To investigate the mechanism of bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis.
Cultured human fetal lung fibroblast (HLF) cells were exposed to bleomycin (BLM) at 0-30 microg/mL for 24 h. Western blot analysis was used to detect lysyl oxidase (LO) protein expression. Real-time RT-PCR was used to detect LO mRNA level. LO catalytic activity was measured using diaminopentane as a substrate and Amplex red as a hydrogen peroxide probe. Copper (Cu) concentration was detected by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry.
Exposure of HLF cells to BLM at 10 microg/mL and 30 microg/mL increased LO catalytic activity to 130% and 158% of the control in the conditioned media. The expression of LO mRNA was increased to 5.5-fold of the control in HLF cells exposure to BLM at 3 microg/mL. BLM at 3 microg/mL also increased the expression of 46 kDa preproLO, 50 kDa proLO and 32 kDa mature LO to 219%, 130%, and 135% of the control, respectively. The Cu concentrations in conditioned media of cultured HLF cells exposed to BLM (10 and 30 microg/mL) were increased significantly to 1.48 and 2.46-fold of the control, respectively.
Bleomycin induces upregulation of LO in cultured human fetal lung fibroblasts, which may be the mechanism of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis.
探讨博来霉素(BLM)诱导肺纤维化的机制。
将培养的人胎肺成纤维细胞(HLF)暴露于 0-30μg/ml 的博来霉素(BLM)中 24 小时。采用 Western blot 分析检测赖氨酰氧化酶(LO)蛋白表达。实时 RT-PCR 检测 LO mRNA 水平。以二氨基戊烷为底物,Amplex red 为过氧化氢探针,测定 LO 催化活性。火焰原子吸收分光光度法检测铜(Cu)浓度。
HLF 细胞暴露于 10μg/ml 和 30μg/ml 的 BLM 时,LO 催化活性分别增加至对照的 130%和 158%。HLF 细胞暴露于 3μg/ml 的 BLM 时,LO mRNA 的表达增加至对照的 5.5 倍。BLM 还可将 46 kDa 前 proLO、50 kDa proLO 和 32 kDa 成熟 LO 的表达分别增加至对照的 219%、130%和 135%。暴露于 BLM(10 和 30μg/ml)的培养 HLF 细胞的条件培养基中的 Cu 浓度分别显著增加至对照的 1.48 倍和 2.46 倍。
