Background: Curcumol, possessing antiviral, antifungal, antimicrobial, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties, has been widely used in treating cancers and liver fibrosis. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of curcumol on the progression of asthma.Materials and methods: Curcumol was administrated to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)- BB-stimulated airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs). The proliferation of ASMCs was assessed by MTT and EdU incorporation assays. The apoptosis of ASMCs was measured by flow cytometry and Western blotting. The migration of ASMCs was evaluated by Transwell migration assay and Western blotting. The regulatory effects of curcumol on extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK)/cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) pathway was evaluated by Western blotting.Results: The proliferation and migration of ASMCs induced by PDGF-BB was suppressed, and the apoptosis of ASMCs was elevated by curcumol in a dose-dependent manner. The activation of ERK/CREB pathway induced by PDGF-BB was suppressed by curcumol.Conclusion: Curcumol could suppress ERK/CREB pathway to inhibit proliferation and migration and promote apoptosis of PDGF-BB-stimulated ASMCs. These findings suggest that curcumol may act as a potential drug for asthma treatment.

Proliferation And Migration

Asthma is considered as a general term for various chronic inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract. Growing evidences have supported that microRNAs were involved in mediating cell proliferation, migration, and other cellular functions. MiR-149 has been found to take part in the development of various cancers. However, whether miR-149 participated in the proliferation and migration of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1)-induced airway smooth muscle cells was still unknown. In this study, the expression level of miR-149 in human airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) was decreased after TGF-β1 treatment in vitro. Additionally, the over-expression of miR-149 obviously suppressed proliferation and migration in human ASMCs. Besides, we found that overexpression of miR-149 could inhibit the expression of transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) both in protein and gene levels. Furthermore, we demonstrated that miR-149 could inhibit the cell proliferation and migration in human ASMCs by targeting TRPM7 through modulating mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) signaling pathway. Taken together, we strongly supported that miR-149 might be a key inhibitor of asthma by targeting TRMP7. Therefore, our finding suggests a promising biomarker for the development of further targeted therapies for asthma.

Proliferation And Migration

Abnormal migration and proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) in the airway cause airway wall thickening, which is strongly related with the development of airway remodeling in asthma. Clara cell 10 kDa protein (CC10), which is secreted by the epithelial clara cells of the pulmonary airways, plays an important role in the regulation of immunological and inflammatory processes. Previous studies suggested that CC10 protein had great protective effects against inflammation in asthma. However, the effects of CC10 protein on ASMCs migration and proliferation in airway remodeling were poorly understood. In this study, we constructed the pET-22b-CC10 recombinant plasmid, induced expression and purified the recombinant rat CC10 protein fromE. coliby Ni2+affinity chromatography and ion exchange chromatography purification. We investigated the effect of recombinant rat CC10 protein on platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB-induced ASMCs proliferation and migration. Our results demonstrated that the recombinant CC10 protein could inhibit PDGF-BB-induced cell viability, proliferation and migration. Western blot analysis showed that PDGF-BB-induced activation of cyclin D1 was inhibited by CC10. These findings implicated that CC10 could inhibit increased ASMCs proliferation, and migration induced by PDGF-BB, and this suppression effect might be associated with inhibition of cyclin D1 expression, which might offer hope for the future treatment of airway remodeling.
