Abstract:Objective To investigate effects of PDGF on phenotypic change of glomerular mesangial cells(MC),and study intracellular mechanisms through mitogen-activated-protein kinase(MAPK)pathways.Methods After stimulation with PDGF,cell proliferation and expression of α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA) were detected in cultured rat MC.Expression of α-SMA and activity of JNK,which may be a intracellular signaling event in cell differentiation,was measured with or without antagonist of MEK-1.Then MC was stably transfected with constitutively active Raf-1 (BxB Raf).Phenotypic differences including expression of α-SMA and cell morphology between Raf-1 transfectants and normal cells were assessed.Results PDGF stimulated MC proliferation from 24 to 120 hours.Expression of α-SMA was enhanced frmn 6 to 48 hours stimulation,but was inhibited about 50% after 72 hours stimulation.PDGF did uot influence JNK activity.PDGF-induced level of JNK activity and enhanced expression of α-SMA were not influenced by treatment with MEK-1 antagonist PD98059.In the BxB-Raf expressing MC with a constitutively elevated ERK activity,JNK activity decreased by 50% and expression of α-SMA was completely absent.Less detectable microfilaments and morphologic change were found in these cells.Conclusions PDGF stimulates cell proliferation,promotes expression of α-SMA at a short period but inhibits it at persistent stimulation.PDGF regulates not only MC proliferation but also their differentiation process.These effects appear to be regulated by MAPK signaling pathways,in which activation of Raf-1 and JNK may be the critical events.
