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.

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.
