[Conbercept reverses TGF-β2-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition in human lens epithelial cells by regulating the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway].
Objective: To investigate the mechanism by which conbercept reverses transforming growth factor-β2 (TGF-β2)-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in human lens epithelial cells (HLECs).
Methods: Cultured HLEC SRA01/04 cells were treated with TGF-β2, conbercept, or both, and the changes in cell proliferation, apoptosis, and migration were observed using MTT assay, flow cytometry, scratch assay, and Transwell assay. Western blotting and qRT-PCR were used to detect the changes in the expression of EMT-related epithelial cell markers (E-Cadherin, α-SMA, and Snail), extracellular matrix components, and genes related to the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway.
Results: Conbercept significantly reduced TGF-β2-induced EMT of SRA01/04 cells, decreased the expression levels of mesenchymal and extracellular matrix markers α-SMA, Snail, collagen I, collagen IV, and FN1, and upregulated the protein and mRNA expressions of E-cadherin (P <0.05). Transwell assay showed significantly lower cell migration ability in TGF-β2+conbercept group than in TGF-β2 group (P <0.05). Conbercept also inhibited the increase in Smad2/3 phosphorylation levels in HLEC-SRA01/04 cells with TGF-β2-induced EMT (P <0.01).
Conclusion: Conbercept inhibits TGF-β2 induced EMT by downregulating the expression of pSmad2/3 in TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway, indicating a potential therapeutic strategy against visual loss induced by posterior capsule opacification.
