Interleukin-24 is a pleiotropic immunoregulatory cytokine and a member of the IL-20R subfamily of the IL-10 family. The aim of this study was to investigate the regulation of IL-24 in the human oral keratinocyte cell line HOK-16B following infection with Tannerella forsythia, a major periodontal pathogen. T. forsythia induced the expression of IL-24 mRNA and the secretion of glycosylated IL-24 in HOK-16B cells. Glycosylation of IL-24 is linked to its solubility and bioavailability. T. forsythia-stimulated reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced the expression of IL-24, which was regulated by IL-6. The ROS inhibitor N-acetylcysteine and MAPK inhibitors significantly reduced the expression of IL-6 and IL-24 induced by T. forsythia. Recombinant human IL-24 significantly enhanced the expression of IL-1α, IL-8, CXCL10, and MCP-1 in HOK-16B cells. Together, these results indicate that ROS, MAPKs, and IL-6 comprise the axis of IL-24 expression in HOK-16B cells stimulated with T. forsythia. Thus, IL-24 may be involved in inflammation in oral keratinocytes.
白细胞介素-24 是一种多效免疫调节细胞因子,属于白细胞介素-10 家族的 IL-20R 亚家族。本研究旨在探讨人口腔角质细胞系 HOK-16B 在感染主要牙周病原体福赛斯坦纳菌(Tannerella forsythia)后 IL-24 的调节作用。T. forsythia 诱导 HOK-16B 细胞中 IL-24 mRNA 的表达和糖基化 IL-24 的分泌。IL-24 的糖基化与其可溶性和生物利用度有关。T. forsythia 刺激的活性氧(ROS)诱导了 IL-24 的表达,其受到 IL-6 的调节。ROS 抑制剂 N-乙酰半胱氨酸和 MAPK 抑制剂显著降低了 T. forsythia 诱导的 IL-6 和 IL-24 的表达。重组人 IL-24 显著增强了 HOK-16B 细胞中 IL-1α、IL-8、CXCL10 和 MCP-1 的表达。综上所述,这些结果表明,ROS、MAPKs 和 IL-6 构成了 T. forsythia 刺激 HOK-16B 细胞中 IL-24 表达的轴。因此,IL-24 可能参与口腔角质细胞的炎症反应。
