One of the major causes of tooth loss is chronic inflammation of the periodontium, the tissues surrounding the tooth. Amelotin ( AMTN ) is a tooth enamel protein which is expressed in maturation‐stage ameloblasts and also in the internal basal lamina of junctional epithelium, a unique epithelial structure attached to the tooth surface which protects against the constant microbiological challenge to the periodontium. Localization of AMTN suggests that its function could be involved in the dentogingival attachment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of interleukin‐1β ( IL ‐1β) on AMTN gene transcription in human gingival epithelial Ca9‐22 cells. IL ‐1β increased AMTN mRNA and protein levels at 3 h, and the levels reached maximum at 6 and 12 h. IL ‐1β induced luciferase activities of human AMTN gene promoter constructs (−211, −353, −501, −769, and −950AMTN), but these activities were partially inhibited in −353AMTN constructs that included 3‐bp mutations in CCAAT /enhancer binding protein 1 (C/ EBP 1), C/ EBP 2, and Ying Yang 1 ( YY 1) elements. Transcriptional activities induced by IL ‐1β were abrogated by protein kinase A ( PKA ), tyrosine kinase, mitogen‐activated protein kinase kinase ( MEK 1/2), and phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase ( PI 3K) inhibitors. Gel shift and ChIP assays showed that IL ‐1β increased C/ EBP β binding to C/ EBP 1 and C/ EBP 2, and YY 1 binding to YY 1 elements after 3 h, and that these DNA –protein interactions were inhibited by PKA , tyrosine kinase, MEK 1/2, and PI 3K inhibitors. These results demonstrated that IL ‐1β increases AMTN gene transcription in human gingival epithelial cells mediated through C/ EBP 1, C/ EBP 2, and YY 1 elements in the human AMTN gene promoter.

Junctional epithelium (JE) develops from reduced enamel epithelium during tooth formation and is critical for the maintenance of healthy periodontal tissue through ensuring appropriate immune responses and the rapid turnover of gingival epithelial cells. We have previously shown a relationship between inflammatory cytokines and expression of JE‐specific genes, such as amelotin (AMTN), in gingival epithelial cells. Here, we elucidated the effects of Porphyromonas gingivalis‐derived lipopolysaccharide (PgLPS) on Amtn gene transcription and the interaction of transcription factors. To determine the molecular basis of transcriptional regulation of the Amtn gene by PgLPS, we performed real‐time PCR and carried out luciferase assays using a mouse Amtn gene promoter linked to a luciferase reporter gene in mouse gingival epithelial GE1 cells. Gel mobility shift and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays were performed to identify response elements bound to LPS‐induced transcription factors. Next, we analyzed protein levels of the LPS‐induced transcription factors and the interaction of transcription factors by western blotting and immunoprecipitation. LPS increased Amtn mRNA levels and elevated luciferase activities of constructs containing regions between −116 and −238 of the mouse Amtn gene promoter. CCAAT/enhancer‐binding protein (C/EBP) 1–, C/EBP2– and Ying Yang 1 (YY1)–nuclear protein complexes were increased by LPS treatment. Furthermore, we identified LPS‐modulated interactions with C/EBPβ, YY1 and Smad3. These results demonstrate that PgLPS regulates Amtn gene transcription via binding of C/EBPβ–Smad3 and YY1–Smad3 complexes to C/EBP1, C/EBP2 and YY1 response elements in the mouse Amtn gene promoter.

Junctional epithelium (JE) demonstrates biological responses with the rapid turnover of gingival epithelial cells. The state occurs in inflammation of gingiva and wound healing after periodontal therapy. To understand the underlying mechanisms and to maintain homeostasis of JE, it is important to investigate roles of JE‐specific genes. Amelotin (AMTN) is localized at JE and regulated by inflammatory cytokines and apoptotic factors that represent a critical role of AMTN in stabilizing the dentogingival attachment, which is an entrance of oral bacteria. In this study, we demonstrated that the AMTN gene expression was regulated by SNAI2 and transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1)‐induced epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) that occurs in wound healing and fibrosis during chronic inflammation. SNAI2 downregulated AMTN gene expression via SNAI2 bindings to E‐boxes (E2 and E4) in the mouse AMTN gene promoter in EMT of gingival epithelial cells. Meanwhile, TGFβ1‐induced AMTN gene expression was attenuated by SNAI2 and TGFβ1‐induced SNAI2, without inhibition of the TGFβ1‐Smad3 signaling pathway. Moreover, SNAI2 small interfering RNA (siRNA) rescued SNAI2‐induced downregulation of AMTN gene expression, and TGFβ1‐induced AMTN gene expression was potentiated by SNAI2 siRNA. Taken together, these data demonstrated that AMTN gene expression in the promotion of EMT was downregulated by SNAI2. The inhibitory effect of AMTN gene expression was an independent feedback on the TGFβ1‐Smad3 signaling pathway, suggesting that the mechanism can be engaged in maintaining homeostasis of gingival epithelial cells at JE and the wound healing phase.
