摘要:

文题释义:
转化生长因子β1:是来自转化生长因子β超家族中具有多种生物学功能的生长因子,可调节细胞生长、增殖和分化,参与骨组织基质中胶原蛋白和蛋白聚糖的生成,保持软骨细胞处在未分化的状态,抑制其终末肥大,能够保护和修复关节软骨、抑制骨关节炎的发生。
骨关节炎:是一种在中老年人群中常见的退化性关节疾病,主要表现为关节软骨的退化、软骨下骨硬化及骨质增生。

背景:骨关节炎的重要病理变化是关节软骨的退变,转化生长因子β1和Ras同源基因家族成员A分别在维持关节软骨稳态和骨关节炎的发生发展中起重要作用。
目的:探讨转化生长因子β1、Ras同源基因家族成员A在软骨细胞分化过程中对细胞形态、骨架及相关因子表达的影响,以及转化生长因子β1与Ras同源基因家族成员A、性别决定区Y框蛋白9之间的相互调控关系。
方法:外源性添加转化生长因子β1不同质量浓度、不同时间刺激ATDC5细胞,检测Ras同源基因家族成员A、性别决定区Y框蛋白9的蛋白表达情况;转化生长因子β1、LY-364947(一种有效的ATP竞争性转化生长因子β受体Ⅰ抑制剂)、溶血磷脂酸(Ras同源基因家族成员A激动剂)不同组合处理ATDC5细胞72 h,检测Ras同源基因家族成员A、性别决定区Y框蛋白9、转化生长因子β的蛋白表达情况,并观察细胞形态、细胞骨架的变化情况。
结果与结论:①随着转化生长因子β1作用质量浓度和时间的增加,Ras同源基因家族成员A、性别决定区Y框蛋白9蛋白表达水平显著升高(P < 0.001);②相比空白对照组,溶血磷脂酸能够显著提高Ras同源基因家族成员A、性别决定区Y框蛋白9蛋白表达水平(P < 0.001),但溶血磷脂酸对转化生长因子β的蛋白表达水平没有影响(P > 0.05),转化生长因子β1+溶血磷脂酸处理细胞使Ras同源基因家族成员A、性别决定区Y框蛋白9和转化生长因子β的蛋白表达水平都显著升高(P < 0.001),LY-364947使Ras同源基因家族成员A、性别决定区Y框蛋白9的蛋白表达水平降低(P < 0.001),并且显著减弱了溶血磷脂酸对Ras同源基因家族成员A、性别决定区Y框蛋白9的激活作用(P < 0.001);③相比未经处理的空白对照组,转化生长因子β1、溶血磷脂酸、转化生长因子β1+溶血磷脂酸处理ATDC5细胞后,细胞形态伸长、胞内肌动蛋白丝排列更加有序,聚集在细胞边缘的肌动蛋白丝增多,LY-364947使细胞形态变为多边形,肌动蛋白丝排列紊乱,细胞边缘的肌动蛋白丝减少;LY-364947+溶血磷脂酸对细胞形态和骨架的改变情况与LY-364947处理组有类似的结果;④提示在ATDC5细胞中,转化生长因子β1对Ras同源基因家族成员A、性别决定区Y框蛋白9的蛋白表达水平有浓度剂量和时间叠加作用,转化生长因子β1可能是Ras同源基因家族成员A、性别决定区Y框蛋白9的上游因子,转化生长因子β1通过调控Ras同源基因家族成员A、性别决定区Y框蛋白9的表达调节细胞骨架的功能,进而参与调节骨关节炎的发生发展过程。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: The important pathological change of osteoarthritis is the degeneration of articular cartilage. Transforming growth factor β1 and Ras homolog gene family member A play an important role in maintaining the stability of articular cartilage and the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis, respectively.  
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of transforming growth factor-β1 and Ras homolog gene family member A on chondrocyte morphology, cytoskeleton and expression of related factors during chondrocyte differentiation, and the mutual regulation relationship between transforming growth factor-β1, Ras homolog gene family member A and SRY related HMG box-9.
METHODS:  Exogenous transforming growth factor β1 at different concentrations was added to stimulate ATDC5 cells to detect the protein expression of Ras homolog gene family member A and SRY related HMG box-9 at different times. Transforming growth factor-β1, LY-364947 (a potent ATP-competitive inhibitor of transforming growth factor-β receptor I) and lysophosphatidic acid (a Ras homolog gene family member A agonist) were used in different combinations to deal with ATDC5 cells for 72 hours. The protein expression levels of Ras homolog gene family member A, SRY related HMG box-9 and transforming growth factor-β were detected, and the changes in cell morphology and cytoskeleton were also observed.  
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: With the increase of transforming growth factor-β1 concentration and time, the expression levels of Ras homolog gene family member A and SRY related HMG box-9 proteins increased significantly (P < 0.001). Compared with the control group, lysophosphatidic acid significantly increased the expression levels of Ras homolog gene family member A and SRY related HMG box-9 protein (P < 0.001), but lysophosphatidic acid treatment had no effect on the protein expression level of transforming growth factor-β1 (P > 0.05). The combination of transforming growth factor-β1 and lysophosphatidic acid significantly increased the protein levels of transforming growth factor-β1, Ras homolog gene family member A, and SRY related HMG box-9 in the treated cells (P < 0.001). LY-364947 decreased the protein levels of RhoA and SRY related HMG box-9 (P < 0.001), and significantly reduced the activation effects of lysophosphatidic acid on Ras homolog gene family member A and SRY related HMG box-9 (P < 0.001). Compared with the control group, after treatment with transforming growth factor-β1, lysophosphatidic acid and their combination, the cell morphology was elongated, the intracellular actin filaments were arranged in a more orderly manner, and the number of actin filaments aggregated at the cell edge was increased. LY-364947 made the morphology of cells become polygonal, the arrangement of actin filaments was disordered, and the actin filaments at the edge of cells decreased. The changes in cell morphology and cytoskeleton by LY-364947+lysophosphatidic acid treatment were similar to those in the LY-364947 treatment group. Therefore, in ATDC5 cells, transforming growth factor-β1 has a superposition effect on Ras homolog gene family member A and SRY related HMG box-9 protein expression in concentration, dose and time. Transforming growth factor-β1 may be the upstream factor of Ras homolog gene family member A and SRY related HMG box-9, regulates the expression of Ras homolog gene family member A and SRY related HMG box-9 to regulate the function of cytoskeleton, and thus participates in the development and progression of osteoarthritis.

Key words: osteoarthritis, transforming growth factor-β1, Ras homolog gene family member A, SRY related HMG box-9, cytoskeleton
