Effect of Tetrandrine on Col-I and FN in TGF-β1-induced MRC-5 Cells
To investigate the effect of tetrandrine on transforming growth factor-
β
1
(TGF-
β
1
)stimulated MRC-5 cells.
Method
2
Different concentrations of TGF-
β
1
(0
2.5
5
10
20
40 μg·L
-1
) were applied to MRC-5 cells. Proliferation toxicity of TGF-
β
1
to MRC-5 was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method. Detection of alpha smooth muscle actin (
α
-SMA) and Vimentin's expression levels in MRC-5 by Western blot. Detection of changes of collagen I(Col-I) and fibronectin (FN)'s expression levels in MRC-5 supernatants by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) kit. And the appropriate concentration of TGF-
β
1
activated MRC-5 cells was screened. The appropriate concentration of TGF-
β
1
and different concentrations of Tet (0
2.5
5
10
20
40 μmol·L
-1
) were applied to MRC-5 cells
and CCK-8 method was used to screen safe concentration again. Western blot was used to detect changes in
α
-SMA and Vimentin expression levels in MRC-5 cells
and ELISA method to detect changes in Col-I and FN in MRC-5 cell supernatant.
Result
2
Compared with the blank group
20,40 μg·L
-1
of TGF-
β
1
had toxic effects on MRC-5 cells at 24 hours (
P
<
0.05)
and 10,20,40 μg·L
-1
of TGF-
β
1
had toxic effects on MRC-5 cells at 48 h (
P
<
0.05).When Tet is added for 24 h
the half inhibitory concentration (IC
50
) value was 14.07 μmol·L
-1
and when cultured for 48 h
the IC
50
value was 7.51 μmol·L
-1
. Compared with the blank group
the relative contents of
α
-SMA
FN and Col-I in the 5 μg·L
-1
of TGF-
β
1
group were obviously increased (
P
<
0.05)
and the relative contents of Vimentin were significantly increased (
P
<
0.01)
and the relative contents of FN and Col-I
α
-SMA and Vimentin in 10 μg·L
-1
group were significantly increased (
P
<
0.01). 10 μg·L
-1
of TGF-
β
1
was co-cultured with Tet at different concentrations. Compared with the TGF-
β
1
group
the relative levels of
α
-SMA
Vimentin and FN in the 5 μmol·L
-1
of Tet group were significantly reduced (
P
<
0.01)
and the relative levels of Col-I were obviously reduced (
P
<
0.05). In the Tet 10 μmol·L
-1
group
the relative contents of the
α
-SMA
Vimentin
FN and Col-I were significantly reduced (
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion
2
TGF-
β
1
can increase the levels of Col-I
FN and other extracellular matrices in MRC-5 cells
and Tet can effectively inhibit the occurrence of this change. It is suggested that Tet may inhibit secreting extracellular matrix of fibroblasts in the formation of pulmonary fibrosis.
