Matrix Metalloproteinase Activity In Human Intrahepatic Biliary Epithelial Cell Lines From Patients With Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
CONNECTIVE TISSUE RESEARCH(1996)
摘要
Hepatic cysts derived from intrahepatic bile ducts are the most common extrarenal manifestation of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Cyst enlargement involves cell proliferation, fluid secretion into cysts, and alterations in extracellular matrix. To study hepatic cyst formation, continuous cell lines from human normal intrahepatic biliary epithelium (IBE) and ADPKD liver cyst-derived epithelium (LCDE) were developed. Because matrix degradation and remodeling are important for cyst formation and growth, we investigated matrix modifying enzymes expressed in IBE and LCDE cell lines. Gelatin substrate zymography showed that two matrix degrading activities with characteristics of matrix metalloproteinases are secreted from these cell lines. Western immunoblotting suggests that these activities correspond to the 72 kDa (Gelatinase A) and 92 kDa (Gelatinase B) type IV collagenases. Although the level of Gelatinase A activity is comparable in both IBE and LCDE cell lines, Gelatinase B activity is substantially increased in LCDE lines.
