TITLE: Effects of total flavonoids from Carthamus tinctorius L. on hepatic stellate cell activation based on miRNA-204/NUAK1/Hippo signaling axis
摘要: 目的 基于微RNA(miRNA)-204/NUAK家族SNF1样激酶1(NUAK1)/Hippo信号轴研究红花总黄酮(TFCTL)抑制肝星状细胞(HSC)活化的作用,为进一步阐明TFCTL抗肝纤维化的作用机制提供参考。方法将HSC-T6细胞分为对照组、模型组、TFCTL低浓度组(20μg/mL)、TFCTL中浓度组(40μg/mL)、TFCTL高浓度组(60μg/mL)。除对照组外,其余各组均加入5ng/mL的转化生长因子β诱导HSC活化,然后加入相应药液/培养基培养24h。培养结束后,检测细胞凋亡情况以及细胞中α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)、Ⅰ型胶原蛋白(CollagenⅠ)和Hippo/Yes相关蛋白(YAP)通路相关蛋白[YAP、大肿瘤抑制激酶1(LATS1)、哺乳动物STE20样激酶1(MST1)]表达。另采用细胞转染法从基因、蛋白层面分别考察TFCTL对miRNA-204/NUAK1/Hippo信号轴活性的影响。结果经TFCTL干预后,HSC-T6细胞凋亡率和细胞中MST1(TFCTL高浓度组除外)、LATS1蛋白表达水平均显著升高(P<0.05),细胞中α-SMA、CollagenⅠ、YAP(TFCTL中浓度组除外)蛋白表达水平均显著降低(P<0.05)。进一步的细胞转染实验结果显示,转染miRNA-204模拟物后,HSC-T6细胞中α-SMA、CollagenⅠ、NUAK1、YAPmRNA及其蛋白表达水平均显著降低(P<0.05),LATS1mRNA及其蛋白表达水平、MST1mRNA表达水平均显著升高(P<0.05),且转染miRNA-204抑制剂后的结果与之相反(MST1mRNA除外)。结论TFCTL可通过上调miRNA-204表达,下调NUAK1表达,抑制Hippo/YAP通路活性,从而抑制HSC活化并促进其凋亡,进而发挥抗肝纤维化作用。
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of total flavonoids from Carthamus tinctorius L. (TFCTL) on hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation based on the microRNA (miRNA)-204/NUAK family SNF1-like kinase 1 (NUAK1)/Hippo signaling axis, thereby elucidating the potential mechanism underlying their antifibrotic effects. METHODS The HSC-T6 cells were divided into control group, model group, TFCTL low-concentration group (20 μg/mL), TFCTL medium-concentration group (40 μg/mL), and TFCTL high-concentration group (60 μg/mL). Except for control group, the remaining groups were treated with 5 ng/mL of transforming growth factor-β to induce the activation of hepatic stellate cells, followed by the addition of corresponding drug solutions/culture medium and incubation for 24 hours. Cell apoptosis was assessed, the expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), type Ⅰ collagen (Collagen Ⅰ) and proteins associated with the Hippo/Yes-associated protein (YAP) pathway [YAP, large tumor suppressor kinase 1 (LATS1), and mammalian STE20-like kinase 1 (MST1)] were detected. Additionally, cell transfection was used to investigate the activity of the miRNA-204/NUAK1/Hippo signaling axis at both the genetic and protein levels. RESULTS After intervention with TFCTL, the apoptosis rate of HSC-T6 cells and the protein expressions of MST1 (except for the TFCTL high-concentration group) and LATS1 were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the protein expressions of α-SMA, CollagenⅠ, and YAP (except for the TFCTL medium-concentration group) were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Further results from cell transfection experiments revealed that after transfection with miRNA-204 mimics, the mRNA it’s protein expressions of α-SMA, CollagenⅠ, NUAK1, and YAP in HSC-T6 cells were significantly decreased (P<0.05), while the mRNA and protein expressions of LATS1 and the mRNA expression of MST1 were significantly increased (P<0.05). Conversely, the results were opposite following transfection with miRNA-204 inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS TFCTL can exert anti-hepatic fibrosis effects by up-regulating the expression of miRNA-204, thereby down- regulating the expressions of NUAK1, inactivating the Hippo/YAP pathway, which in turn suppresses the activation of HSC and promotes their apoptosis.
