Abstract
Cyclophilin A, a widely prevalent cellular protein, exhibits peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity. This protein is predominantly located in the cytosol; additionally, it can be secreted by the cells in response to inflammatory stimuli. Cyclophilin A has been identified to be a key player in many of the biological events and is therefore involved in several diseases, including vascular and inflammatory diseases, immune disorders, aging, and cancers. It represents an attractive target for therapeutic intervention with small molecule inhibitors such as cyclosporin A. Recently, a number of novel inhibitors of cyclophilin A have emerged. However, it remains elusive whether and how many cyclophilin A inhibitors function in the inflammatory diseases and cancers. In this review, we discuss current available data about cyclophilin A inhibitors, including cyclosporin A and its derivatives, quinoxaline derivatives, and peptide analogues, and outline the most recent advances in clinical trials of these agents. Inhibitors of cyclophilin A are poised to enhance our comprehension of the molecular mechanisms that underpin inflammatory diseases and cancers associated with cyclophilin A. This advancement will aid in the development of innovative pharmaceutical treatments in the future.

Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide and gingival fibroblast augment MMP-9 expression of monocytic U937 cells through cyclophilin A. J Periodontol 2021; 93:449-457. [PMID: 33999413 DOI: 10.1002/jper.19-0740] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2020] [Revised: 07/06/2020] [Accepted: 07/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intercellular cross-talking was suggested in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 expression with unknown mechanisms. Studies showed cyclophilin A (CypA) playing an important role in regulating MMP-9 expression in varied diseases. The aim of the study was to examine the CyPA on the MMP-9 augmentation in monocytic U937 cells after Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment and human gingival fibroblast (hGF) co-culture. METHODS In independent culture or co-culture of hGF and U937 cell, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and zymography were selected to examine the mRNA and protein activity of MMP-9, respectively. The CyPA expression was determined by qPCR. RESULTS LPS could enhance MMP-9 mRNA expression and enzyme activity in U937 cell. However, the enhancements were not observed in hGF. Similarly, LPS enhanced CyPA mRNA in U937, but not in hGF. After co-cultured with hGF, however, MMP-9 and CyPA in U937 increased regardless of the presence/absence of LPS. In U937 cells, the extra-supplied CyPA increased MMP-9 mRNA and enzyme activity, whereas the CyPA inhibitor, cyclosporine A, suppressed the LPS- and co-culture-enhanced MMP-9. Moreover, the inhibitors for MAP kinase, including PD98059 (ERK) and SP600125 (JNK), suppressed the CyPA-enhanced MMP-9 in U937. CONCLUSION Through the CyPA pathway, the LPS and the hGF could augment the MMP-9 expression in the U937 cells.

Abstract
Mycoplasma genitalium protein of adhesion (MgPa) plays an important role in the process of adhesion and invasion of host cells by M. genitalium, and is thus significant for its pathogenic mechanisms in host cells. Our previous study has demonstrated that cyclophilin A (CypA) is the receptor for MgPa in human urothelial cells (SV-HUC-1) and can, therefore, mediate the adherence and invasion of M. genitalium into host cells by interacting with MgPa. However, the specific pathogenesis of M. genitalium to host cells and the possible pathogenic mechanism involved in the interaction of MgPa and CypA have never been clarified. The study aimed to elucidate the mechanism involved in the pathogenicity of MgPa. Recombinant MgPa (rMgPa) induced extracellular CypA (eCypA) was detected in SV-HUC-1 cells by ELISA, and the interaction between CypA and CD147 was validated using co-localization and co-immunoprecipitation assay. In addition, both extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) phosphorylation and NF-κB activation evoked by rMgPa-induced eCypA were also demonstrated. The findings of this study verified that rMgPa could induce the secretion of eCypA in SV-HUC-1 cells and thus promote the protein and mRNA expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and MMP-9 via CypA-CD147 interaction and thus activating ERK-NF-κB pathway, which is beneficial to elucidate the pathogenesis and possible pathogenic mechanism of M. genitalium to host cells.

J Periodontal Res 2020; 55:705-712. [PMID: 32406527 DOI: 10.1111/jre.12759] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2019] [Revised: 04/05/2020] [Accepted: 04/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the expression of cyclophilin A (CyPA) in U937 monocytic cells after coculturing with the human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and the effect of CyPA on the augmentation of MMP-2 expression in the coculture environment. BACKGROUND Leukocyte infiltration in gingival connective tissue is one of the major findings in the lesions of inflammatory periodontal diseases. A crosstalk between the resident gingival fibroblasts and the recruited inflammatory cells that promote the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) was proposed based on recent findings, whereas the cluster of differentiation 147 (CD147)-CyPA pathway was suggested to be involved with the crosstalk. MATERIAL AND METHODS CyPA was released into media, in the independent or transwell coculture of HGF and U937 cells, as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, whereas intracellular mRNA expressions for CyPA and MMP-2 were examined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, in the transwell coculture or conditional medium models. Zymography was conducted to analyze the activities of pro-MMP-2/MMP-2 released into the media. RESULTS (a) A significantly increased CyPA protein level was observed in the transwell coculture media compared with that in the independent culture. (b) The transwell coculture-enhanced mRNA expression for CyPA was noticed in U937 cells but not in HGFs. After adding with HGF-conditioned medium, the mRNA enhancement in U937 cells occurred in a dose-dependent manner. (c) Although the MMP-2 activities significantly increased after transwell coculturing, the MMP-2 mRNA enhancement was observed only in HGFs. (d) Exogenous CyPA could enhance MMP-2 activities in HGFs in a dose-dependent manner. However, the CyPA antagonist reduced the MMP-2 activities in the transwell cocultures. (e) Moreover, the CyPA-enhanced MMP-2 activity in HGF was decreased significantly by the pathway inhibitor for c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK). CONCLUSION Based on the present findings, we suggest that gingival fibroblasts could enhance the CyPA release from U937 cells, via the JNK pathway, resulting in MMP-2 enhancement in fibroblasts. The finding shed light on a new mechanism of cellular interaction involving MMP-2 and CyPA, in two cells.

Abstract
Cyclosporine-A (CsA) is a widely used immunosuppressant. In this study, we explore the pathway through which CsA suppressed the Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (P.g-LPS)-induced increase in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activities in co-cultured human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and THP-1 monocytes. In the co-culture, we found that CsA inhibited the expression of cyclophilin A (CyPA), CD147 and the activities of MMPs, which were all induced by P.g-LPS. We also found that P.g-LPS and recombinant human CyPA increased activation of ERK1/2 and IκB (an NF-κB inhibitory protein), but CsA and the anti-CD147 antibody significantly inhibited these effects. Taken together, CsA in the presence of P.g-LPS might suppress MMP activities by blocking the CyPA/CD147 interaction that results in the inhibition of ERK1/2 and NF-κB signaling by interfering with the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and IκB.

Abstract
Aim Cyclophilin A (CypA)/CD147 signaling plays critical roles in the regulation of inflammation and bone metabolism. This study aimed to investigate the participation of CypA/CD147 in mice periapical lesions progression and its relationship with bone resorption. Methodology Periapical lesions were induced by pulp exposure in the first lower molars of 40 C57BL/6J mice. The mice were sacrificed on days 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, and 49. Mandibles were harvested for X-ray imaging, microcomputed tomography scanning, histologic observation, immunohistochemistry, enzyme histochemistry, and double immunofluorescence analysis. Western blot was employed to further detect the related molecular signaling pathways in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells treated with CypA inhibitor. Results The volume and area of the periapical lesions increased from day 0 to day 35 and remained comparably stable until day 49. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that the CypA expression levels also increased from day 0 to day 35 and decreased until day 49, similar to CD147 expression (R2 = 0.4423, P < 0.05), osteoclast number (R2 = 0.5101, P < 0.01), and the expression of osteoclastogenesis-related matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) (R2 = 0.4715, P < 0.05). Serial sections further confirmed the colocalization of CypA and CD147 on osteoclasts with immunohistochemistry. And the distribution of CypA-positive or CD147-positive cells was positively correlated with the dynamics of MMP-9-positive cells by using immunofluorescence analysis. Furthermore, CD147 and MMP-9 expression in RAW 264.7 cells were both downregulated with CypA inhibitor treatment (P < 0.05). Conclusions The present study reveals the positive correlation of CypA/CD147 signaling and osteoclast-related MMP-9 expression in mice inflammatory periapical lesions progression. Therefore, intervention of CypA/CD147 signaling could probably provide a potential therapeutic target for attenuating inflammatory bone resorption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE This study aimed to discover the distinctive MicroRNAs (miRNA) functioning in the pathogenesis of periodontal inflammation, which might be potential therapy targets of chronic periodontitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS miRNA profiles of human inflamed gingival tissue from three previous microarrays were re-analysed. Gingival tissues were collected for the validation of overlapping miRNAs, and a network was constructed to show regulatory connection between overlapping miRNAs and periodontitis-associated target genes. Potential miRNAs were screened based on their expression levels and predicted target genes. Correlation analysis and binding site prediction were conducted to reveal the relationship between the potential miRNAs and their target genes. RESULTS miR-144-5p, found to be upregulated in all three studies, showed the greatest upregulation (P < 0.0001). Another 16 miRNAs (10 upregulated and six downregulated) overlapped between any two of the three studies. All overlapping miRNAs had expected expression levels except for miR-203 during validation. Ten miRNAs (six upregulated and four downregulated) were found to have periodontal inflammation-associated targets. Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) and interleukin-17F (IL17F), predicted target genes of upregulated miR-144-5p, showed significant decreases and were negatively correlated with miR-144-5p in the periodontitis group (r = -0.742 for COX2, r = -0.615 for IL17F). CONCLUSION This re-analysis of miRNA signatures has implied the potential regulatory mechanism of miR-144-5p and its potential for exploring alternative therapeutic approaches, especially those that use miRNA delivery systems to treat chronic periodontitis. Nevertheless, further study based on larger sample size and homogenous cells is needed to reveal the exact roles of miRNAs in chronic periodontitis.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) serine/threonine kinase PknG plays an important role in the Mtb-host interaction by facilitating the survival of Mtb in macrophages. However, the human proteins with which the PknG interacts, and the underlying molecular mechanisms are still largely unknown. In this study, a HuProt array is been applied to globally identify the host proteins to which PknG binds. In this way, 125 interactors are discovered, including a cyclophilin protein, CypA. This interaction between PknG and CypA is validated both in vitro and in vivo, and functional studies show that PknG significantly reduces the protein levels of CypA through phosphorylation, which consequently inhibit the inflammatory response through downregulation of NF-κB and ERK1/2 pathways. Phenotypically, overexpression of PknG reduces cytokine levels and promotes the survival of Mycobacterium smegmatis (Msm) in macrophages. Overall, it is expected that the PknG interactors identified in this study will serve as a useful resource for further systematic studies of the roles that PknG plays in the Mtb-host interactions.

Abstract
Background Cyclophilin A (CyPA) is a secreted molecule that is regulated by inflammatory stimuli. Although inflammation has an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), little is known regarding the relationship between serum CyPA and COPD. Methods Ninety-three COPD patients with acute exacerbation were enrolled in the study and were reassessed during the convalescence phase. Eighty-eight controls were matched for age, gender, body mass index, smoking index and comorbidity. The basic clinical information and pulmonary function of all participants were collected. Serum levels of CyPA and other inflammation indexes were further measured. Results Serum CyPA was significantly increased in convalescent COPD patients compared to healthy controls, and further elevated in COPD patients with acute exacerbation. Serum CyPA positively correlated with serum interleukin-6, matrix metalloproteinase-9 and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in both the exacerbation and convalescence phases of COPD. Furthermore, it negatively correlated with percent value of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1%) predicted and FEV1/forced vital capacity in convalescent COPD patients. Conclusion These results suggest that serum CyPA can be used as a potential inflammatory biomarker for COPD and assessment of serum CyPA may reflect the severity of inflammation in COPD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cyclophilin A (CypA) is able to regulate inflammatory responses and matrix metalloproteinase production via its interaction with extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN). EMMPRIN is the cell surface receptor of CypA. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) CypA and EMMPRIN levels in patients with chronic periodontitis (CP), generalized aggressive periodontitis (G-AgP) and periodontally healthy controls. METHODS Twenty CP patients, 19 G-AgP patients and 20 healthy control subjects were included in the present study. All study participants were non-smokers. Full mouth clinical periodontal parameters including probing depth, clinical attachment level, plaque index, and papilla bleeding index were recorded. GCF CypA and EMMPRIN levels were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Data were analyzed statistically with parametric and non-parametric tests. RESULTS GCF CypA total amount was higher in the G-AgP group compared to healthy controls (p<0.05), whereas CypA total amounts were similar in CP and healthy controls (p>0.05). No significant difference in GCF CypA total amount between CP and G-AgP was observed (p>0.05). Also, there was no significant difference in GCF EMMPRIN total amounts among the study groups (p>0.05). CONCLUSION Higher levels of GCF CypA in patients with G-AgP might demonstrate that CypA is associated with the inflammatory infiltrate and alveolar bone destruction of G-AgP. However, GCF CypA level does not seem to be affected by CP. Similar GCF EMMPRIN levels in diseased and healthy groups might suggest that EMMPRIN has role in the turn over of connective tissues in physiological conditions as well as pathological state.

Extracellular cyclophilin A possesses chemotaxic activity in cattle. Vet Res 2015; 46:80.

Abstract
Cyclophilin A (CyPA) was originally discovered in bovine thymocytes as a cytosolic binding protein of the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine A. Recent studies have revealed that in mice and humans, CyPA is secreted from cells in injured or infected tissues and plays a role in recruiting inflammatory cells in those tissues. Here we found that in cattle abundant level of extracellular CyPA was observed in tissues with inflammation. To aid in investigating the role of extracellular CyPA in cattle, we generated recombinant bovine CyPA (rbCyPA) and tested its biological activity as an inflammatory mediator. When bovine peripheral blood cells were treated with rbCyPA in vitro, we observed that rbCyPA reacts with the membranous surface of granulocytes, monocytes and lymphocytes. Chemotaxis analysis showed that the granulocytes migrate toward rbCyPA and the migration is inhibited by pre-treatment with an anti-bovine CyPA antibody. These results indicate that, as for mice and humans, extracellular CyPA possesses chemotactic activity to recruit inflammatory cells (e.g., granulocytes) in cattle, and could thus be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of inflammation.

Abstract
The cyclophilin family of peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerases includes several isoforms found to be secreted in response to different stimuli, thus existing both in the interior and the exterior of cells. The extracellular fractions of the cyclophilins CypA and CypB are involved in the control of cell-cell communication. By binding to the cell membrane receptor CD147 and cell surface heparans they elicit a variety of intracellular signaling cascades involved in inflammatory processes. Increased levels of cyclophilins in inflammatory tissues and body fluids are considered as an inflammatory response to injury. Thus, the extracellular portion of cyclophilins probably plays an important role in human diseases associated with acute or chronic inflammation like rheumatoid arthritis, sepsis, asthma and cardiovascular diseases. Specific inhibition of the cyclophilins in the extracellular space may open an effective therapeutic approach for treating inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Cyclophilin A (CyPA) is a ubiquitously distributed protein belonging to the immunophilin family. CyPA has peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) activity, which regulates protein folding and trafficking. Although CyPA was initially believed to function primarily as an intracellular protein, recent studies have revealed that it can be secreted by cells in response to inflammatory stimuli. Current research in animal models and humans has provided compelling evidences supporting the critical function of CyPA in several human diseases. This review discusses recently available data about CyPA in cardiovascular diseases, viral infections, neurodegeneration, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, sepsis, asthma, periodontitis and aging. It is believed that further elucidations of the role of CyPA will provide a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying these diseases and will help develop novel pharmacological therapies.
