目的研究sFRP5抑制Wnt3a对黑素细胞黑素形成的作用。方法以永生化的黑素细胞为模型,利用腺病毒表达载体,设置Control组、Wnt3a处理组、Wnt3a+sFRP5处理组进行以下实验:L—DOPA测定酪氨酸酶(tyrosinase,TYR)活性;Masson—Fontanas银染色法观察黑素形成情况;RT-PCR检测酪氨酸酶相关蛋白1(tyrosinase-relatedprotein1,TRP-1)、TYR基因的表达;Westernblot检测TRP-1、TYR蛋白的表达水平。结果L—DOPA测定酪氨酸酶活性结果显示Wnt3a+sFRP5处理组TYR活性低于Wnt3a处理组,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05);Masson—Fontanas银染色法显示Wnt3a+sFRP5处理组形成的黑素明显低于Wnt3a处理组;RT—PCR检测结果显示Wnt3a+sFRP5处理组能下调TRP-1、TYR基因的表达(P〈0.05);Westernblot检测结果显示Wnt3a+sFRP5处理组能下调TRP-1、TYR蛋白的表达水平(P〈0.05)。结论sFRP5能抑制Wnt3a对黑素细胞黑素生成的作用。
Objective To explore the effects of secreted Frizzled-related protein 5 (sFRPS) inhibiting Wnt3a on the melanin formation of melanocytes. Methods With immortalized melanocytes as model and adenoviral vectors, we set up 3 experimental groups, melanoeytes transfected with Ad-GFP (Ad-GFP group) , melanocytes transfected with Ad-Wnt3a (Ad-Wnt3a group) and melanocytes transfected with Ad-Wnt3a + Ad- sFRP5 (Ad-Wnt3a + Ad-sFRP5 group) to do the following experiments, including L-dopa tyrosinase activity assay, Masson-Fontanas silver staining for melanin formation detection, RT-PCR for testing expression of tyrosinase-related protein 1 ( TRP-1 ) and tyrosinase ( TYR), and Western blotting for detecting the protein levels of TRP-1 and TYR in iMC23 cells. Results L-Dopa tyrosinase activity assay showed an obvious decrease in tyrosinase activity in the Ad-Wnt3a + Ad-sFRP5 group as compared to Ad-Wnt3a group (P 〈 0. 05 ). Masson-Fontanas silver staining found that melanin in the Ad-Wnt3a + Ad-sFRP5 group was significantly lower than that in the Ad-Wnt3a group. RT-PCR results showed that the mRNA expression levels of TRP-1 and TYR were down-regulated in the Ad-Wnt3a + Ad-sFRP5 group (P 〈 0.05 ). Moreover, the protein levels of TRP-1 and TYR showed similar changes as proven by Western blotting (P 〈 0.05). Conclusion SFRP5 can suppress the melanin formation of melanocytes through Wnt3a inhibition.
