To investigate the effect of IL-17 on the expression of collagen I/III in cardiac fibroblasts and analyze its molecular mechanism.
Cardiac fibroblasts were isolated from 7-14-day-old BALB/c mice and cultured in DMEM with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). The cells were collected after IL-17 treatment for 0, 24, 48, 72 h. IL-17 receptors on cardiac fibroblasts were detected by PCR; the collagen I/III expression was analyzed by immunofluorescence; the PKCβ, Erk1/2, NF-κB phosphorylation were investigated by Western blotting.
IL-17RA/C was expressed on cardiac fibroblasts; after 24 h of IL-17 stimulation, the collagen I/III expression obviously increased; Western blotting showed that PKCβ, Erk1/2 and NF-κB were phosphorylated on 30, 45, 45 min, respectively.
IL-17 could induce the expression of collagen I/III in cardiac fibroblasts, which might be related with PKCβ-ERK1/2-NF-κB phosphorylation.
研究白细胞介素-17(IL-17)对心脏成纤维细胞中I/III型胶原蛋白表达的影响,并分析其分子机制。
从7至14日龄的BALB/c小鼠中分离出心脏成纤维细胞,在含有10%胎牛血清(FBS)的DMEM培养基中培养。在IL-17处理0、24、48、72小时后收集细胞。通过PCR检测心脏成纤维细胞上的IL-17受体;通过免疫荧光分析I/III型胶原蛋白的表达;通过蛋白质印迹法研究蛋白激酶Cβ(PKCβ)、细胞外信号调节激酶1/2(Erk1/2)、核因子κB(NF-κB)的磷酸化情况。
心脏成纤维细胞上表达IL-17RA/C;IL-17刺激24小时后,I/III型胶原蛋白表达明显增加;蛋白质印迹法显示PKCβ、Erk1/2和NF-κB分别在30、45、45分钟时发生磷酸化。
IL-17可诱导心脏成纤维细胞中I/III型胶原蛋白的表达,这可能与PKCβ-ERK1/2-NF-κB磷酸化有关。
