转化生长因子β信号传导阻断对鼠肝星状细胞培养激活的影响

目的 研究转化生长因子β(TGF-β)信号传导通路的阻断,对鼠肝星状细胞(HSC)培养激活的影响。 方法 利用腺病毒AdT β-ExR的表达产物阻断HSCs中TGF-β信号传导。用酶联免疫吸附试验,Western blot及免疫组织化学等方法检测HSCs中Ⅰ型胶原蛋白、α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)的表达及细胞增殖。 结果 感染AdT β—ExR与感染AdLacZ的HSCs相比,Ⅰ型胶原蛋白的表达量为对照组的42.99％(q=9.100,,P<0.001),α-SMA的表达明显被抑制,而细胞增殖指标5-溴脱氧尿苷的参入量,后者为前者的49.24％(q=7.835,.P<0.001)。 结论 阻断TGF-β信号传导能显著地抑制HSCs的培养激活,但促进HSCs的分裂。通过腺病毒AdT β-ExR的表达产物阻断TGF-β信号传导作为抑制肝纤维化的方法,还需深入一步的研究。

Effect of blocking transforming growth factor β signalling on culture-activated rat hepatic stellate cells

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of blocking transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) signalling on culture-activated rat hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). METHODS: After cultured in plastic dish for two days, HSCs were infected with adenovirus vector AdT beta-ExR or AdLacZ (control) at 10 multiplicity of infection (MOI) and incubated for four days. The expression of type I collagen, alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) and the proliferation of HSCs were analyzed by ELISA, western blot, immunocytochemistry and BrdU uptake respectively. RESULTS: The expression level of type I collagen in HSCs infected with AdT beta-ExR was 42.99% of that in HSCs infected with AdLacZ (q = 9.100, P < 0.001). The expression of alpha-SMA in HSCs infected with AdTbeta-ExR was also inhibited evidently. But the BrdU uptake in HSCs infected with AdLacZ was 49.24% of that in HSCs infected with AdTbeta-ExR (q = 7.835, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The blockade of TGF-beta signalling in cultured rat HSCs can inhibit their activation significantly, but promote their proliferation.
