Effect of pirfenidone on rat hepatic stellate cell proliferation and collagen production

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Pirfenidone has been recently shown to reduce dimethynitrosamine-induced liver fibrosis in the rat, but no information are available on the effect of this drug on cultured hepatic stellate cells (HSC). METHODS: HSC proliferation was evaluated by measuring bromodeoxyuridine incorporation; PDGF-receptor autophosphorylation, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) and pp70(S6K) activation were evaluated by western blot; protein kinase C activation was evaluated by western blot and by ELISA; type I collagen accumulation and alpha1(I) procollagen mRNA expression were evaluated by ELISA and northern blot, respectively. RESULTS: Pirfenidone significantly inhibited PDGF-induced HSC proliferation, starting at a concentration of 1 microM, with a maximal effect at 1000 microM, without affecting HSC viability and without inducing apoptosis. The inhibition of PDGF-induced HSC proliferation was associated neither with variations in PDGF-receptor autophosphorylation, or with ERK1/2 and pp70(S6K) activation. On the other hand, pirfenidone was able to inhibit PDGF-induced activation of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger, which is involved in PDGF-induced HSC proliferation in HSC, with a maximal effect at 1000 microM and inhibited PDGF-induced protein kinase C activation. Pirfenidone 100 and 1000 microM inhibited type I collagen accumulation in the culture medium induced by transforming growth factor(beta1) by 54% and 92%, respectively, as well as TGF(beta1)-induced alpha1(I) procollagen mRNA expression. RESULTS: Pirfenidone could be a new candidate for antifibrotic therapy in chronic liver diseases.     

Differential modulation of rat hepatic stellate phenotype by natural and synthetic retinoids

Activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSC) is a central event in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis during chronic liver injury. We examined the expression of retinoic acid (RAR) and retinoid X receptors (RXR) during HSC activation and evaluated the influence of natural and synthetic retinoic acids (RA) on the phenotype of culture-activated HSC. The expression of the major RAR/RXR subtypes and isoforms was analyzed by Northern hybridization. Presence of functional receptor proteins was established by gel shift analysis. Retinoic acids, RAR, and RXR selective agonists and an RAR antagonist were used to evaluate the effects of retinoid signalling on matrix synthesis by Northern blotting and immunoprecipitation, and on cell proliferation by BrdU incorporation. The 9-cisRA and synthetic RXR agonists reduced HSC proliferation and synthesis of collagen I and fibronectin. All-trans RA and RAR agonists both reduced the synthesis of collagen I, collagen III, and fibronectin, but showed a different effect on cell proliferation. Synthetic RAR agonists did not affect HSC proliferation, indicating that ATRA inhibits cell growth independent of its interaction with RARs. In contrast, RAR specific antagonists enhance HSC proliferation and demonstrate that RARs control proliferation in a negative way. In conclusion, natural RAs and synthetic RAR or RXR specific ligands exert differential effects on activated HSC. Our observations may explain prior divergent results obtained following retinoid administration to cultured stellate cells or to animals subjected to fibrogenic stimuli.     

Effects of the tyrosine protein kinase inhibitor genistein on the proliferation,activation of cultured rat hepatic stellate cells

AIM：Hepatic stellate cell(HSC)plays a pivotal role in liver fibrosis and is considered as the therapeutic target for the treatment of hepatic fibrosis,Tyrosine protein kinase plays an important role in the proliferation,activation of HSC.The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of the tyosine protein kinase inhibitor genistein on the proliferation and activation of cultured rat HSC.METHODS:Rat HSC were isolated from Wistar rats by in situ perfusion of collagenase and pronase and single-step density Nycodenz gradient,Culture-activated HSC were serum-starved and incubated with10^-9to10^-5mol/L concentration of genistein for 24,48or 72h,In PDGF-induced HSC proliferation,HSC were stimulated with10μg&#183;L^-1PDGF-BBfo15min,and thentreated with genistein for the same time.Cell proliferation was measured by MПassay and based on flow cytometric analysis of cell cycle.The a-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA）expression in HSC was studied with confocallaser microscopy and flow cytometry.c-fos,c-jun and cyclinD1expression in HSCwas also detected by flow cytometry.RESULTS:Genistein inhibited basal and PDGF-induced proliferation of HSCat the concentration of 10^-8to10^-5mol/L,and treatment with10^-7mol/L concentration of genistein for 48h inhibited the HSCproliferation significantly(the inhibition rate was 70.3%,P&lt;0.05).Immunofluorescence detected by confocal laser microscopy and flow cytometry showed that treatment with10^-7mol/L genistein for48h suppressed the expression of α-SMA significantly in HSC(the specific fluorescence intensity were60.2&#177;21.5vs35.3&#177;11.6and12.8&#177;10.4vs9.54&#177;6.39,respectively,bothP&lt;0.05).The intensity of c-fos,c-jun and cyclinD1 expression of HSCs treated with 10^-7mol/L genistein for 48h was also significantly decreased compared with the controls.CONCLUSION;Genistein influences proliferation of HSC,suppresses the expression of α-SMA in HSC and tinhibits the intensity of c-fos,c-jun and cyclinD1 expression of HCSs,Genistein has therapeutic potential against liver fibrosis.     

Role of hepatic stellate cell/hepatocyte interaction and activation of hepatic stellate cells in the early phase of liver regeneration in the rat

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.     

Aldehydic products of lipid peroxidation do not directly activate rat hepatic stellate cells

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSC) results in the transdifferentiation of the resting (quiescent) phenotype to one characterized by loss of vitamin A droplets, increased alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA) expression and increased collagen production. Aldehydic products of lipid peroxidation have been shown to increase collagen production by cultured fibroblasts and by passaged HSC, but it is unclear whether these products of lipid peroxidation can initiate the activation of HSC. In the present study the effects were examined of two aldehydic products of lipid peroxidation, malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), on activation of rat HSC in early culture as measured by SMA and desmin expression, and collagen production. METHODS: The HSC from normal rat liver were plated in plastic wells and exposed to either MDA (5-200 micromol/L), HNE (0.1-20 micromol/L) or vehicle for either 3 or 7 days. The cells were then harvested; SMA and desmin levels were measured by western blotting. Collagen production was measured by radiolabeled proline incorporation after 6 h of aldehyde exposure. RESULTS: Malondialdehyde (100 and 200 micromol/L) decreased SMA expression during the 3-day and 7-day exposures compared with controls. 4-Hydroxynonenal (20 micromol/L) decreased SMA expression significantly while no effects were observed with lower concentrations compared with controls during the 3-day exposure. Seven-day exposure to HNE (0.1-20 micromol/L) failed to alter SMA expression compared with controls. Exposure to MDA or HNE did not influence desmin expression or collagen production. CONCLUSIONS: Aldehydic products of lipid peroxidation do not directly activate HSC in early culture and alternative pathways may be responsible for HSC activation during oxidative stress.
