摘要: 目的探讨TGFβ1对胚胎肝前体细胞(HPC)分化的影响。方法体外培养HPC-E14. 5细胞株并以细胞免疫荧光染色法鉴定。将细胞分为对照组(HPC)、HPC+TGFβ1组和HPC+SB431542组。HPC+TGFβ1组滴加外源性TGFβ1,HPC+SB431542组加入TGFβ1受体抑制剂SB431542,处理72 h后通过qRT-PCR法和Western Blot法分别检测AFP、Alb、细胞角蛋白19(CK19)mRNA及蛋白的表达情况;糖原染色法检测细胞分化后的功能。计量资料多组间比较采用单因素方差分析,进一步两两比较采用Dunnett’s t检验。结果 qRT-PCR检测结果:对照组的AFP mRNA表达量高于其他两组(F=128. 937,P <0. 01),HPC+TGFβ1组的CK19 mRNA表达量高于其他两组(F=414. 467,P <0. 01),HPC+SB431542组的Alb mRNA表达量最高(F=794. 929,P <0. 01)。Western Blot法检测结果:对照组的AFP蛋白表达量高于其他两组(F=269. 000,P &...Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of the transforming growth factor-β1( TGF-β1) signaling pathway on the differentiation of hepatic progenitor cells( HPCs). Methods HPC-E14. 5 cells were cultured in vitro and immunofluorescent staining was performed for identification. The cells were divided into control group( HPCs),HPCs + TGF-β1 group,and HPCs + SB431542 group. The cells in the HPCs + TGF-β1 group were treated with exogenous TGF-β1,and those in the HPCs + SB431542 group were treated with the TGF-β1 receptor inhibitor SB431542; after 72 hours of treatment,qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to measure the mRNA and protein expression of the stem cell marker alpha-fetoprotein( AFP),the hepatocyte marker albumin( Alb),and the cholangiocyte marker cytokeratin 19( CK19),and periodic acid-Schiff staining was used to evaluate function after differentiation. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups,and the Dunnett's t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. Results The results of qRT-PCR showed that the control group had significantly higher mRNA expression of AFP than the other two groups( F = 128. 937,P < 0. 01),the HPCs + TGF-β1 group had significantly higher mRNA expression of CK19 than the other two groups( F =414. 467,P < 0. 01),and the HPCs + SB431542 group had the highest mRNA expression of Alb( F = 794. 929,P < 0. 01). The results of Western blot showed that the control group had significantly higher protein expression of AFP than the other two groups( F = 269. 000,P <0. 01),the HPCs + TGF-β1 group had significantly higher protein expression of CK19 than the other two groups( F = 93. 010,P < 0. 01),and the HPCs + SB431542 group had significantly higher protein expression of Alb than the other two groups( F = 1086. 000,P < 0. 01).Periodic acid-Schiff staining showed that the control group had a significantly smaller positive staining area than the other two groups( F =79. 251,P < 0. 05). Conclusion The TGF-β1 signaling pathway induces HPC differentiation into functional cholangiocytes; however,HPCs tend to differentiate into mature hepatocytes after the TGF-β1 signaling pathway is blocked. Such cholangiocytes and hepatocytes have the normal function of glycogen storage and synthesis and may participate in metabolic activities.
