丹酚酸B抑制氧化应激引起骨髓间质干细胞凋亡的研究

目的: 观察丹酚酸B (Sal B)对氧化应激介导骨髓间质干细胞(BMSCs)凋亡的影响并探讨其作用机制。方法: 大鼠BMSCs培养鉴定后分为5组:空白对照组、氧化应激组、低浓度Sal B＋H₂O₂组、中浓度Sal B＋H₂O₂组和高浓度Sal B＋H₂O₂组。应用MTT、流式细胞仪(FCM)及Hoechst标记的方法检测Sal B对氧化应激介导的细胞活性下降以及凋亡效应的影响;通过DCF荧光染色的方法检测过氧化氢及Sal B对细胞内活性氧生成的影响;用Western blotting的方法检测p-ERK1/2表达情况。结果: MTT结果显示不同浓度的Sal B共处理BMSCs 24 h能够提高氧化应激情况下的细胞活性,其中中浓度组的作用更为明显。Hoechst标记以及FCM检测的结果表明:10 μmol/L Sal B处理能够提高细胞活性,减少凋亡数。正常组细胞的DCF阳性细胞率为28.7％±8.1％,经500 μmol/L H₂O₂刺激24 h后,阳性细胞数急剧上升,高达86.9％±12.4％。而10 μmol/L Sal B处理 组的上升不明显,仅有42.1％±10.8％。由此可见,Sal B处理可以减少细胞内活性氧的生成;细胞在氧化应激的条件下p-ERK1/2在15 min内开始上调,持续120 min。而这种上调经10 μmol/L Sal B处理可以有效降低,同时Sal B可以降低细胞基础的p-ERK1/2表达。结论: Sal B 增强BMSCs抗氧化应激能力从而减少H₂O₂刺激引起的细胞凋亡,其保护机制可能与参与调节凋亡相关信号通路MEK/ERK1/2和抑制细胞内活性氧生成有关。

Salvianolic acid B reduces apoptosis of bone marrow stem cells induced by hydrogen peroxide

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.
