             [摘    要] 目的:明确凋亡抑制蛋白c⁃FLIP(L)在肺纤维化过程中的作用,探究其异常表达参与肺纤维化发病的分子机制。方
              法:构建博来霉素诱导的小鼠肺纤维化模型,对正常鼠与模型鼠的肺组织切片进行HE和Masson染色观察病理变化,并采用免疫
              组化分析c⁃FLIP(L)及上皮⁃间质转化(epithelial⁃mesenchymal transition,EMT)标志分子E⁃cadherin的表达。构建表达c⁃FLIP(L)
              的稳定细胞株,qRT⁃PCR 检测EMT标志分子E⁃cadherin、N⁃cadherin 及Vimentin 的mRNA 表达。采用转化生长因子(transform⁃
              ing growth factor,TGF)⁃β1诱导细胞发生EMT,通过Smad报告基因检测和Western blot分析c⁃FLIP对TGF⁃β1诱导EMT发生的
              影响。结果:c⁃FLIP(L)表达水平在肺纤维化组织中明显升高,与E⁃cadherin表达呈负相关性。C⁃FLIP(L)能促进肺上皮细胞的
              EMT 表型,并促进TGF⁃β1诱导的Smad 信号通路激活,而敲减c⁃FLIP(L)表达能阻滞TGF⁃β1诱导的EMT 进程。结论:c⁃FLIP
             (L)在肺纤维化过程中高表达能促进EMT发生,是肺纤维化病程发展的促进因素之一。

             [Abstract] Objective:This study aims to explore the effect of c⁃FLIP(L)in pulmonary fibrosis and its pathological mechanism.
              Methods:Based on bleomycin(BLM)induced idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in mice,the expressions of c⁃FLIP and E⁃cadherin were
              analyzed by IHC staining. Further investigations in A549 cells overexpressing c⁃FLIP(L),the expression levels of E⁃cadherin,N⁃
              cadherin and Vimentin mRNA were examined by qRT⁃PCR,and Smad activation induced by transforming growth factor(TGF)⁃β1 was
              detected by luciferase reporter assay and Western blot. Results:The increased c⁃FLIP expression was observed and associated with a
              decrease of E⁃cadherin expression. C⁃FLIP(L)overexpression resulted in the changes on E⁃cadherin,N⁃cadherin and Vimentin
              expressions in A549 cells. Furthemore,overexpression of c⁃FLIP(L)enhanced TGF⁃β⁃induced Smad activation,and knocking down
              c⁃FLIP(L)blocked the TGF⁃β1⁃induced EMT progress. Conclusion:C⁃FLIP(L)may be a promoting factor in the development of
              fibrosis via regulating EMT progress.
