摘要

BackgroundPartial bladder outlet obstruction due to neurogenic bladderor mechanical obstruction is common amongst thepopulation and can cause bladder injury and dysfunction.Bladder Smooth Muscle Cells (BSMCs) undergo phenotypicchanges such as hyper-proliferation, de-differentiationand altered expression of integrins and ECM proteins.[1]Extracellular matrix changes are often crucial incitingevents for fibroproliferative disease.[2] Epigenetic change,specifically DNA methylation, may be important factorsunderlying the persistent fibroproliferative phenotype. Previously,damaged matrix (heat-denatured collagen, DNC)induced hyper-proliferation of bladder smooth musclecells (BSMC) and the phenotype was not reverted upon areturn to normal matrix. [3]We examined the dependencyof matrix-induced fibroproliferation and SMC phenotypeon DNA methyltransferase activity. The cooperativity ofmatrix with other inciting stimuli (growth factors, hypoxiaand strain) associated with bladder obstruction was alsoexamined.Material and methodsPrimary cultures of neonatal rat BSMC (early passage of0-2) and human BSMC were plated on 12-, 24-well or10cm culture plates that are pre-coated with either type Ibovine native collagen (NC) or DNC (heat-denatured NC).Hypoxia was induced at 3% O2 and 5%CO2 with a balanceof N2. Mechanical strain was applied with slow rampingup to a final 5% elongation over 16 hours. Inhibitors wereadded 2-3 hours after plating and remained for 48hrs.Cells were fixed, stained for DNA methyltransferase 3A(DNMT3A), a-Smooth muscle actin (a-SMA) and otherSMC differentiation markers. Intensities and cell numberswere analysed on ImageJ Finally, Illumina 450K array ofCpG sites was performed on bisulfite converted DNAfrom human smooth muscle cells on DNC vs. NC.ResultsDNC exposure significantly increased the translocalizationof DNMT3A into the nucleus of BSMC, in contrast to NCcells, which expressed only cytoplasmic DNMT3A. Theincrease in nuclear expression of DNMT3A was coupledwith decreased expression level of a-SMA. Hypoxia withDNC increased DNMT3A nuclear expression, but mechanicalstrain only mildly increased DNMT3A expression. OnDNC cultures, AG490 (JAK2/STAT inhibitor) significantlyreduced DNMT3A nuclear localization (P=0.001), withoutchanging a-SMA expression and proliferation. Aza-cytidinesuppressed hyper-proliferation of BSMCs cultured on DNCwithout affecting basal proliferation on NC. On damagedmatrix, Sonic hedgehog (SHH) upregulated expression ofa-SMA, but did not alter proliferation. However, SHHincreased absolute levels of both nuclear and cytoplasmicDNMT3A. Followed by rigorous multiple testing, we discoveredsignificant changes in methylation status for7 genes in the Illumina 450K array.ConclusionsMatrix exquisitely regulates DNMT3A localization andexpression, and influences differentiation in BSMCsexposed to denatured matrix +/- growth factors or SHH.That nuclear expression of DNMT does not always correspondto decreased a-SMA expression suggests thatDNA methylation may not directly act as a dedifferentiatingfactor, as it appears to influence both proliferation/loss of differentiation on DNC as well as differentiationby SHH. Future work will examine how expression of other SMC markers is affected by shRNA knockdown ofDNMTs.
