骨髓间充质干细胞抑制转化生长因子-β1诱导的肺泡Ⅱ型上皮细胞间质化
Inhibition of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on epithelial mesenchymal transformation induced by transforming growth factor-β1
目的 探讨骨髓间充质干细胞(BMSCs)是否通过抑制肺泡Ⅱ型上皮细胞向肌成纤维细胞的转化,进而发挥其抗纤维化的作用及其机制。 方法 培养大鼠肺泡Ⅱ型上皮细胞系RLE-6TN细胞,用5μg/L的TGF-β1诱导分化,并分为对照组、转化生长因子(TGF)-β1刺激组、BMSCs干预组。采用倒置相差显微镜观察RLE-6TN细胞的形态变化;免疫荧光法检测E-钙黏蛋白(E-cad)、α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)的定位;Western blotting法检测E-cad、α-SMA、p-Smad3、Snail1蛋白的表达。 结果 在TGF-β1的诱导下,肺泡Ⅱ型上皮细胞逐渐向肌成纤维细胞发生形态改变,由上皮细胞的鹅卵石状变成间充质细胞的梭形或纺锤形,且伴随着上皮标志物E-cad表达降低,而间充质细胞标志物α-SMA表达上调;给予BMSCs干预后,间充质化有所抑制,表现于细胞形态趋于上皮型,且上皮标志物E-cad表达上调,间质标志物α-SMA表达减少。与对照组相比,TGF-β1刺激组p-Smad3、 Snail1蛋白表达上调。给予BMSCs干预后p-Smad3、Snail1蛋白表达显著降低。 结论 BMSCs可能通过阻断TGF-β1/Smad3信号转导通路,抑制肺泡Ⅱ型上皮细胞向肌成纤维细胞的转化,从而抑制上皮细胞-间充质转化的进程。
Objective To explore whether bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells could inhibit epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT) of rat type Ⅱalveolar epithelial cells through inhibiting Smad3 phosphorylation, and play a role on anti pulmonary fibrosis. Methods Rat type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cell line RLE-6TN cells were cultivated, induced by 5μg/L transforming growth factor(TGF)-β1 in vitro, and divided into normal control group. TGF-β1 induced group and BMSCs intervention group. Morphological changes of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in RLE-6TN cells were observed under an inverted phase contrast microscope. Immunofluorescence methods were used to determine the location of E-cadherin (E-cad) and α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA). The expressions of E-cad, α-SMA, p-Smad3 and Snail1 were detected by Western blotting in each group. Results The process of EMT induced by TGF-β1 was accompanied by morphological alteration. RLE-6TN cells had an epithelial cobblestone-like morphology, a round or polygonal shape and exhibited very close cell-cell proximity, while after exposure to TGF-β1, the cells displayed spindle-shaped elongated fibroblast-like cells morphology. Concomitant with a down-regulation of the epithelial markers E-cad, the expression of interstitial cells markers α-SMA up-regulated. Similar morphological changes were noticeably suppressed in the BMSCs intervention group, and the BMSCs intervention group showed a reduction in TGF-β1-induced up-regulation of α-SMA, while a down-regulation of E-cad was observed. Compared with control group, the expression levels of p-Smad3 and Snail1 increased significantly after the stimulation of TGF-β1. After BMSCs intervention,the expressions of p-Smad3 and Snail1 significantly decrease compared to the TGF-β1 group. Conclusion BMSCs may block TGF-β1/Smad3 signal transduction pathway, and then inhibit epithelial mesenchymal transition of type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells.
