Influences of methyl-β-cyclodextrin-caused caveolae destruction on TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway and on proliferation of type II alveolar epithelial cells
Objective To study the influences of methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD)-caused caveolae destruction on proliferation of type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells (AECs Ⅱ) and on TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway in AECs Ⅱ. Methods Rat AECs Ⅱ were isolated through enzyme digestion
and then i
dentified through immunofluorescence assay. The distribution of caveolin-1 (a caveolae-specific protein) and type I TGF-β receptor (TβR-Ⅰ) in AECs Ⅱ cell membranes was analyzed with double-labeling immunofluorescence assay and confocal laser scanning microscopy. AECs Ⅱ were divided into a treatment group and a control group. MβCD (5 mmol/L in DMEM) was added into the treatment group to destroy caveolae of AECs Ⅱ
while DMEM was added into the control group. Lipid rafts were extracted from AECs Ⅱ by nonionic detergent method
and the distribution of caveolin-1 and TβR-Ⅰ in cell membranes of treated AECs Ⅱ was analyzed through SDS-PAGE. The expression of caveolin-1 and phosphorylated Smad2 (pSmad2
a downstream molecule of TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway) in AECs Ⅱ was analyzed through Western blotting. The proliferation rate of AECs Ⅱ was analyzed through methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium method. Results The double-labeling immunofluorescence assay and lipid raft extraction showed that TβR-Ⅰ was mainly distributed in caveolae of cell membrane and
after MβCD treatment
was re-distributed in non-raft domains. The expression of caveolin-1 in AECs Ⅱ of the treatment group was significantly lower than that of the control group [(24.53±3.24)%
vs
(54.83±5.67)%

. The expression of pSmad2 in AECs Ⅱ of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group [(10.93±1.11)%
vs
(8.36±0.64)%

. The proliferation rate of AECs Ⅱ of the treatment group is significantly lower than that of the control group (31.00±4.18)%
vs
(49.20±4.44)%
P
<
0.01). Conclusion MβCD-caused caveolae destruction can inhibit the proliferation of AECs Ⅱ
probably through a mechanism of enhancing TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway with TβR-Ⅰ accumulation in non-raft domains and caveolin-1 downregulation.
