摘要
背景肝纤维化是多种慢性肝病的共同病理改变。在肝纤维化过程中,转化生长因子-β1(TGF-β1)高度表达,诱导肝星状细胞(HSC)活化并促进纤维化的进展。NLRC5作为最主要的核苷酸结合寡聚化结构域NOD样受体(NLRs)家族成员,是炎症途径中的重要负性调节因子。有证据表明,NLRC5是肝纤维化及其逆转的关键调节因子,可以通过调节炎症信号和肝纤维化反应参与肝纤维化的发展及逆转。目的探讨NLRC5在TGF-β1诱导的HSC活化及逆转中的作用,并分析其与肝纤维化的关系。方法2018年3—7月选取24只8周龄雄性C57BL/6小鼠(体质量15~20 g),根据随机数字表法分为实验组、正常对照组和逆转组,每组8只。实验组和逆转组建立肝纤维化模型,然后处死小鼠,进行HE、Masson染色和α平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)免疫组化,观察各组肝纤维化程度;检测小鼠肝组织NLRC5及其mRNA、磷酸化抑制蛋白αIκBα(P-IκBα)、IκBα、胞质p65、核p65水平。体外培养LX-2细胞,将培养的细胞分为对照组、TGF-β1组及TGF-β1+MDI组;检测各组LX-2细胞中α平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)、Ⅰ型胶原α1(Col1α1)及其mRNA水平,NLRC5及其mRNA水平。siRNA干扰NLRC5后,将激活的LX-2细胞分为NLRC5-siRNA组、Control-siRNA组及正常细胞组,检测NLRC5及其mRNA、α-SMA、Col1α1、P-IκBα、IκBα、胞质p65、核p65。结果HE染色结果显示正常对照组肝细胞索排列整齐,无坏死变性、炎性细胞浸润现象;实验组小鼠肝组织存在点状坏死和再生现象,可见脂肪变性、气球样变性;逆转组可见肝脏恢复红润,结构趋于正常。Masson染色结果显示与正常对照组相比,实验组小鼠镜下可见大量蓝色胶原纤维;而逆转组胶原纤维增生相比实验组有一定程度的改善。实验组小鼠肝组织中α-SMA阳性细胞比例高于正常对照组和逆转组(P<0.05)。实验组小鼠肝组织中NLRC5、NLRC5 mRNA水平高于正常对照组、逆转组(P<0
Background Liver fibrosis is a pathological change common to various chronic liver diseases.During this process,transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)is significantly increased,which induces the activation of hepatic stellate cells(HSC),promoting process of liver fibrosis.NLRC5,the largest member of NLR family,is an important negative regulator of inflammatory pathway.There is evidence that NLRC5 plays a key role in the development and reversal of liver fibrosis by regulating inflammatory signals and liver fibrosis response.Objective To investigate the role of NLRC5 in the activation of HSCs induced by TGF-β1 and the reversal of liver fibrosis.Methods The experiment was implemented from March to July 2018.A total of 248-week-old male C57BL/6 mice(body weight 15-20 g)were selected and equally divided into experimental group,normal control group and reversal group using a table of random numbers.After the liver fibrosis model was established in experimental and reversal groups,the mice in all groups were sacrificed,and liver tissues were taken out for measuring liver histological changes with HE staining,Masson trichrome staining andα-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)immunohistochemistry,respectively.NLRC5 and its mRNA,phosphorylated inhibitor proteinαIκBα(P-IκBα),IκBα,cytoplasmic p65 and nuclear p65 were detected.LX-2 cells were cultured in vitro and were divided into control group,TGF-β1 group and TGF-β1+MDI group.The levels ofα-SMA,Col1α1 and Col1α1 mRNA,and NLRC5 and NLRC5 mRNA in LX-2 cells were detected.After being treated with siRNA,activated LX-2 cells were divided into NLRC5-siRNA group,control-siRNA group and normal cell group.NLRC5 and its mRNA,α-SMA,Col1α1,P-IκBα,IκBα,cytoplasmic and nuclear p65 were detected.Results The detection using HE staining showed that in the normal control group,hepatic cell cords were neat and orderly,without necrotic degeneration and inflammatory cell infiltration,but in the experimental group,potty necrosis,regeneration,steatosis and ballooning degeneration oc
