摘要

Background/purpose: Oral submucosal fibrosis (OSF) is a premalignant disorder positively associated with betel nut chewing. Recent studies supported the promising benefits of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors for fibrosis treatment. Here we aim to clarify the pro-fibrogenic role of HDAC9 in regulating OSF. Materials and methods: Healthy and OSF specimens were collected to investigate the clinical significance of HDAC9. Chronic arecoline treatment process was used to induce arecoline-mediated myofibroblasts-related activation of primary buccal mucosa fibroblasts (BMFs). Functional analysis of collagen gel contraction, transwell migration, and wound-healing assays were performed to assess the change in pro-fibrogenic properties of BMFs and fibrotic BMFs (fBMFs). Lentiviral-mediated HDAC9 knockdown was used to verify the role of HDAC9 in the pro-fibrogenic process. Results: We found that arecoline significantly increased the mRNA and protein expression of HDAC9 of BMFs in a dose-dependent manner. Knockdown of HDAC9 in BMFs reversed the strengthened effects of arecoline on collagen gel contraction, cell migration, and wound-healing ability. We further demonstrated that knockdown of HDAC9 in fBMFs significantly attenuated its inherent pro-fibrogenic properties. Furthermore, we confirmed a significantly increased expression of HDAC9 mRNA in OSF compared to normal tissues, which suggested a positive correlation between the up-regulation of HDAC9 and OSF. Conclusion: We demonstrated that silencing of HDAC9 inhibited arecoline-induced activation and inherent pro-fibrogenic properties, suggesting potential therapeutics by targeting HDAC9 in the OSF treatment.
