Figure 6 FXR ligands do not inhibit DNA synthesis or HSC proliferation induced by thrombin and growth factors nor induce apoptosis. DNA synthesis was measured by assessing H3-thymidine incorporation (A), whereas cell proliferation was evaluated by cell counting (B). Apoptosis (C) was measured by assessing propidium iodide incorporation. HSCs were cultured for 7 days in 10% FCS alone (control) or 10% FCS medium containing thrombin (10 U), PDGF, or TGF-β1 (100 ng/mL) in the presence of 20 μmol/L CDCA or 1 μmol/L 6-ECDCA. Data are mean ± SE of 6 experiments. *P < .01 vs. control cells.

Data are mean ± SE of 6 experiments. P < .01 vs. WT cells.

Figure 8 Abrogation of SHP expression by anti-SHP siRNA up-regulates α1(I) collagen mRNA expression in HSC-T6 cells. Anti-SHP siRNA was carried out as described in the Materials and Methods section. (A and B) HSC-T6 were incubated with 1–15 nmol/L SHP siRNA, and SHP expression was assessed by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. *P < .01 vs. control cells. (C) Lack of inhibition of α1(I) collagen mRNA expression by FXR ligands in SHP-defective HSC-T6. HSC-T6 were cultured for 18 hours in 10% FCS alone (control) or 10% FCS medium containing CDCA (20 μmol/L), 6-6-ECDCA (1 μmol/L) or GW4064 (100 nmol/L) and α1(I) collagen mRNA expression assessed by QRT-PCR. Data are mean ± SE of 6 experiments. P < .01 vs. WT cells. (D) Enhanced expression of α1(I) collagen mRNA in SHP defective HSC-T6. HSC-T6 were cultured for 18 hours in 10% FCS alone (control) or 10% FCS medium containing thrombin (10 U) and TGF-β1 (100 ng/mL), and α1(I) collagen mRNA expression was assessed by RT-PCR. Data are the mean ± SE of 6 independent experiments. P < .01 vs. WT cells.

Figure 9 SHP binds and inactivates AP-1 in HSCs. (A and B) Western blot analysis of JunD and c-Jun in anti-HA-SHP immunoprecipitates obtained from HSC-T6 infected with HA-SHP fusion protein. In both panels, the densitometric analysis of Western blot with anti-JunD and anti-c-Jun antibodies in HA-SHP immunoprecipitates is shown. The 10% input shown represents the amount of JunD and c-Jun that was expressed by HA-SHP cells exposed to 10 U thrombin for 18 hours. Densitometric analysis indicates that 30%–40% of HA-SHP imunoprecipitates bind to JunD or c-Jun. Data are mean ± SE of 4 experiments. (C) SHP overexpression inhibits the binding of AP-1 to DNA. EMSA was performed with nuclear extracts obtained from HSC-T6 cells infected with empty vector (lanes 1–4, 8, and 10) or HA-SHP chimera (lanes 5–7 and 9) and then incubated with thrombin with or without FXR 1 μmol/L 6-ECDCA or 100 nmol/L GW-4064. The nuclear extracts were preincubated with anti-JunD antibody at room temperature for 20 minutes before the addition of the radiolabeled probe. Although thrombin induces AP-1 binding in WT (lane 4 vs. lane 8), 6-ECDCA and GW-4064 (lanes 3 and 2 vs. lane 4) reduced the binding of AP-1 to DNA. SHP overexpression inhibits AP-1 DNA binding in all treatments (lanes 5–7 vs. lanes 2–4 and lane 9 vs. lane 8). The specificity of AP-1 DNA binding was demonstrated both by using anti-JunD antibody, which reduces AP-1 binding (lane 1), and an excess of cold probe, which abrogates AP to DNA binding (lane 10). P = free probe. The absence of the band of supershift depends on the interaction between the anti-JunD antibody and the protein that blocks the binding of JunD to response element. The EMSA shown is representative of 3 other experiments showing the same pattern.

Figure 10 In vivo administration of FXR ligand increases SHP expression and SHP/JunD interaction in HSCs. HSCs were isolated from BDL rats after treatment with 6-ECDCA, 3 mg/kg, for 7 days as described in the Materials and Methods section. An equal amount of lysates (10 μg per lane) obtained from day 0 HSCs was used for these experiments. HSCs were lysed, and Western blot analysis was performed as described in the Materials and Methods section. The blot shown is representative of at least 3 other experiments showing the same pattern.
