  Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease displaying ultrastructural disturbances in epithelial hemidesmosomes. The expression of several key hemidesmosomal components in OLP as well as in normal buccal mucosa is, however, unknown. The aim of the study was therefore to examine intracellular and extracellular components involved in hemidesmosomal attachment, in OLP (n = 20) and in normal buccal mucosa (n = 10), by immunofluorescence. In normal buccal mucosa, laminin‐α3γ2, integrin‐α6β4, CD151, collagen α‐1(XVII) chain, and dystonin showed linear expression along the basal membrane, indicating the presence of type I hemidesmosomes. Plectin stained most epithelial cell membranes and remained unphosphorylated at S4642. In OLP, most hemidesmosomal molecules examined showed disturbed expression consisting of discontinuous increases, apicolateral location, and/or intracellular accumulation. Plectin showed S4642‐phosphorylation at the basement membrane, and deposits of laminin‐α3 and laminin‐γ2 were found within the connective tissue. The disturbed expression of hemidesmosomal proteins in OLP indicates deficient attachment of the basal cell layer, which can contribute to detachment and cell death of basal keratinocytes seen in the disease.

  Keratins form intermediate filaments of the cytoskeleton in keratinocytes and have roles in cell structure, signaling, intracellular transport, and cell death. Oral lichen planus (OLP) is an oral inflammatory disease with derangements in basal keratinocytes and disruption of the basal membrane. Here, we focused on epithelial expression of keratins 8, 18, and 19 because these proteins are known to modulate cell death. Biopsies were taken from buccal oral mucosa of persons with normal oral mucosa (n = 10) or atrophic OLP (n = 10). Cultured normal oral keratinocytes (n = 4) showed expression of mRNA and protein for keratins 8, 18, and 19. Immunohistochemistry showed consistent staining for keratins 8 and 18 in basal keratinocytes of normal oral mucosa. In OLP, staining for keratin (K)8 was mostly negative and staining for K18 was weak. Keratin 19 was expressed irregularly in most biopsies of normal oral mucosa and not at all in OLP. Several mononuclear leukocytes in the cellular infiltrate showed membrane staining for K8 and K18. Positive staining for K16 confirmed partial collapse of the basal cell layer in OLP. The basal cell niche in OLP therefore appeared to be partly populated with keratinocytes demonstrating a higher degree of differentiation (K8− K18− K19− K16+); consequently, such areas may be more susceptible to the action of cell death factors released from the cell infiltrate as a result of lacking the protective, normal keratin present in the basal epithelial cell layer of normal oral mucosa.

  Abstract Objectives: The presence of and the causative role of high-risk human papilloma virus (HPV) is a subject of controversy in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The disagreement can be related to the misclassification of OSCC as oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma and/or lack of standard detection methods. This study aimed to examine the presence of transcriptionally active high-risk HPV in a homogenous Norwegian cohort of primary and second primary OSCC of the mobile tongue (oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma—OTSCC). Methods: Tissue microarrays containing formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded cores of 146 OTSCC from the anterior 2/3 of the tongue (n = 128 primary and n = 18 second primary) from a multicentric Norwegian cohort were examined for the presence of high-risk HPV by DNA- and RNA-in situ hybridization (ISH) assays and p16 immunohistochemistry. Results: Transcriptionally active HPV (E6/E7 mRNA) was not identified in any of the OTSCC specimens. In parallel, no tumors were positive for HPV by DNA ISH. Although, 61 (42%) OTSCC demonstrated p16 positivity with varying staining intensity and subcellular localization, only two cases demonstrated strong and uniform p16-staining (both cytoplasmic and nuclear) in >70% of cancer cells. The absence of transcriptionally active high-risk HPV in this cohort of OTSCC indicates that high-risk HPV is an unlikely causative factor in the present material.

  Streptococcus mitis (S. mitis) is a pioneer commensal bacterial species colonizing many of the surfaces of the oral cavity in healthy individuals. Yet, not much information is available regarding its interaction with the host. We used examination of its transcriptional regulation in oral keratinocytes to elucidate some of its potential roles in the oral cavity. Transcription factor analysis of oral keratinocytes predicted S. mitis-mediated activation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Activation and functionality of AhR was confirmed through nuclear translocation determined by immunofluorescence microscopy and real-time polymerase chain reaction with reverse transcription analysis of CYP1A1, the hallmark gene for AhR activation. Addition of Streptococcus mutans or Streptococcus gordonii did not induce CYP1A1 transcription in the keratinocyte cultures. Introduction of an AhR-specific inhibitor revealed that S. mitis-mediated transcription of CXCL2 and CXCL8 was regulated by AhR. Elevated levels of prostaglandin E2 (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) in supernatants from S. mitis-treated oral epithelial cells were also attenuated by inhibition of AhR activity. The observed AhR-regulated activities point to a contribution of S. mitis in the regulation of inflammatory responses and thereby to wound healing in the oral cavity. The concept that the oral commensal microbiota can induce AhR activation is important, also in view of the role that AhR has in modulation of T-cell differentiation and as an anti-inflammatory factor in macrophages.

  OBJECTIVE: Epithelial cells participate in wound healing by covering wounds, but also as important mediators of wound healing processes. Topical application of the phospholipid growth factor lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) accelerates dermal wound healing and we hypothesized that LPA can play a role in human oral wound healing through its effects on human oral keratinocytes (HOK). DESIGN: HOK were isolated from gingival biopsies and exposed to LPA. The LPA receptor profile, signal transduction pathways, gene expression and secretion of selected cytokines were analyzed. RESULTS: HOK expressed the receptors LPA1, LPA5 and LPA6 and LPA activated the ERK1/2, JNK and p38 intracellular pathways, substantiated by secretion of IL-6 and IL-8. The early (2h) and intermediate (6h) gene expression profiles of HOK after LPA treatment showed a wide array of regulated genes. The majority of the strongest upregulated genes were related to chemotaxis and inflammation, and became downregulated after 6h. At 6h, genes coding for factors involved in extracellular matrix remodeling and re-epithelialization became highly expressed. IL-36γ, not earlier known to be regulated by LPA, was strongly transcribed and translated but not secreted. CONCLUSIONS: After stimulation with LPA, HOK responded by regulating factors and genes that are essential in wound healing processes. As LPA is found in saliva and is released by activated cells after wounding, our results indicate that LPA has a favorable physiological role in oral wound healing. This may further point towards a beneficial role for application of LPA on oral surgical or chronic wounds.

  Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) has multifaceted immunological functions ranging from maintenance of tolerance to induction of disease. Two human transcript variants of TSLP are described: a long form (variant 1; lfTSLP) consisting of four exons and an alternative, short form (variant 2; sfTSLP) that lacks two exons compared with variant 1. SfTSLP has not been described at the protein level or functionally studied. Here, we demonstrate that the human sfTSLP is the predominant form of TSLP, constitutively expressed at the mRNA and protein level in keratinocytes of oral mucosa and skin and in salivary glands, is released in saliva, and is not regulated in the same manner as the long form. Compared with lfTSLP, sfTSLP exhibits a markedly stronger antibacterial activity. Synthetic sfTSLP did not activate signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) signaling in CD1c+ dendritic cells nor interfered with STAT5 activation by lfTSLP. SfTSLP may, therefore, act as an antimicrobial peptide in the oral cavity and on the skin to create a defense barrier that aids in the control of both commensal and pathogenic microbes. The results show that the two translational products of the TSLP gene have a different expression and different biological properties, and emphasize the importance of analyzing the two TSLP isoforms separately.

  Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a pluripotent mediator that is present in a range of human tissues. Nerve growth factor was originally considered important only in neuronal homeostasis and pathophysiology, but later it was also implicated in the pathophysiology of inflammation, epithelial differentiation, and wound healing. In this study, the distribution of nerve growth factor beta (NGF-b) and pro-NGF, and their receptors – tyrosine kinase A (TrkA) and p75NTR – was examined in human parotid, submandibular, sublingual, and labial salivary glands by immunohistochemistry. Intercalated, striated, and collecting-ducts in all gland types showed strong staining for pro-NGF but only weak cytoplasmic or sparse nuclear staining for NGF-b. Tyrosine kinase A was strongly expressed in the ducts of all gland types, whereas p75NTR expression was mainly confined to collecting ducts. In acini, no or only weak cytoplasmic staining was found for all markers, and some nuclei stained positive for NGF-b, pro-NGF, and TrkA. Western blotting of saliva showed secretion of several forms of pro-NGF, while no mature NGF-b was detected. Salivary pro-NGF may play a role in oral wound healing.

  The multifunctional T-cell-specific adapter protein (TSAd) was originally described in T cells but is also expressed in epithelial cells from the respiratory tract and in endothelium. In this study, we found expression of TSAd messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein in both human and murine oral mucosal epithelium as well as in human primary oral keratinocyte cell cultures. In TSAd(-/-) mice, the mucosa and skin appeared macroscopically normal, but severe disturbances were observed in the fine structures of the basal membrane and intercellular epithelial spaces upon analysis using transmission electron microscopy. Oral epithelial cells from TSAd(-/-) mice displayed decreased migration compared with cells from wild-type mice, whereas overexpression of TSAd in a human epithelial cell line resulted in impaired proliferation. This study is the first to show that TSAd is expressed in normal oral mucosa, that it is important for the normal ultrastructural morphology of the epithelium and the basal membrane, and that it is involved in the migration and proliferation of oral keratinocytes.

  This study examined the expression, in oral keratinocytes and in the major and minor salivary glands, of Trefoil factor family 3 (TFF3) peptide. Trefoil factor family 3 messenger RNA (mRNA) and peptide were detected in cultures of normal oral keratinocytes by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and western blotting, respectively. Trefoil factor family 3 was found, by immunohistochemical analyses, to be expressed in the basal layers of the oral mucosal epithelium. In salivary glands, immunohistochemical staining showed that TFF3 peptide expression was strongest in the mucous acini of the submandibular and the small salivary glands. Serous cells in the same glands showed weak staining. In the parotid gland, many serous acini showed weak positive staining, while other areas did not. In all glands examined, the intercalated, striated, and collecting ducts were moderately TFF3-positive. Double immunostaining confirmed that mucous (MUC5B positive) cells were moderately or strongly positive for TFF3 and that some serous (MUC7 positive) cells showed restricted TFF3 expression, mostly in a granular pattern. The prevalence of the TFF3 peptide in the salivary secretions of healthy volunteers was detected by western blotting of saliva from minor salivary glands (four of five) and the parotid gland (one of five) and of mixed submandibular/sublingual saliva (five of five). In conclusion, the submandibular and small salivary glands appear to be the major producers of oral TFF3, but duct cells of all glands and keratinocytes of the oral mucosa may also contribute as sources of TFF3 in the oral cavity.

  Patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are highly susceptible to chronic marginal periodontitis (CMP) and the lesion is generally characterized by abundant plasma cell infiltration. HIV-induced reduction of CD4+ T cells may indirectly affect local production of immunoglobulins (Ig). Gingival biopsies taken from 10 HIV+ and 12 HIV- control patients with CMP were washed, fixed in ethanol and embedded in paraffin. Sections were examined after immunohistochemical staining with monoclonal antibodies against IgA, IgA1-2, IgG, IgG1-4, IgM and IgE. Ig-containing cells were counted in 3 separate connective tissue zones (subjacent to pocket epithelium, central zone and subjacent to oral epithelium). HIV+ patients showed a remarkably increased density of all Ig-containing cells in the connective tissue zone subjacent to the oral epithelium (p<0.05) and a lower % of IgG2+ cells in the entire gingival section (p<0.05). In HIV+ patients, the density of IgG-containing cells in the gingiva was strongly correlated with the serum IgG concentration. The altered topical distribution might imply impaired restriction of the inflammatory lesion, additional antigenic challenges by unusual microorganisms in the oral cavity, or be secondary to HIV-induced dysregulation of the B-cell system.
