Background Following a fibrogenic stimulus, the hepatic stellate cell (HSC) transforms from a quiescent to an activated cell type associated
with increased proliferation, collagen and smooth muscle α-actin (αSMA) expression. Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog Deleted
on Chromosome Ten (PTEN), a tumor suppressor phosphatase, has been shown to play a role in several nonmalignant diseases.
Here, we investigated the role of PTEN during HSC activation.
Methods Rat HSCs 2 days after isolation were transduced with adenoviruses expressing either the wild-type (WT) or a dominant negative
form of PTEN, and culture-associated activation of HSCs, including morphological changes, expression of αSMA and α1(I) collagen,
and cell proliferation, were evaluated. Apoptosis of HSCs was detected by measuring activity of caspase 3/7. Phosphorylation
status of Akt, p70S6K, and Erk was detected by Western blotting.
Results Overexpression of WT-PTEN inhibited phenotypic changes were associated with HSC activation, including morphological changes,
expression of αSMA and α1(I) collagen, and HSC proliferation, including cyclin D1 expression. WT-PTEN expression also induced
apoptosis in HSCs with increased caspase 3/7 activity. Expression of WT-PTEN also caused decreased activation of Akt, p70S6K, and Erk signaling pathways.
Conclusions Taken together, these findings show that PTEN represents an important negative regulator for transactivation of HSCs. This
may have important implications for the design of therapeutic strategies to prevent the progression of liver fibrosis. 相似文献

Effect of protein kinase C activation and inhibition on rat hepatic stellate cell activation 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Protein kinase C (PKC) may play a role in the intracellular signaling pathways responsible for transforming hepatic stellate cells into myofibroblasts. This study examined the effects of inhibitors and activators of PKC on hepatic stellate cell activation. Stellate cells isolated from normal rats were incubated with either 10–5 M chelerythrine, 10–7 M bisindolylmaleimide I hydrochloride (BIM), or 10–6 M staurosporine (PKC inhibitors), or 10–7 M phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or 10–6 M thymeleatoxin (PKC activators). Chelerythrine suppressed -smooth muscle actin expression and proliferation by 49% and 33%, respectively. BIM inhibited -smooth muscle actin expression by 60%, but had no significant effect on proliferation. Staurosporine decreased proliferation by 86% and completely prevented -smooth muscle actin expression. PKC activators had divergent effects on proliferation and -smooth muscle actin expression. PMA and thymeleatoxin caused a 2.8- to 3.2-fold increase in proliferation, while suppressing -smooth muscle actin expression by 50–70%. The demonstration that hepatic stellate cell activation can be suppressed by PKC inhibitors suggests a role for PKC in the regulation of hepatic stellate cell activation. 相似文献

Effects of lipopolysaccharides stimulated Kupffer cells on activation of rat hepatic stellate cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
AIM:To study the effects of Kupffer cell-conditioned medium (KCCM) derived from lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment on proliferation of rat hepatic stellate cells (HSC).METHODS:HSC and Kupffer cells were isolated from the liver of Wistar rats by in situ perfusion with pronase and collagenase and density gradient centrifugation with Nycodenz and cultured. KCCM was prepared and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetric assay was used to detect HSC proliferation. The content of type Ⅳ collagen and laminin secreted by HSC in the HSC-conditioned medium was determined by radioimmunoassay.TGF-β1 production in the KCCM was detected by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).RESULTS:HSC and Kupffer cells isolated had high purity.One microgram per mililiter LPS-activated KCCM and unstimulated KCCM could significantly promote HSC proliferation [0.132±0.005 and 0.123±0.008 vscontrol group (0.100±0.003), P<0.01], and there was a difference between them (P<0.05). Ten microgram per mililiter LPS-activated KCCM (0.106±0.010) was unable to promote HSC proliferation (P>0.05). Adding anti-TGF-β1 antibodies could suppress the proliferation promoted by unstimulated KCCM and LPS(1μg/ml)-activated KCCM (0.109±0.009 vs 0.123±0.008,0.115±0.008 vs 0.132±0.005, P<0.01). LPS (1μg/ml or 10μg/ml) could not promote HSC proliferation immediately (0.096±0.003 and 0.101±0.004 vs 0.100±0.003, P>0.05). There was a parallel behavior between HSC proliferation and increased ECM level. One microgram per mililiter LPS-activated KCCM contained a larger amount of TGF-β1 than unstimulated KCCM.CONCLUSION:The technique for isolation of HSC and Kupffer cells described here is simple and reliable. KCCM stimulated by LPS may promote HSC proliferation and collagen accumulation, which are associated with hepatic fibrogenesis. 相似文献

The activity ratio of hepatic cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase has been found to change with increasing age in male, Long-Evans rats. In rats 35 days old (135 g), the activity ratio (cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity measured in the absence and presence of exogenous cyclic AMP) was 0.76, it increased to 0.92 in rats 75 days old (315 g) and to 0.98 in rats 305 days old (646 g). This change in the activity ratio seems to correlate with the ability of aging animals to respond to a stimulus, and may be a primary mechanism in the biochemistry of aging. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate whether Notch signaling is involved in liver fibrosis by regulating the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs).METHODS: Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of Notch3 in fibrotic liver tissues of patients with chronic active hepatitis. The expression of Notch3 in HSC-T6 cells treated or not with transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 was analyzed by immunofluorescence staining. The expression of Notch3 and myofibroblastic marker α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and collagen I in HSC-T6 cells transfected with pcDNA3.1-N3ICD or control vector were detected by Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining. Moreover, effects of Notch3 knockdown in HSC-T6 by Notch3 siRNA were investigated by Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining.RESULTS: The expression of Notch3 was significantly up-regulated in fibrotic liver tissues of patients with chronic active hepatitis, but not detected in normal liver tissues. Active Notch signaling was found in HSC-T6 cells. TGF-β1 treatment led to up-regulation of Notch3 expression in HSC-T6 cells, and over-expression of Notch3 increased the expression of α-SMA and collagen I in HSC-T6 without TGF-β1 treatment. Interestingly, transient knockdown of Notch3 decreased the expression of myofibroblastic marker and antagonized TGF-β1-induced expression of α-SMA and collagen I in HSC-T6.CONCLUSION: Notch3 may regulate the activation of HSCs, and the selective interruption of Notch3 may provide an anti-fibrotic strategy in hepatic fibrosis. 相似文献

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are known to play a role in hepatic regeneration. We investigated hepatocyte/HSC interaction and HSC activation at various times after 70% partial hepatectomy (PHx) in the rat. METHODS: The hepatic microcirculation was studied using intravital fluorescence microscopy (IVFM). Desmin and alpha-SMA within liver tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry. In isolated parenchymal liver cells (PLCs) and HSCs, double immunostaining was used to identify activated HSC. RESULTS: Using IVFM, hepatocyte-clusters were often seen in vivo at 3 days after PHx (PHx3). Distance between HSC fell from 61.7+/-2.1 microm in controls to 36.1+/-1.4 microm (P<0.001) while the HSC/hepatocyte ratio rose (0.71+/-0.01 to 1.08+/-0.03; P<0.001). In >80% of in vivo microscopic fields in the PHx3 group, clusters of HSCs were observed especially near hepatocyte-clusters. At PHx1 and PHx3, >20% of cells in the PLC-fraction were HSCs which adhered to hepatocytes. At PHx3, in addition to desmin staining, isolated HSCs were also positive for BrdU and alpha-SMA, and formed clusters. HSCs in the HSC-fraction were only positive for desmin which indicated that adherence to hepatocytes is required for HSC activation. CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that HSCs are activated by adhering to hepatocytes in the early phase of liver regeneration. 相似文献
