摘要
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect and mechanism of quercetin on TGF-beta 1-induced retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell proliferation, migration, and extracellular matrix secretion. Materials and methods: Cell counting kit-8, transwell, wound-healing assays, and ELISA were used to assess viability, migration, and collagen I secretion, respectively. Western blot analysis and qPCR were employed to detect mRNA and protein expression levels, respectively. Results: Quercetin suppressed TGF-beta 1-induced cell proliferation, migration, and collagen I secretion. The results also showed that mRNA and protein expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related markers such as alpha-smooth muscle actin and N-cadherin was downregulated by quercetin in TGF-beta 1-treated RPE cells; conversely, quercetin upregulated the expression of E-cadherin and tight junction protein 1 (ZO-1). In addition, quercetin could inhibit mRNA and protein expression of matrix metalloproteinases. Quercetin may reverse the progression of EMT via the Smad2/3 pathway. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate the protective effects of quercetin on RPE cell EMT, revealing a potential therapeutic agent for proliferative vitreoretinopathy treatment.
