6-desulfated heparin inhibits heparan sulfate shedding and epithelial cell damage during bleomycin induced pulmonary injury / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Aim To study the effect of different hepa- ry.Methods First, heparin derivatives with different rin sulfation patterns on bleomycin induced lung inju- sulfation patterns,6-desulfated heparin (6-DeH) and N-acetvlated heparin ( N-AcH ) , were synthesized.Secondly, the effect of these compounds on BLM-in¬duced bronchial epithelial cell ( BEARS-2B) injury was evaluated via lactate dehydrogenase activity, MTT experiment, Annexin V/ PI staining and Hoechst 33258 staining.Then , immunofluorescence staining and West¬ern blotting were used to investigate the shedding of Svndecan-1 and the activation of c-Met by 6-DeH/Akt j j signaling pathway.Finally, a BLM-induced lung injury mouse model was used to further verify the protective effect of 6-DeH by HE staining, Svndecan-1 immunos- taining,bodv weight change,and survival rate.Results In the BLM-induced BEARS-2B injury model, 6- DeH was selected as the best candidate, which exerted their effect by competitively binding to BLM, thereby reducing the damage of heparan sulfate barrier (Svnde- can-1 ) on cell surface, and improving cell survival by activating the downstream c-Met/Akt pathway.In the BLM-induced lung injury mouse model, it was further confirmed that 6-DeH reduced the shedding of Svnde- can-1 in the early stage, and delayed the lung injury and fibrosis process.Conclusions 6-DeH protects the bronchial epithelial cells against BLM-induced lung in¬jur)' through inhibiting the shedding of Svndecan-1 and activating the c-Met/Akt signaling pathway.
