BACKGROUND Epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) is a central mechanism for the occurrence and development of pulmonary fibrosis. Therefore, to identify the key target molecules regulating the EMT process is considered as an important direction for the prevention and treatment of pulmonary fibrosis. Transglutaminase 2 (TG2) has been recently found to play an important role in the regulation of inflammation and the generation of extracellular matrix. Here, our study focuses on the roles of TG2 in pulmonary fibrosis and EMT. METHODS at first, the expression of TG2 and the EMT-related markers like E-cadherin, Vimentin, and α-SMA were detected with Western Blotting, immunohistochemistry and other methods in the mice with pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin. Further, MLE 12 cells were used to study the effects on EMT of the inhibition of TG2 in vitro. Finally, GK921, an inhibitor against TG2, was used to show its function in both prevention and treatment of pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin in mice. RESULTS bleomycin succeeded to induce pulmonary fibrosis in mice, with increased TG2 expression, EMT and Akt activation. Knock-down of TG2 by siRNA technique in MLE 12 cell (a mouse alveolar epithelial cell line) and GK921 (an inhibitor of TG2) all inhibited the EMT process, however SC79, an activator of Akt rescued above inhibition. Finally, GK921 alleviated pulmonary fibrosis in mice induced by bleomycin. CONCLUSION Blocking TG2 reduces bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice via inhibiting EMT.

阻断 TG2 通过抑制 EMT 减轻博莱霉素诱导的小鼠肺纤维化。

背景上皮间质转化(EMT)是肺纤维化发生和发展的核心机制。因此,识别调控EMT过程的关键靶分子被认为是防治肺纤维化的重要方向。最近发现转谷氨酰胺酶 2 (TG2) 在炎症的调节和细胞外基质的生成中起重要作用。在这里,我们的研究重点是 TG2 在肺纤维化和 EMT 中的作用。方法首先采用Western Blotting、免疫组化等方法检测博来霉素致肺纤维化小鼠TG2及EMT相关标志物如E-cadherin、Vimentin、α-SMA的表达。更远,MLE 12细胞用于研究体外抑制TG2对EMT的影响。最后,TG2 抑制剂 GK921 被用于显示其在预防和治疗由博来霉素诱导的小鼠肺纤维化方面的作用。结果 博来霉素成功诱导小鼠肺纤维化,增加 TG2 表达、EMT 和 Akt 活化。通过 siRNA 技术在 MLE 12 细胞(小鼠肺泡上皮细胞系)和 GK921(TG2 抑制剂)中敲除 TG2 都抑制了 EMT 过程,但是 SC79(一种 Akt 激活剂)在上述抑制作用下得以拯救。最后,GK921 减轻了博来霉素诱导的小鼠肺纤维化。结论 阻断 TG2 通过抑制 EMT 减少小鼠博来霉素诱导的肺纤维化。用于显示其在预防和治疗由博来霉素诱导的小鼠肺纤维化中的作用。结果 博来霉素成功诱导小鼠肺纤维化,增加 TG2 表达、EMT 和 Akt 活化。通过 siRNA 技术在 MLE 12 细胞(小鼠肺泡上皮细胞系)和 GK921(TG2 抑制剂)中敲除 TG2 都抑制了 EMT 过程,但是 SC79(一种 Akt 激活剂)在上述抑制作用下得以拯救。最后,GK921 减轻了博来霉素诱导的小鼠肺纤维化。结论 阻断 TG2 通过抑制 EMT 减少小鼠博来霉素诱导的肺纤维化。用于显示其在预防和治疗由博来霉素诱导的小鼠肺纤维化中的作用。结果 博来霉素成功诱导小鼠肺纤维化,增加 TG2 表达、EMT 和 Akt 活化。通过 siRNA 技术在 MLE 12 细胞(小鼠肺泡上皮细胞系)和 GK921(TG2 抑制剂)中敲除 TG2 都抑制了 EMT 过程,但是 SC79(一种 Akt 激活剂)在上述抑制作用下得以拯救。最后,GK921 减轻了博来霉素诱导的小鼠肺纤维化。结论 阻断 TG2 通过抑制 EMT 减少小鼠博来霉素诱导的肺纤维化。通过 siRNA 技术在 MLE 12 细胞(小鼠肺泡上皮细胞系)和 GK921(TG2 抑制剂)中敲除 TG2 都抑制了 EMT 过程,但是 SC79(一种 Akt 激活剂)在上述抑制作用下得以拯救。最后,GK921 减轻了博来霉素诱导的小鼠肺纤维化。结论 阻断 TG2 通过抑制 EMT 减少小鼠博来霉素诱导的肺纤维化。通过 siRNA 技术在 MLE 12 细胞(小鼠肺泡上皮细胞系)和 GK921(TG2 抑制剂)中敲除 TG2 都抑制了 EMT 过程,但是 SC79(一种 Akt 激活剂)在上述抑制作用下得以挽救。最后,GK921 减轻了博来霉素诱导的小鼠肺纤维化。结论 阻断 TG2 通过抑制 EMT 减少小鼠博来霉素诱导的肺纤维化。
