目的 探讨滋阴益气活血解毒中药含药血清对脂肪酸孵育HepG2细胞中固醇调节元件结合蛋白-1c(SREBP-1c)和脂肪酸合成酶(FAS)表达的影响.方法 HepG2细胞分为对照组、模型组、15%含药血清组;对照组和模型组用正常大鼠血清DMEM培养,15%含药血清组用15%含药血清DMEM培养,模型组、15%含药血清组同时加0.5 mmol/L混合脂肪酸(油酸∶棕榈酸=2∶1);油红O染色法检测细胞内脂质沉积,RT-PCR检测HepG2细胞SREBP-1c和FAS mRNA表达,免疫组化检测HepG2细胞SREBP-1c和FAS蛋白表达.结果 15%含药血清能减少模型细胞脂质沉积,降低模型细胞SREBP-1c和FAS的mRNA及蛋白表达,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.01).结论 滋阴益气活血解毒中药含药血清能够调节SREBP-1c和FAS表达,改善混合脂肪酸诱导的HepG2细胞脂肪性变.
Objective To investigate the effects of serum with yin-enriching,qi-replenishing,and bloodactivating Chinese medicine on the expressions of SREBP-1 c and FAS in steatotic HepG2 cells.Methods HepG2 cells were randomly divided into the control group,model group,and 15% medicated serum group.The control group and model group were cultured with normal rat serum DMEM while the 15% medicated serum group was given 15% medicated serum DMEM.Moreover,mixed fatty acids (oleic acid,hexadecanoic acid =2:1) (0.5 mmol/L) were added to the model group and the 15% medicated serum group.The lipid content in HepG2 cells was analyzed by using oil red O staining method.The mRNA expressions of SREBP-1c and FAS were detected by using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).The protein expressions of SREBP-1c and FAS were detected by using the immunohistochemistry technique.Results Serum with yin-enriching,qi-replenishing,blood-activating Chinese medicine induced a decrease in lipid accumulation in 15% medicated serum group and it also down-regulated the mRNA and protein expressions of SREBP-1c and FAS in the model group.Statistically significant difference was observed (P < 0.01).Conclusion The serum medicated with yin-enriching,qi-replenishing,and blood-activating Chinese medicine improves the excessive lipid accumulation in steatotic HepG2 cells by down-regulating the expressions of SREBP-1 c and FAS.
