摘要: 目的 探究miR-425-5p在增生性瘢痕(HS)形成中的作用及机制。方法 通过RT-qPCR和Western blot检测了16对HS组织和正常皮肤组织中miR-425-5p、转化生长因子-β1(TGF-β1)和SMAD家庭成员2(Smad2)的水平。将成纤维细胞分为9组:对照组(control组)、miR-425-5p-mimic组、NC-mimic组、miR-425-5p-inhibitor组、NC-inhibitor组、TGF-β1-pcDNA3.1组、NC-pcDNA3.1组、miR-425-5p-mimic+NC-pcDNA3.1组和miR-425-5p-mimic+TGF-β1-pcDNA3.1组,并采用Lipofectamine 2000对细胞进行转染处理。通过双荧光素酶报告基因实验验证miR-425-5p和TGF-β1的靶向关系。通过博莱霉素(BLM)诱导小鼠增生性瘢痕,然后将小鼠随机分为3组,对照组(NC-agomir)、模型组(NC-agomir+BLM)和转染miR-425-5p干预模型组(miR-425-5p-agomir+BLM),小鼠均治疗21 d。通过Masson三色染色检测HS组织的胶原纤维沉积。通过RT-qPCR和Western blot检测组织和细胞中miR-425-5p、Ⅰ 型胶原(Col-Ⅰ)、Ⅲ型胶原(Col-Ⅲ)、α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)、TGF-β1和Smad2的表达水平。结果 与正常组相比,HS组的miR-425-5p表达水平降低(t=4.242,P<0.001),而TGF-β1 mRNA和蛋白表达水平均升高(P<0.001)。与对照组相比,miR-425-5p-mimic组的Col-Ⅰ、Col-Ⅲ、α-SMA、TGF-β1和Smad2的mRNA和蛋白表达水平均降低(P<0.05)。与control组相比,miR-425-5p-inhibitor组的Col-Ⅰ、Col-Ⅲ、α-SMA、TGF-β1和Smad2的mRNA和蛋白表达水平均升高(P<0.05)。与miR-425-5p-mimic共转染后,TGF-β1-3′-UTR-WT组的相对荧光素酶活性比TGF-β1-3′-UTR-MUT组降低(P<0.05)。与miR-425-5p-mimic+NC-pcDNA3.1组相比,miR-425-5p-mimic+TGF-β1-pcDNA3.1组的Col-Ⅰ、Col-Ⅲ、α-SMA、TGF-β1和Smad2的mRNA和蛋白表达水平均升高(P<0.05)。与NC-agomir+BLM组相比,miR-425-5p-agomir+BLM组的相对胶原蛋白含量降低(P<0.05),miR-425-5p表达水平升高,而TGF-β1的mRNA和蛋白表达水平均降低(P<0.05)。结论 miR-425-5p在HS组织中表达下调,上调miR-425-5p通过抑制TGF-β1/ Smad2信号通路抑制胶原沉积和HS形成。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of miR-425-5p in the formation of hypertrophic scar(HS).Methods The levels of miR-425-5p, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and SMAD family member 2 (Smad2) in 16 pairs of HS tissue and normal skin tissue were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot. The fibroblast cells were divided into nine groups: control group, miR-425-5p-mimic group, NC-mimic group, miR-425-5p-inhibitor group, NC-inhibitor group, TGF-β1-pcDNA3.1 group, NC-pcDNA3.1 group, miR-425-5p-mimic+NC-pcDNA3.1 group and miR-425-5p-mimic+TGF-β1-pcDNA3.1 group. The cells were transfected with Lipofectamine 2000. The targeting relationship between miR-425-5p and TGF-β1 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Hypertrophic scars in mice were induced by bleomycin(BLM), and then the mice were randomly divided into 3 groups, control group (NC-agomir), model group (NC-agomir+BLM) and intervention model group transfected with miR-425-5p (miR-425-5p-agomir+BLM), mice were treated for 21 days. Collagen fiber deposition in HS tissue was detected by Masson's trichrome staining. The expressions of miR-425-5p, type Ⅰ collagen (Col-Ⅰ), type Ⅲ collagen (Col-Ⅲ), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), TGF-β1 and Smad2 in tissues and cells were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot. Results Compared with normal group, the expression of miR-425-5p in HS group was decreased (t=4.242, P<0.001), while the mRNA and protein expression of TGF-β1 was increased(P<0.001). Compared with control group, the mRNA and protein expression of Col-Ⅰ, Col-Ⅲ, α-SMA, TGF-β1 and Smad2 in miR-425-5p-mimic group were all decreased (P<0.05). Compared with control group, mRNA and protein expression of Col-Ⅰ, Col-Ⅲ, α-SMA, TGF-β1 and Smad2 in miR-425-5p-inhibitor group was all increased(P<0.05). After co-transfection with miR-425-5p-mimic, the relative luciferase activity of TGF-β1-3′-UTR-WT group was reduced as compared with TGF-β1-3′-UTR-MUT group (P<0.05). Compared with miR-425-5p-mimic+NC-pcDNA3.1 group, mRNA and protein expression of Col-Ⅰ, Col-Ⅲ, α-SMA, TGF-β1 and Smad2 in miR-425-5p-mimic+TGF-β1-pcDNA3.1 group were all increased (P<0.05). Compared with NC-agomir+BLM group, the relative collagen content of miR-425-5p-agomir+BLM group was decreased (P<0.05) and the expression of miR-425-5p was increased (P<0.05). The TGF-β1 mRNA and protein were decreased (P<0.05).Conclusions The miR-425-5p is down-regulated in HS tissue, and up-regulated miR-425-5p inhibits collagen deposition and HS formation by inhibiting TGF-β1/Smad2 signaling pathway.
