ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) plays a key role in lung fibrosis. However, the mole?cular mechanisms involved in TGF-beta1-induced lung fibrosis are unclear. TGF-beta1 is the key inducer of myofibroblast transdifferentiation via de novo synthesis of alphasmooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA). Since TGF-beta1 signals through reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ROS have been shown to induce accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) in various tissues, this study examined if ROS play a role in TGF-beta1-induced fibronectin secretion and alpha-SMA expression in human lung fibroblasts, MRC-5 cells.METHODS:
Growth arrested and synchronized MRC-5 cells were stimulated with TGF-beta1 (0.2-10 ng/ml) in the presence or absence of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) or diphenyleneiodonium (DPI) for up to 96 hours. Dichlorofluorescein (DCF)- sensitive cellular ROS were measured by FACScan and secreted fibronectin and cellular alpha-SMA by Western blot analysis.RESULTS:
TGF-beta1 increased the level of fibronectin secretion and alpha-SMA expression in MRC-5 cells in a dose- dependent manner. Both NAC (20 and 30 mM) and DPI (1 and 5 microM significantly inhibited TGF-beta1-induced fibronectin and alpha-SMA upregulation. The TGF-beta1-induced cellular ROS level was also significantly reduced by NAC and DPI.CONCLUSIONS:
The results suggest that NADPH oxidase-dependent ROS play an important role in TGF-beta1-induced fibronectin secretion and alpha-SMA expression in MRC-5 cells, which leads to myofibroblast transdifferentiation and progressive lung fibrosis.
