AIM: To investigate the synergistic effect of decitabine (DCA) and valproic acid (VPA) on apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase in gastric cancer MGC-803 cells. METHODS: Gastric cancer MGC-803 cells were used in the study and divided into the following groups according to the treatment with different drugs for 72 h: DCA 1.5 μmol/L,DCA 3.0 μmol/L, VPA 1.5 mmol/L, DCA 1.5 μmol/L+VPA 1.5 mmol/L and DCA 3.0 μmol/L+VPA 1.5 mmol/L. The early and late apoptotic rates were detected by annexin V and PI staining. The cell cycle was also determined by flow cytometry. The relative nm23-H1 mRNA expression level was measured by real-time quantitative PCR. RESULTS: The apoptotic rates in VPA 1.5 mmol/L+DCA 1.5 μmol/L group (early: 33.58%±3.88%; late: 31.52%±4.20%) and VPA 1.5 mmol/L+DCA 3.0 μmol/L group (early: 42.61%±4.23%; late: 38.01%±3.86%), the percentages of the cells in G0/G1 phase in VPA 1.5 mmol/L+DCA 1.5 μmol/L group (61.55%±2.38%) and VPA 1.5 mmol/L+DCA 3.0 μmol/L group (66.75%±2.48%), and the relative nm23-H1 mRNA expression levels in VPA 1.5 mmol/L +DCA 1.5 μmol/L group (1.84±0.46) and VPA 1.5 mmol/L+DCA 3.0 μmol/L group (3.02±0.36) were all significantly higher than those in the corresponding concentrations of single drug treatment groups (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Synergistic effect of VPA and DCA on apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in gastric cancer MGC-803 cells is possibly via inactivation of nm23-H1 gene expression.  相似文献

AIM: To elucidate the mechanism of alcoholic myocardiopathy (AHMD) by exploring the role of ROS mediated oxidative stress in acetaldehyde-induced cardiomyocytes apoptosis. METHODS: Cultured rat cardiomyocytes were stimulated with acetaldehyde (100 μmol/L) for 24 h, then the cell apoptotic index were examined and compared to that with alcohol (100 μmol/L) stimulation. The changes of ROS levels and SOD activities were explored by a time-dependent model in acetaldehyde-induced cardiomyocytes. Meanwhile, the phosphorylation changes of ROS mediated MAPK signaling pathway correlated proteins were also detected, with which compared that changes both in pre-adding NAC acetaldehyde-induced cardiomyocytes, and in H2O2 (100 μmol/L) induced cardiomyocytes, respectively. RESULTS: Acetaldehyde had more obvious apoptotic effect than alcohol through caspase 3 activating (P<0.05, vs control), both cellular ROS level and SOD activity increased in a time-dependent way, and reached the peak value of (78.84%±4.33%) for ROS and (0.55±0.02) for SOD among 18 to 24 h, respectively. Meanwhile, JNK and ERK protein phosphorylation upregulated in acetaldehyde-induced cardiomyocytes, and was reversed by NAC anti-oxidative effect. However all the phosphorylation levels were weaker than that in H2O2-induced group. CONCLUSION: Acetaldehyde causes oxidative damage in cardiomyocytes through enhancing cellular ROS level, and induces cardiocytes apoptosis by activating ROS mediated JNK pathway. The novel way of depressing cellular ROS level or blocking the special apoptotic pathway may have effects on AHMD preservation and therapy.  相似文献

AIM: To probe into the role of 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate inositol (IP3) and survivin protein in apoptosis of HepG2 cells induced by genistein. METHODS: HepG2 cells were treated with 60 μmol/L genistein for 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. IP3, survivin and apoptosis rate were assayed by IP3-［3H］ Birtrak assay, Western blotting and flow cytometry, respectively. RESULTS: IP3 in groups incubated for 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h with 60 μmol/L genistein were significantly lower than that in control (P<0.01) ［(12.0±1.4) pmol/106cells, (7.5±0.8) pmol/106 cells, (5.6±0.5) pmol/106cells, (3.3±0.6) pmol/106 cells， vs (29.2±0.6) pmol/106 cells］. V-survivin/ V-β-actin, which was the gray degree multiply area of survivin/the gray degree multiply area of β-actin in groups incubated for 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h with 60 μmol/L genistein, were significantly lower than that in control (P<0.01) ［（0.36±0.13, 0.33±0.03, 0.23±0.04, 0.18±0.04）， vs 0.63±0.06］. The apoptosis rate in groups incubated with 60 μmol/L genistein for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h was significantly higher than that in control （P<0.01） ［(7.4%±0.5%, 20.5%±2.0%, 30.7%±1.6%) vs 2.6%±0.1%］. CONCLUSION: Genistein induces apoptosis in HepG2 cells by reducing IP3 production and survivin protein expression.  相似文献

AIM: The effects of selenium dioxide (SeO2) on proliferation, apoptosis, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Ca2+ levels in three leukemia cell lines NB4, K562 and HL-60 were investigated. METHODS: Three leukemia cell lines were treated with 3-30 μmol/L SeO2. Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis rate, and analyze the changes of ROS and Ca2+ level within cells. RESULTS: SeO2 at 10 and 30 μmol/L inhibited proliferation in three leukemia cell lines. Treatment with 30 μmol/L SeO2 for 48 h induced 54.0%, 46.5%, 49.6% apoptosis in NB4, K562, and HL-60 cells, respectively, and also markedly decreased ROS and Ca2+ levels among three cell lines. The rate of ROS positive cells in NB4 and HL-60 decreased with the increase in SeO2 concentrations. ROS was clearly reduced with 30 μmol/L SeO2 in K562. Ca2+ levels were tardily declined with 10, 30 μmol/L SeO2 in NB4 and HL-60 cells. Ca2+ levels were clearly reduced with 30 μmol/L SeO2 in K562. CONCLUSION: SeO2 induces apoptosis in three leukemia cells. The declines of intracellular ROS and Ca2+ levels are involved in apoptosis induced by SeO2.  相似文献

The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. The invasion ability of the LoVo cells treated with propofol at 100 μmol/L for 72 h was detected by Transwell assay. The cell cycle distribution and cell apoptotic rate were analyzed by flow cytometry. The protein levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-9, cleaved caspase-3, Notch1 and hairy and enhancer of split 1 (Hes1) were determined by Western blot.RESULTS: Propofol inhibited LoVo cell viability. The cell invasion ability, S stage cells, and the protein levels of MMP-2, MMP-9, Notch1 and Hes1 in propofol group were significantly lower than those in control group, and the apoptotic rate, G0/G1 cells and the protein level of cleaved caspase-3 were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Propofol inhibits the viability and invasion ability of colorectal cancer LoVo cells, blocks cell cycle and induces apoptosis. The mechanism is related to down-regulation of Notch1 signaling pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To study the effect of salinomycin on inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis of Gleevec-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia cell line K562/Glv. METHODS: The inhibitory effect of salinomycin on the growth of K562/Glv cells was detected by CCK-8 assay in vitro. Flow cytometry was used to observe apoptosis, mitochondria membrane potential (ΔΨm), reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the concentration of intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in K562/Glv cells. The activity of caspase-3, -8 and -9 was measured by the method of colorimetry. The levels of cytochrome C, Bcl-2, Bax, β-catenin and phosphorylated low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (p-LRP6) were determined by Western blotting. RESULTS: Salinomycin inhibited the growth of K562/Glv cells in a dose-dependent manner. Salinomycin at concentration of 0.2 μmol/L inhibited the growth of the cells with the inhibitory rate of (36.70±2.31)%. The cell apoptotic rate was (19.66±2.23)%. Salinomycin at concentration of 0.2 μmol/L decreased the level of ΔΨm, and increased the levels of ROS, cytochrome C and[Ca2+]i in the cells. Salinomycin also increased the activity of caspase-3, -8 and -9 in the cells, reduced the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax, and attenuated the levels of β-catenin and p-LRP6. CONCLUSION: Salinomycin induces the apoptosis of Gleevec-resistant myeloid leukemia cell line K562/Glv via Bcl-2/Bax and mitochondria-dependent pathways, and inhibits the cell growth through Wnt signal pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of CR6-interacting factor 1 (CRIF1) on the apoptosis of mouse cardiomyocytes (MCMs) induced by palmitic acid. METHODS: The MCMs cultured with medium containing palmitic acid at 0 and 300 μmol/L for 24 h were divided into control group and palmitic acid group, respectively. In order to explore the effects of CRIF1 on MCMs injuries induced by high fat, MCM exposed to palmitic acid at 300 μmol/L for 24 h were divided into vehicle group, scrambled (Scra) siRNA group and CRIF1 siRNA group. The cells in vehicle group were only treated with transfection reagent, the cells in Scra siRNA group were given a treatment with transfection reagent and scrambled RNA, and the cells in CRIF1 siRNA group were given a treatment with transfection reagent and CRIF1 specific siRNA. In order to further confirm the specific mechanism of CRIF1 in high fat-induced MCM injuries, MCMs in CRIF1 siRNA group were divided into DMSO group and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) group, and were given the same intervention of palmitic acid. RT-qPCR, Western blot and immunofluorescence staining were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of CRIF1. The apoptotic rate was analyzed by flow cytometry, and the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) was tested by DHE staining and ELISA. RESULTS: The expression of CRIF1 was significantly increased after exposure to palmitic acid (P<0.05). Compared with control group, the apoptotic rate was increased significantly in vehicle group and Scra siRNA group (P<0.05). The apoptotic rate was significantly increased in CRIF1 siRNA group (P<0.05). Compared with control group, the intracellular ROS content was significantly increased in vehicle group and Scra siRNA group (P<0.05). Compared with vehicle group and Scra siRNA group, the intracellular ROS content was significantly increased in CRIF1 siRNA group (P<0.05). Compared with DMSO group, the intracellular ROS content and the apoptotic rate were remarkably decreased in NAC group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: With the inhibition of oxidative stress, CRIF1 may reduce the apoptosis of MCMs induced by high fat.  相似文献

AIM: To study the influence of MG132 on the proliferation and cell cycle distribution of NK/T cell lymphoma cells, and to investigate the potential role of proteasome inhibitor on the treatment of NK/T cell lymphoma. METHODS: NK/T cell lymphoma cells HANK1 were treated with proteasome inhibitor MG132, and the proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay. The morphological changes were observed under inverse microscope. The cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were detected using flow cytometry. RESULTS: The growth inhibitory rate of HANK1 cells was(57.72±7.44)% after cultured for 24 h with 1 μmol/L MG132 and was just(3.98±0.07)% after cultured for 24 h with 0.1 μmol/L MG132. The positive relationship between the concentration of MG132 and growth inhibitory rate was observed. On the other hand, after cultured for 24 h with 1μmol/L MG132, the cells in G1 and G2 phases were(72.33±3.44)% and(12.86±1.29)%, respectively, much higher than those in control group(63.63%±2.29% and 7.94%±1.91%, respectively). The early and late apoptosis rates in MG132 group were 33.57%±2.10% and 16.66%±0.47%, respectively, much higher than that in control group (7.18%±0.82% and 3.81%±1.06%, respectively). CONCLUSION: MG132 inhibits cell proliferation and induces cell cycle arrested at G1 and G2 phases, and cell apoptosis in NK/T cell lymphoma cells in a concentration dependent manner. Proteasome inhibitor may be a good drug to treat patients with advanced NK/T cell lymphomas.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the influence of C*HSDGIC* (CHC), a cyclopeptide from the cyclization of with disulfide, on the proliferation and apoptosis of cultured human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells induced by ultraviolet B(UVB). METHODS: The expression of PACAP type 1 (PAC1) receptor in human RPE cells was identified by Western blotting. The cells were exposed to UVB irradiation and cultured in fresh medium with or without gradient concentrations (1 nmol/L to 1 mmol/L) of CHC. The viability of the cells was determined by CCK-8 assay. The early apoptosis of the cells was detected by flow cytometry with annexin V and propidium iodide staining.The mitochondrial menbrane potential was detected by flow cytometry with JC-1 staining. RESULTS: The PAC1 receptor in human RPE cells was identified by Western blotting. The best results of CHC on the proliferation and anti-apoptosis of human RPE cells were achieved at the concentration of 100 μmol/L, which increased the viability by (34.23±3.39)% and (20.10±1.48)%, respectively. The percentage of apoptotic cells was decreased by (5.63±1.49)% with CHC treatment (100 μmol/L) after UVB irradiation,and the percentage of mitochondrium-depolarizing cells was decreased by (5.2±0.5)%. CONCLUSION: PAC1 receptor exists in human RPE cells. C*HSDGIC* increases the viability of RPE cells and attenuates UVB-induced apoptosis.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) on 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP+)-induced apoptosis in rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells and to explore the relationships between its roles of anti-oxidation, intracellular calcium homeostasis and anti-apoptosis. METHODS: Rat PC12 cells were pretreated with vehicle control or EGCG (10, 50, and 100 μmol/L) for 30 min, then cultured with MPP+ (900 μmol/L) for 24 h. The cell viability and apoptosis were monitored by MTT assay and flow cytometry using Annexin V and PI. The activity of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), contents of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA), cytoplasmic Ca2+ density and apoptotic morphology of mitochondria were examined by fluorescent plate-based assays, confocal microscope, and transmission electron microscope, respectively. RESULTS: MPP+ impaired the PC12 cells in a concentration-dependent pattern and induced apoptosis of the cells (31% versus control). Compared with the control, the cells pretreated with EGCG showed markedly higher rate of viability and lower apoptosis. Meanwhile, EGCG pretreatment significantly increased the SOD activity and decreased the levels of MDA and ROS. Interestingly, EGCG also decreased the concentration of cytoplasmic Ca2+ and improved the morphology of mitochondria. CONCLUSION: EGCG exhibits inhibitory effects on MPP+-induced apoptosis in rat PC12 cells, which is possibly associated with increasing the cell ability of anti-oxidation and decreasing the concentration of cytoplasmic Ca2+.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of photoactivated curcumin on apoptosis of human gastric cancer MGC-803 cells. METHODS: The effect of photoactivated curcumin on the growth inhibitory rate of gastric cancer MGC-803 cells was detected by MTT assay. The changes of nuclear morphology were observed under optical microscope with Hoechst 33258 fluorescent staining. The apoptotic rate, mitochondrial membrane potential, intracellular reactive oxygen species and Ca2+ level was determined by flow cytometry. The activity of caspase-3, caspase-8 and caspase-9 was detected by colorimetry. The protein levels of cytochrome C, Bcl-2, Bax and heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) were analyzed by Western blotting. RESULTS: The growth inhibitory rate of MGC-803 cells treated with curcumin at concentration of 5.0 μmol/L was (29.74±2.30)%.Some apoptotic cells were observed under optical microscope, and the apoptotic rate was (12.54±1.75)%. The growth inhibitory rate of MGC-803 cells treated with photoactivated curcumin was (44.93±3.61)%.Significant morphological changes in the nucleus, such as chromatin condensation and apoptotic body formation, were observed under light microscope, and the apoptotic rate was (26.58±2.67)%. The cell cycle was arrested at G0/G1 phase. Compared with curcumin group, significant reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential,significant increase in cytochrome C, intracellular reactive oxygen species, Ca2+ level and the activity of caspase-3, caspase-8 and caspase-9 were observed in photoactivated curcumin group (P<0.01). Photoactivated curcumin also significantly inhibited the protein expression of Bcl-2 and HSP70 in the cells. CONCLUSION: Photoactivated curcumin enhances the apoptosis of gastric cancer MGC-803 cells by inhibiting Bcl-2 expression and promoting the mitochondrial pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To study the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential (△ψm) and mitochondrial mass in apoptosis of Jurkat cells induced by camptothecin (CPT). METHODS: Jurkat cells were treated with CPT. Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodine (PI) double stainig was used to detected early stage of apoptosis and PI staining for analyzing the cell cycle. Jurkat cells were stained by annexin V-PE/DiOC6(3) to detect changes of △ψm. The mitochondrial mass was measured by cytometry with NAO staining. RESULTS: 6 h after treated with 10 μmol/L CPT, the rate of early apoptotic cells (22.59±1.04)% had significantly difference compared with control group (3.93±0.73)% (P<0.01). The necrotic rate (2.48±0.53)% had no significant difference to that in control group (2.78±0.63)% (P>0.05). Apoptotic peak appeared obviously after treated with CPT, the percentage of late apoptotic cells (13.58±0.97)% had distinctly difference compared with control group (3.18±0.51)% (P<0.01). The cells in G0/G1 phase (48.14±0.96)% were much higher than that in control group (44.09±0.43)% (P<0.01). Mitochondrial depolarization was very obviously in CPT group. The percentage of annexin V+DiOC6 (3)- cells was (19.47±0.69)%, while in control group, was (4.21±0.40)% (P<0.01). Mitochondrial mass in CPT group was significantly lower than that in control group, the percentage of NAO+ cells (74.77±1.66) % had significantly difference compared with control group (92.24±1.41)% (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: During the process of CPT-induced apoptosis in Jurkat cells, mitochondrial depolarization was very obviously and mitochondrial mass decreased, indicating that the process of apoptosis is nearly related to the mitochondrial pathway.  相似文献

AIM: This study was designed to use RNA interference technique to down-regulate the expression of survivin gene in human Burkitts lymphoma cell line Daudi and to explore the effect on sensitivity of Daudi cells to adriamycin. METHODS: The survivin-shRNA expression vector was constructed and transfected into Daudi cells. Expression of survivin mRNA and protein were assessed by RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis, respectively. Apoptosis index of transfected Daudi cells was quantified by flow cytometry. The sensitivity of Daudi cells to adriamycin (ADR) before and after transfection was detected by MTT test. RESULTS: The mRNA and protein levels of survivin were down-regulated by 62.32% and 61.88%, respectively, compared to those in control-shRNA treated group and PBS treated group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the apoptosis index was significantly increased (19.10%±2.15%), compared to that in control group (4.48%±1.54%) and PBS group (4.35%±1.37%, P<0.05). The 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) of ADM to Daudi cells was significantly decreased (0.25±0.43) μmol/L, compared to that in control group (0.87±0.21) μmol/L and PBS group (0.91±0.36) μmol/L, P<0.05. CONCLUSION: Down-regulation of survivin expression in Daudi cells by shRNA effectively induces apoptosis and increases the sensitivity of Daudi cells to ADR.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) on apoptosis, adhesion ability and phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in endothelial outgrowth cells (EOCs). METHODS: The mononuclear cells were harvested from umbilical cord blood by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation, and induced into EOCs and then expanded in vitro. The endothelial characteristics of EOCs were identified by immunostaining and fluorescent staining. The EOCs were treated with different concentrations of ADMA (0, 1, 5, 10, 30 μmol/L) for 48 h. Apoptotic incidences of EOCs were quantitatively determined by flow cytometry. The morphologic changes of the apoptotic cells were visualized by DAPI staining and Annexin-V/PI staining. Adhesion ability of EOCs was measured by replacing the cells on dishes and adherent cells were counted under the inverted microscopy. The p38MAPK activity was evaluated by immunoblotting technique with phospho-p38MAPK antibody. RESULTS: EOCs possessed many endothelial characteristics. Immunostaining showed that the surface antigen factor VIII, CD34 and Flk-1 were positive. The fluorescent staining revealed that EOCs were double positive for Dil-ac-LDL-uptaking and FITC-UEA-I-lectin binding. ADMA (1-30 μmol/L) induced apoptosis of EOCs in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.01). Obvious change of apoptotic morphology in EOCs incubated with ADMA was observed with DAPI staining and Annexin-V/PI staining. ADMA (5-30 μmol/L) inhibited the adhesion ability of EOCs, whereas ADMA at concentration of 1 μmol/L had no effect. ADMA (5-30 μmol/L) induced phosphorylation of p38MAPK in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: ADMA induces apoptosis and inhibits adhesion ability in EOCs. Activated p38MAPK might be involved in the course of apoptotic effects of ADMA.  相似文献

AIM:To explore the role of extracellular signal-regulated kinases ERK1/2-STAT3 pathway in adaptive cytoprotection induced by H2O2 preconditioning in PC12 cells. METHODS:In PC12 cells, the experimental model of cytoprotection by H2O2 preconditioning against oxidative stress-induced injury was set up. The morphological changes in the apoptotic cells were observed by using of chromatin dye Hoechst 33258. The percent of apoptotic cells was determined by flow cytometry (FCM) with propidium iodide staining. The levels of p-ERK1/2 and p-STAT3 expression were detected by Western blotting assay. RESULTS:Preconditioning with H2O2 at concentration of 100 μmol/L for 90 min obviously inhibited apoptosis induced by 300 μmol/L H2O2, and both ERK1/2 and STAT3 were activated. UO126 (10 μmol/L, an inhibitor of ERK1/2) or AG-490 (10μmol/L, an inhibitor of JAK2) significantly blocked the cytoprotection effect of H2O2 preconditioning. Moreover, UO126 (10 μmol/L) also markedly inhibited the up-regulation of p-STAT3 expression by H2O2 preconditioning. CONCLUSION:H2O2 preconditioning activates ERK1/2-STAT3 signal pathway, which may be one of the mechanisms underlying H2O2 preconditioning-induced cytoprotection.  相似文献

AIM: To observe the effect of preconditioning with pioglitazone on ischemia reperfusion/hypoxia reoxygenation-induced mitochondrial ultramicro-structure and membrane potential in rats. METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham-operated (SO) group, ischemia reperfusion (IR) group, pioglitazone preconditioning group (Pio-P) and 5-HD+pioglitazone (5-HD+Pio) group. Apart from the SO group, IR, Pio-P and 5-HD+Pio groups were subjected to 30 min ischemia and 4 h reperfusion. The heart was quickly removed for observing the structure of mitochondria and measurement of the apoptosis index (AI) by TUNEL. Primary cultured cardiomyocytes of Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control, hypoxic reoxygenation (HR) and different concentrations of Pio-P group. JC-1 staining flowcytometry was adopted to examine mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). RESULTS: The injury of mitochondrial structure in IR group was severer than that in Pio-P group, while the difference between 5-HD+Pio group and IR group was not evident. Flameng score in Pio-P group(1.62±0.60) was significantly lower than that in IR group (2.75±1.09), P<0.01. AI in Pio-P group (28.19%±4.93%) was lower than that in IR group (55.44%±6.63%),P<0.05. The rates of low ΔΨm cells in (5 μmol/L,10 μmol/L and 15 μmol/L) Pio-P group were (45.89±3.63)%, (17.13±1.37)% and (18.43±2.44)%, significantly lower than that in HR group (56.52%±2.87%),P<0.05, while the difference between 10 μmol/L group and 15 μmol/L group was not significant (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Pioglitazone protects the heart from ischemia reperfusion/ hypoxia reoxygenation injury evidenced by improving mitochondrial ultrastructure and lessening the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, and decreasing apoptosis. The cardioprotective effects can be inhibited by the blocker of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels.  相似文献

AIM: To explore the production and cytotoxicity of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by diallyl trisulfide (DATS) in HL-60 cells.METHODS: HL-60 cells were either treated with various doses of DATS alone, or DATS combination with apocynin, a specific NADPH oxidase inhibitor, or with antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) for 0, 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h, respectively. The intracellular ROS level was measured by flow cytometry. The activity of NADPH oxidase was evaluated by NBT reduction experiment. The content of both malondialdehyde (MDA) and the protein carbonyl were analyzed by spectrophotometer. RESULTS: The results from flow cytometry indicated that DATS significantly increased the intracellular ROS level in HL-60 cells (P<0.05), which was dose-and time-dependent. The fluorescence intensities of ROS reached at maximum when HL-60 cells were incubated with 150 μmol/L DATS for 3 h. The NBT reduction experiment showed that DATS activated NADPH oxidase, the highest activity was observed when the cells were exposed to 150 μmol/L DATS for 3 h. DATS induced MDA and protein carbonyl production in HL-60 cells. Furthermore, both MDA and protein carbonyl reached the highest level in the cells exposed to 150 μmol/L DATS for 3 h. Apocynin and NAC attenuated the production of MDA and protein carbonyl, suggesting that ROS induced by DATS was involved in the toxicity to the cells. CONCLUSION: DATS induces ROS production through activating NADPH oxidase in HL-60 cells. ROS increases the oxidation of membrane lipid and protein in HL-60 cells.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the inhibitory effect of acetylcholine (ACh) on the apoptosis of myocardial H9c2 cells induced by norepinephrine (NE). METHODS: The apoptosis model of myocardial H9c2 cells was established by treating the cells with NE at different concentrations, and ACh was used to observed the protective effect. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay and the optimal doses of NE and ACh were selected. Four blockers related to different signaling pathways were also used. The apoptotic rate was analyzed by flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC/PI staining. JC-1 staining was used to observe the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential of the H9c2 cells. DCFH-DA staining was used to observe intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. RESULTS: The viability of H9c2 cells was decreased by treatment with NE at 10 μmol/L. The membrane potential of mitochondria was decreased, while ROS production and apoptotic rate were increased significantly (P<0.05). Pretreatment with ACh at 10 mmol/L resulted in the increase in cell viability and decrease in the ROS production, and inhibited the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and cell apoptosis (P<0.05). After treatment with the 4 signaling pathway blockers before ACh, the protective effect of ACh was significantly reduced only by PDTC. CONCLUSION: ACh inhibits the apoptosis of H9c2 cells induced by NE, and its mechanism may be related to NF-κB signaling pathway.  相似文献
