摘要

目的

磷脂酰肌醇-3-激酶-蛋白激酶B-哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白(phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase-protein kinase B-mammalian target of rapamycin，PI3K/Akt/mTOR)信号通路是自噬相关主要信号通路之一。自噬在硅沉着病纤维化形成过程中发挥关键作用。肺成纤维细胞向肌成纤维细胞表型转化是硅沉着病由炎症期进入纤维化期的标志之一。本研究旨在探讨PI3K/Akt/mTOR通路是否通过介导巨噬细胞自噬影响矽尘诱导的肺成纤维细胞向肌成纤维细胞表型转化。

结论

矽尘染毒引起巨噬细胞的PI3K/Akt/mTOR通路抑制、自噬发生及炎症因子分泌增加，进而促进HFL-1细胞向肌成纤维细胞表型转化；调控PI3K/Akt/mTOR通路可通过影响矽尘对巨噬细胞的自噬诱导及炎症因子分泌，从而调节 HFL-1细胞向肌成纤维细胞表型转化。

Abstract

Objective

The phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) pathway is one of the main signaling pathways related to autophagy. Autophagy plays a key role in the formation of silicosis fibrosis. The phenotypic transformation of lung fibroblasts into myofibroblasts is a hallmark of the transition from the inflammatory phase to the fibrotic phase in silicosis. This study aims to investigate whether the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway affects the phenotypic transformation of silicosis-induced lung fibroblasts into myofibroblasts via mediating macrophage autophagy.

Methods

The human monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1 cells were differentiated into macrophages by treating with 100 ng/mL of phorbol ester for 24 h. Macrophages were exposed to different concentrations (0

100

200

400 μg/mL) and different times (0

48 h) of SiO

dust suspension. The survival rate of macrophages was measured by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the contents of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the cell supernatant. The co-culture system of macrophages and HFL-1 cells was established by transwell. A blank control group

a SiO

group

a LY294002 group

a SC79 group

a LY294002+SiO

group

and a SC79+SiO

group were set up in this experiment. Macrophages in the LY294002+SiO

group were pretreated with LY294002 (PI3K inhibitor) for 18 hours

and macrophages in the SC79+SiO

group were pretreated with SC79 (Akt activator) for 24 hours

and then exposed to SiO

(100 μg/mL) dust suspension for 12 hours. The expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) protein in macrophages was detected by the immunofluorescence method. The protein expressions of PI3K

Akt

mTOR

Beclin-1

LC3 in macrophages

and collagen III (Col III)

α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA)

fibronectin (FN)

matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1)

tissue metalloproteinase inhibitor-1 (TIMP-1) in HFL-1 cells were measured by Western blotting.

Results

After the macrophages were exposed to SiO

dust suspension of different concentrations for 12 h

the survival rates of macrophages were gradually decreased with the increase of SiO

concentration. Compared with the 0 μg/mL group

the survival rates of macrophages in the 100

200

and 400 μg/mL groups were significantly decreased

and the concentrations of TGF-β1 and TNF-α in the cell supernatant were obviously increased (all

0.05). When 100 μg/mL SiO

dust suspension was applied to macrophages

the survival rates of macrophages were decreased with the prolonged exposure time. Compared with the 0 h group

the survival rates of macrophages were significantly decreased (all

0.05)

the concentrations of TGF-β1 and TNF-α in the cell supernatant were significantly increased

and the protein expression levels of Beclin-1 and LC3II were increased markedly in the 6

and 48 h groups (all

0.05). Immunofluorescence results demonstrated that after exposure to SiO

(100 μg/mL) dust for 12 h

LC3 exhibited punctate aggregation and significantly higher fluorescence intensity compared to the blank control group (

0.05). Compared with the blank control group

the protein expressions of Col III

α-SMA

MMP-1

and TIMP-1 in HFL-1 cells were up-regulated in the SiO

group (all

0.05). Compared with the SiO

group

the protein expressions of PI3K

Akt

and mTOR were down-regulated and the protein expressions of LC3II and Beclin-1 were up-regulated in macrophages (all

0.05)

the contents of TNF-α and TGF-β1 in the cell supernatant were decreased (both

0.01)

and the protein expressions of Col III

α-SMA

MMP-1

and TIMP-1 in HFL-1 cells were down-regulated (all

0.05) in the LY294002+SiO

group. Compared with the SiO

group

the protein expressions of PI3K

Akt

and mTOR were up-regulated and the protein expressions of LC3II and Beclin-1 were down-regulated in macrophages (all

0.05)

the contents of TNF-α and TGF-β1 in the cell supernatant were increased (both

0.01)

and the protein expressions of Col III

α-SMA

MMP-1

and TIMP-1 in HFL-1 cells were up-regulated (all

0.05) in the SC79+SiO

group.

Conclusion

Silica dust exposure inhibits the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway

increases autophagy and concentration of inflammatory factors in macrophages

and promotes the phenotype transformation of HFL-1 cells into myofibroblasts. The regulation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway can affect the autophagy induction and the concentration of inflammatory factors of macrophages by silica dust exposure

and then affect the phenotype transformation of HFL-1 cells into myofibroblasts induced by silica dust exposure.
