In order to find the possible mechanism of Dexamethasone (Dex) during curing fibrosis, the bleomycin (BLM)-induced mice model was used. After fibrosis were induced by BLM, histopathological evaluation and RT-PCR were employed to detect the expression of TGF-β1, Smad3 and STAT1. It was found that BLM promoted the development of inflammation, leading to severe pulmonary fibrosis with the increasing of TGF-β1, Smad3 and STAT1. After Dex treatment, the expression of TGF-β1, Smad3 and STAT1 showed a little higher with alleviation of the fibrosis. Thus it is concluded that there is a possible pathway of mouse pulmonary fibrosis model through TGF-β, Smad3 and JAK-STAT pathway.
为了探究地塞米松(Dex)在治疗纤维化过程中的可能机制,采用了博来霉素(BLM)诱导的小鼠模型。在BLM诱导纤维化后,采用组织病理学评估和逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测转化生长因子-β1(TGF-β1)、Smad3和信号转导子与转录激活子1(STAT1)的表达。结果发现,BLM促进炎症发展,导致严重的肺纤维化,同时TGF-β1、Smad3和STAT1表达增加。Dex治疗后,TGF-β1、Smad3和STAT1的表达略有升高,纤维化有所减轻。因此得出结论,小鼠肺纤维化模型可能存在通过TGF-β、Smad3和JAK-STAT途径的通路。
