目的 观察富含半胱氨酸蛋白61(Cyr61)对缺氧后人肾小管上皮细胞(HK-2)氧化应激的影响,探讨Cyr61对HK-2的保护机制.方法 将HK-2细胞分为5组:空白组、Cyr61处理组、MAPK抑制剂组(Cyr61+ PD98059预处理)、p38抑制剂组(Cyr61 +SB203580预处理)、PI3K抑制剂组[Cyr61+渥曼青霉素(Wortmannin)预处理].各组细胞预处理12h后进行缺氧培养.采用四甲基偶氮唑盐(MTT)法检测缺氧前后细胞存活率,流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡率,双氯荧光黄乙酸乙酯(DCFH-DA)染色检测细胞内活性氧簇(ROS)的生成量,比色法检测细胞中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性,Western印迹法检测细胞磷酸化(p)Akt及细胞核内Nrf2蛋白表达水平. 结果 缺氧培养后空白组HK-2细胞内ROS含量和Nrf2蛋白表达增加,SOD、CAT活性下降,同时细胞存活率下降,凋亡率增高(均P<0.05).Cyr61处理组缺氧后存活率、细胞内SOD、CAT活性和p-Akt、Nrf2蛋白显著高于空白组,同时其凋亡率及ROS含量明显低于空白组(均P< 0.05).与Cyr61处理组相比,缺氧后PI3K抑制剂组HK-2细胞存活率、细胞内SOD、CAT活性和p-Akt、Nrf2蛋白显著下降,凋亡率及ROS含量显著增加(均P<0.05);而MAPK抑制剂组和p38抑制剂组HK-2细胞的各项指标同Cyr61处理组相比差异无统计学意义(均P> 0.05).结论 Cyr61可通过PI3K途径促进Nrf2表达,增强抗氧化物质SOD、CAT产生,减少ROS生成,在缺氧诱导的HK-2细胞氧化应激损伤中发挥保护作用.
Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of cysteine-rich protein 61 (Cyr61) on oxidative stress in human kidney tubular epithelial cell line after anoxia.Methods Human kidney tubular epithelial cell line (HK-2 cells) were divided into 5 groups:control group,Cyr61 group,MAPK inhibitor group (Cyr61 +PD98059),p38 inhibitor group (Cyr61 +SB203580) and PI3K inhibitor group (Cyr61+Wortmannin).Each group was pretreated for 12 h and then injured by anoxia.The cell viability was determined by MTT assay and the apoptosis rate of HK-2 cells was determined by flow-cytometry.The cellular ROS level was measured by spectro-fluorometry.The cellular superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were measured by nephelometry test.The expression of Nrf2 in HK-2 cells was detected by Western blotting.Results Anoxia enhanced the expression of ROS and Nrf2,decreased the expression of SOD and CAT significantly,meanwhile decreased HK-2 viability and increased HK-2 apoptosis (all P 〈 0.05).Cyr61 increased the expression of p-Akt,Nrf2,SOD and CAT in HK-2,and decreased the expression of ROS,at the same time increased HK-2 viability and decreased HK-2 apoptosis (all P 〈 0.05).Wortmannin inhibited the expression of p-Akt,Nrf2,SOD and CAT,meanwhile decreased HK-2 viability and increased HK-2 apoptosis (P 〈 0.05).PD98059 and SB203580 had no affect on HK-2 compared to Cyr61 group (P〉0.05).Conclusions Cyr61 promotes the expression of Nrf2 through PI3K pathway in HK-2,which enhances the expression of SOD and CAT,and decreases the expression of ROS.Cyr61 exhibits protective effects on HK-2 cells injured by oxidative stress after anoxia.
