3.Progress of Targeting Transforming Growth Factor-β1 Small Interfering RNA in Liver Fibrosis
Chinese Medical Sciences Journal 2014;(4):231-235
Liver fibrosis is a common pathological consequence of a variety of chronic stimuli, including viral, autoimmune, drug-induced, cholestatic and metabolic diseases. Fibrosis is driven by a dynamic process involving increased synthesis of matrix components and a failure of physiological mechanisms of matrix turnover. Activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) remains a central event in fibrosis. HSCs are the main source of extracellular matrix (ECM). Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), which is the fibrogenic master cytokine, can induce the activation of HSCs to produce a large amount of ECM, and is capable of inducing apoptosis of liver cells. RNA interference (RNAi) is a novel gene disruption technology. Studies have shown that small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting TGF-β1 may inhibit the activation and proliferation of HSCs, suppress ECM synthesis and block liver fibrosis. TGF-β1 siRNA-mediated gene silencing therapy provides a new avenue for liver fibrosis. This review summarizes recent progresses in research on HSCs, TGF-β1 and TGF-β1 siRNA in liver fibrosis.

The molecular delivery vectors used in gene therapy need provide the features of safety,stability, efficiency and capacity. The current studies on the structure and action mechanism of pRNA, a packaging RNA of phage?29, showed that pRNA with multiple binding sites can through cell membrane easily and escort exogenous molecules to target cell, without inducing immune reaction. As an ideal nano-scale gene therapy vehicle, pRNA presents a promising application in delivering multiple therapeutic components to detect and treat human diseases.

Objective To explore the effects of PP242 on the expression of apoptosis protein Bcl?2 in human lens epithelial cells(HLECs). Meth?ods Immortal HLECs SRA01/04 were cultured and treated with different concentrations of PP242. The cell growth was examined by MTT assay at 24 h and 48 h after PP242 treatment. Real?time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT?PCR)and Western blot were adopted to detect the mRNA and protein expression of Bcl?2 respectively. Results The cultured HLECs SRA01/04 were collected and treated with different concentra?tions(100,250,500,750,1 000,1 500 nmol/L)of PP242. After treatment for 24 h and 48 h,the inhibitory rate in each well was determined by MTT assay. The inhibition rate was as below,24 h:7.55%,9.43%,16.98%,22.64%,26.42%,30.19%;48 h:11.11%,23.81%,36.51%,42.86%, 49.21%,63.49%. Compared with the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Compared with the control group(0 nmol/L),the expression of Bcl?2 protein was significantly decreased with the increasing concentrations of PP242(P<0.05),while the expression of Bcl?2 mRNA was inhibited by PP242 based on the results of RT?PCR. Compared with the control group(0 nmol/L),the RT?PCR results of Bcl?2 mRNA were 0.723±0.039,0.517±0.028,0.353±0.052,0.167±0.046,respectively(P<0.05). Conclusion PP242 could inhibit cell proliferation of HLECs in vitro with a concentration and time depended manner. Bcl?2 protein is expressed in HLECs,which could be down regulated by PP242 treatment.
