目的研究染料木黄酮(Gen)对β淀粉样肽25-35(Aβ25-35)介导的星形胶质细胞氧化损伤中Nrf2/ARE通路相关因子的调节作用。方法以星形胶质细胞(C6细胞系)作为研究对象,用Aβ25-35染毒制备氧化损伤模型。实验共分4组:对照组、Aβ组(Aβ模型组)、Gen干预组(Gen+Aβ组)及Gen组(Gen单独处理组);采用RT-PCR方法和WesternBlot方法检测星形胶质细胞核因子E2相关因子2(Nrf2)、血红素加氧酶(HO-1)、γ-谷氨酰半胱氨酸合成酶催化亚单位(GCLC)及锰超氧化物歧化酶(MnSOD)基因和蛋白的表达。结果与Aβ组比较,Gen干预组和Gen组星形胶质细胞Nrf2、HO-1、GCLC及MnSOD基因和蛋白表达水平显著上调(P〈0.05)。结论染料木黄酮可能通过调控Nrf2/ARE通路来拮抗Aβ25-35介导的星形胶质细胞氧化损伤作用。
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of genistein (GEN) on the Nrf2/ARE pathway related factors during protection of oxidative damage induced by β-amyloid peptides (Aβ25-35) in astrocytes ( C6 cells). Methods Astrocytes was cultured for 48hrs. Aβ25-35 (25p, mol/L) was used to establish oxidative damage model in astrocytes. Four groups are control group, Aβ group, Gen-treated group ( Gen + Aβ group) and Gen group ( solo- Gen group). Gen (50 μmol/L) was applied 2 hrs piror to the addition of Aβ25-35. After 24 hrs pretreatment, cells were harvested fur assays. The mRNA and protein expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) , heine oxygenase-1 (HO-1), catalytic subunit of glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCLC) and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) in astrocytes were tested by RT-PCR and Western Bolt. Results Comparing with Aβ group, the mRNA and protein expression of Nrf2, HO-1, GCLC and MnSOD significantly increased in Gen-treated group and Gen group ( P 〈 0.05). Conclusion Genistein could inhibit the oxidative damage induced by Aβ25-35 in astrocytes through regulating Nrf2/ARE pathway related factors.
