Effect of retinoid receptor alpha (RXRalpha) transfection on the proliferation and phenotype of rat hepatic stellate cells in vitro.
Chin Med J (Engl). 2002 Jun; 115 (6): 928-32.,-0001,():
OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of retinoid receptor alpha (RXRalpha) transfection plus treatment with the RXRalpha ligand, 9-cis-RA, on the proliferation and phenotype of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). METHODS: PDGF activated rat hepatic stellate cells were transfected with eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1-human RXRalpha, and confirmed by Western blot. Proliferation of transfected HSC was assayed by bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation as well as MTT, and the phenotype (alpha-smooth muscle actin, desmin) was observed by immunocytochemistry with image analysis. RESULTS: Transfection of the RXRalpha gene and treatment with ligand 9-cis-RA of PDGF-activated HSCs extended the increased expression of RXRalpha protein for at least 168 hours. Cell proliferation and expressions of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) and desmin were blocked, compared with groups of sham-transfected, PDGF-activated, no transfection, no ligand treatment, and irrelevant ligand treated HSCs. CONCLUSION: Transfection with the RXRalpha gene followed by 9-cis-RA ligand treatment will inhibit the proliferation and reverse the phenotype of activated HSC.
