摘要
阿尔茨海默病(AD)会导致脑血管变化。孕酮受体膜成分-1(PGRMC1)是一种已被确认的激素受体,在阿尔茨海默病中具有多种功能。本研究旨在探索 PGRMC1 参与调节血管内皮功能的情况,从而为 AD 的治疗提供新的选择。单细胞测序发现,PGRMC1在AD中的表达量较低。通过生物信息学分析,我们发现PGRMC1与细胞增殖、血管生成等调控有关。为了了解 PGRMC1 的功能意义,我们分别用人脑微血管内皮细胞(HBMVECs)进行了基因敲除和过表达实验。实验中进行了细胞增殖试验、迁移试验和管形成试验。结果表明,过表达 PGRMC1 能显著促进内皮细胞增殖、迁移和血管生成的相关过程。总之,PGRMC1 可能有助于调节 AD 中 HBMVECs 的功能。这一发现可能会为AD治疗提供新的靶点。
Progesterone Receptor Membrane Component-1 May Promote Survival of Human Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells in Alzheimer's Disease.
Cerebrovascular changes occur in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The progesterone receptor membrane component-1 (PGRMC1) is a well identified hormone receptor with multiple functions in AD. This study aims to explore the involvement of PGRMC1 in the regulation of vascular endothelial function, providing new therapy options for AD. Single-cell sequencing revealed that the expression of PGRMC1 is lower in AD. By bioinformatics analysis, we found PGRMC1 was associated with regulation of cell proliferation, angiogenesis and etc. To understand the functional significance of PGRMC1, knockdown and overexpression were performed using human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMVECs), respectively. Cell proliferation assay, migration assay, tube formation assay were performed in experiments. We demonstrated that the overexpression of PGRMC1 promoted the cellular processes associated with endothelia cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis, significantly. In conclusion, PGRMC1 may contribute to the modulation of HBMVECs function in AD. This finding may offer novel targets for AD treatment.
