AIM: To investigated the role of CT-1 in the hypertensive ventricular remodeling. METHODS: The cardiac fibroblasts in 3-4 passages were cultured in vitro, and divided into eight groups according to the different intervention factors: group C (control); group DM: dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO); group P: cultured under high hydrostatic pressure (160 mmHg); group ASODN: interfered with CT-1 antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (10 μmol/L); group SODN: incubated with CT-1 sense oligodeoxynucleotides (10 μmol/L); group AG: interfered with AG490 (25 μmol/L); group PD: interfered with PD98059 (20 μmol/L); group LY: interfered with LY 294002 (10 μmol/L). Western blotting was employed to assess the expression of STAT3, ERK1/2 and PI3-K respectively at protein level. Cell proliferation was quantified by MTT. RESULTS: High hydrostatic pressure stimulated the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts, upregulated the expression of CT-1. CT-1ASODN inhibited the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts (0.132±0.013 vs 0.154±0.011, P<0.05). ASODN extensively inhibited the expression of STAT3, ERK1/2 and PI3-k respectively at protein level (2.09±0.25 vs 2.47±0.28, P<0.05), (1.13±0.19 vs 1.61±0.22, P<0.05), (1.25±0.23 vs1.71±0.25, P<0.05). AG490, a JAK-STAT3 inhibitor, reversed the increase in the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts stimulated by high hydrostatic pressure and the expression of ERK1 phosphorylation (0.118±0.018 vs 0.155±0.010, P<0.05). PD98059, a MAPK-ERK1/2 inhibitor, increased the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts stimulated by high hydrostatic pressure (0.185±0.011 vs 0.155±0.010, P<0.05) and the expression of STAT3 phosphorylation (1.83±0.23 vs 1.58±0.22, P<0.05). LY294002, a PI3-K inhibitor, had no effect on the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts stimulated by high hydrostatic pressure (0.157±0.015 vs 0.155±0.010, P>0.05). No difference of the expression of the above factors was observed in SOND (0.151±0.010 vs 0.154±0.011, P>0.05) and DMSO (0.141±0.017 vs 0.155±0.010, P>0.05) groups as compared with the control group. CONCLUSION: Under high hydrostatic pressure, the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts is essentially mediated by STAT3, independent of PI3-K and the action is negatively regulated by ERK1/2 via inhibiting STAT3.The interaction between STAT3 and ERK1/2 may assist CT-1 in developing adequate cardiac fibroblast proliferation. 相似文献

AIM: To explore the influence of angiotensin-(1-7) on angiotension II (Ang II)-induced activation and extracellular matrix secretion in rat renal interstitial fibroblasts (NRK-49F cells). METHODS: The NRK-49F cells were maintained and sub-cultured, then the cells were divided into control group, Ang II group, Ang-(1-7) group and Ang II+Ang-(1-7) group. The expression of α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA),transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and insulin-like growth factor I(IGF-I) was detected by the method of immunocytochemistry when the cells were cultured for 72 h. The content of TGF-β1, IGF-I and collagen type I(Col I) in the cultured supernatants were measured by ELISA. RESULTS: In control group and Ang-(1-7) group, only basic expression of α-SMA and almost no expression of TGF-β1, IGF-I and Col I were observed. Compared with control group, the expression of α-SMA, TGF-β1, IGF-I and Col I was increased in Ang II group. Compared with Ang II group, the expression of α-SMA, TGF-β1, IGF-I and Col I was significantly decreased in Ang II+Ang-(1-7) group.CONCLUSION: Ang-(1-7) inhibits the activation of renal interstitial fibroblasts and decreases the Ang II induced secretion of Col I by suppressing TGF-β1 and IGF-I expression. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the different dose of perindopril on cardiac function in the rabbits with ischemic cardiac dysfunction. METHODS: Male rabbits weighing 2.5~3.0 kg(n=30) were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=10):high dose perindopril group(HD group), low dose perindopril group(LD group) and cardiac dysfunction group(CD group). The Left anterior descending coronary artery of the rabbits was ligatured for model preparation. In HD group, the rabbits were treated with perindopril split normal saline solution(1 g/L)2 mL·kg-1·d-1. In LD group, the rabbits were treated with perindopril split normal saline solution(0.33 g/L)2 mL·kg-1·d-1. In CD group, the rabbits were treated with normal saline solution 2 mL·kg-1·d-1. Four weeks after treatment, the cardiac function was measured via echocardiography, the mRNA expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2) and angiotensin type 2 receptor(AT2R) was analyzed by real-time PCR, serum angiotensin(Ang)-(1-9) and Ang-(1-7) levels were detected by ELISA. RESULTS: Compared with CD group, the cardiac function of the 2 groups treated with perindopril was significantly improved(P<0.01), and more improvement in HD group was observed than LD group(P<0.05). The serum angiotensin(Ang)-(1-9) and Ang-(1-7) level and the mRNA expression of ACE2 and AT2R in the 2 groups treated with perindopril were significantly improved(P<0.01). Compared with LD group, the mRNA expression of ACE2 and AT2R and the serum levels of Ang-(1-9) in HD group were significant improved(P<0.05), while no difference of serum Ang-(1-7) level was observed. Correlation analysis revealed that the improvement of the cardiac function was associated with serum Ang-(1-9) level, mRNA expression of ACE2 and AT2R(P<0.01), but has no significant correlation with serum Ang-(1-7) level. CONCLUSION: High dose of perindopril may improve more cardiac function in ischemic cardiac dysfunction model in rabbits. The mechanism may relate to increasing serum Ang-(1-7) level to activate AT2R. 相似文献

AIM: To explore the effect of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) on the vascular adventitial remodeling in a hypertension rat model. METHODS: The rats were randomly divided into control group, mini-pump infusion of saline group and mini-pump infusion of angiotensin II (Ang II) group as the hypertension model. The systolic pressure and vascular morphology of the rats were examined. Adventitial fibroblasts were treated with Ang II, PD98059 (ERK1/2 inhibitor) and Ang II+PD98059. The catalase (CAT) expression in the cells was detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: Compared with control group and mini-pump infusion of saline group, the systolic pressure and carotid media thickness (stained by HE) in mini-pump infusion of Ang II group were significantly increased (P<0.01). Meanwhile, artery morphology in mini-pump infusion of Ang II group had obviously changed with a significant occurrence of pathological vascular remodeling. The result of Western blotting showed that the expression of CAT in the adventitial fibroblasts treated with Ang II+PD98059 was much higher than that in the cells treated with Ang II alone (P<0.05), indicating that down-regulation of CAT induced by Ang II was restored by ERK1/2 signaling pathway. CONCLUSION: Ang II down-regulates CAT through ERK1/2 pathway and promotes cell phenotype transformation, which lead to pathological vascular remodeling. 相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effect of berberine on oxidative damage and silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1)/p53 pathway in the liver tissues of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) rats and to explore the mechanism of berberine against NAFLD. METHODS:The male SD rats (n=24) were randomly divided into normal group, model group and berberine group (8 rats in each group). The rats in normal group was fed with normal diet, while the rats in model group and berberine group were fed with high-fat diet. The rats in berberine group was intragastrically administered with daily doses (100 mg/kg) of berberine for 16 weeks. The levels of liver total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and total anti-oxidant capatity (T-AOC) were measured. HE staining, oil red O straining and transmission electron microscopy were used to observe the histological changes of the livers. The protein levels of SIRT1, p53 and acetylated p53 (Ac-p53) were determined by Western blot. RESULTS:Compared with model group, the levels of liver TC, TG and MDA in berberine group were significantly reduced (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the levels of SOD and T-AOC were significantly increased (P<0.01). The results of pathological observation showed that the lipid accumulation in the liver of berberine group was significantly attenuated. Compared with model group, the expression of SIRT1 was significantly increased and the expression of Ac-p53 was obviously reduced in berberine group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION:Berberine reduces hepatic steatosis and oxidative damage in NAFLD rats induce by high-fat diet, and this effect may be associated with regulation of the SIRT1/p53 signal pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of rhynchophylline (Rhy) on blood pressure, cardiac hypertrophy and myocardial fibrosis in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). METHODS: Spontaneously hypertensive rats were randomly divided into model group, high dose (10 mg·kg-1·d-1) and low dose (2.5 mg·kg-1·d-1) group of rhynchophylline, captopril group (17.5 mg·kg-1·d-1). Wistar-Kyoto rats were used as normal control. Respectively, systolic blood pressure was measured by tail cuff every 2 weeks. After 10 weeks, heart weight index and left ventricular weight index were calculated. The myocardial hydroxyproline and plasma angiotensin Ⅱ were detected. Moreover, basic myocardial histopathological changes and myocardial collagen fibres were observed by HE staining and Masson staining, respectively. The protein expression of TGF-β1 and Smad3 in the myocardium was measured by the methods of immunohistochemistry and Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with SHR model group, Rhy significantly reduced blood pressure (P<0.05), the levels of HYP in the myocardium (P<0.05) and the levels of AngⅡ in the plasma (P<0.01). The pathological damages of the myocardial tissues and collagen deposition were attenuated. The protein expression of TGF-β1 and Smad3 was significantly reduced by the treatment with Rhy (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Rhynchophylline reduces blood pressure and adjusts to improve ventricular remodeling of SHR. The mechanism may be involved in the TGF-β1/Smad pathway and reducing AngⅡ content. 相似文献

AIM: To explore the effect of microRNA (miR)-21 on proliferation, migration and differentiation abilities of c-Kit+ cardiac stem cells (CSCs). METHODS: c-Kit+ CSCs were cultured and selected by the methods of enzyme digestion and magnetic bead separation. miR-21 mimics (50 nmol/L) and mimics negative control (MNC) were transfected into c-Kit+ CSCs with Lipofectamine® 2000. The cells was divided into 3 groups:control group:c-Kit+ CSCs without any pretreatment; MNC group:the cells were transfected with MNC for 48 h; mimics group:the cells were transfected with miR-21 mimics for 48 h. qPCR was used to assess the expression of miR-21 in each group. CCK-8 and EdU assays were used to determine the cell proliferation. qPCR and immunofluorescence were used to detect the differentiation in each group. Scratch assay was adopted to explore the migration ability of the cells. RESULTS: The expression of c-Kit in the c-Kit+ CSCs were 90.8%, with 0.6% of CD45 and 0.5% of CD34. A significant increase in miR-21 expression was observed when the cells were transfected with miR-21 mimics for 48 h (P<0.05). CCK-8 and EdU assays showed that miR-21 significantly increased cell proliferation as compared with MNC group and control group (P<0.05). No difference in the expression of Nkx2.5, CD31 and α-SMA at mRNA and protein levels was observed, and no difference of the migration ability in 3 groups of the c-Kit+ CSCs was found. CONCLUSION: Over-expression of miR-21 significantly promotes the proliferation of c-Kit+ CSCs, without any effect on the cell migration and differentiation. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the mechanism that insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) inhibits proliferation of human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. METHODS: Plasmid pCMV6-IGFBP7 or empty plasmid was transfected into MCF-7 cells. The expression of IGFBP7 in MCF-7 cells after transfection was detected by Western blotting. The effects of IGFBP7 on the colony-forming efficiency and the cell cycle were studied by soft agar colony formation assay and flow cytometry,respectively. The effects of IGFBP7 on the expression of ERK1/2, p-ERK1/2, cyclin D1, CDK4, cyclin E, CDK2, p21CIP1/WAF1, p27KIP1, p53, Rb and p-Rb in MCF-7 cells were detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: Only the transfectant of pCMV6-IGFBP7 expressed IGFBP7. IGFBP7 remarkably reduced colony-forming efficiency (P<0.01) and G0/G1 arrest (P<0.01), inhibited phosphorylation of ERK1/2 (P<0.01), down-regulated cyclin D1 and cyclin E (P<0.01), up-regulated p27KIP1, p21CIP1/WAF1 and p53 (P<0.01), and inhibited phosphorylation of Rb (P<0.01) in MCF-7 cells. PD98059, an inhibitor of MEK1 and MEK2, imitated part of the tumor-suppressing activity of IGFBP7. CONCLUSION: IGFBP7 inhibits the proliferation of human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 by down-regulating cyclin D1 and cyclin E, up-regulating p27KIP1, p21CIP1/WAF1 and p53 and inhibiting phosphorylation of Rb. ERK1/2 signaling pathway might be involved in the regulation of cyclin D1 and p27KIP1 by IGFBP7. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of microRNA-204 (miR-204) on the proliferation of Hodgkin lymphoma cells and the underlying mechanism. METHODS: The expression of miR-204 and Sirt1 mRNA in Hodgkin lymphoma tissues was detected by RT-qPCR. After transfection with miR-204 mimic, Sirt1 siRNA and miR-204 mimic+pcDNA3.1-Sirt1 into the L428 cells, the cell viability and BrdU incorporation were measured by CCK-8 assay and BrdU assay, respectively. The protein levels of Sirt1 and acetylated p53 (ac-p53) were determined by Western blot.The targeting relationship between miR-204 and Sirt1 was verified by double luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS: The low expression of miR-204 and the high mRNA expression of Sirt1 were found in the Hodgkin lymphoma tissues. Compared with control group, the cell viability, BrdU incorporation and the protein levels of Sirt1 and ac-p53 were significantly decreased after L428 cells were transfected with miR-204 mimic or Sirt1 siRNA (P<0.05). Compared with miR-204 mimic alone group, the cell viability, BrdU incorporation and the protein levels of Sirt1 and ac-p53 were increased after L428 cells were co-transfected with miR-204 mimic and pcDNA3.1-Sirt1 (P<0.05). The results of double luciferase reporter assay confiermed that Sirt1 was the target gene of miR-204.

AIM: To investigate the effects of integrin-linked kinase (ILK) overexpression on survival and proliferation of cardiac c-Kit+ cells, and the role of ILK-overexpressing c-Kit+ cell transplantation in cardiac function in a rat myocardial infarction (MI) model.METHODS: Cardiac c-Kit+ cells were isolated from the hearts of neonatal Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and cultured to prepare the ILK-c-Kit+ cells by infected with recombinant adenoviral vector harboring human wild-type ILK cDNA. The survival and proliferation of cardiac c-Kit+ cells were detected by cell counting and CCK-8 assay at 48 h after infection, respectively. The protein levels of cyclin D1 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in the cardiac c-Kit+ cells were examined by Western blot. MI was induced by coronary artery ligation in 40 adult rats. After 15 min, ILK-c-Kit+ cells were transplanted into the hearts by myocardial injection at 3 different sites in the infracted zone and border zone. All rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:sham group, MI plus saline injection group (MI group), MI plus null vector-infected cardiac c-Kit+ cell injection group (Ad-null-c-Kit+ cell group), and MI plus ILK-overexpressing cardiac c-Kit+ cells injection group (ILK-c-Kit+ cell group), with 10 rats in each group. At 2 weeks after MI, the protein levels of c-Kit in MI hearts were investigated by immunohistochemical assay. At 4 weeks, left ventricular function was examined by hemodynamic measurement.RESULTS: The survival and proliferation of cardiac c-Kit+ cells and the protein levels of cyclin D1 and PCNA were enhanced by ILK overexpression compared with Ad-null group. In MI rat model, the number of c-Kit+ cells was increased by ILK-c-Kit+ cell injection compared with Ad-null-c-Kit+ cell group at 2 weeks after MI. Cardiac function was significantly improved in ILK-c-Kit+ cell-transplanted rats.CONCLUSION: ILK overexpression improves survival and proliferation of cardiac c-Kit+ cells by increasing the protein levels of cyclin D1 and PCNA. ILK-c-Kit+ cell transplantation enhances the therapeutic efficiency of cardiac c-Kit+ cells in the post-MI hearts of rats. 相似文献

AIM:To study the effect of insulin on proliferation and hypertrophy of cardiac myocytes and its role in the induction of cardiac hypertrophy. METHODS:1. The neonatal rat cardiac myocytes and cardiac fibroblasts were cultured respectively and identified with light microscopy, electron microscopy and immunocytochemistry. 2. Cell proliferation was measured with cell number, metabolic activity and DNA synthesis (with WST-1, BrdU enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ) and the percentage of S+G2+M in cell cycle (by flow cytometry ). 3.Cell hypertrophy was evaluated by cell protein content (Coomassie Briliant Blue's method). RESULTS:1. The cultured cells showed the characteristic of cardiac myocytes and cardiac fibroblasts, respectively. 2. After being treated with insulin, the cell number, absorbance of BrdU incorporation and WST-1 cleavage products and the percentage of S+G2+M of cardiac fibroblasts increased significantly (P<0.01 orP<0.05), while the above parameters of cardiac myocytes remained unchanged (P>0.05). 3. Protein content of cardiac myocytes increased significantly in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.01 orP<0.05) in insulin treated groups (10-10 mol/L-10-7 mol/L). CONCLUSION:Insulin promoted cardiac fibroblast proliferation and increased myocytes protein content(induced myocyte hypertrophy)in vitroand may play an important role in pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophyin vivo. 相似文献

AIM: To observe the expression of Akt/GSK-3β/Snail signaling pathway-related molecules in cisplatin-resistant cell line A549/DDP mediated by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), and to explore the association of Akt/GSK-3β/Snail signaling pathway with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). METHODS: The A549/DDP cells were divided into TGF-β1 (+) group, TGF-β1 (-) group and LY294002 group. The morphological changes of A549/DDP cells treated with TGF-β1 were observed under microscope. The protein expression of E-cadherin and N-cadherin was determined by the methods of immumofluorescence and Western blot. The protein levels of Akt, p-Akt, GSK-3β, p-GSK-3βSer9 and Snail were also detected by Western blot. RESULTS: The A549/DDP cells in TGF-β1 (+) group were dispersive, showed a spindle-like shape and developed pseudopodia. This transformation was conformed to classic EMT markers. Compared with TGF-β1 (-) group, the protein expression of E-cadherin in TGF-β1 (+) group was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and N-cadherin was significantly increased (P<0.05). The protein levels of p-Akt, p-GSK-3βSer9 and Snail were also significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with TGF-β1 (+) group, the protein levels of p-Akt, p-GSK-3βSer9 and Snail were significantly decreased in LY294002 group (P<0.05). No difference of Akt and GSK-3β expression between TGF-β1 (-) group and TGF-β1 (+) group was observed. CONCLUSION: The mechanism of EMT in A549/DDP cells might be related to Akt/GSK-3β/Snail signaling pathway activated by TGF-β1. 相似文献

AIM: To study the effect of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on the growth and apoptosis of ova-rian cancer cell line SKOV-3 and its molecular mechanism. METHODS: SKOV-3 cells were treated with different concentrations of EGCG (0~50 μmol/L), SRT1720 (1 μmol/L) or EX527 (1 μmol/L) for 24 h. The cell activity was evaluated by CCK-8 assay. The apoptosis of SKOV-3 cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. The mRNA expression of Bcl-2 and Bax was detected by real-time PCR. SIRT1 deacetylase fluorometric assay kit was used to detect the activity of SIRT1. The protein levels of SIRT1 and acetylated P53 (Ac-P53) were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: EGCG or EX527 decreased the deacetylase activity and protein expression of SIRT1, and increased the level of Ac-P53 in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, SRT1720 abrogated the effects of EGCG on the activity, apoptosis and SIRT1-P53 pathways in ovarian cancer cell line SKOV-3. CONCLUSION: EGCG inhibits the activity and induces apoptosis of ovarian cancer cell line SKOV-3 by regulating SIRT1-P53 pathways. 相似文献
