目的:探讨表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)在肺内的表达对博莱霉素(BLM)诱导小鼠肺纤维化中上皮- 间质转分化的影响。方
法:将40 只4~6 周龄C57BLB/c 雄性小鼠随机分为正常对照组(气管滴入PBS),纤维化组(气管滴入BLM 3 mg/kg),EGFR
RNAi 组(气管滴入BLM 3 mg/kg + 气管滴入siRNA 20μl)和RNAi 阴性对照组(气管滴入BLM 3 mg/kg + 气管滴入siRNA 阴性
对照20μl)。实验第10 天处死小鼠,收获肺组织,检测羟脯氨酸含量;采用逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)法检测EGFR 和α 平
滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)mRNA 的表达;肺组织切片行HE 染色观察肺组织病理改变,免疫组化染色检测EGFR 和α-SMA 表达。
结果:纤维化组EGFR 和α-SMA 两者的mRNA 和蛋白表达均较正常对照组显著增加;RNAi 组肺病理损伤较纤维化组减轻,气
道上皮下胶原沉积及肺羟脯氨酸含量减少(P<0.05),肺组织EGFR 和α-SMA 两者的mRNA 和蛋白表达均较纤维化组显著下降
(P<0.05)。结论:在博来霉素诱导的肺纤维化中EGFR RNAi 抑制EGFR 活化,下调α-SMA 的表达,减轻了博莱霉素诱导的肺纤维
化病理改变。其抑制肺纤维化病理过程可能与其抑制上皮- 间质转分化(EMT)有关。 |

Objective: To investigate the effect of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression on epithelial to
mesenchymal transition (EMT)in bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice. Methods: Forty 4~6 week aged C57BL/c male mice
were randomly divided into control group, bleomycin group, bleomycin plus EGFR RNAi groups and RNAi negative control group.
Bleomycin group were treated with bleomycin (3 mg/ kg) by injection on day 0, control group were treated with PBS. And bleomycin
plus EGFR RNAi group were received EGRF siRNA plus bleomycin intratracheal administration. RNAi negative control group were
received negative EGRF siRNA plus bleomycin intratracheal administration. Mice were sacrificed 10 days after the treatments.
Hydroxyproline (HYP) assay was performed in the lung tissue. And α-SMA and EGFR mRNA expression were detected by reverse
transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique1. The lung tissue slides were examined pathologically with HE staining, and
immunohistochemistry were performed to identify the protein level of EGFR and α-SMA. Results: The mRNA and protein expression of
EGFR and α-SMA in BLM group were significantly increased as compared with control group. Histological examination of lung
specimens demonstrated that EGFR siRNA administration lessened lung fibrosis induced by bleomycin and significantly reduced HYP
content (P< 0.05) and lung collagen accumulation. The both EGFR and α-SMA mRNA and protein expression in siRNA-treated mice
was significantly lessen compared with BLM group (P< 0.05). Conclusions: EGFR RNAi lessened the BLM-induced lung fibrosis by
inhabiting EGFR expression and this process also downregulated the expression of α-SMA. The inhibition of pulmonary fibrosis may be
related to lighten the process of EMT. |
