JNK对转化生长因子β1所致大鼠腹膜间皮细胞转分化的调控作用

目的 探讨c-Jun 氨基末端激酶(JNK)在转化生长因子β1(TGF-β1)诱导大鼠腹膜间皮细胞（RPMC）转分化中的调控作用。 方法 采用腹腔注射胰蛋白酶法分离培养RPMC，取第2代腹腔间皮细胞用于实验研究。观察TGF-β1对α平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)、Ⅰ型胶原(ColⅠ)、E钙黏蛋白(E-cadherin)以及磷酸化(p)JNK表达的影响；应用JNK特异性抑制剂SP600125预处理细胞后，观察其对TGF-β1所致上述作用的影响。RT-PCR法检测α-SMA、ColⅠ及E-cadherin mRNA表达；Western印迹法检测α-SMA、ColⅠ、E-cadherin及p-JNK蛋白表达；间接免疫荧光检测α-SMA在细胞内的表达和分布。 结果 TGF-β1刺激RPMC能导致α-SMA、ColⅠ蛋白表达上调，E-cadherin蛋白表达下调，呈时间依赖性。TGF-β1刺激RPMC 5 min出现p-JNK表达上调，10 min达高峰(P < 0.01)。SP600125能够抑制JNK的磷酸化(P < 0.05)，也能抑制TGF-β1诱导的α-SMA、ColⅠmRNA和蛋白的高表达以及E-cadherin表达的下调 (均P < 0.05)。间接免疫荧光结果显示，TGF-β1刺激RPMC 48 h，胞内α-SMA表达明显增多，SP600125能有效抑制其高表达。 结论 JNK在TGF-β1诱导大鼠腹膜间皮细胞转分化中具有重要的调控作用，JNK特异性抑制剂的应用可能为临床防治腹膜纤维化提供新的途径。

目的　探讨RhoA-Rock信号通路在转化生长因子β1（TGF-β1）诱导大鼠腹膜间皮细胞（RPMC）转分化中的作用。 方法　体外培养SD大鼠原代腹膜间皮细胞,静止24 h后,采用随机数字表法随机分为以下4组：正常对照组、TGF-β1（10 μg/L）刺激组、TGF-β1（10 μg/L）＋Y-27632（Rock特异性抑制剂,10 μmol/L）组（Y-27632预处理2 h）、Y-27632（10 μmol/L）组。用TGF-β1（10 μg/L）刺激RPMC不同时间,观察α平滑肌肌动蛋白（α-SMA）,E钙黏素（E-cadherin）、Ⅰ型胶原（ColⅠ）的表达。RT-PCR法检测E-cadherin、α-SMA 和ColⅠmRNA表达。Western印迹法检测RhoA（包括总RhoA及活化的RhoA）、E-cadherin、α-SMA、ColⅠ和波形蛋白（vimentin）表达。活化的RhoA由膜蛋白提取试剂盒提取。 结果 （1）TGF-β1（10 μg/L）刺激RPMC能诱导RhoA活化,于10 min开始出现活性升高,为对照组的（2.57±0.52）倍（P < 0.05）;1 h达高峰,为对照组的（4.35±0.41）倍（P < 0.05）。（2）TGF-β1（10 μg/L）刺激RPMC能导致E-cadherin mRNA和蛋白表达下调,α-SMA、ColⅠmRNA和蛋白表达上调,呈时间依赖性。（3）Rock特异性抑制剂Y-27632能显著下调α-SMA、ColⅠmRNA的表达,较TGF-β1刺激组各降低了53.8%和55.7%（均P < 0.05）,并且能下调α-SMA、ColⅠ和vimentin蛋白的表达,较TGF-β1刺激组分别降低了42.6%、60.1%和58.1%（均P < 0.05）,但不能上调E-cadherin mRNA和蛋白的表达。 结论　TGF-β1可通过RhoA-Rock信号通路介导大鼠腹膜间皮细胞转分化,抑制该通路可作为防治腹膜纤维化的潜在靶点。     

转化生长因子β1对人腹膜间皮细胞结缔组织生长因子的影响

目的 观察转化生长因子(TGF)β1对人腹膜间皮细胞(HPMCs)结缔组织生长因子(CTGF)的mRNA和蛋白表达影响并探讨其可能的机制。方法 原代培养HPMCs，用5ng／ml TGF-β1刺激第3代细胞，采用免疫组织化学染色、Western印迹、ELISA和RT-PCR等方法，观察CTGF的mRNA和蛋白表达、纤连蛋白(FN)和Ⅰ型胶原(ColⅠ)的mRNA和蛋白表达，细胞内磷酸化Smad2／3(p-Smad2／3)的蛋白表达以及在细胞内的迁移。结果 (1)刺激组CTGF的mRNA表达与对照组比均显著增加，其中48h为峰值；对照组细胞内仅有少量CTGF的蛋白表达，在TGF-β1刺激后24h表达明显增加，48h达峰值。(2)刺激组FN和ColⅠ的mRNA表达与对照组比均呈时间依赖性显著增加，上清液FN和细胞内ColⅠ的蛋白表达与对照组比也呈时间依赖性显著增加。(3)对照组细胞内几乎不表达p-Smad2／3(阳性细胞率3％)，在刺激后15min表达增加(29％)，细胞着色主要分散在胞质中；1h增加最明显(84％)，细胞着色加深且集中在胞核及周边；2h明显回落(37％)，细胞着色转淡并又分散至胞质中。结论TGF-β1在致腹膜纤维化过程中诱导了HPMCs内CTGF的转录和蛋白表达，可能与TGF-β1激活了HPMcs内Smad信号通路有关。

转化生长因子β及Smad7在原发性肾小球疾病中的作用

以往研究显示转化生长因子β（TGF-β）是肾脏纤维化发生、发展中的重要因子。TGF-β结合并激活其受体后，其信号传递由受体后信号分子Smad蛋白来进行。Smad7是TGF-β功能特有的内源性抑制因子，可阻抗TGF-β的信号转导，对其表达的调控可能成为阻断肾小球TGF-β效应的具有生理学基础的诱人策略。据此，我们试图从体内体外两方面进行TGF-β1及其信号转导分子Smad7转导机制的研究，为开展对肾小球疾病动物模型的基因治疗提供理论和实验依据。     

Pro-inflammatory effect of transforming growth factor β1 in rat peritoneal mesothelial cells

Objective To investigate the pro-inflammatory effect of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) in rat peritoneal mesothelial cells (RPMCs) and its machanism. Methods TGF-β1-induced RPMCs model in vitro was established, and the expression of MCP-1 in the TGF-β1-induced RPMCs was observed. The intervention of Smad7 on the expression of MCP-1 and p38 signal proteins induced by TGF-β1 in RPMCs was explored as well as the intervention of p38 inhibitor SB203580 on the expression of MCP-1 induced by TGF-β1 in RPMCs. Results TGF-β1 could stimulate MCP-1 expression in RPMCs. Compared with control group, MCP-1 mRNA levels were significantly increased after 3 h treatment with TGF-β1 (P<0.05), peak MCP-1 induction occurred at 6 h (P<0.01), and the stimulatory effect of TGF-β1 persisted through 24 h (P<0.05). MCP-1 protein levels were significantly increased after 6 h treatment with TGF-β1(P<0.05), peak MCP-1 induction occurred at 48 h(P<0.01). Over-expressed Smad7 and p38 inhibitor could reduce the expression of MCP-1 induced by TGF-β1 (P<0.05). TGF-β1 could activate p38 signaling pathway, but over-expressed Smad7 could inhibit this role of TGF-β1. Compared with control group, the expression level of p-p38 was increased in TGF-β1-stimulated group. Compared with TGF-β1-stimulated group, the expression level of p-p38 was reduced in Smad7 gene transfer group.

目的 探讨阿魏酸哌嗪(PF)对肾大部切除大鼠肾皮质中转化生长因子β1(TGF-β1)及其下游分子Smad7表达的影响。方法 采用5/6肾大部切除模型,分别给予阿魏酸哌嗪(50mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1))和福辛普利(fosinopril,25mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1))灌胃。8周后观察大鼠24h尿蛋白、BUN、血肌酐以及肾脏病理改变。同时观测了肾皮质中TGF-β1和Smad7的表达。结果 术后大鼠出现明显的原蛋白[(205.6±16.8)mg/24h],且有明显的肾小球硬化,而PF和fosinopril(F)均能减少尿蛋白[PF(107.5±10.5)mg/24h,F(95.3±13.8)mg/24h,与假手术组比,P<0.01]和肾小球硬化指数。肾大部切除后肾皮质TGF-β1和Smad7的表达明显升高,用药组上述指标明显降低(F组和PF组比肾大部切除组,P<0.01)。结论 在5/6肾大部切除模型中,阿魏酸哌嗪对5/6肾大部切除大鼠肾脏有明显的保护作用,其机制至少部分与它能下调TGF-β1和Smad7有关。     

转化生长因子β激活酶1在结肠癌中的表达及临床意义

目的:探讨转化生长因子β激活酶1(TAK1)在结肠癌组中的表达与临床意义。方法:收集141例结肠癌患者手术标本,用免疫组织化学方法检测TAK1蛋白在结肠癌及癌旁正常组织中的表达,并分析其表达与患者临床病理因素及预后的关系,同时检测结肠癌组织中K-ras基因突变情况,分析TAK1表达与K-ras基因突变的关系。结果:TAK1在结肠癌组织中的阳性表达率明显高于癌旁正常组织(68.8%vs.16.3%,P0.05);TAK1的阳性表达与Dukes分期、肿瘤分化程度和淋巴结转移有关(P0.05);TAK1阳性表达患者的5年生存率明显低于低表达的患者(P0.05);TAK1阳性表达的结肠癌组织K-ras基因的突变率明显高于TAK1阴性表达的结肠癌组织(52.6%vs.13.6%,P0.05)。结论:TAK1可能参与了结肠癌的恶性进展,且TAK1的表达可能与K-ras基因突变密切相关。
