英文摘要 | in proteinuric nephropathy, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (emt) is an important mechanism that causes renal interstitial fibrosis. the precise role of emt in the pathogenesis of fibrosis remains controversial, partly due to the absence of suitable in vitro or in vivo models. we developed two microfluidic and compartmental chips that reproduced the fluidic and three-dimensional microenvironment of proximal tubular epithelial cells in vivo. using one microfluidic device, we stimulated epithelial cells with a flow of healthy human serum, heat-inactivated serum and complement c3a, which mimicked the flow of urine within the proximal tubule. we observed that epithelial cells exposed to serum proteins became apoptotic or developed a mesenchymal phenotype. incubating cells with c3a induced similar features. however, cells exposed to heat-inactivated serum did not adopt the mesenchymal phenotype. furthermore, we successfully recorded the cellular morphological changes and the process of transmigration into basement membrane extract during emt in real-time using another three-dimensional microdevice. in conclusion, we have established a cell-culture system that mimics the native microenvironment of the proximal tubule to a certain extent. our data indicates that emt did occur in epithelial cells that were exposed to serum proteins, and c3a plays an essential role in this pathological process.
