PG - 73-6 AB - OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of beta8 expression on transforming growth factor beta1(TGF-beta1) activation in astrocytes with oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD). METHODS: Astrocytes were cultured and then subjected to OGD to generate hypoxia-ischemia (HI) model in vitro. Immunocytochemistry was used to detect the expression and distribution of beta8 in nomoxia cultured cells. beta8 protein expression was quantified by Western blot at 12 hours, 1 day and 2 days after OGD. Astrocytes and luciferase reporter cells (TMLC) were co-cultured. beta8 RNA interference system was established to specifically inhibit beta8 expression in cultured astrocytes. TGF-beta1 activation was then detected in the co-culture system. RESULTS: beta8 was mainly located in the cytoplasm and neurites of astrocytes. OGD resulted in increase of beta8 protein expression at 12 hours after reoxygenation in astrocytes, which was peaked at 1 day after reoxygenation. TGF-beta1 activation was in accordance with beta8 expression in astrocyte-TMLC co-culture system after reoxygenation. After the inhibition of beta8, TGF-beta1 activation was significantly reduced in all time points. CONCLUSIONS: The highly expressed beta8 plays important roles in the regulation of TGF-beta1 activation in neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage.
