增生性瘢痕退行性变过程中的细胞凋亡和相关基因表达   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
增生性瘢痕发生的重要机制之一是成纤维细胞不能进入正常的程序性死亡,导致其异常增殖使细胞外基质过度沉积。半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶(caspases)的活化形式过度表达可诱导细胞凋亡。本实验对增生性瘢痕退行性变的不同时期采用原位缺口末端标记(TUNEL)法作细胞凋亡检测,探讨细胞凋亡及caspase-3在该过程中的作用机制。  相似文献

BACKGROUND: The formation of methylglyoxal (MG), a highly reactive dicarbonyl compound, is accelerated through several pathways, including the glycation reaction under diabetic conditions, presumably contributing to tissue injury in diabetes. On the other hand, apoptotic cell death of glomerular cells has been suggested to play a role in the development of glomerulosclerosis in various types of glomerular injuries. We therefore examined whether MG was capable of inducing apoptosis in rat mesangial cells to address the possible mechanism by which hyperglycemia-related products accelerated pathologic changes in diabetic glomerulosclerosis. METHODS: Rat mesangial cells were incubated with 0 to 400 micromol/L MG, followed by the detection of apoptosis by both TUNEL method and electrophoretic analysis for DNA fragmentation. In addition, we investigated intracellular mechanisms mediating MG-induced apoptosis, focusing especially on the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. RESULTS: MG induced apoptosis in rat mesangial cells in a dose-dependent manner and was accompanied by the activation of p38alpha isoform. Aminoguanidine and N-acetyl-l-cysteine inhibited the MG-induced p38 MAPK activation, as well as apoptosis in rat mesangial cells, suggesting the involvement of oxidative stress in these phenomena. SB203580, a specific inhibitor of p38 MAPK also suppressed the MG-induced apoptosis in rat mesangial cells. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest a potential role for MG in glomerular injury through p38 MAPK activation under diabetic conditions and may serve as a novel insight into the therapeutic strategies for diabetic nephropathy.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Proliferation of intrinsic glomerular cells is a common response to renal injury. Acutely, proliferation may be beneficial, but sustained glomerular hypercellularity after injury is associated with progressive renal failure. To identify endogenous factors that may be responsible for regulating glomerular cell number, the effects of J-series cyclopentenone prostaglandins (PGs) on human glomerular mesangial cell proliferation and death were examined. METHODS: Human mesangial cells were grown in the presence or absence of PGJ2 or its metabolite 15-Deoxy-Delta12,14-PGJ2 (15dPGJ2). The number of viable cells was measured by the reduction of the tetrazolium MTS to a colored formazan product. Apoptosis was assessed by caspase-3 activation and DNA fragmentation. RESULTS: PGJ2 at concentrations up to 10 micromol/L caused mesangial proliferation. 15dPGJ2 also caused mesangial proliferation at low concentrations (< or =2.5 micromol/L), but induced mesangial cell death at higher concentrations (>5 micromol/L). Cell death occurred in part through apoptosis, measured as an increase in caspase-3 activity and DNA fragmentation in 15dPGJ2-treated cells. Cell death was associated with a decline in baseline phosphorylation of the survival factor Akt and increased Akt degradation, whereas 15dPGJ2-induced mesangial proliferation was blocked by inhibition of the PI 3-kinase/Akt pathway. 15dPGJ2 is a potent PPARgamma agonist. Like 15dPGJ2, treatment of mesangial cells with thiazolidinedione-type PPARgamma ligands (10 to 20 micromol/L) caused significant cell death, but at lower concentrations also caused a small degree of proliferation. CONCLUSIONS: J-series prostaglandins thus may be involved in the initiation of glomerular hypercellularity through Akt-dependent proliferation, and restoration of normal glomerular architecture through PPARgamma-mediated apoptosis. Manipulation of these prostaglandins may be relevant to the treatment of progressive glomerular disease.  相似文献

Objective To investigate the effects of triptolide on proliferation, apoptosis and the changes of Ski, Smad3, Smad7 and collagen type Ι (ColΙ) in cultured rat mesangial cells induced by transforming growth factor (TGF)?β1. Methods Cultured HBZY?1 rat mesangial cells were divided into 5 groups: (1)normal control group; (2)TGF?β1 group (10 μg/L); (3)-(5)triptolide (0.4, 2, 10 μg/L)+TGF?β1 (10 μg/L) groups. The cell proliferation was detected by MTT. Apoptosis of mesangial cells was detected by TUNEL assay. The expressions of Ski, Smad3, Smad7 mRNA were examined by real?time quantitative PCR. The expressions of Ski, Smad3, Smad7 and ColΙ protein were detected by Western blotting. The localizations of Ski and Smad3 protein were detected by laser confocal fluorescence microscope. Results Compared with the normal control, TGF?β1 (10 μg/L) significantly stimulated mesangial cells proliferation, while decreased apoptosis. The mRNA and protein expressions of Ski, Smad7, Smad3 and ColΙ protein expression in TGF?β1 group were increased (P>0.05). In comparison with TGF?β1 group, triptolide could significantly inhibit TGF?β1?induced mesangial cells proliferation in dose?dependent manner, and promote the apoptosis of mesangial cells. In TGF?β1 group, mRNA and protein expresscons of Ski and Smad7 were increased (P<0.05), Smad3 mRNA and protein were decreased (P>0.05), and ColΙ protein was decreased (P<0.01). In comparison with TGF?β1 group, fluorescence intensity of Ski, Smad3 proteins was significantly increased in cytoplasm, while decreased in nucleus. Conclusions Triptolide can inhibit TGF?β1?induced mesangial cells proliferation through regulating the expressions of Ski, Smad7 mRNA and protein, inhibiting Ski. Smad7 translocation to the nucleus, and down?regulating Smad3 mRNA and protein expression. Triptolide can promote apoptosis of mesangial cells.  相似文献

Background: Decorin (DCN) is a small leucine-rich proteoglycan that plays an important role in the regulation of intercellular contact, cell migration and proliferation. DCN suppresses cell growth and induces apoptosis in various tumour cells. The aim of this study was to investigate whether overexpression of DCN could induce apoptosis and cell growth arrest in mesangial cells (MsCs) in vitro. Methods: PcDNA3.1A-DCN plasmid was transfected into cultured rat MsCs, and positive clones stably expressing DCN (MsC/DCN) were selected. SiRNA was used for blocking DCN expression in MsC/DCN. Apoptosis and cell growth of MsCs were assayed by flow cytometry. Hoechst staining was used for observing apoptotic cells. Expressions of active Caspase-3, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), P21 and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β1) were analyzed using Western blot. Results: Overexpression of DCN in MsCs induced apoptosis and arrested cells in the G0/G1 phase. The protein level of active Caspase-3 was significantly elevated in MsC/DCN (P < 0.01). DCN transfection induced downregulation of EGFR and up-expression of P21. In addition, the expression of TGF-β1 was significantly inhibited. DCN-siRNA transfection remarkably blocked the expression of DCN and reversed the downregulatory effects of DCN on MsC's proliferation. Conclusion: Overexpression of DCN could inhibit MsCs proliferation by inducing apoptosis and cell growth arrest in vitro and it also downregulates expression of TGF-β1. These results suggest novel strategies for regulating the proliferation of MsC in glomerular diseases.  相似文献
