In order to study the role of protein kinase in the proliferation of lung fibroblasts induced by crocidolite. An in vitro model was established by rabbit alveolar macrophage (AM) and human embryonic pulmonary fibroblasts (HEPF). Using MTT color response method to measure HEPF proliferation, the influence of the inhibitor or activator of protein kinase (PKA, PKC and TPK) on the proliferation of crocidolite-induced HEPF were investigated. TiO2 was taken as negative control and SiO2 positive control. The results showed that the inhibitors of PKA, PKC and TPK could all inhibit the proliferation of HEPF induced by crocidolite, their activators could also promote the proliferation of HEPF. There all existed significant dose-effect relationships (P < 0.01), and the intensity in crocidolite group was inhibited or activated more than that in the controls. Through acting intensity analysis, the intensity was found as follows: TPK > PKC > PKA. It was suggested that TPK, PKC and PKA signal pathways were all involved in the process of the proliferation of crocidolite-induced HEPF, but TPK maybe played a key role in this process. This study provide leads for further research on identifying the bioactive factors of proliferation of crocidolite-induce HEPF.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
