摘要:

背景:前期实验表明增生性瘢痕中RhoA和ROCK-I基因表达较正常皮肤高,提示RhoA/ROCK-I信号通路可能参与了增生性瘢痕的发生,但其在病理性瘢痕中的作用尚不清楚。
目的:研究RhoA/ROCK-I信号通路在增生性瘢痕成纤维细胞结缔组织生长因子(connective tissue growth factor,CTGF)表达调控中的作用。
方法:分离培养人增生性瘢痕组织来源的成纤维细胞,应用转化生长因子β1及Rho激酶的特异抑制剂Y-27632对细胞进行干预实验。采用实时荧光定量PCR及免疫荧光细胞化学方法检测瘢痕成纤维细胞中RhoA,ROCK-I及CTGF mRNA与蛋白的表达。
结果与结论:给予转化生长因子β1后,增生性瘢痕成纤维细胞中RhoA,ROCK-I及CTGF mRNA与蛋白表达明显增多(P < 0.01);而Y-27632能阻碍转化生长因子β1的作用;但单独给予Y-27632并不引起瘢痕成纤维细胞中RhoA,ROCK-I及CTGF的mRNA与蛋白表达改变。说明转化生长因子β1可通过RhoA/ROCK-I信号通路调控CTGF mRNA与蛋白的表达,即RhoA/ROCK-I信号通路参与了瘢痕成纤维细胞CTGF的表达调控,阻断RhoA下游通路是增生性瘢痕治疗靶点之一。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Our previous research has demonstrated that the expression of RhoA and ROCK-I in hypertrophic scar fibroblasts were greater than those in normal skins. These result suggested that RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway might take part in the hypertrophic scar formation. But these effects are still unclear in the hypertrophic scar formation.
OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of on expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in hypertrophic scar fibroblasts.
METHODS: Fibroblasts were obtained from human hypertrophic scars and cultured in the mediums. Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and Y-27632 were used to intervene the cells. Fluorescent quantitative PCR assay and immunofluorescence cytochemistry were used to quantify the expression and secretion of RhocA, ROCK-I and CTGF in the hypertrophic scar fibroblasts.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Upon TGF-β1 treatment, the expression and secretion of RhocA, ROCK-I and CTGF in the hypertrophic scar fibroblasts were significantly increased (P < 0.01). But these effects of TGF-β1 on ROCK-I and CTGF were inhibited in the TGF-β1+Y-27632 group. However, there were no expression changes after single Y-27632 treatment. This indicated that TGF-β1 can regulate the expression of CTGF via RhoA/ROCK-I signaling pathway, namely, RhoA/ROCK-I signaling pathway participate the expression regulation of CTGF in hypertrophic scar fibroblasts and block the downstream pathway, which may be one of the molecular mechanism of TGF-β1 in effecting hypertrophic scar formation.
