Hepatic fibrosis occurs when liver tissue becomes scarred from repetitive liver injury and inflammatory responses; it can progress to cirrhosis and eventually to hepatocellular carcinoma. Previously, we reported that neoagarooligosaccharides (NAOs), produced by the hydrolysis of agar by β-agarases, have hepatoprotective effects against acetaminophen overdose-induced acute liver injury. However, the effect of NAOs on chronic liver injury, including hepatic fibrosis, has not yet been elucidated. Therefore, we examined whether NAOs protect against fibrogenesis in vitro and in vivo. NAOs ameliorated PAI-1, α-SMA, CTGF and fibronectin protein expression and decreased mRNA levels of fibrogenic genes in TGF-β-treated LX-2 cells. Furthermore, downstream of TGF-β, the Smad signaling pathway was inhibited by NAOs in LX-2 cells. Treatment with NAOs diminished the severity of hepatic injury, as evidenced by reduction in serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels, in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver fibrosis mouse models. Moreover, NAOs markedly blocked histopathological changes and collagen accumulation, as shown by H&E and Sirius red staining, respectively. Finally, NAOs antagonized the CCl4-induced upregulation of the protein and mRNA levels of fibrogenic genes in the liver. In conclusion, our findings suggest that NAOs may be a promising candidate for the prevention and treatment of chronic liver injury via inhibition of the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway. 相似文献

目的研究Quercetin对结肠癌LOVO细胞株TGF-β1/smad3/c-myc信号通路的影响,并探讨其抑制LOVO细胞增殖的可能机制。方法采用5、10、20、40、80、160μmol/L的Quercetin处理结肠癌LOVO细胞48 h,以未经Quercetin处理的LOVO细胞作为对照组,采用MTT法检测Quercetin对细胞增殖活力的影响。以5 ng/ml的TGF-β1刺激1周的LOVO细胞为细胞模型,设对照组(C组)、TGF-β1组(T组)、TGF-β1+Quercetin组(TQ组)、Quercetin组(Q组)。C组为正常的LOVO细胞;T组为用5 ng/ml的TGF-β1刺激1周的LOVO细胞;TQ组为以5 ng/ml的TGF-β1刺激1周后,再经20μmol/L Quercetin处理72 h的LOVO细胞;Q组为经20μmol/L Quercetin处理72 h的LOVO细胞。分别采用平板克隆试验、免疫组化SP法、RT-PCR法、Western blot法分析Quercetin和TGF-β1对LOVO细胞克隆形成能力、smad3及c-myc表达的影响。结果与对照组相比,不同浓度Quercetin组可明显抑制LOVO细胞的增殖,且呈剂量依赖性,IC50值约为40μmol/L。TGF-β1能明显促进LOVO细胞的增殖及smad3、c-myc的表达(P<0.05);Quercetin能明显抑制LOVO细胞的增殖及smad3、c-myc的表达(P<0.05);与Q组相比,TQ组细胞增殖能力及c-myc的表达明显降低(P<0.05)。结论 Quercetin通过抑制TGF-β1/smad3信号通路下调靶基因c-myc的表达,并具有抑制LOVO细胞增殖的作用。 相似文献
