Résumé

This study is to investigate the effect of artesunate on transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its possible mechanism. After the in vitro cultured RLE-6TN cells were treated with TGF-beta1 then artesunate intervened on it, after 24 h, expression of the markers of mesenchymal cell was assayed using Western blotting and real-time PCR analysis. Western blotting was also used to detect the effect of TGF-beta1 on the Smad3 and Smad7 expressions of RLE-6TN cells. Morphological alterations were examined by phase-contrast microscope, and ultrastructure changes by electron microscope. Incubation of RLE-6TN cells with TGF-beta1 resulted in the up-regulation of the expression of the mesenchymal cell markers, after artesunate intervened on it, resulted in the down-regulation of the expression. Meanwhile, incubation with artesunate intervened on RLE-6TN cells could lead to the apparent down-regulation of the expression of Smad3 and up-regulation of Samd7 and the transition of RLE-6TN cells to mesenchymal-like by TGF-beta1 induction, after artesunate intervened on it, RLE-6TN cells to epithelial-like. TGF-beta1 induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition process; artesunate can inhibit TGF-beta1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition process, the possible mechanism is up-regulation of the expression of Smad7 and down-regulation of the expression of Smad3, meanwhile inhibits phosphorylation of Smad3.

Résumé

BACKGROUND: Artesunate can relieve pulmonary fibrosis, but its mechanisms are rarely reported.OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of artesunate on apoptosis of HFL-I cells and the role of Fas, FasL and Caspase-3 in the artesunate-mediated apoptosis of HFL-I cells. METHODS: Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to determine the effects of artesunate at 1, 10, 100 mg/L on the growth of HFL-I cells in vitro. Apoptosis ratio was examined by flow cytometry (FCM). The mRNA level of Fas, FasL and Caspase-3, were assessed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Artesunate had a significantly inhibitory effect on the proliferation of HFL-I cells in a dose-dependent manner in vitro. The apoptosis rate of HFL-I cells was significantly increased in the artesunate-treated group compared with the control group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). The mRNA levels of Fas, FasL and Caspase-3 were significantly higher in the artesunate-treated group than the control group (P < 0.05). The findings of this study demonstrate that artesunate can exert a marked anti-pulmonary fibrosis effect by up-regulating mRNA levels of Fas, FasL and Caspase-3, which can induce the growth inhibition and apoptosis in HFL-I cells.
