目的:研究山茱萸环烯醚萜苷(CIG)对蛋白磷酸酶抑制剂冈田酸(OA)拟阿尔茨海默病(AD)细胞模型中神经细胞凋亡的影响及其作用机制。方法:CIG与人神经母细胞瘤细胞系SK—N—SH细胞预孵育24h,再用OA 10nmol与神经细胞共孵育6h,用TUNEL法观察凋亡细胞的变化,用蛋白免疫印记法观察凋亡因子B细胞淋巴瘤(Bcl-2)、Bcl-2相关X蛋白(Bax)和细胞凋亡蛋白酶(Caspase-3)的表达。结果:正常对照细胞铺展良好,未出现凋亡细胞;OA模型组凋亡细胞显著增多,Bax和Cas~pase3的表达水平显著增高,Bcl-2的表达水平显著下降;CIG(100和200μg·mL^-1)给药组凋亡细胞较OA模型组显著减少,Bax和Caspase-3表达水平显著降低,Bcl-2表达显著增高。结论:CIG能通过影响凋亡调节因子而抑制神经细胞凋亡,提示该药可能具有治疗AD的艮好应用前景。
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects and the mechanisms of cornel iridoid glycoside (CIG) on antiapoptosis in cellular model of alzheimer disease(AD) induced by the protein phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid (OA). METHODS: The human neuroblastoma cell line SK N- SH cells were preincubated with CIG for 24 h, and then incubated with OA 10 nmol for 6 h. The changes of apoptotic cells were observed by TUNEL method. Western blotting was used to determine the expression of apoptosis-regulating factors Bcl - 2, Bcl 2 related X protein(Bax) and Caspase - 3. RESULTS: The normal SK - N - SH cells spread well and no apoptotic cells appeared. In OA-treated model group, the number of apoptotic cells increased signif- icantly, the expressions of Bax and Caspase- 3 increased significantly, but Bcl- 2 expression decreased significantly. In CIG (100 and 200μg · mL^-1) -treated group, the number of apoptotic cells decreased significantly as compared with OA- treated model group, and the expressions of Bax and Caspase- 3 decreased significantly whereas Bcl 2 expression increased significantly. CONCLUSION: CIG can inhibit the apoptosis of nerve cells through affecting apoptosis-regulating factors, suggesting its potential as a therapy for AD.
