摘要:

文题释义:
高尔基体膜蛋白1(Golgi membrane protein 1,GOLM1):是存在于高尔基体的一种跨膜蛋白,它在人体组织中广泛存在,与多种疾病密切相关,如肝癌、肝纤维化、肾癌及前列腺癌等。
肾纤维化:是指在各种致病因子如炎症、肾组织微环境改变等作用下,细胞外基质过度积聚,导致正常肾组织结构被破坏的病理过程,是各种肾脏疾病发展到肾衰竭的共同通路。

背景:高尔基体膜蛋白1在人体组织中广泛存在,它的异常表达与癌症、病毒感染等多种疾病密切相关。研究表明,高尔基体膜蛋白1可调控一些纤维化细胞因子,但关于其在肾纤维化中的作用尚不清楚。
目的:研究高尔基体膜蛋白1对单侧输尿管梗阻小鼠肾纤维化的影响。
方法:选取6-8周龄的高尔基体膜蛋白1敲除小鼠(KO小鼠)和C57BL/6野生型小鼠(WT小鼠)各12只,分别对小鼠左侧肾脏行单侧输尿管结扎(单侧输尿管梗阻)手术,其右侧肾脏作为对照。单侧输尿管梗阻术后4 d取小鼠肾脏,采用苏木精-伊红染色和Masson染色观察肾组织病理、肾纤维化程度;流式细胞术检测肾脏巨噬细胞浸润比例;qRT-PCR检测肾组织细胞外基质成分及炎症因子mRNA表达。实验方案经上海交通大学动物实验伦理委员会批准。
结果与结论:①WT-单侧输尿管梗阻组和KO-单侧输尿管梗阻组均可见明显肾损伤和肾纤维化,细胞外基质成分Ⅰ型胶原蛋白α1 和纤维连接蛋白表达量显著升高,且KO-单侧输尿管梗阻组肾损伤、肾纤维化程度及细胞外基质表达量均高于WT-单侧输尿管梗阻组(P < 0.05);WT-对照组和KO-对照组肾脏均未出现明显的肾损伤、肾纤维化及细胞外基质沉积;②与WT-单侧输尿管梗阻组相比,KO-单侧输尿管梗阻组的巨噬细胞浸润比例显著增多(P < 0.05),其炎症因子白细胞介素6、肿瘤坏死因子α、白细胞介素1β以及趋化因子 CCL5、单核细胞趋化蛋白1 mRNA表达明显升高(P < 0.05)。WT-对照组和KO-对照组肾脏巨噬细胞浸润较少,炎症递质表达量低;③结果说明,高尔基体膜蛋白1在肾纤维化发展中起保护作用,其机制可能与巨噬细胞浸润、炎症递质的调控有关。

Abstract:


BACKGROUND: Golgi membrane protein 1 (GOLM1) is widespread in human tissues, and its abnormal expression is closely related to cancer, viral infections and other diseases. Studies have shown that GOLM1 can regulate some fibrotic cytokines, but its role in renal fibrosis is unclear.

OBJECTIVE: To study the potential effects of GOLM1 on renal fibrosis in mice.
METHODS: Twelve 6-8-week-old GOLM1 knockout mice and 12 C57BL/6 wild type mice were selected and received an operation with left ureteral obstruction. The right kidney served as a control. The mice were sacrificed on the 4th day after the operation. The kidneys of the mice were divided into four groups: WT-C, WT-UUO, KO-C and KO-UUO. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining were used to observe the renal tissue pathology and the degree of renal fibrosis. The mRNA expression of extracellular matrix components such as type I collagen α1 and fibronectin were detected by qRT-PCR. Flow cytometry was used to detect the proportion of macrophages. The expressions of inflammatory factors were detected by qRT-PCR. The study protocol was approved by the Experimental Animal Ethics Committee of Shanghai Jiaotong University.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The kidneys of the WT-UUO and KO-UUO groups showed obvious kidney injury and renal interstitial fibrosis, and the expression of type I collagen α1 and fibronectin was remarkably increased. Compared with the WT-UUO group, the KO-UUO group had significantly severer renal damage, severer inflammatory cell infiltration and higher expression of extracellular matrix components (P < 0.05). There was no obvious renal injury, renal fibrosis, and extracellular matrix deposition in the kidneys of WT-C group and KO-C group. Compared with the WT-UUO group, the mRNA expression of interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin 1β, C-C motif chemokine ligand 5 and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 increased significantly in the KO-UUO group (P < 0.05). Besides, the proportion of macrophage infiltration was also increased significantly in the KO-UUO group (P < 0.05). In the two control groups, there was less macrophage infiltration and low expression of inflammatory mediators in the renal tissue. To conclude, GOLM1 plays a protective role in the development of renal fibrosis. Its mechanism may be related to macrophage infiltration and the regulation of inflammatory mediators.
