摘要
目的 探讨内生多肽Elafin调节气道黏液高分泌的分子机制.方法 构建人 Elafin 重组质粒,原代培养正常人支气管上皮细胞 HBE16,分为对照组、香烟抽提物(CSE)刺激组、CSE 刺激+转染重组质粒、CSE 刺激+空质粒组、单纯转染重组质粒以及空质粒组6组.四甲基偶氮唑盐法检测各组细胞活力,Western blot法检测p-JNK、p-ERK、p-P38和IκBα蛋白含量,荧光素酶报告基因系统测定激活蛋白-1(AP-1)及核转录因子-κB(NF-κB)活性,RT-PCR检测各组黏蛋白(MUC)5AC mRNA 表达水平,ELISA 法分析各组细胞 MUC5AC 蛋白的相对含量.结果 CSE刺激组的p-JNK、p-ERK、p-c-Jun、IκBα、AP-1、NF-κB、MUC5AC和MUC5AC mRNA 含量分别为(0.55±0.03)μg/mg、(0.64±0.06)μg/mg、(0.60±0.07)μg/mg、(0.27±0.03)μg/mg、7.49±0.31、4.42±0.22、(0.71±0.04)mg/L和0.81±0.04,与对照组的(0.26±0.02)μg/mg、(0.30±0.05)μg/mg、(0.19±0.04)μg/mg(0.61±0.04)μg/mg、2.54±0.22、2.37±0.16、(0.23±0.02)mg/L和0.32±0.03比较差异有统计学意义(均P<0.05).转染重组Elafin后再给予CSE刺激,p-JNK、p-ERK、p-c-Jun、IκBα、AP-1、NF-κB、MUC5AC和MUC5AC mRNA含量分别为(0.38±0.04)μg/mg、(0.31±0.04)μg/mg、(0.14±0.03)μg/mg、(0.54±0.03)μg/mg、2.60±0.19、2.55±0.21、(0.28±0.03)mg/L、0.35±0.05,与CSE组相比差异有统计学意义(均P<0.05);p-P38蛋白含量在CSE刺激及转染Elafin前后无明显变化.结论 内生多肽Elafin可降低JNK和ERK磷酸化水平并抑制IκBα蛋白降解,从而降低转录激活蛋白-1和核因子-κB的活性,下调黏蛋白5AC的高表达,而p38MAPK在其中的作用并不明显.
Objective To explore the effects of endogeny polypeptide elafin on mucin (MUC)5AC overexpression. Methods Eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-N1-Elafin was constructed. HBE16 cells were cultured and divided into 6 groups:a control group, a cigarette smoke extract (CSE) stimulated group,a CSE and Elafin transfected group, a CSE and pEGFP-N1 transfected group, a single elafin transfected group, and a single pEGFP-N1 transfected group. After 24 h, the protein levels of phosphorylation Jun Nterminal kinase (p-JNK), phosphorylation extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK), p-P38 and inhibitor of NF-κB (IκB) α were detected by Western blot. The transcription activities of activiator protein-1(AP-1) and nuclear factorκB (NF-κB) were detected by luciferase reporter gene detection system. The levels of MUC5AC protein and mRNA were detected by ELISA and RT-PCR. Results In CSE group, there was a significant increase of MUC5AC protein (0. 71 ±0. 04) mg/L and mRNA expression (0. 81 ±0. 04),with elevation of p-JNK production ( 0. 55 ± 0. 03 ) μg/mg, p-ERK production (0. 64 ± 0. 06) μg/mg, p-c-Jun production (0. 60 ±0. 07) μg/mg, AP-1 activity (7. 49 ±0. 31 ) and NF-κB activity (4. 42±0. 22), all significantly higher than those in the control group ( t = 4. 50-14. 28, P 〈 0. 01 ), and IκBα protein production was (0. 27 ± 0. 03 ) mg/L, significantly lower than that in the control group ( t = 6. 82, P =0. 008). Transfected recombinant elafin reduced MUC5AC protein (0. 71 ± 0. 04) mg/L and mRNA level (0. 81 ± 0. 04 ), decreased p-JNK (0. 38 ± 0. 04 ) μg/mg and p-ERK (0. 31 ± 0. 04 ) μg/mg production,inhibited AP-1 activity (2.60 ± 0. 19) and NF-κB activity (2. 55 ± 0. 21 ), but increased IκBα protein (0. 54 ± 0. 03 ) μg/mg, compared with single CSE-stimulated group ( all P 〈 0. 05 ). p-P38 showed no significant change after CSE stimulation or transfection of elafin. Conclusion Endogeny polypeptide elafin may down-regulate MUC5AC overexpression, and this is through the inhibition of AP-1 and NF-κB activation via effects on mitogen-activated protein kinases and IκB pathway by Elafin.
