摘要: 目的 探索Hippo-YAP信号通路与自噬在血管平滑肌细胞表型转换中的作用关系及其机制。方法 ① 培养小鼠血管平滑肌细胞(VSMCs),选取第4~8代用于实验,使用血管紧张素Ⅱ(AngⅡ,1×10-7mol/L)处理24 h构建VSMCs表型转换模型,对照组细胞以同浓度的二甲基亚砜(DOSO)处理。②使用Western Blot、qRT-PCR技术在蛋白质及mRNA水平对YAP,VSMCs表型标志物OPN、α-SMA,以及自噬相关标志物LC3、P62、Beclin1进行检测。③分别构建YAP与Beclin1的小干扰RNA(siRNA)对其进行敲减,构建YAP的过表达质粒(pcDNA-YAP)对其进行过表达,使用WB与qRT-PCR验证各基因的表达变化。结果 ① 与对照组相比,AngⅡ处理后VSMCs收缩型标志物α-SMA表达下调、合成型标志物OPN表达上调,YAP及自噬相关标志物LC3Ⅱ、Beclin1表达上调、P62表达下调,在蛋白质及mRNA水平均差异有统计学意义。②与对照组相比,YAP siRNA转染后,VSMCs中YAP在蛋白质与mRNA水平出现明显下调;过表达YAP后,YAP的表达水平出现明显上调。③与单纯AngⅡ刺激组相比,在AngⅡ联合YAP siRNA组中,表型转换的发生及自噬相关标志物的上调明显受到抑制;而过表达YAP组中,表型转换的发生及自噬相关标志物的上调得到进一步增强。④与单纯AngⅡ刺激组相比,AngⅡ联合Beclin1 siRNA组中,表型转换的发生及自噬相关标志物的上调均受到抑制,但两组中YAP的表达变化差异无统计学意义。结论 在VSMCs发生表型转换过程中,自噬相关基因及YAP的表达均明显上调,且YAP可能通过增加Beclin1的表达促进自噬,从而参与表型转换的发生。Abstract: Objective To explore interaction and mechanism between Hippo-YAP signaling pathway and autophagy in phenotypic transition of vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs).Methods ① To construct phenotypic transition model of mouse VSMCs, the 4th to 8th generations of VSMCs were treated with angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ, 1×10-7mol/L) for 24 hours, and the control group was treated with DMSO. ②Western Blot and qRT-PCR were used to detect the expression of YAP, OPN, α-SMA, autophagy-related markers LC3, P62 and Beclin1. ③siRNA was constructed to knock down YAP and Beclin1, respectively. The plasmid was constructed to overexpress YAP. WB and qRT-PCR were used to verify the expression changes of each gene.Results ① Compared to the control group, the expression of α-SMA was significantly down-regulated, While the expression of OPN was up-regulated. YAP and autophagy-related markers LC3Ⅱ、Beclin1 were up-regulated, and the expression of P62 was down-regulated after AngⅡ treatment. There were statistical differences at protein and mRNA levels. ②Compared to the control group, YAP's protein and mRNA in VSMCs were significantly down-regulated after YAP siRNA transfection. After YAP overexpression, YAP was significantly up-regulated. ③Compared to the AngⅡ group, the phenotypic transition and the up-regulation of autophagy-related markers were significantly inhibited in the group treated with both AngⅡ and YAP siRNA. While in the YAP overexpression group, phenotypic transition and up-regulation of autophagy-related markers were further enhanced. ④Compared to the AngⅡ treat group, the phenotypic transition and the up-regulation of autophagy-related markers were inhibited in the group treated with both AngⅡ and Beclin1 siRNA, while the expression of YAP in the two groups was no statistical difference.Conclusion The expression of autophagy-related markers and YAP were up-regulated in VSMCs during phenotypic transitioning, and YAP may promote autophagy by upreglute the expression of Beclin1 and ultimately accelerate phenotypic transition.
