The objective of this study is to determine the effect of two angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) (Enalapril and Captopril), an angiotensin-II receptor inhibitor (Losartan) and a renin inhibitor (Aliskiren) on renin, TGF-β1 and collagen expressions in human lung fibroblast cultures through real-time PCR and ELISA.
Normal commercial fibroblasts (CCD25) were exposed to 10(-6) M of enalapril, captopril, losartan, or aliskiren for 6 h. Subsequently, media were recovered and proteins were concentrated; RNA was extracted from the cells. Real time-PCR and ELISA were performed.
ACEi and losartan-stimulated fibroblasts showed an increase in the expression of TGF-β1, Collagen-Iα1 (Col-Iα1), and renin (except losartan) vs PolR2A (p < 0.05), and upregulation of TGF-β1 protein (p < 0.01), except with aliskiren.
Results show that ACEis and losartan could play a profibrosing role by inducing the overexpression of molecules such TGF-β1 and Collagen.
本研究旨在通过实时定量聚合酶链反应(PCR)和酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA),确定两种血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂(ACEi)(依那普利和卡托普利)、一种血管紧张素II受体抑制剂(氯沙坦)和一种肾素抑制剂(阿利吉仑)对人肺成纤维细胞培养物中肾素、转化生长因子-β1(TGF-β1)和胶原蛋白表达的影响。
将正常商业成纤维细胞(CCD25)暴露于10⁻⁶ M的依那普利、卡托普利、氯沙坦或阿利吉仑中6小时。随后,收集培养基并浓缩蛋白质;从细胞中提取RNA。进行实时定量PCR和ELISA检测。
与PolR2A相比,ACEi和氯沙坦刺激的成纤维细胞中TGF-β1、I型胶原蛋白α1(Col-Iα1)和肾素(氯沙坦除外)的表达增加(p < 0.05),TGF-β1蛋白上调(p < 0.01),阿利吉仑除外。
结果表明,ACEi和氯沙坦可能通过诱导TGF-β1和胶原蛋白等分子的过度表达发挥促纤维化作用。
