目的研究丹红注射液中主要成分羟基红花黄色素A(HSYA)在Caco-2细胞单层模型的转运特征。方法MTT法确定HSYA对Caco-2细胞单层模型作用的安全浓度范围;采用Caco-2细胞单层模型考察转运时间、药物质量浓度、温度、pH值以及P-糖蛋白(P-gP)抑制剂维拉帕米和能量代谢抑制剂叠氮化钠对HSYA转运的影响;RT-PCR法检测HSYA及维拉帕米对多药耐药基因(MDR1)表达的影响。结果从顶侧(AP)到底侧(BL)(AP→BL),HSYA的表观渗透系数(Papp)在2×10-6-5×10-6cm/s,表明其吸收性中等;HSYA的转运与其质量浓度和时间呈正相关,37℃下HSYA的Papp与4、25℃下的Papp有显著差异(P〈0.01),pH值为9.0时的Papp与pH值为5.0、7.4时的Papp值也有明显差异(P〈0.01)。维拉帕米能明显下调MDR1基因的表达,但HSYA的转运不受维拉帕米的影响;叠氮化钠影响细胞能量代谢,但HSYA的转运不受能量代谢异常的影响,且Papp(BL→AP)/app(AP→BL)在1-1.5,HSYA的吸收过程基本符合被动扩散。结论HSYA在Caco-2细胞模型的转运方式为被动扩散,且不受P-gP和能量代谢的影响,低温和碱性环境下不利于HSYA的吸收。
Objective To investigate the transport characteristics of hydroxysaffior yellow A (HSYA) in Danhong Injection across Caco-2 cell monolayer. Methods Safe concentration range of HSYA against Caco-2 cell monolayer model was selected by MTT method; The effects of time, drug concentration, temperature, pH, P-gp inhibitor (Verapamil), and energy metabolism inhibitor (sodium azide) on the absorption of HSYA were observed by Caco-2 cell monolayer model; The multidrug resistance (MDRI) gene expression in Caco-2 cells was analyzed by the RT-PCR method. Results The Papp of HSYA transport from apical (AP) side to basolateral (BL) side was in 2 ×10-6 -5 × 10-6 cm/s, which showed a medium absorption. The transport of HSYAwas positively correlated with time and concentration. The Papp of HSYA transport at 37 ℃ has significant differences with those at 4 and 25 ℃ (P 〈 0.01). The Papp of HSYA transport under pH 9.0 has significant differences with those under pH 5.0 and 7.4 (P 〈 0.01). The gene expression of MDR1 was significantly reduced by Verapamil, but the transport of HSYA was not influenced by Verapamil and sodium azide, the number of Papp(BL→AP)/Papp(AP→BL) was between 1 and 1.5, so the absorption of HSYA was basically in line with the passive diffusion. Conclusion The transport of HSYA across Caco-2 cell monolayer model is passive diffusion, and is not influenced by the change of P-gp and energy metabolism. Low temperature and alkaline environment are not conducive to the absorption of HSYA.
