-
摘要:
目的 探讨miR-29c-3p通过IGF-1对肝星状细胞（hepatic stellate cells，HSCs）活化，增殖和凋亡的影响。 方法 原代培养小鼠HSCs，并通过免疫荧光检测HSCs标志物ɑ-SMA表达。双荧光素酶报告基因实验验证miR-29c-3p和IGF-1的靶向关系。TGF-β激活HSCs，并且外源性调控miR-29c-3p和IGF-1的表达水平后，分别采用Westernbolt，CCK-8，克隆形成实验和流式细胞术检测活化HSCs中活化相关蛋白（ɑ-SMA，DDR2，FN1，ITGB1和GFAP）的表达，增殖，克隆形成数和凋亡。 结果 ɑ-SMA阳性表达表明成功分离小鼠HSCs。miR-29c-3p mimic可降低野生型IGF-1的荧光素酶活性，但是对突变型IGF-1没有影响。过表达miR-29c-3p和低表达IGF-1能减少ɑ-SMA，DDR2，FN1和ITGB1表达，增加GFAP的表达，并且降低HSCs的增殖活力和克隆形成数，上调其凋亡比例。 结论 miR-29c-3p通过靶向抑制IGF-1表达，进而抑制HSCs活化和增殖，并促进其凋亡。 Abstract:Objective To investigate the effects of miR-29c-3p on the activation, proliferation and apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells （HSCs） via IGF-1. Methods Primary mouse HSCs were cultured and the expression of HSCs marker ɑ-SMA was detected by immunofluorescence. By dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was conducted to Validate the Targeting Relationship between miR-29c-3p and IGF-1. After TGF-β activation of HSCs and exogenous regulation of miR-29c-3p and IGF-1 expression, the expression of activation-related proteins （ɑ-SMA, DDR2, FN1, ITGB1 and GFAP）, proliferation, colony-forming number and apoptosis in activated HSCs were detected by Western bolt, CCK-8, colony-forming unit assays and flow cytometry, respectively. Results Positive expression of ɑ-SMA indicated that the successful isolation of mouse HSCs. miR-29c-3p significantly reduced the luciferase activity of wild-type IGF-1, but had no effect on mutant IGF-1. Over-expression of miR-29c-3p and hypo-expression of IGF-1 significantly decreased ɑ-SMA, DDR2, FN1 and ITGB1 expression, increased GFAP expression, and decreased proliferation viability and colony-forming number of HSCs and upregulated their apoptotic ratio. Conclusion miR-29c-3p inhibits the activation and proliferation of HSCs and promotes their apoptosis by targeting IGF-1 expression. -
