IL12, IL10, IFNγ and TNFα Expression in Human Primary Monocytes Stimulated with Bacterial Heat Shock GroEL (Hsp64) Protein

Abstract: Actinobacillus (Aggregatibacter) actinomycetemicomitans (Aa) is a bacterium that lives in the oral cavity and plays an important role in periodontal diseases. The effect of A.actinomycetemcomitans’s heat shock family protein GroEL on host or immune cells including monocytes is quite limited. In this study, the recombinant A.actinomycetemcomitans’s GroEL protein (rAaGroEL) was used as an antigen and its effects on monocytes of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was investigated. To do that, PBMCs were s… Show more

“…Despite this structural conservation, previous reports have shown additional functions of chaperonins besides those to assist protein folding and to protect proteins from denaturation [ 21 31 ]. The divergent sequences observed in the substrate-binding domains of chaperonins from group I in comparison of sequences from group II chaperonin subunits might be related with the multiple unexpected biological activities of bacterial HSPs that have been identified, such as induction of proinflammatory molecules [ 24 – 28 ] and adheshion of the host components [ 23 , 58 62 ], as described here. In conclusion, leptospiral GroEL protein may contribute to the adhesion of leptospires to host tissues, stimulate the production of cytokines during infection and be involved in the pathogenesis of leptospirosis.…”

“…Since several bacterial HSPs have been identified as potent proinflammatory agents [ 24 – 28 ], we investigated the cytokine expression profiles of murine macrophage cell line J774.1 stimulated with different concentrations of GroEL protein. As shown in the Fig.…”

“…Literature data indicate that bacterial heat shock protein (GroEL, Cpn60), originating from different bacteria, induces the expression of cytokines in cells of the host's immune system 30,31 . It is known that chaperonin Cpn60 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis induce production of TNF-α in human monocyte cell line, THP-1 32,33 .…”

“…In addition, since P.gingivalis GroEL increased the secretion of IL -6 and IL -8, it may be possible that P. gingivalis has take part in osteoclastogenesis via the activation of receptor activator of nuclear factor κ-B ligand mRNA and the inhibition of alkaline phosphatase mRNA in periodontal ligament cells(28) . Furthermore, GroEL has been reported to induce the expression of TNFα and IFNγ in human monocytes(29) . Therefore, nasal immunization using P. gingivalisGroEL as an immunogen may suppress the pathogenic activity of GroEL that leads to the destruction of periodontal tissue and bone.…”
