We investigated the effects of bFGF and TGF-beta on the expression of type XVI collagen, a member of the fibril associated collagen family, in human dermal fibroblasts and arterial smooth muscle cells. We found that bFGF decreased the alpha1(XVI) collagen mRNA to 18-24% of the controls, while TGF-beta increased the mRNA to 150-360%. Immunoprecipitation of metabolically labeled cells revealed corresponding, but less pronounced, changes at the protein levels. The results suggested that type XVI collagen expression is regulated by bFGF and TGF-beta in a manner similar to their regulation of the major type I fibrillar collagen produced by these cells.
我们研究了碱性成纤维细胞生长因子(bFGF)和转化生长因子-β(TGF-β)对人皮肤成纤维细胞和动脉平滑肌细胞中ⅩⅥ型胶原蛋白(原纤维相关胶原蛋白家族的一员)表达的影响。我们发现,bFGF可使α1(ⅩⅥ)胶原蛋白mRNA降至对照组的18%-24%,而TGF-β可使该mRNA增加至150%-360%。对代谢标记细胞进行免疫沉淀显示,蛋白质水平上有相应但不太明显的变化。结果表明,ⅩⅥ型胶原蛋白的表达受bFGF和TGF-β的调控,其调控方式类似于它们对这些细胞产生的主要Ⅰ型纤维状胶原蛋白的调控。
