| Abstract | The TLR9 agonist CpG-oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG-ODN) with a phosphorothioate backbone (PTO-CpG-ODN) is evaluated in clinical trials as a vaccine adjuvant or as treatment of cancers. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) regulate growth and differentiation of several cell types, and also induce apoptosis of cancer cells. Cross-talk between BMP- and TLR-signaling has been reported, and we aimed to investigate whether CpG-ODN influenced BMP-induced osteoblast differentiation or BMP-induced apoptosis of malignant plasma cells. We found that PTO-CpG-ODN inhibited BMP-2-induced osteoblast differentiation from human mesenchymal stem cells. Further, PTO-CpG-ODN counteracted BMP-2- and BMP-6-induced apoptosis of the human myeloma cell lines IH-1 and INA-6, respectively. In contrast, PTO-CpG-ODN did not antagonize the antiproliferative effect of BMP-2 on hMSCs or IH-1 cells. Inhibition of Smad-signaling and p38 MAPK-signaling indicated that apoptosis of IH-1 cells is dependent on Smad-signaling downstream of BMP, whereas the antiproliferative effect of BMP-2 on IH-1 cells also involves p38 MAPK-signaling. Together, the data suggested a specific inhibition by PTO-CpG-ODN on BMP-Smad-signaling. Supporting this we found that PTO-CpG-ODN inhibited BMP-induced phosphorylation of receptor-Smads in human mesenchymal stem cells and myeloma cell lines. This effect appeared to be independent of TLR9 because GpC-ODN and other ODNs with the ability to form multimeric structures inhibited Smad-signaling as efficiently as PTO-CpG-ODNs, and because knockdown of TLR9 by small interfering RNA in INA-6 cells did not blunt the effect of PTO-CpG-ODN. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that PTO-CpG-ODN inhibits BMP-signaling, and thus might provoke unwanted TLR9-independent side effects in patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
