To study transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) autoproduction in keloid fibroblasts and the regulation effect of blocking TGF-beta intracellular signaling on rhTGF-beta1 autoproduction.
Keloid fibroblasts cultured in vitro were treated with either rhTGF-beta1 (5 ng/ml) or recombinant adenovirus containing a truncated type II TGF-beta receptor gene (50 pfu/cell). Their effects of regulating gene expression of TGF-beta1 and its receptor I and II were observed with Northern blot.
rhTGF-beta1 up-regulated the gene expression of TGF-beta1 and receptor I, but not receptor II. Over-expression of the truncated receptor II down-regulated the gene expression of TGF-beta1 and its receptor I, but not receptor II.
TGF-beta1 autoproduction was observed in keloid fibroblasts. Over-expression of the truncated TGFbeta receptor II decreased TGF-beta1 autoproduction via blocking TGF-beta receptor signaling.
研究瘢痕疙瘩成纤维细胞中转化生长因子-β1(TGF-β1)的自身分泌情况,以及阻断TGF-β细胞内信号传导对重组人TGF-β1(rhTGF-β1)自身分泌的调节作用。
体外培养的瘢痕疙瘩成纤维细胞分别用rhTGF-β1(5 ng/ml)或含截短型II型TGF-β受体基因的重组腺病毒(50 pfu/细胞)处理。采用Northern印迹法观察它们对TGF-β1及其I型和II型受体基因表达的调节作用。
rhTGF-β1上调了TGF-β1和I型受体的基因表达,但未上调II型受体的基因表达。截短型II型受体的过表达下调了TGF-β1及其I型受体的基因表达,但未下调II型受体的基因表达。
在瘢痕疙瘩成纤维细胞中观察到TGF-β1自身分泌现象。截短型TGF-β受体II的过表达通过阻断TGF-β受体信号传导降低了TGF-β1自身分泌。
