摘要 目的:探究miR-101a在乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)相关性肝纤维化患者中的表达及对肝星状细胞(HSC)的影响。方法:根据肝纤维化程度将HBV相关性肝纤维化患者进行分组(S0组、S1组、S2组、S3组和S4组),健康受试者作为健康对照组。通过RT-PCR检测肺组织中miR-101a的表达,并分析miR-101a与疾病严重程度的关系。使用重组人TGF-β1处理人肝星状细胞系LX-2,并对LX-2细胞转染阴性对照 miRNA模拟物(NC-mimic组)、miR-101a模拟物(miR-101a-mimic组)、阴性对照 miRNA抑制剂(NC-inhibitor组)或miR-101a抑制剂(miR-101a-inhibitor组),未转染的细胞作为对照组,然后通过RT-PCR或蛋白质印迹检测激活HSC及ECM产生的关键基因(α-SMA、COL1A1、COL1A2和COL3A1)和蛋白(a-SMA、collagen I和collagen III)的表达水平。将SD大鼠随机分为4组:对照组、CCl4组、Ad-control组和Ad-miR-101a组,对大鼠腹腔注射CCl4(1 mL/kg体重)诱导肝纤维化模型,每周3次,共4周。然后将5×109感染单位的携带miR-101a的重组腺病毒(Ad-miR-101a)或对照腺病毒(Ad-control)经尾静脉注射到大鼠中。4周后,通过苏木精和伊红(H&E)和Masson三色染色评估肝脏形态和纤维化,通过免疫组化染色评估肝脏α-SMA、E-cadherin、vimentin、Smad4或p-Smad2/3的表达。结果:与健康受试者相比,HBV相关肝纤维化患者肝组织中miR-101a的表达水平明显降低,并且miR-101a的表达水平随着患者的严重程度升高而降低(P<0.05)。与未处理的细胞相比,miR-101a在TGF-β1处理的LX-2细胞中以浓度和时间依赖性方式显著下降(P<0.05)。与未处理的细胞相比,5 ng/mL TGF-β1处理LX-2细胞中的α-SMA、COL1A1、COL1A2和COL3A1 mRNA表达水平及a-SMA、collagen I和collagen III 蛋白表达水平均显著升高(P<0.05)。与对照组相比,miR-101a-mimic组的α-SMA、COL1A1、COL1A2、COL3A1和TGF-β1 mRNA和a-SMA、collagen I、collagen III、TGF-β1、Smad3和p-Smad3蛋白表达均下调(P<0.05)。与对照组相比,Ad-miR-101a组大鼠肝组织中E-cadherin的表达上调,但α-SMA、vimentin、Smad4和p-Smad2/3的表达下调(P<0.05);Ad-miR-101a组大鼠的肝组织形态基本恢复正常,肝组织纤维化程度低于CCl4组。结论:miR-101a水平与乙型肝炎病毒相关性肝纤维化严重程度相关,上调miR-101a可能通过抑制HSC的活化及上皮间质转化发挥抗纤维化作用。 |

ABSTRACT Objective: To reveal the expression of miR-101a in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) -related liver fibrosis and its effect on hepatic stellate cells (HSC). Methods: According to the degree of liver fibrosis, patients with HBV-related liver fibrosis were divided into S0 group, S1 group, S2 group, S3 group and S4 group, and healthy subjects were taken as healthy control group. The expression of miR-101a in the lung tissue of patients with HBV-related liver fibrosis was detected by RT-PCR, and the relationship between miR-101a and disease severity was analyzed. Human hepatic stellate cell line LX-2 was treated with recombinant human TGF-β1 and transfected with negative control miRNA mimics (NC-mimic group), miR-101a mimics (miR-101a-mimic group), negative control miRNA inhibitors(NC-inhibitor group) or miR-101a inhibitors(miR-101a-inhibitor group). Untransfected cells served as control groups. Then the expression levels of key genes (α-SMA, COL1A1, COL1A2 and COL3A1) and proteins (a-SMA, collagen I and collagen III) that activated HSC and ECM were detected by RT-PCR or Western blot. The SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group, CCl4 group, Ad-control group and Ad-miR-101a group. Rats were intraperitoneally injected with CCl4 (1 mL/kg body weight) to induce liver fibrosis model, 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Then, 5×109 infected units of recombinant adenovirus carrying miR-101a (Ad-miR-101a) or control adenovirus (Ad-control) were injected into rats via tail vein. After 4 weeks, liver morphology and fibrosis were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin(H & E) and Masson trichrome staining, and liver α-SMA, E-cadherin, vimentin, Smad4 or p-Smad2/3 were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining expression. Results: Compared with healthy subjects, the expression level of miR-101a in liver tissues of patients with HBV-related liver fibrosis was significantly decreased, and the expression level of miR-101a decreased with the increase of patient severity(P<0.05). Compared with untreated cells, miR-101a decreased significantly in LX-2 cells treated with TGF-β1 in a concentration-and time-dependent manner(P<0.05). Compared with untreated cells, the expression of α-SMA, COL1A1, COL1A2 and COL3A1 mRNAs and a-SMA, collagen I and collagen III proteins in LX-2 cells treated with 5 ng/mL TGF- β1 were significantly increased(P<0.05). Compared with control group, the expressions of α-SMA, COL1A1, COL1A2, COL3A1 and TGF- β1 mRNA and a-SMA, collagen I, collagen III, TGF- β1, Smad3 and p-Smad3 proteins in miR-101a-mimic group were all down-regulated. Compared with control group, the expression of E-cadherin in Ad-miR-101a group was up-regulated, but the expression of α-SMA, vimentin, Smad4 and p-Smad2/3 was down-regulated. The liver tissue morphology of rats in the Ad-miR-101a group returned to normal, and the degree of liver fibrosis was lower than that of the CCl4 group. Conclusion: The level of miR-101a is related to the severity of hepatitis B virus-related liver fibrosis. Up-regulation of miR-101a may play an anti-fibrotic effect by inhibiting the activation of HSC and epithelial-mesenchymal transformation. |
