Abstract
타액선 기능 장애는 일반적으로 구강내 타액 부족으로 인한 구강 건조, 감연 및 충치를 유발합니다. 이 연구는 항 노화 유전자인 Klotho가 결핍된 마우스 노화 모델을 사용하여 노화에 따른 타액선의 유전적 및 기능적 변화를 연구하기 위해 수행하였다. 이 연구에서 klotho (-/-) 쥐의 타액선에서 KLF4의 감소를 확인하였고 soluble klotho과 발현은 KLF4 관련 신호전달 기전에 연관된 mTOR, AMPK, SOD1/2 활성화 및 발현을 유도했다. siRNA로 Klotho 발현억제는 KLF4의 발현은 억제하였다. klotho (-/-) 마우스 타액선에서 분과한 primary cultured salivary gland cells (PSGCs)에서 soluble klotho 과발현에 따를 KLF4의 증가는 타액선 기능유도와 관련된 (α-amylase, ZO-1 및 Aqua5)의 발현을 유도하였다. 3D 배양 시스템에서, 세포구체 응집체가 (cell sphere)가 soluble klotho와 KLF4 과발현 세포에서 관찰 되었으며, 또한 타액선기능 마커 단백질의 발현도 증가 하였다. |The dysfunction of salivary glands commonly induces dry mouth, infections, and dental caries caused by a lack of saliva. This study was performed to determine the genetic and functional changes in salivary glands using a klotho (-/-) mouse model. Here, we confirmed the attenuation of KLF4 expression in the salivary glands of klotho (-/-) mice. Soluble klotho overexpression induced KLF4 transcription and KLF4-mediated signaling pathways, including mTOR, AMPK, and SOD1/2. Silencing klotho via siRNA significantly down-regulated KLF4 expression. Additionally, we monitored the function of salivary glands and soluble klotho and/or KLF4 responses and demonstrated that soluble klotho increased the expression of KLF4 and markers of salivary gland function (α-amylase, ZO-1, and Aqua5) in primary cultured salivary gland cells from wild type and klotho (-/-) mice. In a 3D culture system, cell sphere aggregates were observed in soluble klotho- or KLF4-expressing cells and exhibited higher expression levels of salivary gland function‐related proteins than those in nontransfected cells. These results suggest that activation of the klotho-mediated KLF4 signaling pathway contributes to potentiating the function of salivary glands.
