摘要
AIM： To investigate the effects of transforming growth factor β1 （TGF-β1） on the differentiation of colonic lamina propria fibroblasts （CLPF） into myofibroblasts in vitro.METHODS： Primary CLPF cultures were incubated with TGF-β1 and analyzed for production of m-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA）, fibronectin （FN） and FN isoforms. Migration assays were performed in a modified 48-well Boyden chamber. Levels of total and phosphorylated focal adhesion kinase （FAK） in CLPF were analyzed after induction of migration.did not change α-SMA levels, while TGF-β1 treatment for 6 d significantly increased α-SIVlA production. Short term incubation （6 h） with TGF-β1 enhanced CLPF migration, while long term treatment （6 d） of CLPF with TGF-β1 reduced migration to 15%-37% compared to untreated cells. FN and FN isoform mRNA expression were increased after short term incubation with TGF-β1 （2 d） in contrast to long term incubation with TGF-β1 for 6 d. After induction of migration, TGF-β1-preincubated CLPF showed higher amounts of FN and its isoforms and lower levels of total and phosphorylated FAK than untreated cells.CONCLUSION： Long term incubation of CLPF with TGF-β1 induced differentiation into myofibroblasts with enhanced α-SMA, reduced migratory potential and FAK phosphorylation, and increased FN production. In contrast, short term contact （6 h） of fibroblasts with TGF-β1 induced a dose-dependent increase of cell migration and FAK phosphorylation without induction of α-SMA production.
AIM:To investigate the effects of transforming growth factorβ1(TGF-β1)on the differentiation of colonic lamina propria fibroblasts(CLPF)into myofibroblasts in vitro. METHODS:Primary CLPF cultures were incubated with TGF-β1 and analyzed for production ofα-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA),fibronectin(FN)and FN isoforms.Migration assays were performed in a modified 48-well Boyden chamber.Levels of total and phosphorylated focal adhesion kinase(FAK)in CLPF were analyzed after induction of migration.RESULTS:Incubation of CLPF with TGF-β1 for 2 d did not changeα-SMA levels,while TGF-β1 treatment for 6 d significantly increasedα-SMA production.

CONCLUSION:Long term incubation of CLPF with TGF-β1 induced differentiation into myofibroblasts with enhancedα-SMA,reduced migratory potential and FAK phosphorylation,and increased FN production.In contrast,short term contact(6 h)of fibroblasts with TGF-β1 induced a dose-dependent increase of cell migration and FAK phosphorylation without induction ofα-SMA production.
