六肽WKYMVm(Trp-Lys-Tyr-Met-Val-D-Met)是甲酰肽受体2的配体,在疾病模型中表现出抗炎和血管生成特性。然而,WKYMVm对肝纤维化的治疗作用迄今尚未进行评估。因此,我们研究了WKYMVm是否在胆管结扎(BDL)大鼠模型中发挥抗纤维化作用并诱导血管再生。使用生化测定、qRT-PCR、蛋白质印迹、免疫荧光和免疫组织化学分析WKYMVm对BDL大鼠模型中肝再生的抗纤维化和血管生成作用。为了确定WKYMVm在体外对肝纤维化和血管生成的影响,我们测量了肝星状细胞(HSC)中纤维化因子和人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVECs)中血管生成因子的表达水平。WKYMVm可明显抑制BDL模型大鼠脑组织中I型胶原(Col I)和α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)的表达,并显著增加血管生成因子的水平(p < 0.05)。WKYMVm降低了转化生长因子(TGF)-β诱导的HSC中的纤维化标志物表达,并通过5-氟尿嘧啶(FU)处理的HUVEC中的管形成促进了血管生成活性(p < 0.05)。此外,WKYMVm给药增强了BDL大鼠中的肝细胞增殖(p < 0.05)。WKYMVm通过抑制HSC活化来减轻肝纤维化,并通过血管重塑来促进肝再生。这些数据表明,WKYMVm可能是一种新的治疗肝纤维化的药物。
Hexapeptide WKYMVm (Trp-Lys-Tyr-Met-Val-D-Met), a ligand of formyl peptide receptor 2, exhibits anti-inflammatory and angiogenic properties in disease models. However, the therapeutic effects of WKYMVm on hepatic fibrosis have not been evaluated to date. Therefore, we investigated whether WKYMVm exerts antifibrotic effects and induces vascular regeneration in a rat model of bile duct ligation (BDL). The antifibrotic and angiogenic effects of WKYMVm on liver regeneration in the BDL rat model were analyzed using biochemical assays, qRT-PCR, western blotting, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry. To determine the effects of WKYMVm on hepatic fibrosis and angiogenesis in vitro, we measured the expression levels of fibrotic factors in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and angiogenic factors in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). WKYMVm attenuated the expression of collagen type I (Col I) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and significantly increased the levels of angiogenetic factors in the BDL model (p < 0.05). WKYMVm reduced fibrotic marker expression in transforming growth factor (TGF)-β-induced HSCs and promoted angiogenic activity through tube formation in 5-Fluorouracil (FU)-treated HUVECs (p < 0.05). Also, WKYMVm administration enhanced hepatocyte proliferation in BDL rats (p < 0.05). The WKYMVm alleviates hepatic fibrosis by inhibiting HSC activation and promotes hepatic regeneration via vascular remodeling. These data suggest that the WKYMVm may be a new therapeutic agent for liver fibrosis.
