摘要: 目的 观察黄芪甲苷(AS-Ⅳ)对TGF-β1诱导人腹膜间皮细胞HMrSV5 EMT及β-catenin的影响,探讨Akt信号通路的作用及AS-Ⅳ干预机制。方法 采用TGF-β1诱导建立HMrSV5 EMT模型,Western blot检测不同浓度TGF-β1对EMT标记蛋白、β-catenin及Akt信号蛋白的影响;予不同浓度AS-Ⅳ干预HMrSV5 EMT模型,Real-time PCR检测EMT相关基因及β-catenin mRNA水平,Western blot检测Akt信号蛋白表达;与Akt通路抑制剂MK2206、雷帕霉素及激动剂Insulin作对照,观察AS-Ⅳ干预HMrSV5 EMT指标及β-catenin蛋白的变化。结果 ①TGF-β1诱导HMrSV5细胞发生EMT、上调β-catenin水平,激活Akt信号通路;②AS-Ⅳ能不同程度改善TGF-β1诱导的HMrSV5 EMT、降解β-catenin,并在一定程度上抑制Akt信号通路活化;③Akt通路参与调控HMrSV5 EMT及β-catenin,其抑制剂MK2206、雷帕霉素的调控作用与AS-Ⅳ类似;④Akt通路激动剂Insulin明显减弱AS-Ⅳ对EMT及β-catenin的抑制效果。结论 TGF-β1可诱导HMrSV5 EMT,上调β-catenin,AS-Ⅳ可能通过抑制Akt信号通路活化,阻抑HMrSV5 EMT,降解β-catenin。Abstract: OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of Astragaloside Ⅳ (AS-Ⅳ) on EMT of human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs) HMrSV5, exploring the function of Akt signaling and regulatory mechanism of AS-Ⅳ. METHODS We used TGF-β1 to establish EMT model of HMrSV5. EMT marker proteins, β-catenin and Akt signaling-related proteins were detected by Western blotting analysis. β-catenin and EMT-related mRNA were expressed by Real-time PCR analysis. Compared with MK2206, Rapamycin and Insulin, the effect of AS-Ⅳ on EMT and β-catenin was observed by Western blotting. RESULTS ①The EMT model of HMrSV5 was established by TGF-β1. TGF-β1 increased β-catenin expression and activated Akt signaling. ②AS-Ⅳ could alleviate TGF-β1-treated EMT of HMrSV5, decrease β-catenin expression, as well as inhibit activation of Akt signaling. ③EMT of HMrSV5 and β-catenin were regulated by Akt signaling, MK2206 and Rapamycin had the similar effect with AS-Ⅳ. ④Insulin could reduce obviously inhibitory effect on EMT and β-catenin of AS-Ⅳ. CONCLUSION TGF-β1 can induce EMT of HMrSV5 and upregulate β-catenin, AS-Ⅳ has inhibitory effect on EMT and β-catenin of HMrSV5 by regulating Akt signaling.
