Abstract: | AIM: To investigate the role of canonical transient receptor potential channel 1 (TRPC1) in the migration of human bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE) induced by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). METHODS: Silencing of TRPC1 gene expression was performed by siRNA. The cell activity and apoptosis were measured by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The migration and invasion abilities of the 16HBE cells were detected by wound- healing assay and Transwell assay. The protein expression of E-cadherin and vimentin was determined by Western blot. RESULTS: TGF-β1 treatment significantly enhanced the cell migration distance compared with control groups (P < 0.01). The results of CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry indicated that there were no significant difference in proliferation and apoptosis among TRPC1 siRNA group, TGF-β1 group and control group (P > 0.05). The results of wound-healing and Transwell assays showed that migration and invasion abilities in TRPC1 siRNA + TGF-β1 group were markedly suppressed compared with TGF-β1 group (P < 0.01). The protein expression of E-cadherin and vimentin induced by TGF-β1 was inhibited by TRPC1 silencing compared with TGF-β1 group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: TRPC1 is involved in the migration of human bronchial epithelial cells induced by TGF-β1 through regulating the protein expression of E-cadherin and vimentin. |
