Human hepatic stellate cells secrete adrenomedullin: potential autocrine factor in the regulation of cell contractility.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND/AIMS:Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are perisinusoidal pericytes which have receptors for vasoactive factors, such as endothelin-1, which can regulate cell contractility in an autocrine manner. It is unknown whether human HSCs have receptors for and are able to synthesize the vasodilator peptide adrenomedullin (ADM), a peptide produced by most contractile cells. METHODS AND RESULTS:Stimulation of HSCs with ADM resulted in a dose-dependent raise in cAMP concentration (radioimmunoassay) and markedly blunted the endothelin-induced increase in [Ca2+]i and cell contraction, as assessed in cells loaded with fura-2 using a morphometric method. The existence of the receptor CRLR for ADM and their associated proteins RAMP-1 and RAMP-2 was demonstrated by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Moreover, activated human HSCs spontaneously secreted ADM in the culture medium in a time-dependent manner. ADM secretion was markedly enhanced by tumour necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1beta. Specific mRNA for ADM (RT-PCR and Northern blot) was detected in HSCs and increased after incubation of cells with cytokines. CONCLUSIONS:Human HSCs have functional receptors for ADM, the stimulation of which blunts the contractile effect of endothelin-1. Cultured human HSCs secrete ADM in baseline conditions. This secretion is markedly increased by cytokines. These results suggest that ADM can regulate HSCs' contractility in an autocrine manner.
