The F1F0-ATP synthase, an enzyme complex, is mainly located on the mitochondrial inner membrane or sometimes cytomembrane to generate or hydrolyze ATP, play a role in cell proliferation. This study focused on the role of F1F0-ATP synthase in keratinocyte differentiation, and its relationship with intracellular and extracellular ATP (InATP and ExATP). The F1F0-ATP synthase β subunit (ATP5B) expression in various skin tissues and confluence-dependent HaCaT differentiation models was detected. ATP5B expression increased with keratinocyte and HaCaT cell differentiation in normal skin, some epidermis hyper-proliferative diseases, squamous cell carcinoma, and the HaCaT cell differentiation model. The impact of InATP and ExATP content on HaCaT differentiation was reflected by the expression of the differentiation marker involucrin. Inhibition of F1F0-ATP synthase blocked HaCaT cell differentiation, which was associated with a decrease of InATP content, but not with changes of ExATP. Our results revealed that F1F0-ATP synthase expression is associated with the process of keratinocyte differentiation which may possibly be related to InATP synthesis.
F1F0-ATP 合酶是一种酶复合物,主要位于线粒体内膜或有时质膜上,以产生或水解 ATP,在细胞增殖中发挥作用。本研究重点研究了 F1F0-ATP 合酶在角质形成细胞分化中的作用及其与细胞内和细胞外 ATP(InATP 和 ExATP)的关系。检测了各种皮肤组织和汇合依赖性 HaCaT 分化模型中 F1F0-ATP 合酶β亚基(ATP5B)的表达。在正常皮肤、某些表皮过度增殖性疾病、鳞状细胞癌和 HaCaT 细胞分化模型中,随着角质形成细胞和 HaCaT 细胞分化,ATP5B 的表达增加。通过表皮蛋白的表达反映了 InATP 和 ExATP 含量对 HaCaT 分化的影响。F1F0-ATP 合酶的抑制阻断了 HaCaT 细胞的分化,这与 InATP 含量的降低有关,但与 ExATP 的变化无关。我们的结果表明,F1F0-ATP 合酶的表达与角质形成细胞分化过程有关,这可能与 InATP 的合成有关。
