IL-8 Is Upregulated in the Tissue-Derived EVs of Odontogenic Keratocysts. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:9453270. [PMID: 35941973 PMCID: PMC9356892 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9453270] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2022] [Accepted: 06/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Background Interleukin 8 (IL-8) is a chemotactic cytokine released by various cells including leukocytes, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells. IL-8 has multiple functions in inflammation, tumour invasion, or angiogenesis. Human odontogenic cystic lesions are chronic and frequently inflamed. Tissue-derived extracellular vesicles (Ti-EVs) are widely present in various tissues and could more accurately reflect the characteristics of the primary tissue. However, the involvement of IL-8 in Ti-EVs of human odontogenic lesions is still unclear. This study aimed to explore the expression of IL-8 in Ti-EVs of human odontogenic lesions and the potential roles of Ti-EVs that carried IL-8. Methods Fresh tissue samples of dentigerous cyst (DC, n = 5) and odontogenic keratocyst (OKC, n = 5) were collected for Ti-EVs isolation. Ti-EVs were characterised by transmission electron microscopy and nano-flow cytometry analysis. The cytokine profile of Ti-EVs was explored by cytokine antibody array. The IL-8 expression was examined by immunochemical staining in tissue of odontogenic lesions (DC, n =12; OKC, n =28). Antioxidants (N-acetyl-L-cysteine and diphenyleneiodonium) were employed to treat HaCaT cells, and the expression of IL-8 was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The gene expression of MMP9 was explored by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in co-culture system of fibroblasts of OKC with Ti-EVs. Results Compared with DC, the expression of IL-8 in Ti-EVs and fixed tissue specimens of OKC was markedly upregulated. The antioxidants decreased the expression level of IL-8 protein in the supernatant of HaCaT cells. The Ti-EVs treatment (10 μg/ml) of fibroblasts significantly induced the MMP9 mRNA expressions in OKC fibroblasts. Conclusions IL-8 was upregulated in Ti-EVs of OKC and might be involved in the tissue destruction of OKC.

Abstract
Purpose We aimed to define cell subpopulations of odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), particularly relating to angiogenesis and explored the potential regulation mechanism for angiogenesis. Materials and Methods Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis was investigated on 14,072 cells from 3 donors with OKC. The differential expressed genes, cell trajectory and intercellular communications were evaluated by bioinformatic analysis. Hydrostatic pressure (80 mmHg, 6h) was applied to the primary fibroblasts of OKC and the supernatant was collected for cytokines detection by cytokine antibody array. The chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 12 (CXCL12) and CD31 expressions were explored by immunohistochemistry in tissue microarray of OKC. Results Five different cell types were identified in the epithelium of OKC and 3 different cell types in the OKC fibroblasts were characterized, indicating high intra-lesional heterogeneity. CXCLs were highly enriched in the subset of fibroblasts and showed close interactions with endothelial cells. Hydrostatic pressure (80mmHg) significantly increased CXCL12 secretions in OKC fibroblasts. Stromal CXCL12 expressions were closely related to CD31 expressions of tissue microarray of OKC. Conclusion CXCLs enriched fibroblasts are crucial for angiogenesis of OKCs which could be partially regulated by hydrostatic pressure.

Abstract
Chemokines are chemotactic cytokines produced by leukocytes and other types of cells including tumor cells. Their action is determined by the expression of cognate receptors and subsequent signaling in target cells, followed by the modulation of cytoskeletal proteins and the induction of other responses. In tumors, chemokines produced by neoplastic/stroma cells control the leukocyte infiltrate influencing tumor growth and progression. Tumor cells also express functional chemokine receptors responding to chemokine signals, promoting cell survival, proliferation and metastasis formation. Chemokines may be detected in serum of cancer patients, but due to the paracrine nature of these molecules, more significant concentrations are found in the tumor adjacent, non-vascular fluids, collectively called tumor proximal fluids. This review summarizes the expression of CC and CXC chemokines in these fluids, namely in interstitial fluid, pleural, ascitic, and cyst fluids, but also in urine, saliva, cerebrospinal fluid, cervical secretions and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Most comparative clinical studies reveal increased chemokine levels in high-grade tumor proximal fluids rather than in low-grade tumors and benign conditions, indicating shorter survival periods. The data confirm peritumoral fluid chemokines as sensitive diagnostic and prognostic markers, as well as offer support for chemokines and their receptors as potential targets for antitumor therapy.

Abstract
Investigation of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in dentigerous cyst and ameloblastoma may help to improve understanding of the nature and behavior of odontogenic cysts and tumors, and in addition may eventually represent a definitive target for a pharmacological approach in the management of these lesions. The aim of this study was to evaluate COX-2 expression and its correlation with the proliferation of odontogenic epithelium in these lesions. Dentigerous cysts (n=16) and ameloblastomas (n=17) were evaluated. Detection of Ki-67 and COX-2 protein expression was conducted by immunohistochemistry. Data were statistically analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. No significant differences were found in the expression of Ki-67 and COX-2 between dentigerous cysts and ameloblastomas (P>0.05). A significant positive correlation (P=0.018) and highly significant positive correlation (P=0.004) were found between Ki-67 and COX-2 expression in the odontogenic epithelium of dentigerous cyst and ameloblastoma, respectively. COX-2 was expressed in the odontogenic epithelium of dentigerous cyst and ameloblastoma. It may contribute to local extension of these lesions by increasing the proliferation of their odontogenic epithelial cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ameloblastoma (AM) shows locally invasive behaviour. However, biological investigations regarding regulation of gene expression associated with AM pathological features are difficult to perform, because AM cells can be passaged for a few generations due to senescence. We report a newly established immortalized AM cell line, AMB cells, by transfection with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT). Furthermore, we examined whether TNF-α modulates bone resorption-related genes, IL-6 and MMP-9 in cooperation with TGF-β or IFN-γ. MATERIALS AND METHODS Following transfection of an hTERT expression vector into AM cells using a non-viral method, the effects of cytokines on the expressions of IL-6 and MMP-9 mRNA were examined using real-time PCR. TNF-α-induced NF-κB activity was examined by western blotting and transcription factor assays. RESULTS AMB cells continued to grow for more than 100 population doublings. Stimulation with TNF-α increased IL-6 and MMP-9 mRNA expressions, as well as NF-κB activation. Furthermore, TGF-β and IFN-γ dramatically increased TNF-α-mediated expressions of MMP-9 and IL-6 mRNA, respectively, while those responses were suppressed by NF-κB inhibitor. CONCLUSION We established an immortalized AM cell line by hTERT transfection. TNF-α-mediated regulation of MMP-9 and IL-6 via NF-κB may play an important role in the pathological behaviour of AMs, such as bone resorption.

Abstract
AIM To analyse the immunoreactivity of IL-1α, TNF-α and IL-10 in odontogenic cysts and tumours and to investigate possible associations with established biological behaviours of these different lesions. METHODOLOGY Immunohistochemical expression of anti-IL-1α, anti-TNF-α and anti-IL-10 antibodies was assessed on epithelium and mesenchyme of 20 radicular cysts (RCs), 20 residual cysts (RECs), 20 dentigerous cysts (DCs), 18 solid ameloblastomas (SAs), 20 keratocystic odontogenic tumours (KCOTs) and 15 dental follicles (DFs). Comparative analysis of data was performed using the nonparametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Kruskal-Wallis's test. RESULTS Significantly greater expression of IL-1α in the epithelium was noted in RC, KCOT and SA (P = 0.01), whilst IL-10 and TNF-α was in the epithelium of RC, DC and KCOT (P < 0.01). In the mesenchyme, significantly greater immunopositivity was observed for IL-1α, IL-10 and TNF-α in KCOT, DC and RC (P < 0.01). In epithelial and mesenchymal tissues, there were a significant number of cases of RC and DC with IL-1α < IL-10 ratio (P < 0.01), whilst SA and KCOT showed IL-1α > IL-10 (P < 0.01). There was a significantly greater percentage of DF, DC and KCOT with TNF-α > IL10 ratio (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION These results suggest involvement of the proteins in the pathogenesis of odontogenic cysts and tumours, with emphasis on the highest immunoreactivity of osteolysis stimulating factors in tumours with aggressive biological behaviour, such as SA and KCOT.

Abstract
Multiplex immunoassays confer several advantages over widely adopted singleplex immunoassays including increased efficiency at a reduced expense, greater output per sample volume ratios and higher throughput predicating more resolute, detailed diagnostics and facilitating personalised medicine. Nonetheless, to date, relatively few protein multiplex immunoassays have been validated for in vitro diagnostics in clinical/point-of-care settings. This review article will outline the challenges, which must be ameliorated prior to the widespread integration of multiplex immunoassays in clinical settings: (i) biomarker validation; (ii) standardisation of immunoassay design and quality control (calibration and quantification); (iii) availability, stability, specificity and cross-reactivity of reagents; (iv) assay automation and the use of validated algorithms for transformation of raw data into diagnostic results. A compendium of multiplex immunoassays applicable to in vitro diagnostics and a summary of the diagnostic products currently available commercially are included, along with an analysis of the relative states of development for each format (namely planar slide based, suspension and planar/microtitre plate based) with respect to the aforementioned issues.

Regulation of IL-6 and IL-8 production by reciprocal cell-to-cell interactions between tumor cells and stromal fibroblasts through IL-1α in ameloblastoma. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2014; 451:491-6.

Abstract
Ameloblastoma is an odontogenic benign tumor that occurs in the jawbone, which invades bone and reoccurs locally. This tumor is treated by wide surgical excision and causes various problems, including changes in facial countenance and mastication disorders. Ameloblastomas have abundant tumor stroma, including fibroblasts and immune cells. Although cell-to-cell interactions are considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases, intercellular communications in ameloblastoma have not been fully investigated. In this study, we examined interactions between tumor cells and stromal fibroblasts via soluble factors in ameloblastoma. We used a human ameloblastoma cell line (AM-3 ameloblastoma cells), human fibroblasts (HFF-2 fibroblasts), and primary-cultured fibroblasts from human ameloblastoma tissues, and analyzed the effect of ameloblastoma-associated cell-to-cell communications on gene expression, cytokine secretion, cellular motility and proliferation. AM-3 ameloblastoma cells secreted higher levels of interleukin (IL)-1α than HFF-2 fibroblasts. Treatment with conditioned medium from AM-3 ameloblastoma cells upregulated gene expression and secretion of IL-6 and IL-8 of HFF-2 fibroblasts and primary-cultured fibroblast cells from ameloblastoma tissues. The AM3-stimulated production of IL-6 and IL-8 in fibroblasts was neutralized by pretreatment of AM-3 cells with anti-IL-1α antibody and IL-1 receptor antagonist. Reciprocally, cellular motility of AM-3 ameloblastoma cells was stimulated by HFF-2 fibroblasts in IL-6 and IL-8 dependent manner. In conclusion, ameloblastoma cells and stromal fibroblasts behave interactively via these cytokines to create a microenvironment that leads to the extension of ameloblastomas.

Abstract
Lymphotoxin-alpha (LTA) polymorphism rs909253 has been reported to be a risk factor for cancers, but some results are inconsistent. To establish a more conclusive association, we performed a meta-analysis of this variant with cancers. A systematic search was performed for informative case-control studies of rs909253 with cancers among literature databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang Chinese Periodical Database. After a comprehensive filtration procedure, 36 publications involved with 35,677 participants were selected for the current meta-analysis. Stratified factors, such as cancer type, populations, and source of control, were used for a better interpretation of this variant. Minimal heterogeneity was shown in the current meta-analysis (I (2) = 0.0%, P = 0.48). Our results show a significant association of rs909253 and cancer risk (odds ratio (OR) = 1.12, P (z) < 0.001). In the subgroup analysis, significant association of rs909253 was found in adenocarcinoma (OR = 1.16, P (z) < 0.001) and hematological malignancy (OR = 1.10, P (z) < 0.001). Our meta-analyses established a significant association of rs909253 with cancer risk among multiple populations including North Americans, Asians, and Europeans.
