Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, chronic, and irreversible interstitial lung disease with unknown cause. To explore the role and regulatory mechanism of leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 15 (LRRC15) in IPF, bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mouse and A549 cells were constructed, and the expression of LRRC15 were detected. Then, MTT, GFP-RFP-LC3 dual fluorescent labeling system and Western blotting were used to investigate the effects of LRRC15 on cell activity and autophagy after transfection of siLRRC15, respectively. The results indicated that the expression of LRRC15 was significantly increased after the BLM treatment in mouse lung tissue and A549 cells. The designed and synthesized siLRRC15 followed by transfection into A549 cells resulted in a dramatic reduction in LRRC15 expression and partially restored the cell damage induced by BLM. Moreover, the expression of LC3-II and P62 were up-regulated, the amount of autophagosome were increased by GFP-RFP-LC3 dual fluorescent labeling assay after BLM treatment. Meanwhile, this study also showed that the key autophagy proteins LC3-II, ATG5 and ATG7 were up-regulated, P62 was down-regulated and autophagic flux were enhanced after further treatment of A549 cells with siLRRC15. The above findings suggest that LRRC15 is an indicator of epithelial cell damage and may participate in the regulation of fibrosis through autophagy mechanism in IPF. This study provides necessary theoretical basis for further elucidating the mechanism of IPF.
