Transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)) increases synthesis of secreted protein, acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), as well as fibronectin (FN) and type I collagen. However, little is known about the regulatory mechanism of SPARC expression. We examined the effect of FN on SPARC expression by TGF-beta(1) in cultures of human periodontal ligament cells (HPL cells). TGF-beta(1) increased the SPARC and SPARC mRNA levels in HPL cells. Extracellular matrix (ECM) produced by HPL cells in the presence of TGF-beta(1) also increased the SPARC levels. Contents of FN and type I collagen in the ECM were increased by TGF-beta(1). HPL cells cultured on FN-coated plates secreted more SPARC than those on non-coated plates. However, type I collagen had little effect on SPARC levels. The addition of anti-alpha5 antibody to the cultures abolished the increase in SPARC mRNA expression by TGF-beta(1). This study demonstrated that FN may be partly involved in the increase in SPARC expression by TGF-beta(1) in HPL cells.
转化生长因子-β1(TGF-β1)可增加富含半胱氨酸的酸性分泌蛋白(SPARC)、纤连蛋白(FN)和I型胶原的合成。然而,关于SPARC表达的调控机制知之甚少。我们在人牙周膜细胞(HPL细胞)培养物中研究了FN对TGF-β1诱导的SPARC表达的影响。TGF-β1可增加HPL细胞中SPARC和SPARC mRNA水平。在TGF-β1存在下HPL细胞产生的细胞外基质(ECM)也可增加SPARC水平。TGF-β1可增加ECM中FN和I型胶原的含量。在FN包被的平板上培养的HPL细胞比在未包被平板上培养的细胞分泌更多的SPARC。然而,I型胶原对SPARC水平影响很小。向培养物中添加抗α5抗体可消除TGF-β1诱导的SPARC mRNA表达增加。本研究表明,FN可能部分参与了TGF-β1诱导的HPL细胞中SPARC表达的增加。
