Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Although transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), a growth regulator of hepatocytes, induces cell death under pathological conditions, responsiveness of hepatocytes to hypoxic stimulus has not been fully defined. This study aimed at investigating the role of TGF-beta1 in hypoxia-induced hepatotoxicity using cultured clone-9 hepatocytes with or without serum supplementation. METHODS/RESULTS:Presence of serum significantly potentiated hypoxia-induced hepatotoxicity after 72h of exposure, as evidenced by fluorescent viability stain and LDH cytotoxicity assay. Quantitative PCR showed that TGF-beta1 gene expression decreased, while ELISA revealed that latent TGF-beta1 in conditioned media prominently increased in serum-treated groups under hypoxia. Western blotting indicated that both type I and II receptors of TGF-beta were up-regulated in serum-free groups, but down-regulated in serum-treated groups under hypoxia. Smad2 phosphorylation was only detectable in cells supplemented with serum, and hypoxia potentiated the extent of Smad2 phosphorylation, implicating that the activated TGF-beta1 induces hepatotoxicity in an autocrine manner. Addition of exogenous TGF-beta1 deteriorated, while TGF-beta1 blockade by neutralizing antibody ameliorated hypoxia-induced hepatotoxicity with serum supplementation. Gelatine zymography and immunofluorescent stain evidenced that elevated MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity and serum-dependent CD44 expression and its membranous localization may contribute to TGF-beta1 activation. CONCLUSION:The results suggest that the mechanism governing TGF-beta activation plays a crucial role in hypoxia-induced hepatotoxicity. Thus, interventions on TGF-beta1 bioavailability and/or its cognate signaling may be of benefit in preventing hypoxia-related liver injuries.
