目的:探讨白细胞介素-34/集落刺激因子-1受体(IL-34/CSF-1R)在转化生长因子-β1(TGF-β1)诱导A549细胞发生上皮-间质转化( EMT)中的表达。方法体外培养A549细胞;CCK 8法检测不同浓度TGF-β1在不同时间点对A549细胞增殖的影响;选用5μg/L TGF-β1刺激A549细胞(0、12、24、48h),提取细胞蛋白和RNA, Western blotting法检测α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)、E-钙黏连蛋白(E-Cad)、基质金属蛋白酶-2(MMP-2)、基质金属蛋白酶-9( MMP-9)、基质金属蛋白酶抑制剂-1( TIMP-1)蛋白的变化;Real-time PCR 法检测 IL-34、CSF-1R、MMP-2、MMP-9基因表达的变化。结果 TGF-β1对A549细胞的增殖无明显影响( P>0.05)。 TGF-β1刺激A549细胞后,间质细胞标志性蛋白α-SMA表达升高,上皮细胞标志性蛋白E-Cad表达下降,纤维化相关的MMP-2蛋白表达升高,MMP-9蛋白表达先升高后下降,TIMP-1蛋白早期出现短暂性增高后,呈持续降低趋势( P<0.01)。 IL-34 mRNA表达逐渐升高,CSF-1R mRNA、MMP-2 mRNA、MMP-9 mRNA表达先升高后下降(P<0.01)。结论 TGF-β1诱导A549细胞的EMT过程中,存在IL-34/CSF-1R的动态表达。
Objective To investigate the expression of interleukin (IL)-34/colony stimulating factor(CSF)-1R in the process of transforming growth factor ( TGF)-β1 inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition ( EMT) of human alveolar epithelial cells A549 cells.Methods A549 cells were cultured in vitro.CCK 8 was used to test the influence of the proliferative rate of A549 cells which were stimulated by TGF-β1 at different concentrations and time points .A549 cells were stimulated by 5μg/L TGF-β1 at 0 hour, the 12th hour, the 24th hour, and the 48th hour.Western blotting was adopted to detect changes of the following proteins: α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA ) , E-cadherin ( E-Cad ) , matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1). Real-time PCR was adopted to detect changes of the following genes: IL-34 mRNA, CSF-1R mRNA, MMP-2 mRNA and MMP-9 mRNA.Results TGF-β1 had no significant influence in the proliferation of A 549 cells compared with the control group(P〉0.05).TGF-β1(5μg/L)stimulated A549 cells at different time point (0 hour, 12, 24, 48 hours), compared with the control group .The epithelial phenotype E-Cad protein was gradually down-regulated ( P 〈0.01 ) , while the mesenchymal phenotype α-SMA protein was gradually up-regulated ( P 〈0.01 ) and the protein of MMP-2 increased gradually (P〈0.01).The protein of MMP-9 increased firstly and then was reduced (P〈0.01),the peak was at the 24th hour.The protein of TIMP-1 was firstly transiently increased and then reduced (P〈0.01), the minimum was at the 48th hour.Compared with the control group , the gene of IL-34 mRNA increased gradually (P〈0.01), and the genes of CSF-1R mRNA, MMP-2 mRNA and MMP-9 mRNA increased firstly and then decreased ( P 〈0.01), which were peaked respectively at the 24th hour, the 24th hour, the 12th hour, respectively.Conclusion In the process of TGF-β1 inducing A549 c
