Effects of hepatocyte growth factor-mediated activation of Dll4-Notch-Hey2 signaling pathway
摘要
Abstract
Background Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) treats ischemic disease by promoting arteriogenesis, however, its mechanism of action is not known. The notch signaling pathway plays an important role in neovascularization. The relationship between the proliferation and migration ability of artery endothelial cells and the Dll4-Notch-Hey2 signaling pathway in the process of arteriogenesis was investigated as a mechanism of action of HGF.Methods Based on the prophase study cells and supernatant were harvested at the indicated time after human femoral artery endothelial cells (HFAECs) were infected with adenovirus-HGF (Ad-HGF) at 200 pfu/cell. Cells were analyzed for HGF expression and Notch1, Dll4 and Hey2 expression by ELISA and reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). The changes in the proliferation and migration ability of HFAECs were observed by MTT and Transwell migration experiments.Ad-GFP-infected HFAECs were used as control.Results Compared with the control group the Ad-HGF group's HGF expression was not increased with time, and the induction by HGF of Notch1, Dll4 and Hey2 gene transcription was not enhanced with an increase of HGF. The proliferation ability of Ad-HGF-transduced HFAECs was enhanced and their migration ability was also enhanced in the presence of HGF.Conclusions Through activating the Dll4-Notch-Hey2 signaling pathway, HGF indirectly promotes the proliferation and migration ability of cells, so that offspring artery branches are formed.关键词
