Purpose Growth factors are considered as key molecules that participating in fibrosis formation. This research aimed to clarify potential effects of p53 on regulation of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) and fibrosis formation and investigate the associated mechanisms. Methods Vimentin was examined to identify human Tenon's fibroblasts (HTFs). p53-targeting small interfere RNA (siRNA) was synthesis and transfected into HTFs. Real-time PCR assay was utilized to evaluate p53 and microRNA-29b (miR-29b) expression. Immunocytochemical assay was used to observe TGF-beta expression. The wound healing assay was conducted to evaluate migration of HTFs. Dual-luciferase assay was employed to identify interaction between p53 and miR-29b in HTFs. Results Vimentin was extensively distributed in HTFs cells. HTFs at density of 5 x 10(4) cells/ml and 6 days exhibited the best growth. The p53 level in TGF-beta treatment group was significantly higher compared to that in blank group (p < 0.01). miR-29b level in siRNA targeting p53 group was significantly increased compared to that in blank group (p < 0.01). siRNA targeting p53 could significantly inhibit HTFs migration compared to that in single TGF-beta treating HTFs group (p < 0.01). Relative luciferase activity was significantly increased in p53 overexpressed HTFs compared to that in cells transfected with empty pcDNA3.0 plasmid (p < 0.01). Conclusions p53 inhibited expression of TGF-beta, suppressed HTFs migration and inhibited HTFs growth, by reducing miR-29b expression and interacting with miR29b gene in HTFs.
