目的 以RNA干扰技术沉默TGF-β诱导早期基因(TIEG)的表达,观察TIEG沉默对糖基化终末产物(AGEs)介导的肾小管上皮细胞Smad2表达的影响。方法 以pshRNA-copGFP-lentivector作为载体,构建含TIEG特异siRNA的慢病毒载体psiRNA-TIEG,将其转染至大鼠近端肾小管上皮细胞(NRK52E),然后给予糖基化修饰的牛血清白蛋白(AGE-BSA)刺激24 h和48 h,采用PCR方法测定其TIEG mRNA、Smad2 mRNA表达水平,蛋白免疫印迹法测定Smad2蛋白表达水平。以转染空质粒载体组作为对照。结果 TIEG特异的siRNA可有效下调AGEs诱导的TIEG mRNA、Smad2 mRNA和蛋白表达,与空质粒载体组相比差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论 TIEG 的沉默能有效抑制AGEs介导的NRK52E细胞Smad2 mRNA和蛋白的表达。 |

Abstract: |
Objective To investigate the effect of siRNA targeting TGF-β inducible early gene (TIEG) on expression of Smad2 in advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-mediated renal tubular epithelial cells. Methods The pshRNA-copGFP-lentivector containing target gene was used as a vector to construct siRNA-TIEG, which was then transfected into normal rat proximal tubular epithelial cells(NRK52E),which were then cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with AGE-BSA for 24 h and 48 h. The expression of Smad2 mRNA and protein was examined by PCR, Western blotting analysis, respectively. Blank vector group served as control.Results SiRNA-TIEG significantly reduced the expression of TIEG mRNA, Smad2 mRNA and Smad2 protein in normal rat proximal tubular epithelial cells in presence of AGE-BSA compared with those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Silence of TIEG can effectively inhibit the expression of Smad2 mediated by AGEs in NRK52E cells. |
