タイトル TGF-beta and glutathione promote tissue repair in cigarette smoke induced injury.
ジャーナル J Med Dent Sci
Abstract We studied the effect of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on a three-dimensional (3-D) co-culture model with epithelial cells and mesenchymal cells to clarify how epithelial cells protect lung tissue from cigarette smoke in-vivo. Two types of gels were prepared. The one was the co-culture of human fetal lung fibroblasts (HFL-I) embedded in type-I collagen gel, with alveolar epithelial cells (A549) cultured covering the top of the gel. The other was HFL-I cells alone. After 48 hours from CSE exposure, gel contraction, levels of fibronectin, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta and GSH were assessed. CSE inhibited fibroblast-mediated gel contraction and this inhibition was lessened in co-culture associated with higher GSH concentration and TGF-beta1 level as compared to the level in HFL-I cells alone. CSE lowered fibronectin level to a lesser extent in co-culture as compared to the level in HFL-I cells alone. Exogenous TGF-beta1 restored the inhibition of gel contraction by CSE independent of GSH level. Cigarette smoke may interfere with 3-D co-culture gel contraction by diminishing GSH, fibronectin and TGF-beta1 action in the epithelial-mesenchymal interaction.
