RESUMEN
Abstract The roles and molecular mechanisms of tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like 2 (TIPE2) in periodontitis remain largely unknown. Objective This study aimed to determine the expression of TIPE2 and NF-κB p65 in rat Porphyromonas gingivalis-induced periodontics in vivo. Methodology Periodontal inflammation and alveolar bone resorption were analyzed using western blotting, micro-computed tomography, TRAP staining, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. THP-1 monocytes were stimulated using 1 μg/ml Pg. lipopolysaccharide (Pg.LPS) to determine the expression of TIPE2 in vitro. TIPE2 mRNA was suppressed by siRNA transfection, and the transfection efficiency was proven using western blotting and real-time PCR. The NF-κB pathway was activated by treating the cells with 1 μg/ml Pg.LPS to explore related mechanisms. Results The expression of both TIPE2 and NF-κB p65 was increased in the gingival tissues of rat periodontitis compared with normal tissues. Positive expression of TIPE2 was distributed in inflammatory infiltrating cells and osteoclasts in the marginal lacunae of the alveolar bone. However, strong positive expression of TIPE2 in THP-1 was downregulated after Pg.LPS stimulation. TIPE2 levels negatively correlated with TNF-α and IL-1β. Decreased TIPE2 in THP-1 further promoted NF-κB p65 phosphorylation. Mechanistically, TIPE2 knockdown upregulated NF-κB signaling pathway activity. Conclusions Taken together, these findings demonstrate that TIPE2 knockdown aggravates periodontal inflammatory infiltration via NF-κB pathway. Interventions aimed at increasing TIPE2 may help in the therapeutic applications for periodontitis.
RESUMEN
Objective:To evaluate the role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced protein-8 like-2 (TIPE2) in endogenous protective mechanism of acute lung injury (ALI) in septic mice and the relationship with triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1)/NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome signaling pathway.Methods:Twenty male wild-type mice and 20 TIPE2 knockout mice were divided into 4 groups using a random number table method: wild-type+ sham operation group (group WT-sham), wild-type+ ALI group (group WT-ALI), TIPE2-knockout+ sham operation group (group KO-sham) and TIPE2-knockout+ CLP group (group KO-ALI), with 10 mice in each group.The ALI model was established by cecal ligation and perforation (CLP) in septic mice.Mice were sacrificed after blood samples were obtained from the abdominal aorta at 24 h after CLP, and lung tissue specimens were obtained for microscopic examination of pathological changes (with a light microscope) which were scored and for determination of wet/dry weight ratio (W/D ratio), myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, expression of TIPE2, TREM-1, NLRP3, caspase-1 and GSDMD (by Western blot), and concentrations of interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and IL-18 in serum (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay).Results:Compared with group WT-sham, the lung injury score, W/D ratio, MPO activity and concentrations of IL-1β and IL-18 in serum were significantly increased, the expression of TREM-1, NLRP3, caspase-1 and GSDMD was up-regulated, and the expression of TIPE2 was down-regulated in group WT-ALI and group KO-ALI ( P<0.05). Compared with group WT-ALI, the lung injury score, W/D ratio, MPO activity and concentrations of IL-1β and IL-18 in serum were significantly increased, the expression of TREM-1, NLRP3, caspase-1 and GSDMD was up-regulated, and the expression of TIPE2 was down-regulated in group KO-ALI ( P<0.05). Conclusion:TIPE2 is involved in endogenous protective mechanism of ALI in septic mice, which is related to inhibition of activation of TREM-1/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway.

Objective:To evaluate the role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced protein-8 like-2 (TIPE2) in endogenous protective mechanism of acute lung injury (ALI) in septic mice and the relationship with transforming growth factor-β-activated protein kinase (TAK1)/p38-mitogen-activated phosphokinase (p38 MAPK)/nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway.Methods:Sixteen male wild-type mice and 16 TIPE2-knockout mice, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 20-25 g, were randomly divided into 4 groups: wild-type sham operation group (group WT-sham), wild-type ALI group (group WT-ALI), TIPE2-knockout sham operation group (group KO-sham) and TIPE2-knockout ALI group (group KO-ALI), with 8 mice in each group.The ALI model was established by cecal ligation and perforation (CLP) in septic mice.Mice were sacrificed at 24 h after CLP to acquire left carotid artery blood samples and lung tissue sections.Lung tissue sections were stained with hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) to examine the pathological changes and lung injury scores were assessed.Arterial blood samples were collected from the left carotid artery for blood gas analysis, and oxygenation index (OI) was calculated.Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was collected to measure polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) count.The expression of TIPE2, phosphorylated TAK1 (p-TAK1), phosphorylated p38 MAPK (p-p38) MAPK and phosphorylated NF-κB p65 (p-NF-κB p65) was detected using Western blot analysis.The levels of interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and IL-6 in serum were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results:Compared with group WT-sham, the lung injury score, PMN counts and concentrations of IL-1β and IL-6 in serum were significantly increased, the expression of p-TAK1, p-p38 MAPK and p-NF-κB p65 was up-regulated, the PaO 2 and OI were decreased, and the expression of TIPE2 was down-regulated in WT-ALI and KO-ALI groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group WT-ALI, the lung injury score, PMN counts and concentrations of IL-1β and IL-6 in serum were significantly increased, the expression of p-TAK1, p-p38 MAPK and p-NF-κB p65 was up-regulated, the PaO 2 and OI were decreased, and the expression of TIPE2 was down-regulated in group KO-ALI ( P<0.05). Conclusion:TIPE2 is involved in the endogenous protective mechanism underlying ALI in septic mice, which is related to inhibiting activation of TAK1/p38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the regulation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like 2 (TNFAIP8L2, TIPE2) in the peripheral blood-derived macrophages of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Methods The expression of TIPE2 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and macrophages from SLE patients were detected by Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The TIPE2 protein levels in SLE PBMCs and peripheral blood-derived macrophages were detected by western blot, flow cytometry and immunofluorescence staining, respec-tively. Data were analyzed by t test and Spearman correlation analysis. Results The TIPE2 mRNA expres-sion in PBMCs of SLE patients was significantly lower than that of healthy controls [(0.41 ±0.14) vs (1.06±0.39), t=5.376, P<0.01], as well as the TIPE2 protein level [(0.40 ±0.21) vs (1.09 ±0.26), t=2.963, P<0.05]. The expression of TIPE2 mRNA in peripheral blood-derived macrophages from SLE patients was significantly decreased [(0.56±0.24) vs (1.07±0.38), t=5.203, P<0.01). Moreover, TIPE2 mRNA level of peripheral blood-derived macrophages was negatively correlated with systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) score (r=-0.60, P<0.01), 24-hour urinary protein (r=-0.46, P<0.05) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (r=-0.46, P<0.05) in SLE patients. The percentage of TIPE2+cells in peripheral blood-derived macrophages (TIPE2+/CD14+)％ from SLE patients was significantly lower than that in healthy controls [(51.4 ±18.5)％ vs (82.4 ±7.5)％, t=2.679, P<0.05]. After 24 hours co-cultured with MSCs, the TIPE2 mRNA expression in SLE per-ipheral blood-derived macrophages was significantly increased [(2.2 ±0.7) vs (1.0 ±0.3), t=3.729, P<0.05). Immunofluorescence results showed the same increase of TIPE2 protein in SLE peripheral blood-derived macrophages [(0.112 ±0.020) vs (0.074 ±0.016), t=3.268, P<0.05]. Conclusion The TIPE2 level in peripheral blood-derived macrophages of SLE patients are decreased. MSCs upregulate the TIPE2 expression in vitro, suggesting that TIPE2 can be a new target for MSCs in the treatment of SLE.
RESUMEN
The tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like (TNFAIP8, TIPE) family is recently identified proteins consisting of four highly homologous mammalian proteins: TIPE, TIPE1, TIPE2, and TIPE3. Although the four members share similar molecular structure and function, involving effects in pathophysiological processes of inflammation, immunity, tumors, stroke, angiogenesis, and other diseases, they have individual characteristics. Many studies have shown that TIPE2 is an essential negative regulator of both innate and adaptive immunity. Up-regulation of TIPE2 expression can alleviate excessive inflammation during septic shock and maintain hemostasis of macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, T cells, and B cells. In this review, we summarize the current literature for structure feature, immune function, and regulatory mechanism of TIPE2, together with its clinical significance in the pathogenesis of immune disorders of a wide array of human diseases. Understanding the basic biology of this new molecule might help us to seek novel strategies for the immunomodulation of human diseases.
RESUMEN
Liver and gastrointestinal tumors greatly threaten human health and have poor therapeutic outcomes and prognosis.Tumor necrosis factor -alpha -induced protein 8 -like 2 (TIPE2)can negatively regulate innate immunity and adaptive immunity and maintain immune ho-meostasis.Recent studies have found that TIPE2 can affect various signaling pathways and thus exerts an inhibitory effect on the development and progression of tumors.This article briefly introduces the structure and function of TIPE2 and its regulatory effect on tumor -related sig-naling pathways such as Ras,Ral,and Rac and downstream molecules,as well as the role of TIPE2 in liver and gastrointestinal tumors,re-lated signaling pathways,and research advances.
RESUMEN
Autoimmune disease is a condition arisen from an abnormal immune response to the tissue cells itself, its precise mechanism remains unknown, and the failure to distinguish self from non-self is often termed a breach of tolerance and is the basis for autoimmune illness. The tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induced protein 8 like-2 (TIPE2) is a newly discovered member of TNF-α induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) family which is an essential negative controller of both innate and adaptive immunity. It has been documented that marked expressions of TIPE2 are evident in various autoimmune diseases, including autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), myasthenia gravis (MG) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which appear to be closely related to the severity, progression as well as prognosis of the illness, thereby contribute to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Deficient expression of TIPE2 might contribute to the hyper-reactivity of auto-reactive lymphocytes and macrophages, or aggregate inflammatory reaction by prompting high concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines in peripheral blood, thus, trigger the development and progression of autoimmune diseases. In addition, dysregulation of immune homeostasis could be another latent target involved into the mechanism of autoimmune diseases. The present paper summarized the potential role and its mechanism of TIPE2 in the development of autoimmune diseases.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the characteristics of the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell(MSC)in children with aplastic anemia(AA)in vitro,and the expressions of tumor necrosis factor -α-induced protein -8 -like 2(TIPE2)in the bone marrow,and the correlation between the level of TIPE2 mRNA with γ-interferon(IFN -γ)and IL -6 in AA patients.Methods Bone marrow samples were collected from 1 8 children with AA(AA group)and 8 children with bone injury (control group)who were hospitalized in Jinan Children′s Hospital from January 201 2 to June 201 5.MSC were isolated and cultured.The morphology of MSC was observed and immune phenotype was detected.The TIPE2 mRNA was detected by using real -time fluorescence quantitative PCR,and the levels of IFN -γand IL -6 were detected by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.Results Different sizes had been presented in the primi-tive MSC of AA patients,but the third passage MSC until 80% confluence had manifested the uniform convergence with long spindle and swirl distribution.In the sixth passage,cells showed degenerative change.The primitive and first pa-ssage MSC in patients with AA was longer than that in the controls.CD73 ,CD1 05 ,CD44 and CD90 were expressed in MSC,while CD34 ,CD45 ,CD271 expressed rarely.The level of TIPE2 mRNA in AA patients (5.29 ±1 .56)was obviously lower than that of the control group(8.68 ±2.00),and the difference was significant(t =-4.48,P 0.05).Conclusions The proliferation of MSC is significantly reduced in patients with AA.TIPE2,as an important role to stabilize the immune system,plays an important role in the occurrence of AA by its low expression and up -regula-ting the expression of inflammatory factors.
RESUMEN
Objective To observe the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α induced protein 8 like-2 (TIPE2) in CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells ( CD4 + CD25 + Tregs) and analyze its potential effect on immunosuppressive activity of CD4 + CD25 + Tregs. Methods CD4 + CD25 + Tregs were purified from spleen of the BALB/c mice by using magnetic cell sorting system.The expressions of TIPE2 mRNA and protein in CD4 + CD25 + Tregs were detected by using RT-PCR and Western blot.CD4 + CD25 +Tregs were further infected with the recombinant lentiviruses that carried small interference RNA(siRNA)to knock down the TIPE2 expression.Based on the expressions of cell surface molecules including cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen (CTLA)-4 and forkhead/winged helix transcription factor p3 (Foxp3) detected by flow cytometry and the levels of cytokines including interleukin (IL)-10 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-3 examined by ELISA in CD4 + CD25 + Tregs,the functional role of TIPE2 in controlling suppressive activity of CD4 + CD25 + Tregs was analyzed.In the meantime,the proliferation activities of T effector cells were assayed by MTT test. Results A 147 bp TTPE2 gene band and a clear TIPE2 band with a molecular mass of approximately 21 000 in CD4 + CD25 + Tregs were detected by using Westem blot.Cell surface molecule as well as cytokine expressions were significantly down-regulated when the CD4 + CD25 + Treg stimulated and activated by anti-CD3/CD28 was cultured for 24 hours after the siRNA silenced CD4 + CD25 + Treg cells ( P ＜ 0.01 ).Meanwhile,the suppression role of CD4 +CD25 + Tregs on the proliferation activity of T effector cells was weakened obviously ( P ＜ 0.05 ). Conclusions As an important immunoregulatory molecule,TIPE2 not only expresses in the CD4 + CD25 +Tregs,but also affects the immunosuppressive function of CD4 + CD25 + Tregs.
