目的 探讨容量敏感外向整流性(VSOR)氯通道在H2O2介导系膜细胞凋亡中的作用和可能的机制。方法 全细胞膜片钳技术用于检测VSOR氯电流。细胞凋亡通过吖啶橙/溴化乙锭荧光染色、电子显微镜、TUNEL染色和半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶(caspase)-3活性确定。结果 150μmol/L H2O2激活系膜细胞VSOR氯电流,H2O2激活的氯电流具有典型的VSOR氯电流电生理特性,包括:外向整流性、电压依赖性失活。对细胞外高渗透压敏感及被VSOR氯通道阻断剂抑制。VSOR氯通道阻断剂DIDS(100μmol/L),NPPB(10μmol/L)和尼氟灭酸(10μmol/L)明显抑制H2O2介导的系膜细胞凋亡。150μmol H2O2处理2h内,细胞容量明显下降,但这种细胞容量下降被100μmol/L DIDS,10μmol/L NPPB和10μmol/L尼氟灭酸抑制。结论 VSOR氯通道参与H2O2介导的系膜细胞凋亡,其机制与介导凋亡性容量下降有关。
Objective To investigate the role of volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying (VSOR) chloride channels in mesangial cell apoptosis induced by H2O2. Methods VSOR chloride current was recorded in whole cell configuration. The apoptosis was evaluated by AO/EB staining, transmission electron microscopy, TUNEL staining and caspase-3 activity. Cell volume was measured by Lag-time microphotography. Results Application of 150μmol/L H2O2 led to activation of VSOR Cl^- conductance in mesangial cells. H2O2^-indueed Cl^- current showed phynotypieal properties of VSOR Cl^- channels, including outward rectification, voltage-dependant inactivation at large positive potentials, sensitiveness to hyperosmolarity, inhibition by VSOR Cl^- channel blockers. Moreover, blockage of VSOR Cl^- by DIDS (100μmol/L), NPPB (10 μmol/L) or niflumic acid (10 Ixmol/L) rescued mesangial cells from H2O2-indueed apoptotie cell death. Treatment for 2 hours with 150μmol/L H2O2 resulted in significant reduction in cell volume. However, the early-phase alterations in cell volume were markedly abolished by pretreatment with VSOR Cl^- channel blockers. Conclusion VSOR Clchannels are involved in H2O2-induced apoptosis of mesangial cells and its mechanism is associated with the decrease of apoptotic volume (AVD).
