目的 探讨瑞舒伐他汀对肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)诱导的人骨髓间充质干细胞(MSC)凋亡的影响及其机制.方法 以TNF-α诱导建立MSC凋亡的模型,分为对照组(以PBS干预)、TNF-α组(TNF-α干预6h)、TNF-α+他汀组(瑞舒伐他汀预处理后,TNF-α干预)、TNF-α+他汀+antago-miRNA组(先予antago-miRNA-210转染MSC,之后干预同TNF-α+他汀组).采用MTT法、TUNEL以及caspase-3活性检测法比较各组MSC凋亡水平.以实时定量聚合酶链反应检测MSC内miRNA-210的表达水平.结果 TNF-α+他汀组MSC内caspase-3活性低于TNF-α组(1.63±0.25比2.05±0.36,P<0.05),TUNEL法提示TNF-α+他汀组凋亡水平低于TNF-α组[(16.87±9.27)%比(33.74±6.57)%,P<0.05].TNF-α干预呈浓度依赖性地降低MSC胞内miRNA-210表达水平.而TNF-α+他汀组MSC内miRNA-210表达水平高于TNF-α组(P<0.05).TUNEL法提示TNF-α+他]+ antago-miRNA组细胞凋亡率高于TNF-α+他汀组[(42.58±6.71)%比(16.87±9.27)%,P<0.05],同时TNF-α+他汀+antago-miRNA组胞内caspase-3水平高于TNF-α+他汀组(2.31 ±0.22比1.77±0.33,P<0.05).结论 瑞舒伐他汀预处理可改善TNF-α诱导的MSC凋亡情况,而miRNA-210参与介导了这一抗凋亡的保护作用.
Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of rosuvastatin on tumor necrosis factor-α induced human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) apoptosis.Method Human MSCs were treated as follows:(1) culture medium; (2) TNF-α (20 μg/ml) for 6 h; (3) rosuvastatin (20 μmol/L) for 24 h; (4)rosuvastatin (20 μmol/L) for 24 h followed by TNF-α (20 μg/ml) for 6 h ; (5) TNF-α + rosuvastatin + 50nmol/L antago-miRNA; (6) TNF-α + rosuvastatin + 100 nmol/L antago-miRNA.Cell survival and apoptosis were determined by MTT,TUNEL and caspase-3 activity assay.The changes of miRNA-210 in each group were detected with quantitative PCR.Result TNF-α significantly induced human MSCs apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner,and pretreatment with rosuvastatin significantly reduced MSCs apoptosis (caspase-3 assay:TNF-α + Statin group vs.TNF-α group:(1.63 ± 0.25) vs.(2.05 ± 0.36),P < 0.05).Meanwhile,TNF-α progressively reduced the expression of miRNA-210 in human MSCs in a dose-dependent manner,while the miRNA-210 expression was significantly upregulated in TNF-α + Statin group (P < 0.05).The protective effect of rosuvastatin on TNF-α induced MSCs apoptosis was largely abolished by co-treatment with 100 nmol/L antago-miRNA(TUNEL:TNF-α + Statin + antago-miR group vs.TNF-α +Statin group:(42.58 ±6.71)% vs.(16.87 ±9.27)%,P < 0.05).Conclusion Pretreatment with rosuvastatin can significantly improve the viability of human MSCs after TNF-α injury,the protective mechanism of rosuvastatin is partly mediated through miRNA-210 up-regulation.
