A pleiotropic hormone, leptin, secreted into saliva by the acinar cells of salivary glands is an important mediator of the processes of oral mucosal defense. Here, we report on the role of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) transactivation in the signaling events that mediate leptin protection of sublingual salivary gland acinar cells against ethanol cytotoxicity. We show that the protective effect of leptin against ethanol cytotoxicity was associated with the increased EGFR protein tyrosine kinase and cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) activity, and characterized by a marked increase in matrix metalloproteinase MMP-9 and arachidonic acid (AA) release, and PGE2 generation. The loss in countering capacity of leptin against ethanol cytotoxicity was attained with JAK inhibitor AG490, Src inhibitor PP2, and EGFR inhibitor AG1478, as well as ERK inhibitor PD98059. Moreover, the agents evoked also the inhibition in leptin-induced up-regulation in cPLA2 activity, AA release, and PGE2 generation. The changes caused by leptin in EGFR phosphorylation, MMP-9, and cPLA2 activation were susceptible to suppression by metalloprotease inhibitor GM6001, but the production of MMP-9 was not affected by EGFR inhibitor AG1478 or PKC inhibitor Ro318220. These findings point to the involvement of MMP-9 in the event of leptin-induced EGFR transactivation that results in the signaling cascade leading to cPLA2 activation and up-regulation in PGE2 generation, thus providing new insights into the mechanism of oral mucosal protection against ethanol toxicity.

Advances in understanding the functional aspects of leptin in the processes affecting peripheral tissues have brought to the forefront the role of this pluripotent cytokine in the processes of gastric mucosal defense and repair. Here, we report that leptin protects the gastric mucosal cells against ethanol cytotoxicity. We show that ethanol cytotoxicity, characterized by a marked drop in the mucosal cells capacity for NO production, arachidonic acid release and prostaglandin generation, was subject to suppression by leptin. The loss in countering capacity of leptin on the ethanol-induced cytotoxicity was attained with cyclooxygenase inhibitor, indomethacin and nitric oxide synthase (cNOS) inhibitor, L-NAME, as well as PP2, an inhibitor of Src kinase. Indomethacin caused the inhibition in PGE2 generation, pretreatment with L-NAME led to the inhibition in NO production, whereas PP2 exerted the inhibitory effect on leptin-induced changes in NO, arachidonic acid and PGE2. The leptin-induced changes in arachidonic acid release and PGE2 generation were blocked by ERK inhibitor, PD98059, but not by PI3K inhibitor, wortmannin. Moreover, the stimulatory effect of leptin on the mucosal cells cNOS activity was inhibited not only by PP2, but also by Akt inhibitor, SH-5. Our findings demonstrate that leptin protection of gastric mucosa against ethanol cytotoxicity involves Src kinase-mediated bifurcated activation of MAPK/ERK and Akt that leads to up-regulation of the respective prostaglandin and nitric oxide synthase pathways.
