PURPOSE: Vocal fold scarring is abnormal scar tissue in the lamina propria layer of the vocal fold. To facilitate investigation of vocal fold scarring, we established and characterized immortalized human vocal fold fibroblast (iHVFF) cell lines.
METHODS: Human vocal fold fibroblasts were immortalized by introducing Simian virus 40 large T antigen (SV40TAg) by transfection. Successfully transfected fibroblasts were sorted using flow cytometry. Immunofluorescence cytochemistry and western blot were applied to analyze the expression of fibronectin, vimentin, alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and fibroblast activation protein (FAP). Cell proliferation rate was measured by CCK-8 assay. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to analyze the mRNA expression level.
RESULTS: The iHVFFs continued to proliferate for more than 30 generations and appeared spindle-shaped. The expression of Vimentin and α-SMA were detected in both iHVFFs and primary fibroblasts, and enhanced expression of FAP was observed in iHVFFs. Furthermore, iHVFFs exhibited an increased proliferative capability compared with the primary fibroblasts. RT-qPCR results suggested that collagen type III alpha 1 chain (COL3A1), interleukin-6, cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2), hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in the iHVFFs significantly increased, whereas transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), elastin and matrix metallopeptidase-1 (MMP-1) expression significantly downregulated. No differences in mRNA expression of α-SMA, fibronectin and collagen type I alpha 2 chain (COL1A2) were noted between iHVFFs and primary fibroblasts.
CONCLUSION: iHVFFs can be used as a novel tool cell for future researches on the mechanisms of pathogenesis and treatment of vocal fold scarring.
