Abstract

Purpose : The human lung fibroblast may act as an immunomodulatory cell by providing pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which are important in airway remodeling. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) induces mucosal edema and angiogenesis. Thymus and activation regulated chemokine (TARC) induces selective migration of T helper 2 cells. We investigated whether human lung fibroblasts produced VEGF and TARC, and the effects were augmented with the co-culture of fibroblasts and human bronchial smooth muscle cells (HBSMC), and whether dexamethasone can inhibit the proliferation and the release of VEGF in lung fibroblasts. Methods : Human lung fibroblasts were cultured with and without HBSMC, growth-arrested in serum-deprived medium, and pretreated with dexamethasone for 16 hours. After 24-hour stimulation with platelet derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) and/or transforming growth factor-${\beta}$ (TGF-${\beta}$), culture supernatant was harvested for assays of VEGF and TARC. Cell proliferation was assayed using BrdU cell proliferation ELISA kit. Results : 1) The release of VEGF was significantly increased after stimulation with TGF-${\beta}$, and its release was augmented when co-stimulated with PDGF and TGF-${\beta}$. 2) VEGF release induced by PDGF or TGF-${\beta}$ was inhibited by dexamethasone. 3) There was no synergistic effect on the release of VEGF when human lung fibroblasts were co-cultured with HBSMC. 4) Dexamethasone did not suppress human lung fibroblasts proliferations. 5) Neither TGF-${\beta}$ nor PDGF induced TARC release from lung fibroblasts. Conclusion : Human lung fibroblasts may modulate airway remodeling by release of VEGF, but they have no synergistic effects when co-cultured with HBSMC. Dexamethasone suppresses VEGF release, not proliferation of lung fibroblast.

목 적 : 폐섬유아세포는 예전에는 기도의 구조적 세포로만 알려져 왔으나, 최근에는 천식에서 기관지 운동의 톤을 조절할 뿐만 아니라 기도의 면역조절과 기도 개형에서 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 밝혀지고 있다. VEGF는 혈관 내피세포에서 강력한 작용을 하는 다기능적 사이토카인으로서, 상피내 세포의 세포분열을 유도하고, 상피세포의 투과도를 증가시키며, 상피세포의 이동을 향상시키는 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. TARC는 Th2 세포의 선택적 이동을 유도하는 케모카인으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 PDGF와 TGF-${\beta}$로 자극시킨 인간 폐섬유아세포에서 VEGF와 TARC가 생성되는지와 dexamethasone이 폐섬유아세포에서 VEGF의 분비를 억제하는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 또한 폐섬유아세포와 기관지 평활근 세포와 함께 배양했을 때 VEGF 생성에 미치는 효과를 단독배양 시와 비교하였다. 방 법 : 폐섬유아세포와 인간 기관지 평활근세포를 각각 혹은 함께 배양한 뒤 48시간동안 무혈청 배지에서 성장을 정지시킨 후 TGF-${\beta}$ (10 ng/mL)와 PDGF (20 ng/mL)로 자극하였다. 자극 후의 세포 증식 반응과 배양액 상층액의 VEGF, TARC 농도를 측정하여 dexamethasone ($10^{-6}M$)으로 전처치 후 자극한 것과 비교하였다. 결 과 : PDGF와 TGF-${\beta}$로 자극하였을 경우 폐섬유아세포에서 VEGF 분비가 의미있게 증가하였고, 특히 PDGF와 TGF-${\beta}$로 함께 자극하였을 경우 더욱 의미있는 상승을 보였다. Dexamethasone은 폐섬유아세포의 VEGF 분비를 PDGF로 자극한 경우와 PDGF, TGF-${\beta}$ 같이 자극한 경우 모두에서 억제하였다. 인간 기관지 평활근 세포와 폐섬유아세포를 혼합 배양했을 때 VEGF 분비에는 상승적인 효과가 없었다. Dexamethasone은 폐섬유아세포 증식을 억제시키지 않았다. 폐섬유아세포를 PDGF와 TGF-${\beta}$로 자극했을 때 TARC는 분비되지 않았다. 결 론 : 폐섬유아세포는 VEGF 분비를 통해 기도 개형에 관여하며, 기관지 평활근 세포와 함께 배양해도 VEGF 분비에 상승 효과는 없다. Dexamethasone은 VEGF 분비를 억제하였으나 폐섬유아세포의 증식을 억제하지는 못하였다.
