Inhibitory effect of platelet-derived growth factor-α receptor silencing on the proliferation of human lens epithelial cell / 中华实验眼科杂志

ABSTRACT

Background Platelet-derived growth facto(PDGF) affectthe proliferation of human lenepithelial cell(LECs),and human LECexpresPDGF-α recepto(PDGFR-α) throughoutheilifetime.The binding of activated PDGF-α receptowith PDGF promotethe synthesiof DNA.Othestudiedemonstrated thasilencing of PDGFR-α by antisense oligodeoxynucleotide(ASODN) inhibitthe growth of RPE cellin proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR),buwhethethitechnique ifeasible foLECiunclear.Objective Thistudy wato investigate the effecof the knockdown of the PDGFR-α on the proliferation of human LECin vitro,and to offean experimental basifothe gene therapy of posteriocapsule opacification.MethodHuman LECstrain SRA01/ 04 wacultured in α-MEM containing fetal bovine serum.The cellwere incubated in 6-well platea5 × 104 cells/ well and transfection of ASODN-containing liposome waperformed.The cellwere divided into the blank control group (with blank liposome),PDGFR-α missense oligodeoxynucleotide(MSODN) group (with PDGFR-α MSODN + liposome),0.5 μmol/L PDGFR-α ASODN group (with 0.5 μmol/L PDGFR-α ASODN+liposome) and 1.0 μmol/L PDGFR-α ASODN group (with 1.0 μ mol/L PDGFR-α ASODN+liposome).The morphology of LECwaexamined undean inverse microscope 24 houraftetransfection.The expression of PDGFR-α mRNin the cellwadetected by reverse transcription-PC(RT-PCR).The rate of proliferation (A490) of the cellwaassayed using Mtand the inhibitory rate of PDGFR-α ASODN on proliferation wameasured.The percentage of LECin G1 phase waanalyzed by flow cytometer.ResultThe LECgrew well and exhibited polygonal shape in the blank control group and PDGFR-α MSODN group 24 houraftetransfection.Buin the 0.5 μmol/L and 1.0 μmol/L PDGFR-α ASODN groups,the cellappeared round in shape and the numberof cellwere obviously decreased.The expression of PDGFR-α mRNdetected by RT-Pcdemonstrated highelevel in the blank control group and PDGFR-α MSODN group;however,the PDGFR-α mRNexpression waobviously lowein the 0.5 μmol/L and 1.0 μmol/L PDGFR-α ASODN groups.The A490 value wa0.661 ± 0.036,0.655 ± 0.016,0.529 ± 0.030 and 0.441 ± 0.039 in the blank control group,PDGFR-α MSODN group,0.5 μmol/L PDGFR-α ASODN group and 1.0 μmol/L PDGFR-α ASODN group,respectively,showing significandecline in the 0.5 μmol/L PDGFR-α ASODN group and 1.0 μ mol/L PDGFR-α ASODN group in comparison with the blank control group (F=34.08,P＜0.01).The percentageof LECin G1 phase were (47.73±1.18)％,(49.48±1.09)％,(53.31±1.30)％ and (59.98±0.95) ％ in the blank control group,PDGFR-α MSODN group,0.5 μmol/L PDGFR-α ASODN group and 1.0 μmol/L PDGFR-α ASODN group,showing significandifference among them (F =68.41,P＜0.01),and thain the 0.5 μmol/L PDGFR-α ASODN group o1.0 μmol/L PDGFR-α ASODN group showed significantly increase in comparison with the blank control group (P＜0.05).ConclusionPDGFR-α silencing could inhibithe proliferation of human LECin vitro.
