Inhibitor of DNA binding 1 (Id1) is a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein that has a variety of functional roles in cellular events including differentiation, cell cycle and cancer development. In addition, it has been demonstrated that Id1 is related with TGF-β and Smad signaling in various biological conditions. In this study, we investigated the effect of Id1 on TGF-β-induced collagen expression in human dermal fibroblasts. When Id1-b isoform was overexpressed, TGF-β-induced collagen expression was markedly inhibited. Consistent with this result, Id1-b significantly inhibited TGF-β-induced collagen gel contraction. In addition, Id1-b inhibited TGF-β-induced phosphorylation of Smad2 and Smad3. Finally, immunohistochemistry showed that Id1 expression was decreased in fibrotic skin diseases while TGF-β signaling was increased. Together, these results suggest that Id1 is an inhibitory regulator on TGF-β-induced collagen expression in dermal fibroblasts.
DNA 结合抑制因子 1(Id1)是一种碱性螺旋-环-螺旋(bHLH)蛋白,在包括分化、细胞周期和癌症发展在内的细胞事件中具有多种功能作用。此外,已经证明 Id1 在各种生物条件下与 TGF-β和 Smad 信号有关。在这项研究中,我们研究了 Id1 对人真皮成纤维细胞中 TGF-β 诱导的胶原蛋白表达的影响。当 Id1-b 同种型过表达时,TGF-β 诱导的胶原蛋白表达明显受到抑制。与该结果一致,Id1-b 显著抑制 TGF-β 诱导的胶原蛋白凝胶收缩。此外,Id1-b 抑制 TGF-β 诱导的 Smad2 和 Smad3 磷酸化。最后,免疫组织化学显示,在纤维化性皮肤病中 Id1 的表达减少,而 TGF-β 信号增加。总之,这些结果表明 Id1 是真皮成纤维细胞中 TGF-β 诱导的胶原蛋白表达的抑制调节因子。
