Abstract:

Objective   To investigate the mechanism and effects of tumor necrosis factor-like inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) on expressions of collagen I and matrix metalloproteinase1(MMP-1) in cardiac fibroblasts(CFs). Methods   Cultured CFs from neonatal Wistar rats were treated with the recombinant human TWEAK and the P38MAPK specific inhibitor(SB203580). CFs were divided into 3 groups: ① the control group: CFs were cultured without any stimulus; ② the TWEAK group: CFs were incubated with 100ng/mL TWEAK; ③ the TWEAK+SB203580 group: CFs were incubated with 100ng/mL TWEAK+SB203580. The CFs proliferation was examined by MTT, and expressions of collagen Ⅰ-and phosphor-P38MAPK protein were detected by Western blot. qRT-PCR was used to detect the collagen Ⅰ mRNA level. ELASA was used to detect the concentration of MMP1 in CFs cell-culture supernatant. Results   TWEAK promoted the proliferation of the CFs and expressions of collagen Ⅰ and phosphor-P38MAPK protein. The expressions of collagen Ⅰ mRNA and MCP-1 were up regulated due to TWEAK. P38MAPK specific inhibitor (SB203580) could inhibit the proliferation of CFs. P38MAPK specific inhibitor (SB203580) could partially inhibit expressions of collagens Ⅰ mRNA , collagens Ⅰ protein, phosphor-P38MAPK protein and MMP-1. Conclusion   TWEAK can promote expressions of collagen Ⅰ and MMP-1 in rat cardiac fibroblasts via P38MAPK pathway.
