Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) on the synthesis and secretion of fibronection and the inhibiting effect of anti-IGFBP7 antibody on apop-tosis of hepatic stellate cell-T6 (HSC-T6). Methods HSC-T6 cultured in vitro were divided into blank control group, IGFBP7 20 μg/L group, anti-IGFBP7 antibody 0.25 mg/L group, anti-IGFBP7 antibody 0.50 mg/L group and anti-IGFBP7 antibody 1.00 mg/L group. HSC-T6 were treated by IGFBP7 for 24 hours, then the expression of fibronectin was detected by Western blot and the content of fibronectin by ELISA. After incubating HSC-T6 with anti-IGFBP7 antibody for 14 hours, the inhibiting effect of anti-IGFBP7 antibody on HST-T6 was evaluated by MTT assay, and the effect of anti-IGFBP7 on the apoptosis of HST-T6 was detected by flow cytometry. All data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, t test and SNK-q test. Results The content and expression of fibronection in IGFBP7 20 mg/L group were significantly higher than those in the blank control group (t = 22.06, 7.43, P < 0.05). Anti-IGFBP7 antibody had an obvious inhibiting effect on the proliferation of HSC-T6 (F=14. 70, P < 0.05), and it also enhanced the ratio of apoptosis of HSC-T6 (F = 63.79, P < 0.05). Conclusions IGFBP7 can increase the synthesis and secretion of fibronectin which is the principal component of extracellular matrix. Anti-IGFBP7 antibody can inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of HSC-T6.

Objective To identify the effect of IGFBPrP1 on the secretion of extracellular matrix in hepatic stellate cells through the Smad3 signaling pathway. Methods (1)Two pairs of chemically synthesized siRNAs (siRNA1, siRNA2) targeting Smad3 were transfected into HSC-T6 cells,real-time PCR and Western blot were used to evaluate the silence efficiency, and the better siRNA was used. (2)HSC-T6 cells were divided into four groups: Negative control group, siRNA-Smad3 transfection group, siRNA-Smad3+IGFBPrP1 group and IGFBPrP1 group. The better siRNA was chosen to transfect into HSC-T6 cells. The protein expressions of Smad3, fibronectin and Collagen Ⅰ were evaluated by Western blot. Results (1)siRNA2-Smad3 inhibited Smad3 gene expression stronger than another siRNA. (2)After transfection of siRNA2-Smad3, the protein expression of Smad3 was significantly decreased compared to the negative control group(P<0.01). The protein expression of fibronectin and Collagen Ⅰ in IGFBPrP1 stimulating HSCs treated with siRNA2-Smad3 were significantly decreased compared to that in IGFBPrP1 stimulating HSC without siRNA2-Smad3 (P <0. 01 ).Conclusion IGFBPrP1 induces the secretion of extracellular matrix in hepatic stellate cells through the Smad3 signaling pathway.

Glycogen synthase kinase-3β( GSK-3β) is a serine-threonine kinase,which was originally identified as a key regula-tor of glycogen metabolism. In nervous system, GSK-3β partici-pates in many central and peripheral nervous system physiological processes through transcription,cell proliferation and differentia-tion. The abnormal activity of GSK-3βinduces downstream signa-ling molecules and gene expression abnormalities,which are in-volved in some neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder,Alzheimer's disease,and pain. In recent years, lots of basic and clinic researches focus on GSK-3β,which might gradually become critical theraptic target of many diseases. The article mainly reviews the mechanisms involved in abnormal acti-vation of GSK-3β related neuropsychiatric disorders.
