Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the effect of integrin β1 (Itgb1) in mediating gingipain-induced cell cycle arrest in osteoblasts.

Methods

MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with 8.348 U/L gingipains from 12 to 72 h. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and Propidium Iodide/Rnase (PI/Rnase) staining were used to detect the proliferation activity and cell cycle distribution of G0/G1, S, G2/M phases. The expression of cyclin D1 and CDK4 were evaluated by western blotting after gingipain treatment for 12 h. MC3T3-E1 cells were transducted with lentivirus encoding mouse Itgb1 to overexpress Itgb1. All data were analyzed by SPSS 22.0 software package.

Results

CCK-8 assay showed that 8.348 U/L gingipain treatment inhibited cellular proliferation from 12 to 72 h. The percentage of cells in G0/G1 phase was increased from (62.0 ± 2.0) % to (88.2 ± 2.3) % (F = 35.218, P<0.001) , and the percentage of cells in S phase was decreased from (36.8 ± 6.2) % to (5.9 ± 2.3) % (F= 33.980, P<0.001) compared to control cells. Western blotting showed the protein expression of cyclin D1 and CDK4 were reduced by about 65.0% (Fcyclin D1= 60.294, Pcyclin D1<0.001) and 40.3% (FCDK4= 19.212, PCDK4= 0.002) compared to control cells. Meanwhile, gingipains reduced Itgb1 protein level, overexpression of Itgb1 partially reversed gingipain-induced cell cycle arrest. The percentage of cells in S phase was significantly higher in LV-Itgb1 cells (14.4 ± 3.1) % than that in LV-Ctrl cells (5.8 ± 1.1) % upon gingipain treatment (F= 39.226, P= 0.017) . Similar effects of overexpression of Itgb1 were observed in cyclin D1 and CDK4 down-regulation (Fcyclin D1= 61.740, Pcyclin D1= 0.033; FCDK4= 41.635, PCDK4= 0.014) .

Conclusion

Itgb1 is involved in mediating cell cycle arrest induced by gingipains in osteoblasts.
