AIM: To study the effect of 6-gingerol on the apoptosis of rat nucleus pulposus cells and its possible mechanism. METHODS: Rat nucleus pulposus cells were isolated and cultured. The effects of 6-gingerol and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at different concentrations on the viability of nucleus pulposus cells were measured by CCK-8 assay. After 6-gingerol treatment, the protein level of p-Akt was determined by Western blot. The cells were divided into 4 groups:control group, H2O2 group, 6-gingerol group (6-gingerol + H2O2) and LY294002 group (6-gingerol + H2O2 + LY294002). The apoptotic rate and the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were analyzed by flow cytometry. TUNEL fluorescence staining was used to observe the number of apoptotic cells. The morphological changes of mitochondria were observed under transmission electron microscope, and Western blot was used to determine the protein levels of caspase-3, Bcl-2, Bax, p-Akt, Akt and p53. The mRNA expression of aggrecan and type II collagen was measured by RT-qPCR. RESULTS: The results of CCK-8 assay showed that the optimal concentration of 6-gingerol for promoting the viability of rat nucleus pulposus cells was 24 mg/L, and the exposure condition of H2O2 at 80 μmol/L for 6 h was appropriate for establi-shing the cell damage model. 6-Gingerol increased the protein level of p-Akt in a time-dependent manner. The apoptotic rate, ROS level and TUNEL positive cells in H2O2 group were significantly increased compared with control group. The mitochondrial edema was obvious in H2O2 group compared with control group. The protein levels of pro-apoptotic molecules caspase-3, Bax and p53 were significantly increased, while anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, and mRNA expression of aggrecan and type II collagen were significantly decreased compared with control group (P<0.05). 6-Gingerol exerted a protective effect against H2O2-induced apoptosis and promoted the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins. However, this effect was weakened after treatment with PI3K/Akt signaling pathway inhibitor LY294002. CONCLUSION: H2O2 induces damage and dysfunction of rat nucleus pulposus cells, and 6-gingerol may inhibit H2O2-induced apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells by activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) on H2O2-induced oxidative damage in PC12 cells and its possible mechanism. METHODS: A moderate oxidative damage PC12 cell model was induced by exposure of the PC12 cells to H2O2. ALC at different concentrations (100, 200 and 400 μmol/L) was applied to the PC12 cells cultured in vitro, and CCK8 assay was used to detect the cell viability. The cells were divided into control group, H2O2 group, and low-ALC, medium-ALC and high-ALC groups. The apoptosis of the cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. The protein levels of Nrf2 and cleaved caspase-3 were determined by Western blot. The nuclear translocation of Nrf2 was observed by immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS: ALC at different concentrations (100, 200 and 400 μmol/L) significantly inhibited H2O2-induced PC12 cell apoptosis, and the medium concentration group had the best effect. Compared with H2O2 group, low, medium and high concentrations of ALC significantly increased the viability of the PC12 cells induced by H2O2, inhibit cell apoptosis (P<0.05), significantly down-regulated the protein level of cleaved caspase-3 (P<0.05), up-regulated the protein level of Nrf2 (P<0.05), and promoted the translocation of Nrf2 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. CONCLUSION: Acetyl-L-carnitine attenuates H2O2-induced oxidative damage of PC12 cells, inhibits the apoptosis and increases the viability, which is related to the activation of Nrf2 signaling pathway.  相似文献

AIM To study the effect of microRNA-153-3p (miR-153-3p) knock-down on oxidative injury of H9C2 cells induced by H2O2 and its specific mechanism. METHODS The oxidative stress injury of H9C2 cell model was induced by H2O2, and then the cell viability and the expression of miR-153-3p were detected by MTT assay and RT-qPCR, respectively. The effects of miR-153-3p knock-down on the H9C2 cell injury under oxidative stress were studied by RNA interference technology. The targets of miR-153-3p were identified by Western blot and dual-luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS MTT assay showed that the viability of H9C2 cells was decreased with the increase in H2O2 concentration (P<0.05). The results of RT-qPCR showed that the expression of miR-153-3p was increased with the increase in H2O2 concentration (P<0.05). Knock-down of miR-153-3p increased the viability of H9C2 cells under oxidative stress, decreased the cell apoptosis and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA), and increased the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD). The expression of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2（Nrf2） and antioxidant response element（ARE） activity were increased with the increase in H2O2 concentration (P<0.01). TargetScan analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assay showed that Nrf2 was one of the potential target genes of miR-153-3p. The results of Western blot further showed that over-expression of miR-153-3p inhibited the expression of Nrf2 (P<0.01), while down-regulation of miR-153-3p increased the expression of Nrf2 (P<0.01). Dual interference with Nrf2 and miR-153-3p significantly reduced H9C2 cell viability, promoted the apoptosis, increased MDA content, and decreased SOD activity in the presence of H2O2 (P<0.01). CONCLUSION Inhibition of miR-153-3p expression attenuates the injury of H9C2 cells induced by H2O2 through up-regulating Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of total flavonoids of onion (FO) on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative damage in retinal pigment epithelial cells. METHODS: The retinal pigment epithelium ARPE-19 cells were divided into 5 groups:control group, H2O2 group (treated with H2O2), FO-L+H2O2 group (treated with H2O2 and low concentration of FO), FO-M+H2O2 group (treated with H2O2 and medium concentration of FO) and FO-H+H2O2 group (treated with H2O2 and high concentration of FO). The cell viability was measured by MTT assay. Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. DCFH-DA staining was used to detect reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in the cells. WST assay was used to detect superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. The content of malonaldehyde (MDA) was measured by TBA method. Mitochondrial membrane potential was analyzed by JC-1 staining. The protein levels of cytochrome C (Cyt C) in the cytoplasm, and cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9 in the cells were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Treatment with H2O2 decreased ARPE-19 cell viability, increased the apoptotic rate and the level of ROS in the cells, decreased SOD activity, increased the content of MDA, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, and increased the protein levels of Cyt C in the cytoplasm and cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9 in the cells (P<0.05). Compared with H2O2 group, the cell viability in FO-L+H2O2 group, FO-M+H2O2 group and FO-H+H2O2 group was increased, the apoptotic rates were decreased, the levels of ROS were decreased, SOD activity was increased, the content of MDA was decreased, mitochondrial membrane potential was increased, the protein level of Cyt C was decreased in the cytoplasm, and the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9 protein in the cells were decreased gradually (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Total flavonoids of onion reduce H2O2-induced oxidative damage in retinal pigment epithelial cells.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of ecdysterone (EDS) on H9c2 cardiomyocytes after oxidative stress. METHODS: H9c2 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into control group, high dose (2 μmol/L) of EDS group, middle dose (1.5 μmol/L) of EDS group, low dose (1 μmol/L) of EDS group, and H2O2 group. H9c2 cardiomyocytes in H2O2 group and high, middle and low doses of EDS groups were exposed to H2O2 for 6 h to establish the model of oxidative stress. The viability of the H9c2 cells was detected by CCK-8 assay. The apoptosis of H9c2 cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. The levels of lactate dehydogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) in the culture medium, and the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the H9c2 cells were measured by colorimetry. The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the mitochondrial membrane potential were evaluated by flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The protein levels of Bax, Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3 in the H9c2 cells were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Ecdysterone at the selected concentrations had no effect on the viability of H9c2 cells. Compared with control group, the levels of LDH, CK-MB, ROS and MDA, and the apoptotic rates of the H9c2 cells were significantly increased after treated with H2O2, but were decreased by EDS treatment in a dose-dependent manner. The levels of SOD and mitochondrial membrane potential of the H9c2 cells in H2O2 group were reduced significantly compared with control group, but high, middle and low doses of EDS treatments up-regulated the levels of SOD and mitochondrial membrane potential in H2O2-treated H9c2 cells. The protein levels of Bax and cleaved caspase-3 in the H9c2 cells in H2O2 group showed significant elevation in comparison with control group, and the protein expression of Bcl-2 declined in H2O2 group compared with control group, but high, middle and low doses of ecdysterone treatments down-regulated the protein levels of Bax, cleaved caspase-3 and up-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 in H2O2-treated H9c2 cells. CONCLUSION: Ecdysterone attenuates the effect of H2O2-induced oxidative stress on H9c2 cardiomyocytes. The mechanism may be involved in scavenging oxidative stress products, increasing antioxidant enzyme activity and improving mitochondrial function.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of cobalt chloride (CoCl2) on the apoptosis of neural stem cells (NSCs) and the expression of microRNA-26a (miR-26a) in vitro, and to explore the mechanisms of NSC apoptosis induced by CoCl2. METHODS: NSCs were exposed to CoCl2 at different doses (200~600 μmol/L) for 24 h. The cell viability and apoptosis were measured by CCK-8 assay and TUNEL method. The expression of miR-26a-3p, miR-26a-5p, GSK-3β, caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax was examined by real-time PCR. The protein levels of Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: The cell viability was inhibited and the apoptosis of NSCs was increased significantly by CoCl2 in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). CoCl2 at concentration of 400 μmol/L for 24 h was used to induce apoptosis and the expression of miR-26a was down-regulated compared with control (P<0.05). Exposure to CoCl2 at concentration of 400 μmol/L up-regulated the expression of GSK-3β, caspase-3 and Bax, down-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-2/Bax (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: CoCl2 at concentration of 400 μmol/L induces the apoptosis of NSCs obviously. CoCl2 may induce the NSC apoptosis by mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Declining miR-26a may be related to NSC apoptosis.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRα) on melanocyte apoptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). METHODS: Melanocyte PIGI was used as the research object. After exposed to H2O2 at different concentrations, the cell viability was detected by MTT assay. The PIGI cells were transfec-ted with empty vector pCMV6 or PDGFRα over-expression vector pCMV6-PDGFRα. The transfection efficiency was determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot. The effect of H2O2 on the viability of the PIGI cells after over-expression of PDGFRα was measured by MTT assay. The cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. The protein levels of p38, p-p38 and cleaved caspase-3 in the cells were detected by Western blot. DCDHF-DA was used to estemate the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cells. RESULTS: The viability of PIGI cells decreased after exposed to H2O2 (P<0.05), and the half maximal inhibitory concentration of H2O2 was 0.7 mmol/L. Transfection with PDGFRα over-expression vector successfully induced high expression of PDGFRα at mRNA and protein levels in the PIGI cells, and increased the viability of the cells with H2O2 treatment (P<0.05). Over-expression of PDGFRα decreased the apoptotic rate of PIGI cells treated with H2O2 (P<0.05), and the level of ROS in the cells (P<0.05). The protein levels of cleaved caspase-3 and p-p38 were also decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: PDGFRα inhibits the apoptosis of melanocytes induced by H2O2, partially reverses the growth inhibition of melanocytes by H2O2, and decreases the ROS level. The mechanism may be related to regulating the protein levels of p-p38 and cleaved caspase-3 in the cells.  相似文献

AIM: To study the effect of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) on oxidative stress injury of human endothelium-like EA.hy926 cells induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). METHODS: The EA.hy926 cell model of oxidative stress injury was established by H2O2 treatment. The EA.hy926 cells were divided into 5 groups:control group, damage (H2O2 at 50 mmol/L) group, LBP (100 mg/L) group, anti-damage groups (LBP at 50 mg/L, 100 mg/L or 200 mg/L+50 mol/L H2O2), and LY294002 (20 μmol/L) group. The effect of LBP at different concentrations on the cell viability of EA.hy926 cells was measured by CCK-8 assay, and the optimum concentration of LBP was screened out. The apoptotic of EA.hy926 cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. Acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) staining was used to observe the morphological characteristics of the apoptotic cells. The cell migration ability was detected by scratch method. The levels of nitric oxide (NO) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the cell culture medium were examined. The protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, Bax, Bcl-2, endothelial NO synthase (eNOS), p-eNOS and p-Akt were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: LBP at concentration of 100 mg/L significantly attenuated the injury of EA.hy926 cells induced by H2O2, as indicated by improved cell viability (P<0.05) and decreased apoptosis (P<0.05). Pretreatment with LBP elevated the levels of NO and VEGF (P<0.05), and promoted the migration ability of EA.hy926 cells. LBP also increased the Bcl-2/Bax ratio, down-regulated the protein level of cleaved caspase-3, and up-regulated the protein levels of eNOS and p-eNOS. The protective effect of LBP were abolished by pretreatment of the EA.hy926 cells with the inhibitor of PI3K (P<0.05). As a result, the protein level of p-Akt was down-regulated, and the level of NO was also significantly reduced. CONCLUSION: LBP has protective effect on H2O2 -induced EA.hy926 cells by attenuating apoptosis of the cells. The mechanism is closely related to the activation of PI3K/Akt/eNOS signaling pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To study the effects of adiponectin on H2O2-induced cell injury and tau hyperphosphorylation in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. METHODS: Cell viability was determined by MTT assay. H2O2-induced cell injury and morphological changes in the SH-SY5Y cells with or without adiponectin treatment were observed. The level of tau phosphorylation as well as the activities of protein phosphatase 2A(PP2A) and of glycogen synthase kinase-3β(GSK-3β) were examined by Western blotting. RESULTS: Adiponectin significantly attenuated H2O2-induced cell injury(P<0.01). Adiponectin upregulated the activity of PP2A and decreased phosphorylation levels of tau under the stimulation with H2O2 (P<0.01). Okadaic acid, a specific inhibitor of PP2A, blocked the protective effects of adiponectin(P<0.01). Adiponectin increased the phosphorylation level of GSK-3β at Ser9 site under H2O2 stimulation(P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Adiponectin protects SH-SY5Y cells against H2O2-induced cell injury and decreases tau hyperphosphorylation by activating PP2A and inactivating GSK-3β.  相似文献

AIM: To study the protective effect of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on vascular endothelial cells with H2O2-induced oxidative injury. METHODS: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured in vitro, and the oxidation injury model of HUVECs was established by treatment with H2O2. The oxidatively injured HUVECs were cultured with different concentrations (1, 10 and 100 μg/L) of BDNF. At the same time, the control group (no injury), PBS treatment after H2O2 injury group and TrkB inhibitor group (with 100 μg/L BDNF and 1: 1 000 TrkB inhibitor) were also set up. The viability of the HUVECs was detected by MTT assay. The levels of LDH, MDA, SOD and GSH were measured. The releases of NO, ET-1 and ICAM-1 were analyzed by ELISA. The changes of ROS production and cell apoptosis were evaluated by flow cytometry. The protein levels of TrkB, p-TrkB, cleaved caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with uninjured control group, in H2O2 oxidative injury plus PBS treatment group, the viability of the cells was decreased significantly, the LDH and MDA levels were increased significantly and the activities of SOD and GSH were decreased significantly. The NO secretion was decreased, and the ET-1 and ICAM-1 concentrations were increased significantly. The ROS content and apoptotic rate were increased significantly. The protein levels of cleaved caspase-3 and Bax were increased but Bcl-2 protein expression was decreased significantly. Compared with PBS treatment group, in H2O2-injured HUVECs treated with different concentrations of BDNF, the cell viability was gradually increased, the LDH and MDA levels were decreased and the activities of SOD and GSH were increased gradually. The secretion of NO was increased but ET-1 and ICAM-1 were decreased gradually. The ROS content and apoptotic rate were decreased significantly. The TrkB and p-TrkB levels were significantly increased significantly, the protein expression of cleaved-caspase 3 and Bax was decreased gradually and the Bcl-2 protein expression increased gradually. The role of BDNF was inhibited by TrkB inhibitor. CONCLUSION: BDNF protects HUVECs from oxidative injury by binding with TrkB to activate the BDNF-TrkB signaling pathways.  相似文献

AIM: To evaluate the effect of senegenin (Sen) on H2O2-treated retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and to explore its underlying mechanisms. METHODS: RGCs were retrograde labeled by injection of fluorogold into the superior colliculi of SD rats on the postnatal day 3. On the postnatal days 6 to 8, the retinas were dissociated with papain and cultured. Primary RGCs cultured in vitro were treated with H2O2 and/or various doses of Sen. The viability of RGCs was evaluated by counting the fluorescence-labeled neurons under microscope. The morphological changes of the nuclei in the retinal neurons were observed by Hoechst 33258 staining. Western blotting was applied to determine the expression of cleaved caspase-3, cytochrome C and Bcl-2 in cultured retinal neurons. RESULTS: Compared with the control cells, Sen at doses of 10, 20 or 40 μmol/L had no toxicity to RGCs (P>0.05). However, Sen at doses of 80 and 160 μmol/L had significant toxicity to RGCs (P<0.01). Compared with H2O2-injured group, Sen at doses of 10, 20 and 40 μmol/L effectively protected against H2O2-induced injury in RGCs (P<0.05) with the best efficiency at 40 μmol/L. Hoechst 33258 staining showed that the neuronal apoptosis caused by H2O2 was reduced by Sen. The results of Western blotting showed an up-regulation of Bcl-2, and decreased cytochrome C and cleaved caspase-3 levels by Sen in H2O2-treated retinal neurons. CONCLUSION: Sen is able to protect RGCs from H2O2-induced injury by enhancing Bcl-2 expression and inhibiting cell apoptosis.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of microRNA-422a (miR-422a) on the damage of rat adrenal gland pheochromocytoma PC12 cells induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). METHODS: The expression of miR-422a in the PC12 cells treated with H2O2 was detected by real-time PCR. After miR-422a mimics were transfected into PC12 cells, the cell viability was measured by MTT assay, the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage rate was detected, and the apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. Target gene prediction software was used to predict that sex-determining region Y box 6 (SOX6) may be the target gene of miR-422a. Luciferase reporter assay was used to identify the targeting relationship. miR-422a mimics and SOX6 over-expression vector were co-transfected into the PC12 cells. The effects of SOX6 over-expression on the viability, LDH leakage rate and apoptosis of PC12 cells treated with H2O2 and transfected with miR-422a mimics were evaluated. RESULTS: The expression of miR-422a in the PC12 cells was decreased after treatment with H2O2 (P<0.05). The viability of PC12 cells treated with H2O2 was decreased, and the LDH leakage rate and apoptotic rate were increased. Transfection with miR-422a mimics enhanced the viability of PC12 cells treated with H2O2, and the leakage rate of LDH and apoptotic rate of the PC12 cells were reduced. The expression of SOX6 was negatively regulated by miR-422a. SOX6 over-expression reversed the effects of miR-422a on PC12 cell viability, LDH leakage and apoptosis. CONCLUSION: miR-422a reduces the damage of PC12 cells induced by H2O2 via targeting SOX6.  相似文献

AIM: To observe the effect of senegenin (Sen) on hippocampal neuron injuries induced by H2O2.METHODS: Hippocampal neurons were isolated from neonatal SD rats. The primarily cultured neurons were divided into control group, H2O2 group, Sen group and Sen+H2O2 group. The cell viability, the content of malondialdehyde(MDA) and the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) in the neurons were detected after treated with Sen. The morphological changes of nucleus of the neurons were observed by Hoechst 33258 staining. The mRNA expression of bcl-2 and bax was quantified by real-time PCR. The protein levels of Bcl-2 and bax were measured by Western blotting. The activity of caspase-3 was also assayed.RESULTS: Compared with H2O2 group, the levels of antioxidative enzyme were increased in Sen+H2O2 group (P<0.05). In addition, mRNA expression of bcl-2 increased and that of bax decreased (P<0.05) in Sen+H2O2 group. Moreover, Sen increased the protein level of Bcl-2, and reduced the protein level of Bax and the activity of caspase-3 in the neurons exposed to H2O2 (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The protective effect of Sen on hippocampal neurons with H2O2 -induced injury may be involved in the mechanisms of  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of astragalosides on autophagy and apoptosis of rat cardiomyocytes induced by hydrogenperoxide (H2O2).METHODS: The injury model of H9c2 cells induced by H2O2 was established, and the cells in astragalosides group and rapamycin group were treated with 20 mg/L astragalosides and 0.1 mg/L rapamycin, respectively. The apoptotic rate was detected by flow cytometry. The autophagy was observed by acridine orange staining. Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of p-mTOR, P70S6K, LC3 and caspase-3. RESULTS: Compared with H2O2 group and rapamycin group, the viability of H9c2 cells in astragalosides group was significantly increased (P<0.05). The shape of the H9c2 cells in astragalosides group was complete, the nuclei were stained with yellow-green fluorescence, and the chromatin was distributed evenly. The protein levels of p-mTOR and P70S6K in the H9c2 cells of astragalosides group were significantly increased (P<0.05), whereas the protein levels of LC3, cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-3 in the H9c2 cells of astragalosides group were decreased significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Astragalosides enhance the viability, inhibit the apoptosis, increase the protein levels of p-mTOR and P70S6K, and decrease the protein levels of LC3, cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-3 in the H2O2-induced rat myocardial H9c2 cells. The mechanism is related to the mTOR signaling pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of mollugin on the viability and collagen synthesis of rat hepatic stellate cell line CFSC-2G. METHODS: The activation of CFSC-2G cells was induced with low concentration (10 μmol/L) of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for 30 min in the experiment. The viability of the CFSC-2G cells after exposed to mollugin at different concentrations (0, 20, 40, 60 and 120 μmol/L) was detected by MTT assay. The mRNA and protein expression levels of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Bax, and hepatic stellate cell activation markers α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and collagen type I (Col Ⅰ) were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot. The phosphorylation level of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) was determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Mollugin significantly inhibited the viability and collagen synthesis of activated CSFC-2G cells induced by H2O2. The expression of Nrf2, HO-1 and Bax at mRNA and protein levels, and the phosphorylation level of p38 MAPK were promoted, while the levels of NF-κB p65, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, α-SMA and ColⅠwere inhibited by mollugin (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Mollugin may inhibit H2O2-induced viability and collagen synthesis of the CSFC-2G cells by activating Nrf2 and HO-1, and blocking the NF-κB p65 and Bcl-2 expression.  相似文献

AIM: To observe the effect of docosahexaenoic acid(DHA) on H2O2-induced apoptosis in human retinal pigment epithelium cells and its molecular mechanism. METHODS: Human retinal pigment epithelium cell line ARPE-19 was cultured in vitro, and 12.5 mmol/L H2O2 was used to mimic the oxidative stress condition. The cells were treated with 30~100μmol/L DHA for 4~24 h. The expression of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) at mRNA and protein levels was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively. The enzymic activity of HO-1 was measured by colorimetry. Production of reactive oxygen species(ROS) was determined by fluorescent probe. Activation of NF-E2-related factor 2(Nrf2) was examined by immunofluorescence method. Apoptosis of ARPE-19 cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS: The mRNA and protein expression and the enzymic activity of HO-1 were significantly increased in the ARPE-19 cells after DHA treatment. Meanwhile, nuclear translocation of Nrf2 was also observed. Apoptosis appeared and ROS was produced upon H2O2 incubation. In contrast, DHA at 100μmol/L significantly abrogated H2O2-induced apoptosis and ROS production. Furthermore, silencing of HO-1 by specific siRNA, or treatment with ZnPP, an inhibitor of HO-1, partly counteracted the protective effect against H2O2-induced apoptosis and ROS production. CONCLUSION: DHA protects retinal pigment epithelial cells against oxidative stress via induction of heme oxygenase-1 expression after Nrf2 activation.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of salvianolic acid B (Sal B) on apoptosis of rat bone mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs) induced by hydrogen peroxide(H2O2). METHODS: BMSCs were incubated with Sal B at the concentration of 1, 10 or 100 μmol/L while treated with lethal concentration of H2O2 (500 μmol/L). The effect of Sal B at different concentrations on the viability of BMSCs was detected by MTT. Flow cytometry were used to determine the protective role of Sal B in apoptosis of BMSCs. The changes of chromatin distribution in BMSCs were observed by Hoechst 33342 staining. The expression of p-ERK1/2 was detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: Sal B protected the BMSCs against H2O2 as the cell viability was increased from (53.60±4.21)% to (85.33±9.08)% or (75.78±6.28)% in a dose-dependent manner. After exposed to H2O2, about 50%-65% BMSCs displayed apoptotic morphology. Treatment with Sal B at the concentrations of 10 and 100 μmol/L reduced the cytotoxic effect of H2O2 on BMSCs to about 32% and 47%, respectively. The results of flow cytometric analysis confirmed the cytoprotective effect of Sal B. This protective effect was concomitant with significant reduction of ROS generation. Moreover, H2O2 time-dependently induced a pronounced increase in ERK1/2 phosphorylation,which was effectively inhibited by Sal B.CONCLUSION: Sal B protects BMSCs against H2O2-induced apoptosis. Sal B may exert its protective effect on BMSCs by triggering intracellular anti-apoptosis mechanism as well as reducing the oxidative stress.  相似文献

AIM: To study apoptotic injury induced by reactive oxygen species-hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on cardiac myocytes.METHODS:Cultured rat neonatal cardiac myocytes were treated with H2O2 of various concentration to observe apoptotic injury of cardiomyocytes by agarose gel electrophoresis, Giemsa-stained smears of cell, and flow cytometry, meanwhile lactate dehydrogenas (LDH) and malondialdehyde(MDA) were determined to assess the effect of H2O2 on lipid peroxidation and permeability of the plasma membrane. RESULTS: 5 mmol/L H2O2 caused cultured cardiomyocytes apoptotic morphological characteristics, including nucleosomal DNA fragmentation in myocytes by agarose gel electrophoresis (DNA ladder), cell shrinkage, nuclear condensation, and chromatin margin by Giemsa-stained cell smears, and aneuploid peak(AP)-apoptotic bodies occurrence by flow cytometry.CONCLUSIONS: H2O2-induced apoptosis in myocytes was a time-and concentration-dependent process. Treatment with low concentration of H2O2(＜1 mmol/L) only caused cardiomyocyted early biochemical changes, such as increase of free radicals level and membrane permeability ,which were pro-apoptotic injurious features. High concentration of H2O2 (＞10 mmol/L) rapidly induced a necrotic form of death characterized by smeared patterns of DNA digestion on agarose gel electrophoresis and lethal membrane disruption (as measured by LDH release). Exposure of 5~10 mmol/L H2O2 induced cardiomyocytes apoptosis concurrently with biochemical changes of LDH and MDA increase in the medium.  相似文献
