Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloprotease-1(TIMP-1)Regulates Adipogenesis of Adipose-derived Stem Cells(ASCs)via the Wnt Signaling Pathway in an MMP-independent Manner

         

摘要

Summary:Tissue inhibitor of m etalloprotease-1(TIM P-1)is a tissue inhibitor o f matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs).It however exerts multiple effects on biological processes,such as cell growth,proliferation,differentiation and apoptosis,in an MMP-independent manner.This study aimed to examine the role of TIMP-1 in adipogenesis of adipose-derived stem cells(ASCs)and the underlying mechanism.We knocked down the TIMP-1 gene in ASCs through lentiviral vectors encoding TIMP-1 small interfering RNA(siRNA),and then found that the knockdown of TIMP-1 in ASCs promoted the adipogenic differentiation of stem cells and inhibited the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in ASCs.We also noted that mutant TIMP-1 without the inhibitory activity on MMPs promoted the activation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway as well as the recombinant wild type TIMP-1 did,which indicated that the effect of TIMP-1 on Wnt/β-catenin pathway was MMPindependent.Our study suggested that TIMP-1 negatively regulated the adipogenesis of ASCs via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in an MMP-independent manner.
