Epithelial-mesenchymal transition of intrahepatic biliary epithelial cells
Objective To observe the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)of human intrahepatic biliary epithelial cells (HIBEpiC) and to study its role in bile duct fibrosis and its molecular mechanism. Methods Expressions of E-cadherin
S100A4
α-SMA
and EMT signal-related TGF-β1 in HIBEpiC were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting 48 and 72 h after treatment of HIBEpiC with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The effect of TGF-β1 was blocked with paclitaxel and siRNA smad2/3. The role of TGF-β1/ smad2/3 signal pathway in the occurrence of EMT in HIBEpiC was studied. Results The expression of TGF-β1 mRNA reached its peak and began to decrease 48 and 72 h
respectively
after treatment of HIBEpiC with LPS
and still maintained a rather high level (P0.01
0.05). The expression level of EMT marker
E-cadherin mRNA and TGF-β1 decreased with the prolongation of culture time ( P0.01) while the expression of S100A4
α-SMA mRNA and TGF-β1 significantly increased (P0.01,0.05)
suggesting that paclitaxel can down-regulate the LPS-induced expression of TGF-β1
Smad2 and Smad3 mRNA. siRNA could also down-regulate the LPS-induced expression of Smad2/3 mRNA
S100A4
α-SMA and TGF-β1 while up-regulate the expression of E-cadherin and TGF-β1 in HIBEpiC (P0.01)
indicating that EMT can be reversed. Conclusion LPS can induce expression of TGF-β1 in HIBEpiC
resulting in EMT in biliary epithelial cells
and reverse EMT by inhibiting TGF-β1 or Smad2/3
which may be a potential target for the prevention and treatment of biliary fibrosis.
