Platelet Transforming Growth Factor-?1 Induces Liver Sinusoidal Endothelial Cells to Secrete Interleukin-6.

ABSTRACT: The roles and interactions of platelets and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells in liver regeneration are unclear, and the trigger that initiates hepatocyte proliferation is unknown. We aimed to identify the key factors released by activated platelets that induce liver sinusoidal endothelial cells to produce interleukin-6 (IL-6), a cytokine implicated in the early phase of liver regeneration. We characterized the releasate of activated platelets inducing the in vitro production of IL-6 by mouse liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and observed that the stimulating factor was a thermolabile protein. Following gel filtration, a single fraction of activated platelet releasate induced a maximal IL-6 secretion by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (90.2 ± 13.9 versus control with buffer, 9.0 ± 0.8 pg/mL, p < 0.05). Mass spectroscopy analysis of this fraction, followed by in silico processing, resulted in a reduced list of 18 candidates. Several proteins from the list were tested, and only recombinant transforming growth factor ?1 (TGF-?1) resulted in an increased IL-6 production up to 242.7 ± 30.5 pg/mL, which was comparable to non-fractionated platelet releasate effect. Using neutralizing anti-TGF-?1 antibody or a TGF-?1 receptor inhibitor, IL-6 production by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells was dramatically reduced. These results support a role of platelet TGF-?1 ?1 in the priming phase of liver regeneration.

Project description:Fabry disease is a lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) caused by deficiency of α-galactosidase A (α-gal A), resulting in deposition of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3; also known as ceramide trihexoside) in the vascular endothelium of many organs. A gradual accumulation of Gb3 leads to cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and renal dysfunction. Endothelial cell dysfunction leads to renal complications, one of the main symptoms of Fabry disease. However, the pathological mechanisms by which endothelial dysfunction occurs in Fabry disease are poorly characterized. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the expression of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is associated with the renal pathogenesis of Fabry disease. We found that the protein expression levels of renal thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), TGF-β1 and VEGF were higher in the kidneys from Fabry mice compared to wild-type mice. The expression levels of VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2), fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) and phospho-p38 (P-p38) were also higher in the kidneys from Fabry mice compared with wild-type mice. Activities of cysteine aspartic acid protease (caspase)-6 and caspase-9 were higher in kidneys from Fabry than from the wild-type mice. These results suggest that overexpression of TGF-β1 and VEGF in the Fabry mouse kidney might contribute to Fabry disease nephropathy by inducing apoptosis. To test whether Gb3 accumulation can induce apoptosis, we incubated bovine aortic endothelial cells with Gb3 and found increased expression of TGF-β1, VEGFR2, VEGF, FGF-2 and P-p38. The combination of increased expression of TGF-β1 and VEGF caused by Gb3 accumulation may allow upregulation of FGF-2, VEGFR2 and P-p38 expression, and these changes may be associated with Fabry disease nephropathy by inducing apoptosis.
