Stratified epithelia of the oral cavity are continually exposed to
bacterial challenge that is initially resisted by neutrophils and
epithelial factors, including antimicrobial peptides of the
-defensin family. Previous work has shown that multiple signaling
pathways are involved in human
-defensin (hBD)-2 mRNA regulation in
human gingival epithelial cells stimulated with a periodontal
bacterium, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and other
stimulants. The goal of this study was to further characterize these
pathways. The role of NF-
B in hBD-2 regulation was investigated
initially due to its importance in inflammation and infection. Nuclear
translocation of p65 and NF-
B activation was seen in human gingival
epithelial cells stimulated with F. nucleatum cell wall
extract, indicating possible involvement of NF-
B in hBD-2
regulation. However, hBD-2 induction by F. nucleatum was
not blocked by pretreatment with two NF-
B inhibitors, pyrrolidine
dithiocarbamate and the proteasome inhibitor, MG132. To
investigate alternative modes of hBD-2 regulation, we explored
involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways. F.
nucleatum activated p38 and c-Jun
NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) pathways, whereas it had
little effect on p44/42. Furthermore, inhibition of p38 and JNK
partially blocked hBD-2 mRNA induction by F. nucleatum,
and the combination of two inhibitors completely blocked expression.
Our results suggest that NF-
B is neither essential nor sufficient
for hBD-2 induction, and that hBD-2 regulation by F.
nucleatum is via p38 and JNK, while phorbol ester induces hBD-2
via the p44/42 extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathway. Studies
of hBD-2 regulation provide insight into how its expression may be
enhanced to control infection locally within the mucosa and thereby
reduce microbial invasion into the underlying
tissue.
