TRPC1在TGF-β1诱导支气管上皮细胞迁移中的作用

 目的: 探究经典瞬时受体电位通道1(TRPC1)在转化生长因子β1(TGF-β1)诱导人支气管上皮细胞(16HBE)迁移中的作用。方法: siRNA沉默TRPC1; CCK-8法和流式细胞术分别检测细胞活力和凋亡; 细胞划痕和Transwell小室实验检测细胞的迁移和侵袭。Western blot检测E-钙黏蛋白和vimentin的蛋白表达。结果: TGF-β1刺激细胞后,TGF-β1组细胞的迁移距离大于对照组(P < 0.01)。TGF-β1组和TRPC1沉默组的细胞活力和凋亡与对照组相比差异不显著;与TGF-β1组细胞比较,siRNA和 TGF-β1 共同作用组迁移能力明显降低(P < 0.01)。与 TGF-β1 组相比,siRNA沉默TRPC1和 TGF-β1 共同作用组E-钙黏蛋白的蛋白表达明显降低(P < 0.05),而vimentin的蛋白表达明显增强(P < 0.05)。结论: TRPC1通过调节E-钙黏蛋白和vimentin 的蛋白表达参与了TGF-β1诱导人支气管上皮细胞迁移的过程。

Effects of TRPC1 on TGF-β1-induced migration of human bronchial epithelial cells

AIM: To investigate the role of canonical transient receptor potential channel 1 (TRPC1) in the migration of human bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE) induced by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). METHODS: Silencing of TRPC1 gene expression was performed by siRNA. The cell activity and apoptosis were measured by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The migration and invasion abilities of the 16HBE cells were detected by wound- healing assay and Transwell assay. The protein expression of E-cadherin and vimentin was determined by Western blot. RESULTS: TGF-β1 treatment significantly enhanced the cell migration distance compared with control groups (P < 0.01). The results of CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry indicated that there were no significant difference in proliferation and apoptosis among TRPC1 siRNA group, TGF-β1 group and control group (P > 0.05). The results of wound-healing and Transwell assays showed that migration and invasion abilities in TRPC1 siRNA + TGF-β1 group were markedly suppressed compared with TGF-β1 group (P < 0.01). The protein expression of E-cadherin and vimentin induced by TGF-β1 was inhibited by TRPC1 silencing compared with TGF-β1 group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: TRPC1 is involved in the migration of human bronchial epithelial cells induced by TGF-β1 through regulating the protein expression of E-cadherin and vimentin.
