AIM: Estradiol treatment regulates estrogen receptor (ER) level in normal rat liver. However, little information is available concerning the role of estrogen in regulating liver ER in hepatic fibrosis in rats. The present study was conducted to determine whether estradiol treatment in CCl4-induced liver fibrosis of female and ovariectomized rats altered liver Erα and its mRNA expression, and to investigate the possible mechanisms.METHODS: Seventy female rats were divided into seven groups with ten rats in each. The ovariectomy groups were initiated with ovariectomies and the sham operation groups were initiated with just sham operations. The CCl4 toxic fibrosis groups Received 400 mL/L CCl4 subcutaneously at a dose of 2 mL/kg twice weekly. Estrogen groups were treated subcutaneously with estradiol 1 mg/kg, the normal control group and an ovariectomy group Received injection of peanut oil vehicle twice weekly. At the end of 8 weeks, all the rats were killed to detect their serum and hepatic indicators,their hepatic collagen content, and liver ER and ER mRNA expression.RESULTS: Estradiol treatment in both ovariectomy and sham ovariectomy groups reduced liver levels of ALT (from 658±220 nkat/L to 311±146 nkat/L and 540±252 nkat/L to 314±163 nkat/L, P<0.05) and AST (from 697±240 nkat/L to 321±121 nkat/L and 631±268 nkat/L to 302±153 nkat/L,P<0.05), increased serum nitric oxide (NO) level (from 53.7±17.1 μmol/L to 93.3±24.2 μmol/L and 55.3±23.1 μmol/L to 87.5±23.6 μmol/L, P<0.05) and hepatic nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity (from 1.73±0.71 KU/g to 2.49±1.20 KU/g and1.65±0.46 KU/g to 2.68±1.17 KU/g, P<0.05), diminished the accumulation of hepatic collagen, decreased centrolobular necrotic areas as well as the inflammatory reaction in rats subjected to CCl4. The positive signal of ER and ER mRNA distributed in parenchymal and non-parenchymal hepatic cells, especially near the hepatic centrolobular and periportal areas. Ovariectomy decreased ER level (from 10.2±3.2 to4.3±1.3) and ER mRNA expression (from 12.8±2.1 to 10.9±1.3)significantly (P<0.05). Hepatic ER and ER mRNA concentrations were elevated after treatment with estradiol in both ovariectomy (15.8±2.4, 20.8±3.1) and sham ovariectomy(18.7±3.8, 23.1±3.7) fibrotic groups (P< 0.05).CONCLUSION: The increase in hepatic ER and mRNA expression may be part of the molecular mechanisms underlying the suppressive effect of estradiol on liver fibrosis induced by CCl4 administration. 相似文献

Metallo-estrogens are a new class of potent environmental estrogens. This study investigates whether tobacco smoke condensate (TSC), which contains metals and metalloids, elicits estrogen-like effects at environmentally relevant doses. Treatment of human breast cancer cells, MCF-7, with 40 microg/ml TSC resulted in a 2.5-fold stimulation of cell growth. TSC decreased the concentration of estrogen receptor (ER)-alpha protein and mRNA (63 and 62%, respectively), and increased the expression of the estrogen-regulated genes, progesterone receptor and pS2 (5- and 2-fold, respectively). In addition, TSC activated ER-alpha in COS-1 or CHO cells transiently transfected with wild-type ER-alpha and an ERE-CAT or an ERE-luciferase reporter gene (11- and 6-fold, respectively). TSC also activated a chimeric receptor (GAL-ER) containing the hormone binding domain of ER-alpha (3.5-fold). It blocked the binding of estradiol to the receptor without altering the affinity of estradiol (K(d) = 2.2-6.8 x 10(-10) m). Transfection assays with ER-alpha mutants identified C381, C447, H524, N532, E523, and D538 in the hormone binding domain as important for activation by TSC. In ovariectomized rats, low doses of TSC [10 or 20 mg/kg body weight (bw)] increased uterine wet weight (1.7- and 2.1-fold), and induced the expression of progesterone receptor and complement C3 in the uterus (2- and 26-fold) and mammary gland (4.4- and 15-fold). Both the in vitro and in vivo TSC effects were blocked by the antiestrogen ICI 182,780, suggesting the involvement of ER. Collectively, these results provide strong evidence that low doses of TSC, acting through the hormone binding domain, exert estrogen-like effects in cell culture and animals. 相似文献

Suppressive effects of estradiol on dimethylnitrosamine-induced fibrosis of the liver in rats 总被引:31,自引:0,他引:31
As a model for the analysis of the fibrosuppressive role of estradiol, hepatic fibrosis was induced in male and female rats by the administration of a single dose of dimethylnitrosamine (DMN). The fibrotic response of the male liver after DMN treatment was significantly stronger than that of the female liver. In the male DMN model, estradiol reduced hepatic mRNA for type I and III procollagens and the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), as well as deposition of type I and III collagen protein total hepatic collagen and malondialdehyde (MDA), a product of lipid peroxidation. Concomitant administration of a neutralizing antibody against rat estradiol enhanced fibrogenesis, as judged by the same parameters. Ovariectomy in the female model had a fibrogenic effect, inducing the hepatic expression of both types of procollagen and TIMP-1; in addition, the number of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA)-positive cells in the liver increased; estradiol replacement was fibrosuppressive in the castrated-female model. In rat hepatic stellate cells incubated in primary culture with estradiol, cell number, type I collagen production, and alpha-SMA expression were all reduced. These findings suggest that estradiol suppressed the induction of hepatic fibrosis, and may in part underlie the more rapid progression in males of hepatic fibrosis and its complications. 相似文献

目的研究大麻素受体1(CB1)mRNA在肝纤维化形成过程中表达的变化,从基因转录水平探讨其与细胞外信号调节激酶(ERK)的关系。方法采用10%四氯化碳腹腔注射制备肝纤维化模型,分别于造模第2、4、6、8周留取小鼠的肝组织及血清。通过病理对肝组织进行形态学观察,荧光定量RT-PCR检测CB1 mRNA和ERK mRNA水平,生化法检测血清中ALT和AST的含量,放射免疫法检测血清中透明质酸(HA)的含量。结果与正常对照组相比,各模型组小鼠肝组织中CB1 mRNA和ERK mRNA含量显著升高(P<0.05),而且随造模时间的延长,CB1 mRNA和ERK mRNA含量亦逐渐增高,各组之间差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。各模型组小鼠血清中ALT、AST及HA的水平随造模时间延长而不断升高,各组间差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。CB1 mRNA的含量不但与血清中ALT、AST、HA的含量呈显著正相关(r=0.741、0.763、0.769,P均<0.01),而且与肝组织中ERK mRNA含量也呈显著正相关(r=0.789,P均<0.01)。结论CB1可能通过激活ERK,以ERK通路诱导肝星状细胞(HSC)增殖,促进肝纤维化的形成。 相似文献
