人组织激肽释放酶基因重组腺病毒转染对血管平滑肌细胞增殖和迁移的影响

目的:探讨重组腺病毒介导的人组织激肽释放酶(hKLK1)基因转移对血小板源性生长因子-BB(PDGF-BB)诱导下的自发性高血压大鼠(SHR)血管平滑肌细胞(VSMCSHR)增殖和迁移的影响。方法:自行构建双顺反子重组腺病毒载体,携带强绿色荧光蛋白(EGFP)标志基因和目的基因hKLK1;用细胞计数法和四甲基偶氮唑盐(MTT)比色法检测细胞增殖,流式细胞仪检测细胞生长周期;蛋白免疫印迹法(Western blotting)测定细胞周期素依赖性激酶抑制蛋白p27Kip1、p21Cip1的表达。采用改良Boyden微孔膜双槽法测定VSMCSHR迁移。结果:(1)hKLK1基因转移呈感染复数依赖性(20-100MOI)抑制PDGF-BB诱导的VSMCSHR生长,100MOI时抑制率为39.3%;呈时间依赖性抑制VSMCSHR生长,第5d时达高峰,抑制率为35.2%。(2)hKLK1基因转移可显著抑制PDGF-BB诱导的VSMCSHR增殖,峰值抑制率为30.2%(P0.01);细胞周期阻滞于G0/G1期的VSMCSHR明显增多,最大阻滞率为36.4%(P0.01),而缓激肽B2受体特异性阻断剂Hoe140逆转了hKLK的抑制作用。(3)hKLK1基因转移明显上调PDGF-BB诱导VSMCSHR的p27Kip1、p21Cip1表达,Hoe140明显降低p27Kip1、p21Cip1表达。(4)hKLK1基因转移可明显抑制PDGF-BB诱导的VSMCSHR细胞迁移,抑制率为34.6%,且Hoe140不影响该抑制作用。结论:hKLK1基因转移可抑制PDGF-BB诱导的VSMCSHR增殖,主要由缓激肽B2受体介导的,通过上调细胞周期素依赖性激酶抑制蛋白p27Kip1、p21Cip1表达的途径。而hKLK1基因转移抑制VSMCSHR迁移效应可能不通过B2受体。

Effects of human tissue kallikerin gene delivery on proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells

AIM: To investigate the effects of adenovirus-mediated human tissue kallikerin (Ad-hKLK1) gene delivery on the proliferation, migration of VSMCSHR induced by platelet derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB). METHODS: The VSMCSHR proliferation induced by PDGF-BB was accessed by cell counting and methyl thiazolyl tetrazoliuin (MTT). The migration was assessed by modified Boyden chamber assay. Western blotting was used to determine the expressions of the cycle-independent kinase inhibitors p27Kip1 and p21Cip1.RESULTS: Proliferation of VSMCSHR induced by PDGF-BB was inhibited after transfection of Ad-hKLK1 (20-100 MOI) in a MOI-dependent manner. The peak inhibition titer of Ad-hKLK1 fell on 100 MOI, with the peak inhibition rate of 39.3% (cell counting, n=3, P<0.01), 30.2% (MTT, n=3, P<0.01), peak stunning rate of cell-cycle in phase G0/G1 at 36.4%. The inhibitory effects of proliferation and cell-cycle caused by hKLK1 gene delivery were significantly abolished by Hoe140, a bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist. Migration of VSMCSHR induced by PDGF-BB was inhibited after hKLK1 gene delivery, with the peak inhibitory rate of 34.6% (n=6, P<0.01). However the inhibitory effects of migration were not blocked by Hoe140. The protein expression of p27Kip1 and p21Cip1 increased significantly after the hKLK1 gene delivery, whereas Hoe140 nearly completely blocked these effects (n=3, P<0.01, respectively).CONCLUSION: The hKLK1 gene delivery may inhibit the proliferation and migration of VSMCSHR induced by PDGF-BB. Bradykinin B2 receptor probably mediates the up-regulating expression of p27Kip1 and p21Cip1 that contributes to the inhibitory effects of proliferation of hKLK1. However, the inhibitory effects of migration by hKLK1 gene delivery may not be mediated by bradykinin B2 receptor.
