  ABSTRACT: Matrix metalloproteinas-9 (MMP-9) is a glycosylated endopeptidase, and hence its processing between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi and trans-Golgi (TGN) network remains under a strict control of factors that affect the microtubule (MT) stabilization, and the recruitment and activation of coat and cargo proteins, including ADP-ribosylation factors (Arfs) and protein kinase D (PKD). Here, we report on the factors implicated in the regulation of MMP-9 secretion by salivary gland acinar cells in response to P. gingivalis LPS, and the effect of hormone, ghrelin. We show that the LPS-elicited induction in MMP-9 secretion is associated with the increase in α-tubulin acetylation and the enhancement in MT stabilization, while the modulatory effect of ghrelin is reflected in a decrease in α-tubulin acetylation. Further, the effect of the LPS occurs in concert with up-regulation in Arf-guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF)-mediated Arf1 activation and the TGN recruitment of PKD2, while ghrelin exerts the modulatory effect on Arf-GEF activation. Moreover, we reveal that the LPS-induced up-regulation in MMP-9 secretion is reflected in a marked increase in PKCδ-mediated PKD2 phosphorylation on Ser, while the modulatory effect of ghrelin is manifested by the SFK-PTKs-dependent phosphorylation of PKD2 on Tyr. The findings demonstrate that MT stabilization along with Arf-GEF-mediated Arf1/PKD2 activation play a major role in P. gingivalis LPS-induced up-regulation in salivary gland acinar cell MMP-9 secretion, and point the modulatory mode of action by ghrelin.
