目的探索金属硫蛋白Ⅰ/Ⅱ(MetallothioneinⅠ/Ⅱ,MTⅠ/Ⅱ)对丙烯酰胺诱导星形胶质细胞损伤的保护作用。方法采用新生C57野生型(MT+/+)和MT敲除型(MT-/-)小鼠进行大脑皮层星形胶质细胞原代培养,并采用免疫细胞化学法鉴定细胞纯度。MT+/+和MT-/-两种细胞分别给予0.01、0.1和1 mmol/L丙烯酰胺处理,于不同时间点检测其细胞存活率,乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)漏出率和细胞凋亡率。结果细胞培养至15 d,两种细胞在形态学上无明显差异,细胞纯度达到90%以上。丙烯酰胺低剂量组(0.01 mmol/L)作用24 h后,MT-/-细胞存活率明显低于MT+/+,高剂量组(1 mmol/L)作用时间短于24 h,可见MT+/+细胞的存活率明显高于MT-/-,随着作用时间延长后,未见明显差异。丙烯酰胺作用24 h后,LDH漏出率和细胞凋亡率均随剂量依赖性增加,且丙烯酰胺中低剂量组(0.01和0.1 mmol/L)MT-/-细胞LDH漏出率和凋亡率明显高于MT+/+细胞。结论 MTⅠ/ⅡI对丙烯酰胺引起的星形胶质细胞损伤具有一定的保护作用。
Objective To investigate the effects of metallothioneinⅠ/Ⅱ in acrylamide-induced injury in astrocytes.Methods Primary cultured astrocytes were obtained from cerebral cortex of 1 to 3 d old MT+/+(wild type) and MT-/-(MT-knock out type) mice.The cells purity was identified by immunocytochemical method.MT+/+and MT-/-astrocytes were exposed to acrylamide(0.01,0.1 and 1mmol/L) for various periods.Cell viability,LDH leakage and apoptosis rate were evaluated.Results No obvious differences were found in the morphorlogy of MT+/+and MT-/-up to 15 days culture in vitro,and the cell purity was 90% as determined by immunocytochemical method.Acrylamide treatment decreased the cell viability by concentration-dependent manner in both MT+/+and MT-/-astrocytes.The cell viability of MT+/+astrocytes was higher than that of MT-/-astrocytes after treated with acrylamide at 0.01 mmol/L for 24 h.In the cells treated with acrylamide at 1 mmol/L,MT+/+astrocytes showed higher viability than MT-/-cells after 6 - 24 h exposure,but no significant difference was found between MT+/+and MT-/-cells as the exposure periods were extended.Both the LDH leakage and apoptosis rate in MT-/-astrocytes were higher than that in MT+/+cells following treatment with acrylamide at 0.01 and 0.1 mmol/L.Conclusion These results indicate that metallothioneinⅠ/Ⅱ can protect astrocytes against acrylamide-induced injury.
