Treating the gingival epithelial Ca9-22 cell with butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) produced by bacteria within mature dental plaque, induces necrotic cellular death. In this report, it was examined whether SCFA-mediated cellular death is accompanied by a release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). In addition, the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the release of DAMPs was evaluated. Human gingival epithelial Ca9-22 cells were treated with butyrate or propionate. The amounts of dead cells were then measured using SYTOX-green dye. Released DAMPs were detected by western blot. The role of ROS scavengers, ascorbic acid and N-acetylcysteine, on DAMP-release was evaluated. Dose and time-dependent induction of Ca9-22 cell death was observed during butyrate and propionate treatments. This was accompanied by the release of DAMPs. Ascorbic acid or N-acetylcysteine reduced cellular death and inhibited DAMP-release induced by exposure to butyrate or propionate. These data collectively suggest that SCFA-induced death of gingival epithelial Ca9-22 cells and accompanying release of DAMPs are dependent on ROS.

SIRT1 is a NAD-dependent histone deacetylase that is important in a wide variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes. Although many studies have examined the relationship between SIRT1 and cancer, the role of SIRT1 in tumor malignancy is controversial. Here, we examined the effects of the SIRT1 activator CAY10591 in gingival epithelial carcinoma Ca9-22 cells. CAY10591 treatment dose- and time-dependently increased SIRT1 level and activity. The treatment decreased cell growth and induced cell-cycle repressor p21 levels. In addition, dimethyl sulfoxide significantly reduced cellular invasion and migration, and CAY10591 enhanced this decrease. Quantitative PCR analysis showed that CAY10591 decreased expression of several invasion/migration promoter genes and induced repressor genes. Our findings suggest that CAY10591 suppresses cell growth and invasion/migration activity in gingival squamous cell carcinoma Ca9-22 cells.

Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) is a serine protease inhibitor whose expression level is positively correlated with tumor aggressiveness and metastatic potential. However, the mechanism underlying SLPI-induced enhancement of malignant phenotype is not completely understood. The malignancy of cancer cells is highly dependent on cell migration activity. Our previous study revealed that gingival carcinoma Ca9-22 cells, but not colorectal adenocarcinoma HT-29 cells, expressed SLPI. Therefore, we investigated the migration activity of these two cell types to understand the nature of SLPI-mediated tumor aggressiveness and metastatic potential. In vitro wound healing assay indicated that HT-29 cells and SLPI-deleted Ca9-22 cells showed lower migration activity than wild-type Ca9-22 cells, suggesting that SLPI-induced cell migration plays an important role in tumor aggressiveness and metastatic potential. In addition, our gene expression profiling study based on microarray data for the three cell types identified a number of candidates, including LCP1 and GLI, that could be key molecules in the mechanism of SLPI-induced cell migration.

Porphyromonas gingivalis is important in the development of marginal periodontitis. However, the precise role and localization of P. gingivalis in chronic periapical periodontitis remain unclear. Thus, methods that can detect P. gingivalis in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples are needed. We assessed a technique combining loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) with PCR (PCR-LAMP) for detection of P. gingivalis, using 110 FFPE tissue samples of chronic apical periodontitis. PCR-LAMP specifically detected P. gingivalis with high sensitivity in FFPE tissue samples, and the sensitivity of the technique was higher than that of PCR or LAMP alone. The results of immunohistochemistry (IHC) confirmed the specificity of PCR-LAMP. IHC showed that P. gingivalis was localized in a granular layer of chronic apical periodontitis, a region that correlated with the localization of macrophages. This is the first study to describe the localization of P. gingivalis in human periapical periodontitis. In conclusion, PCR-LAMP was an effective tool for detecting P. gingivalis in periapical periodontitis. In addition, IHC results improve our understanding of the role of P. gingivalis in the progression of periapical periodontitis. (J Oral Sci 58, 163-169, 2016)
