model of SS.

5-Fluorouracil Induces Apoptosis through the Suppression of NF-κB Activity in Human Salivary Gland Cancer Cells,
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, Vol.273, No.3, 1168-1174, 2000.

(要約): Activation of the transcription factor NF-kappaB results in protection against apoptosis, and the chemotherapeutic agent 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) exerts its cytotoxic effect through the induction of apoptosis. Thus, we examined whether 5-FU could induce apoptosis through the suppression of NF-kappaB activity. We found that upon treatment of a human salivary gland cancer cell line (cl-1) with 5-FU, the NF-kappaB activity was suppressed in a time-dependent manner. This inhibition was mediated by a prevention of the degradation of the inhibitory IkappaB-alpha protein. In addition, the expression of TRAF-2 and cIAP-1, which are transcriptionally regulated by NF-kappaB and function as anti-apoptotic molecules through the interruption of caspase pathway, was also inhibited by 5-FU. Finally, the activity of caspase-8 and caspase-3 showed a significant increase in response to 5-FU. By flow cytometric analysis, 5-FU did not affect the expression level of Fas on the cell surface. Thus, our results suggest that one of the molecular mechanisms involved in 5-FU-induced apoptosis in cl-1 cells may be due to the suppression of NF-kappaB activity, resulting in the activation of the pro-apoptotic pathway.

Severe destructive autoimmune lesions with aging in murine Sjogren's syndrome through Fas-mediated apoptosis,
The American Journal of Pathology, Vol.156, No.5, 1557-1564, 2000.

(要約): When we evaluated the age-associated changes in autoimmune exocrinopathy in a NFS/sld murine model for primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS), severe destructive autoimmune lesions developed in the salivary and lacrimal glands in the aged mice, compared with those observed in the younger model. We detected a decreased secretion of saliva and tear flow in the aged group. A significant increase of TUNEL(+)-apoptotic epithelial duct cells in the salivary glands was detected in the aged SS animal model. A higher proportion of mouse salivary gland cells bearing Fas was found in the aged group, whereas no significant changes were seen on tissue-infiltrating CD4(+) T cells bearing FasL in the salivary glands from young and aged mice. We detected an increased cleavage product of organ-specific autoantigen, 120-kd alpha-fodrin, in the aged salivary gland tissues on immunoblotting, and an increase in serum autoantibody production against 120-kd alpha-fodrin by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. An increase in the proliferative response of splenic T cells against organ-specific autoantigen was observed, whereas nonspecific concanavalin A responsiveness was decreased in the aged mice. In addition, a decrease in Fas expression was found on splenic CD4(+) T cells in the aged mice, and anti-Fas mAb-stimulated apoptosis was down-regulated on CD4(+) T cells. These results indicate that age-associated dysregulation of CD4(+) T cells may play a crucial role on acceleration of organ-specific autoimmune lesions in a murine model for primary SS through Fas-mediated apoptosis.

Estrogen dediciency accelerates autoimmune exocrinopathy in murine Sjogren's syndrome through Fas-dediated apoptosis,
The American Journal of Pathology, Vol.155, No.1, 173-181, 1999.

(要約): Estrogenic action has been suggested to be responsible for the strong female preponderance of autoimmune diseases, but the role of estrogens in the female has not been well characterized. We evaluated the effects of estrogen deficiency in a murine model for autoimmune exocrinopathy of Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Severe destructive autoimmune lesions developed in the salivary and lacrimal glands in estrogen-deficient mice, and these lesions were recovered by estrogen administration. We detected an intense estrogen receptor in splenic CD8(+) T cells compared with that in CD4(+) T cells, and concanavalin-A-stimulated blastogenesis of splenic CD8(+) T cells with estrogens was much higher than that of CD4(+) T cells. We found a significant increase in serum autoantibody production against the organ-specific autoantigen alpha-fodrin. Moreover, an increased proportion of TUNEL+ apoptotic epithelial duct cells was observed in estrogen-deficient mice. It was demonstrated that Fas-mediated apoptosis in cultured salivary gland cells was clearly inhibited by estrogens in vitro. These results indicate that dysfunction of regulatory T cells by estrogen deficiency may play a crucial role on acceleration of organ-specific autoimmune lesions, and estrogenic action further influences target epithelial cells through Fas-mediated apoptosis in a murine model for SS.

Fas ligand-mediated exocrinopathy resembling Sjogren's syndrome in mice transgenic for IL-10,
The Journal of Immunology, Vol.162, No.5, 2488-2492, 1999.

(要約): Although IL-10 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several autoimmune diseases, the mechanisms by which this cytokine mediates inflammatory lesions remain to be elucidated. Exocrine gland destruction is an important early step in the development of Sjögren's syndrome. To better understand the role of IL-10 in Sjögren's syndrome, we made transgenic mice in which the mouse IL-10 gene was regulated by the human salivary amylase promoter. Transgenic expression of IL-10 induced apoptosis of glandular tissue destruction and lymphocyte infiltration consisting primarily of Fas-ligand (FasL)+ CD4+ T cells, as well as in vitro up-regulation of FasL expression on T cells. These data suggest that overexpression of IL-10 in the glands and their subsequent Fas/FasL-mediated bystander tissue destruction is a causal factor in the development of this disease.

Use of topical cyclosporin A in a primary Sjogren's syndrome mouse model,
Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, Vol.39, No.9, 1551-1559, 1998.

(要約): A new animal model, the NFS/sld mutant mouse, was used for primary Sjögren's syndrome to investigate the efficacy of topical and systemic cyclosporin A (CyA) in preventing inflammation of the exocrine glands. Cyclosporin A was applied topically (0.01% and 0.1%, three times a day) or administered orally (10 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg, once a day) to mice from 6 to 16 weeks of age, after which the mice were killed. Topical CyA reduced lacrimal gland and submandibular gland inflammation without causing pathologic changes in other organs. Flow cytometry showed that CD44 expression of CD4 T cells from the submandibular lymph nodes was downregulated, whereas that of Mel14+ was upregulated. Using a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay, we determined that topical CyA significantly decreased the expression of mRNA of IL-2 and T-cell receptor-constant beta-chain. Topical CyA may be clinically useful in reducing the lymphocyte infiltration of lacrimal glands associated with Sjögren's syndrome.

Cellular Immunology, Vol.171, No.2, 217-225, 1996.

(要約): We have recently established a new animal model for primary Sjögren's syndrome in NFS/sld mutant mice thymectomized 3 days after birth (3dTX) bearing an autosomal recessive gene with sublingual gland differentiation arrest. In this study, we analyze developing mechanisms of experimental autoimmune sialadenitis (EAS) in the mouse model, focusing on local expressions of cytokine and cell adhesion molecule genes by reverse transcriptase-polymeric chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry, kinetic analysis of splenic lymphocytes expressing activation markers, and I-Aq class-II molecules by flow cytometry (FACS). We found up-regulation of local cytokine genes (IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, IL-2, IFN-gamma, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p40) and cell adhesion molecule genes (ICAM-1, LFA-1, CD44, Mel-14) in the salivary glands from mice with EAS by RT-PCR, which were supported by immunohistochemistry. FACS analysis demonstrated that a significant proportion of splenic CD4+ T cells express activation markers (CD44, LFA-1, Mel-14low, CD45RB(low)) at a high level and an increase in expression of B220+ B cells bearing I-Aq class-II molecules. These data suggest that spontaneous EAS in 3dTX NFS/sld mutant mice may be triggered by an in situ activation of autoreactive CD4+ T cells comprising unique cytokine profile (high levels of IL-2, IFN-gamma, IL-10, and IL-12p40 mRNA) in the salivary glands.

Expression of HLA-DR and cytokine genes on interferon-γ-stimulated human salivary gland cell line,
Pathobiology, Vol.64, No.5, 255-261, 1996.

(要約): Stimulation of a cultured human salivary gland (HSG) cell line by interferon (IFN)-gamma leads to HLA-DR gene expression concomitant with inflammatory cytokine genes such as IL-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and IL-6 in vitro. IFN-gamma-induced HLA-DR mRNA expression was clearly detected at 2 h after the stimulation, and thereafter its level of gene expression increased until day 7 on HSG cells by reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that cytoplasmic HLA-DR immunoreactivity was detected for the first time at 2 days after the stimulation, and its immunoreactivity increased gradually until day 7, while no immunoreactivity with HLA-DP and HLA-DQ was observed at any of the days. In addition, the expression of IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, and IL-6 on the IFN-gamma-stimulated HSG cells was detected by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR analysis. These results indicate that human salivary gland cells can be induced to express HLA-DR mRNA by IFN-gamma concomitant with inflammatory cytokine gene expressions such as IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, and IL-6.

(要約): Oral immune system is maintained by various lymphoid tissues in head and neck region and efficient function of oral mucosa and saliva. A variety of oral immune disorders such as infection, allergic disease and autoimmune disease are induced by dysfunction of oral immune system. Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease that affects exocrine glands, including salivary glands, causing dry mouth symptoms. Because the pathogenesis of Sjogren's syndrome is complex, the study with multiple approaches using many models has been developed to understand the precise mechanism of the disease onset.

Invasion-Related Factors as Potential Diagnostic and Therapeutic Targets in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma-A Review.,
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Vol.19, No.5, May 2018.

(要約): It is well recognized that the presence of cervical lymph node metastasis is the most important prognostic factor in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). In solid epithelial cancer, the first step during the process of metastasis is the invasion of cancer cells into the underlying stroma, breaching the basement membrane (BM)-the natural barrier between epithelium and the underlying extracellular matrix (ECM). The ability to invade and metastasize is a key hallmark of cancer progression, and the most complicated and least understood. These topics continue to be very active fields of cancer research. A number of processes, factors, and signaling pathways are involved in regulating invasion and metastasis. However, appropriate clinical trials for anti-cancer drugs targeting the invasion of OSCC are incomplete. In this review, we summarize the recent progress on invasion-related factors and emerging molecular determinants which can be used as potential for diagnostic and therapeutic targets in OSCC.

Aurora Kinase Inhibitors In Head And Neck Cancer.,
Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, Vol.18, No.3, 199-213, Jan. 2018.

(要約): Aurora kinases are a group of serine/threonine kinases responsible for the regulation of mitosis. In recent years, with the increase in Aurora kinase-related research, the important role of Aurora kinases in tumorigenesis has been gradually recognized. Aurora kinases have been regarded as a new target for cancer therapy, resulting in the development of Aurora kinase inhibitors. The study and application of these small-molecule inhibitors, especially in combination with chemotherapy drugs, represents a new direction in cancer treatment. This paper reviews studies on Aurora kinases from recent years, including studies of their biological function, their relationship with tumor progression, and their inhibitors.

Unique Phenotypes and Functions of Follicular Helper T Cell and Regulatory T Cell in Sjögren's Syndrome.,
Current Rheumatology Reviews, Vol.14, No.3, 239-245, Jan. 2017.

(要約): Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease of the systemic exocrine glands, such as salivary and lacrimal glands. A variety of T-cell subpopulations maintain immune tolerance in the thymus and periphery through complex immune responses including cellular and humoral immunity. The T-cell subpopulations exhibiting abnormal or unique phenotypes and impaired functionality have been reported to play important roles in the cellular mechanisms of autoimmunity in SS patients and animal models of SS. In this review, we focused on follicular helper T cells related to antibody production and regulatory T cells to control immune tolerance in the pathogenesis of SS. The unique roles of these T-cell subpopulations in the process of the onset or development of SS have been demonstrated in this review of recent publications. The clinical application of these T-cell subpopulations will be helpful for the development of new techniques for diagnosis or treatment of SS in the future.

Oral environment and cancer,
Genes and Environment, Vol.38, No.13, Aug. 2016.

(要約): Cancer is now the leading cause of death in Japan. A rapid increase in cancer mortality is expected as Japan is facing a super-aged society. Many causes of cancer are known to be closely linked to life style factors, such as smoking, drinking, and diet. The oral environment is known to be involved in the pathogenesis and development of various diseases such as bronchitis, pneumonia, diabetes, heart disease, and dementia. Because the oral cavity acts as the bodily entrance for air and food, it is constantly exposed to foreign substances, including bacteria and viruses. A large number of bacteria are endemic to the oral cavity, and indigenous oral flora act to prevent the settlement of foreign bacteria. The oral environment is influenced by local factors, including dental plaque, tartar, teeth alignment, occlusion, an incompatible prosthesis, and bad lifestyle habits, and systemic factors, including smoking, consumption of alcohol, irregular lifestyle and eating habits, obesity, stress, hormones, and heredity. It has recently been revealed that the oral environment is associated with cancer. In particular, commensal bacteria in the oral cavity are involved in the development of cancer. Moreover, Candida, human papilloma virus and Epstein-Barr virus as well as commensal bacteria have been reported to be associated with the pathogenesis of cancer. In this review, we introduce recent findings of the correlation between the oral environment and cancer.

Role of regulatory T cell in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease.,
World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG, Vol.22, No.7, 2195-2205, Feb. 2016.

(要約): Regulatory T (Treg) cells play key roles in various immune responses. For example, Treg cells contribute to the complex pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis during onset or development of that disease. Many animal models of IBD have been used to investigate factors such as pathogenic cytokines, pathogenic bacteria, and T-cell functions, including those of Treg cells. In addition, analyses of patients with IBD facilitate our understanding of the precise mechanism of IBD. This review article focuses on the role of Treg cells and outlines the pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies of IBD based on previous reports.

Mechanism of Activation-Induced Cell Death of T Cells and Regulation of FasL Expression.,
Critical Reviews in Immunology, Vol.34, No.4, 301-314, May 2014.

(要約): Activation-induced cell death (AICD) of T cells is a process for regulating the peripheral immune system. The fate of a T cell is controlled by numerous signals derived from various stimuli, such as antigens, cytokines, and chemokines. In healthy humans, overactivated or autoreactive T cells are harmful and are eliminated to maintain the immune system. AICD in T cells by Fas/FasL-mediated apoptosis is triggered by the switch from life to death through several signaling molecules. The control or distribution of Fas or FasL expression largely affects AICD of T cells. Although autoimmune diseases are considered to be induced by multiple factors, an impaired immune system with AICD by Fas/FasL-mediated apoptosis leads to the onset or development of autoimmunity. Based on published reports, this review describes the regulatory mechanisms involved in AICD of T cells by Fas/ FasL-mediated apoptosis and the associations between AICD and autoimmunity in humans and animal models.

Matrix metalloproteinases: the gene expression signatures of head and neck cancer progression.,
Cancers, Vol.6, No.1, 396-415, Feb. 2014.

(要約): Extracellular matrix degradation by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) plays a pivotal role in cancer progression by promoting motility, invasion and angiogenesis. Studies have shown that MMP expression is increased in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs), one of the most common cancers in the world, and contributes to poor outcome. In this review, we examine the expression pattern of MMPs in HNSCC by microarray datasets and summarize the current knowledge of MMPs, specifically MMP-1, -3, -7 -10, -12, -13, 14 and -19, that are highly expressed in HNSCCs and involved cancer invasion and angiogenesis.

Targeting IL-1 in Sjögren's syndrome.,
Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Targets, Vol.17, No.4, 393-401, Jan. 2013.

(要約): Introduction: IL-1 plays key roles in the biological functions of various cells. In particular, many roles of IL-1 in the immune system have been discovered by numerous studies. This review focuses on the association of IL-1 with the pathogenesis of autoimmunity. Areas covered: An overview of the biological functions of the IL-1 family and the IL-1 receptors (IL-1Rs), including the maintenance of systemic or local homeostasis, and the signaling pathway through IL-1/IL-1R in various immune systems are described. Several functions of IL-1 in the pathogenesis of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) have been demonstrated with a focus on the immune responses and target tissues in SS. In addition to the role of IL-1 in the immune responses in SS, the function of IL-1 in ocular mucosa lesions in SS has been described. Lastly, there is an overview of possible therapeutic strategies for IL-1 inhibition in SS. Expert opinion: IL-1 plays critical roles in the onset and development of SS by controlling systemic or local immune responses and maintaining the survival and mucosal defense of target epithelial cells. The inhibition of the pathogenic functions of IL-1 may be beneficial for treating SS.

Immunotherapeutic targets in estrogen deficiency-dependent Sjögren's syndrome-related manifestations,
Immunotherapy, Vol.2, No.3, 339-346, May 2010.

(要約): Although a number of autoimmune diseases are known to develop in postmenopausal women, the mechanisms by which estrogen deficiency influences autoimmunity remain unclear. Previously, we found that tissue-specific apoptosis in the exocrine glands in estrogen-deficient mice may contribute to the development of autoimmune exocrinopathy. We found that RbAp48 overexpression induces p53-mediated apoptosis in the exocrine glands depending on estrogen deficiency. RbAp48-inducible transfectants result in rapid apoptosis with p53 phosphorylation (Ser9), and alpha-fodrin cleavage. Indeed, transgenic expression of the RbAp48 gene induced apoptosis in the exocrine glands, resulting in the development of autoimmune exocrinopathy resembling Sjögren's syndrome (SS). CD4(+) T-cell-mediated autoimmune lesions were aggravated with age, in association with production of autoantibodies against SS-A, SS-B and alpha-fodrin. These findings demonstrated that estrogen deficiency initiates tissue-specific apoptosis in the exocrine gland cells through RbAp48 overexpression and exerts a possible gender-based risk of autoimmune exocrinopathy in postmenopausal women. Thus, these data indicate RbAp48 to be a novel immunotherapeutic target for preventing epithelial cell apoptosis and the development of gender-based autoimmune exocrinopathy.

Apoptosis and Estrogen Deficiency in Primary Sjögren Syndrome,
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, Vol.16, No.5, 522-526, Sep. 2004.

(要約): Primary Sjögren syndrome is an autoimmune disorder characterized by lymphocytic infiltrates and destruction of the salivary and lacrimal glands, and systemic production of autoantibodies to the ribonucleoprotein particles SS-A/Ro and SS-B/La. The purpose of this review is to discuss recent advances in the pathogenesis of primary Sjögren syndrome. Although several candidate autoantigens including alpha-fodrin have been reported in Sjögren syndrome, the pathogenic roles of the autoantigens in initiation and progression of SS are still unclear. It is possible that individual T cells activated by an appropriate self antigen can proliferate and form a restricted clone. Recent evidence suggests that the apoptotic pathway plays a central role in tolerizing T cells to tissue-specific self antigen, and may drive the autoimmune phenomenon. Cleavage of certain autoantigens during apoptosis may reveal immunocryptic epitopes that could potentially induce autoimmune response. The studies reviewed imply that Fas-mediated cytotoxicity and caspase-mediated alpha-fodrin proteolysis are involved in the progression of tissue destruction in Sjögren syndrome. Fas ligand (FasL), and its receptor Fas are essential in the homeostasis of the peripheral immune system. It can be considered that a defect in activation-induced cell death of effector T cells may result in the development of autoimmune exocrinopathy in Sjögren syndrome. Although the mechanisms by which estrogen deficiency influences autoimmune lesions remain unclear, it is possible that antiestrogenic actions might be a potent factor in the formation of pathogenic autoantigens.

The role of caspase cascade on the development of primary Sjogren's syndrome,
The Journal of Medical Investigation : JMI, Vol.50, No.1,2, 32-38, Feb. 2003.

(要約): Primary Sjögren syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by diffuse lymphoid cell infiltrates in the salivary and lacrimal glands, resulting in symptoms of dry eye and dry mouth due to insufficient secretion. Previously, we have identified the 120 kDa alpha-fodrin as an important autoantigen on the development of SS in both animal model and SS patients, but the mechanism of a -fodrin cleavage leading to tissue destruction in SS remains unclear. In murine primary SS model, tissue-infiltrating CD4+ T cells purified from the salivary glands bear a large proportion of Fas ligand (FasL), and the salivary gland duct cells constitutively possess Fas. Infiltrating CD4+ T cells identified significant 51Cr release against mouse salivary gland (MSG) cells. In vitro studies demonstrated that apoptotic MSG cells result in a specific alpha-fodrin cleavage into 120 kDa, and preincubation with caspase-inhibitor peptides blocked alpha-fodrin cleavage. The treatment with caspase-inhibitors in vivo prevented the development of autoimmune lesions in the salivary and lacrimal glands. Thus, an increased activity in caspase cascade may be involved in the progression of alpha-fodrin proteolysis and tissue destruction on the development of SS.
