Abstract: OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of TGF-β1 on expression of miRNA and the inflammatory protein,cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2),in human keratinocytes (HaCaT) after UVB irradiation. METHODS:10 ng/μL of TGF-β1 was added to cultured HaCaT cells for 48 h and then irradiated with UVB:0,10,20,30 mJ/cm2 UVB and different time (4,12 and 24 h) after 30 mJ/cm2 UVB irradiation. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detected expression levels of miRNA-23a and let-7c 6 h after irradiation. Expression levels of COX-2 and caspase-3 were detected by Western blot at different time (0,2,4,8,12,24 and 48 h) after 30 mJ/cm2 UVB irradiation. RESULTS:Expression of miR-23a was increased and let-7c was generally down-regulated. Expression of COX-2 was significantly increased (P < 0.05),and cleaved-caspase3 decreased gradually at 12-48 h after irradiation. CONCLUSION:The data indicate that TGF-β could regulate the expression levels of miRNA and COX-2 which have been shown to play a role in cell proliferation,infiltration,inflammation and anti-apoptosis.
