Abstract:
[Objective]To investigate the role and mechanism of interleukin-1? on fibroblast synthesis of matrix metalloproteinase-3,and explore the impact of interleukin-1? on the formation of epidural scar.[Method]The NIH3T3 cells were divided into three groups:IL-1? group,IL-1? + SB202190 group and control group. After serum-free culture for 20 hours,IL-1? group was treated by IL-1? (10ng/ml) and IL-1? + SB202190 group was treated by the SB202190 (10?mol/L) for 1 hour before treatment with IL-1?(10ng/ml) and the control group was treated with 2% serum. Then those 3 groups were cultured for 24 hours under standard conditions (37℃ in a humidified atmosphere flushed with 5% CO2 in air). The expression of MMP-3 gene was examined by RT-PCR and Western blotting.[Result]The expression of MMP-3 significantly increased in the IL-1? group than that in the control group(P0.05). [Conclusion]IL-1? could stimulate the expression of MMP-3 in NIH3T3 cells which might inhibit the formation of epidural scar. Besides,the author found that the p38 pathway played an major role in this process.
