背景:前期研究已证实,烟酰胺能够促进椎间盘细胞的增殖并对白细胞介素1B致椎间盘退变起到保护作用,而烟酰胺对椎间盘退变的保护机制还不很清楚。目的:观察烟酰胺对白细胞介素1β诱导体外培养的兔椎间盘细胞凋亡及能量代谢相关基因表达的影响。设计、时间及地点:实验于2007-11/2008—05在华中科技大学同济医学院附属协和医院中心实验室完成。材料:3~4月龄日本大白兔10只,体质量1.5~2.Okg,取LM脊柱节段56个椎间盘组织,用于构建兔椎间盘组织凝胶培养模型。方法:将56枚椎间盘随机分为4组,每组14枚。正常对照组:不加入药物:烟酰胺组:加入0.5g/L烟酰胺;退变组:加入10μg/L白细胞介素1β;治疗组加入10μg/L白细胞介素1β及0.5g/L烟酰胺。培养2周后对各组标本行TUNEL染色及Fas,Caspase-3,Bcl-2,低氧诱导因子1d、葡萄糖转运体1、血管内皮细胞生长因子免疫组织化学染色。主要观察指标:各组标本TUNEL染色及免疫组织化学染色阳性细胞率。结果:TUNEL染色示加入烟酰胺后退变组阳性细胞率较正常对照组上升(P=0.001)。Fas染色退变组阳性细胞率较正常对照组明显上升(P〈0.01)。Bcl-2染色示烟酰胺组较正常对照组阳性细胞率升高(P=0.004)。Caspase-3染色示治疗组阳性细胞率较退变组下降(P=0.024),但仍高于正常对照组(P=0.006)。低氧诱导因子1d染色示烟酰胺组阳性细胞率低于正常对照组(P〈0.01);退变组阳性细胞率较正常对照组上升(P〈0.01)。葡萄糖转运体1染色示治疗组阳性细胞率高于正常对照组(P〈0.01)。结论:烟酰胺可以抑制白细胞介素1β诱导的椎间盘细胞凋亡,改善白细胞介素10导致的椎间盘能量代谢障碍。
BACKGROUND: Studies have reported that Niacinamide is capable of promoting the proliferation of intervertebral cell and protecting intervertebral disc (IVD) against interleukin-1β -induced degeneration. However, the mechanism of Niacinamide underlying protecting IVD degeneration remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the regulatory effect of Niacinamide on interleukin-1β -induced cell apoptosis and energy metabolism related gene in IVD in vitro. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Experiments were performed in the Central Laboratory of Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from November 2007 to May 2008. MATERIALS: Fifty-six IVDs from L1 6 lumbar spine of ten Japanese white rabbits, aged 3-4 months and weighing 1.5 2.0 kg, were.harvested and cultured in alginate gel for further experiments. METHODS: IVD cultured models were randomly divided into 4 groups: normal control group (with the absence of drugs), Niacinamide group (administrating 0.5 g/L Niacinamide), degeneration group (administrating 10 μg/L interleukin-1β ), treatment group (administrating 10 v g/L interleukin-1β and 0.5 g/L Niacinamide). After 2 weeks of culture, TUNEL staining and immunohistochemical staining for FAS, Bcl-2, Caspase-3, hypoxia induced factor 1 o, glucose transporter-1 and vascular endothelial cell growth factor were used to detect alternated cell apoptosis and expression of energy metabolism related genes. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The positive cell rates of TUNEL staining and immunohistochemical staining in each group. RESULTS: The rate of TUNEL positive-staining cells of degeneration group was higher than normal control group (P=0.001). The rate of FAS positive-staining cells of degeneration group was obviously higher than normal control group (P 〈 0.01). The rate of Bcl-2 positive-staining cells of Niacinamide group was higher than normal control group (P=0.004). The rate of Caspase-3 positive-staining cells of treatment gr
