目的:观察大鼠肝脏前体细胞系(WB-F344)对肝星状细胞系(HSC-T6)活化及细胞外基质的影响。方法将慢病毒-GFP 空白载体转染的 HSC-T6与 WB-F344按1∶1与1∶2比例直接共培养3 d,使用流式细胞仪对其进行分选,慢病毒-GFP 空白载体转染的 HSC-T6单独培养作为对照,观察 HSC-T6活化指标及细胞外基质相关指标表达的变化。结果经流式细胞仪检验慢病毒-GFP 空白载体转染 HSC-T6的效率可达近90%;与 WB-F344直接共培养3 d 后,HSC-T6的细胞形态与对照组相比无差别;同时利用 GFP 对各组 HSC-T6细胞分选后,经流式细胞仪检验纯度可达94%;对分选后的细胞进行分析发现,直接共培养组 HSC-T6细胞活化标记物α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)在基因水平(1∶1与1∶2组分别是对照组的0.66与0.61倍,P<0.05)和蛋白水平(1∶1与1∶2组分别是对照组的0.61倍与0.25倍,P<0.05)的表达均下降;HSC-T6细胞的细胞外基质标记物 I 型胶原(Col-I)、基质金属蛋白酶-13(MMP-13)、金属蛋白酶组织抑制剂-1(TIMP-1)的表达与对照组比较差异无统计学意义。结论WB-F344细胞可以抑制 HSC-T6细胞的活化,但在一定时间内对其细胞外基质的表达没有影响。
Objective To explore the effects of HPCs (WB-F344)on activation and extracellular matrix (ECM)of HSCs (HSC-T6).Methods Lentivirus-GFP transfected HSC-T6 was directly cocultured with WB-F344 at 1 ∶1 and 1 ∶2 ratios for 3 days.Mixed cells were sorted by flow cytometry based on the presence or absence of GFP.Transfected HSC-T6 cultured alone was used as control.Expression of activation marker α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA)and ECM markers collage I (Col-I),matrix metal proteinase-13 (MMP-13),tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP)-1 in HSC-T6 were observed by Western blot and real-time PCR.Results After 3 days of coculture with WB-F344,morphological changes of HSC-T6 remained unchanged in direct coculture groups.Transfection efficiency of Lentivirus-GFP was nearly 90% and the purity of sorted HSC-T6 was 94%.WB-F344 directly cocultured with HSC-T6 had reduced α-SMA expression of HSC-T6 in mRNA and protein level.However,there was no difference in ECM expression between control group and direct cocul-ture groups.Conclusion WB-F344 can inhibit the activation of HSC-T6,but it had no influence on expression of ECM.
