目的探讨前列腺素E2(PGE2)受体1亚型(EP1)拮抗剂(SC-19220)对转化生长因子(TGF)B1诱导的小鼠肾小球系膜细胞增殖、前列腺素合酶表达、细胞外调节蛋白激酶(ERK)信号通路的影响及可能机制。方法小鼠肾小球系膜细胞分组:对照组;TGF-β1(10μg/L)组;药物干预组:不同浓度(0.1、0.5、1.0μmol/L)SC-19220+TGF-β1(10μg/L)组。CCK-8法检测细胞增殖;ELISA法检测细胞上清中PGE2的表达;实时荧光定量PCR法检测细胞结缔组织生长因子(CTGF)、层粘连蛋白(LN)、环氧化酶2(COX2)、膜结合型前列腺素E2合酶1(mPGESl)mRNA的表达。Western印迹法检测CTGF、LN、COX2、mPGESl及ERKl/2活性变化。结果与对照组比,TGF.131组系膜细胞增殖增加(P<0.05),PGE:表达增加(P<0.05),CTGF、LN、COX2、mPGESlmRNA及蛋白表达增加(P<0.05),ERKl/2活性增加(P<0.05)。SC-19220干预后呈剂量依赖性抑制系膜细胞增殖(P<O.05),下调PGE2的表达(P<0.05),抑制CTGF、LN、COX2、mPGESlmRNA及蛋白表达(P<0.05),抑制ERKl/2活性(P<0.05)。结论SC-19220可能通过抑制ERKl/2活性,反馈抑制COX2、mPGESl及PGE2的表达,从而下调CTGF、LN的表达,减轻TGF-131诱导的系膜细胞损伤。
Objective To explore the effects and mechanisms of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor 1 antagonist (SC-19220) on proliferation, prostaglandin synthase and extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK) signal pathway induced by transforming growth factor 131(TGF-βl) in glomerular mesangial cells. Methods Mouse glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) were divided into 5 groups: control group, TGF-[31 (10μg/L) group, TGF-131 (10μg/L) plus SC-19220 group (0.1, 0.5, 1.0μmol/L). The proliferation of GMCs was measured by CCK-8. The PGE2 in supernatant was measured by ELISA. The expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), laminin (LN), cyclooxygenase 2(COX2), membrane-bound prostaglandin E2 synthase 1 (mPGES1) protein and mRNA was examined by Western blotting and real-time quantitative PCR, ERK1/2 or phospho-ERK1/2 was measured by Western blotting as well. Results TGF-β1 induced the proliferation of GMCs and increased the secretion ofPGE2. Besides, TGF-131 significantly up-regulated the expression of CTGF, LN, COX2 and mPGES1 mRNA and protein (P〈 0.05), and increased the expression of phospho-ERK1/2 protein (P 〈 0.05). However, SC- 19220 significantly attenuated the changes of above- mentioned parameters and their activities (P〈 0.05). All the effects of SC- 19220 were in dose-dependent manner. Conclusions SC- 19220 may reduce TGF-131- induced cell damage by suppressing the activity of ERK1/2, and feedback inhibition of COX2, mPGES1 and PGE2, thus decreases the expression of LN and CTGF.
