ABSTRACT
The differentiation and function of osteocytes are controlled by surrounding cells and mechanical stress; however, the detailed mechanisms are unknown. Recent findings suggest that IL-33 is highly expressed in periodontal tissues in orthodontic tooth movement. The present study aimed to elucidate the effect of IL-33 on the expression of regulatory factors for bone remodeling and their molecular mechanisms in the osteocyte-like cell line MLO-Y4. MLO-Y4 cells were treated with IL-33, and the activation of intracellular signaling molecules and transcriptional factors was determined using Western blot analysis and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. IL-33 treatment enhanced the expression of IL-6 in MLO-Y4 cells, which was suppressed by the knockdown of the IL-33 receptor ST2L. Additionally, IL-33 treatment induced activation of NF-κB, JNK/AP-1, and p38 MAPK signaling pathways in MLO-Y4 cells. Moreover, pretreatment with specific inhibitors of NF-κB, p38 MAPK, and JNK/AP-1 attenuated the IL-33-induced expression of IL-6. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation indicated that IL-33 increased c-Jun recruitment to the IL-6 promoter. Overall, these results suggest that IL-33 induces IL-6 expression and regulates osteocyte function via activation of the NF-κB, JNK/AP-1, and p38 MAPK pathways through interaction with ST2L receptors on the plasma membrane.
