To explore the regulational effect of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) on expression of type A scavenger receptor (SR-A) in human mesangial cells (HMC).
HMC line (HMCL) with high expression of SR-A (HMCL-SRA) was established after stable transfection of expressive vector with cDNA encoding SR-A. Uptake of Ox-LDL by HMCL was evaluated using Oil Red "O" staining. SR-A mRNA expression was examined using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
More uptake of Ox-LDL was observed in the HMCL-SRA than that in the untransfected HMCL. Ox-LDL could induce SR-A mRNA expression in HMC in a dose-dependent manner, and reached a peak level after 24 h of stimulation. After 24 h of stimulation with Ox-LDL at the dose of 10, 50 and 100 micrograms/ml, SR-A mRNA expression was up-regulated to 1.35, 1.83 and 2.30-fold of controls, respectively. However, LDL had no effect on the expression of SR-A.
It suggests that SR-A be a major binding receptor to uptake Ox-LDL in HMC. Ox-LDL may promote the progression of chronic renal diseases through up-regulation of SR-A.
探讨氧化型低密度脂蛋白(Ox-LDL)对人肾小球系膜细胞(HMC)中A类清道夫受体(SR-A)表达的调节作用。
用编码SR-A的cDNA表达载体稳定转染后,建立SR-A高表达的HMC系(HMCL)(HMCL-SRA)。采用油红“O”染色评估HMCL对Ox-LDL的摄取。用逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测SR-A mRNA表达。
与未转染的HMCL相比,HMCL-SRA对Ox-LDL的摄取更多。Ox-LDL能以剂量依赖的方式诱导HMC中SR-A mRNA表达,并在刺激24小时后达到峰值水平。用10、50和100微克/毫升的Ox-LDL刺激24小时后,SR-A mRNA表达分别上调至对照的1.35、1.83和2.30倍。然而,低密度脂蛋白(LDL)对SR-A的表达没有影响。
提示SR-A是HMC摄取Ox-LDL的主要结合受体。Ox-LDL可能通过上调SR-A促进慢性肾脏疾病的进展。
