目的探讨高迁移率族蛋白1(HMGBl)基因沉默对氧糖剥夺/复氧导致的星形胶质细胞损伤的保护作用。方法将星形胶质细胞分为对照组、模型组、HMGB1siRNA组、非特异性siRNA组。模型组星形胶质细胞在无糖DMEM培养基、1%O,的培养条件下行2、4、6h的氧糖剥夺后复氧至24h。HMGBlsiRNA组星形胶质细胞在氧糖剥夺/复氧前转染载有HMGBl干扰序列的慢病毒,然后氧糖剥夺6h复氧至24h。采用RT.PCR和Westernblotting检测各组星形胶质细胞HMGBlmRNA及蛋白的表达状况,ELISA法测定星形胶质细胞培养上清液中HMGBl蛋白的浓度变化,并通过乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)漏出率、MTT法检测星形胶质细胞的损伤情况及存活率。结果RNA干扰可明显抑制星形胶质细胞HMGBl蛋白的表达(p〈0.01),RT.PCR及ELISA法检测显示,与对照组相比,模型组星形胶质细胞HMGBlmRNA表达量和细胞培养上清液中HMGBl的浓度均有所增加(P〈0.01),且随着氧糖剥夺时间的延长呈上升趋势(P〈0.01)。与对照组相比,模型组星形胶质细胞明显损伤,随着氧糖剥夺时间的延长,星形胶质细胞损伤加重,LDH漏出率逐渐增高(P〈0.01),存活率逐渐下降(P〈0.01);与模型组相比,HMGBlsiRNA组细胞损伤明显减轻,LDH漏出率水平明显下降(P〈0.01),细胞存活率显著上升(P〈0.01)。结论通过RNA干扰技术可抑制星形胶质细胞HMGBl的表达。HMGBl过表达可能是氧糖剥夺/复氧后引起细胞损伤的重要因素之一。
Objective To investigate the protective effect of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) gene silence on astrocyte injury caused by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) in vitro. Methods Astrocytes were divided into control group, OGD/R group and HMGB1 siRNA group. Astrocytes in OGD/R group were cultured with glucose free DMEM under 1% 02 condition, then they were treated with OGD for 2, 4 and 6h respectively, and then reoxygenated for 24h. In HMGB1 siRNA group, astrocytes that transfected with HMGB1 small interference RNA (siRNA) lentivirus-vector were treated with OGD 6h, and then reoxygenated for 24h. After 24h reoxygenation, the mRNA and protein expression of HMGB 1 in the astrocytes were determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting. HMGB1 protein in culture supernatant of astrocytes was determined by ELISA. The cell injury and survival rate were assessed by LDH activity (LDH%) and MTT assay. Results Compared with the astrocytes without transfection of HMGB 1 siRNA lentivirus-vector, the protein expression of HMGB 1 was suppressed by siRNA. Compared with the control group, with prolongation of the OGD time, the mRNA and protein expression of HMGB 1 increased gradually (P〈0.0S) after OGD/R, and it further increased with elapse of time. OGD resulted in significant injuries with time extention, and the LDH% increased (P〈0.05) with marked lowering of survival rate (P〈0.05). Compared with the OGD/R group, cell injury in HMGB1 siRNA group alleviated remarkably, and survival rate was elevated si!~nificantly (P〈O.O1). Conclusion The expression of HMGB1 in astrocvtes can be inhibited by siRNA, and over-expression of HMGB 1 might be an important factor in 0 GD/R-induced cell iniury.
