Objective  To explore the effectiveness of the transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) inducing human bronchial epithelial(HBE) cells to optimize epithelia-mesenchymal transformation(EMT) model. Methods  Blank control, TGF-β1 10 ng/ml, TNF-α 10 ng/ml, TGF-β1 10 ng/ml+TNF-α 10 ng/ml induced human epithelial cells for 24 hours. Then the change of morphological alteration were observed by applying CCK8, cells migration assay and Western blot technique. Results  When TGF-β1 plus TNF-α induced human epithelial cells for 24 hours, most of HBE cells traits changed including morphological alteration from cobblestone to fusiform, connection between cells vanishing, intercellular space broadening. In the experiments of checking cell migration capacity by the vitro scratch test, the group spacing was 420.06±10.38 μm in the blank control group, 499.86±34.00 μm in the TGF-β1 10 ng/ml group, 514.93±10.56 μm in the TNF-α 10 ng/ml group, 569.68±33.58 μm in the TGF-β1 10 ng/ml+TNF-α10 ng/ml group. TGF-β1 cooperated with TNF-α led to scratch spacing narrowing significantly. Western blot analysis showed that expression of E-cadherin and Vimentin varied significantly in the TGF-β1+TNF-α group. Conclusion  Inducing human bronchial epithelial cell by TGF-β1 cooperated with TNF-α optimizes EMT model.
