简介:目的探讨12/15-脂氧合酶抑制剂黄芩素(Baicalein)对硝普钠(SNP)诱导的软骨细胞凋亡的抑制作用及可能机制。方法取8周雄性SD大鼠膝关节软骨,采用Ⅱ型胶原酶消化法提取软骨细胞并体外培养。设置对照组、SNP凋亡组和Baicalein给药组,以0.5mMSNP作用24小时诱导软骨细胞凋亡,以5μM,25μM,50μM,100μM不同浓度的Baicalein作用细胞,确定最适浓度,对照组仅加入同体积溶剂(蒸馏水)。CCK8法检测药物对细胞毒性;AnnexinV/PI双染法检测细胞凋亡;免疫荧光观测凋亡诱导因子(AIF)在软骨细胞中的定位。结果Baicalein在各浓度下对软骨细胞无明显毒性,与对照组相比,凋亡组软骨细胞活性明显下降(P<0.01),与凋亡组相比,给药组细胞活性浓度依赖性地升高(P<0.01);流式检测显示对照组软骨细胞早期凋亡率3.16%,凋亡组27.8%,100μMBaicalein给药组14.1%;免疫荧光检测显示,凋亡组AIF出现核内移位,100μMBaicalein给药组AIF核移位受到抑制。结论Baicalein通过抑制12/15-脂氧合酶活性,进而抑制AIF从线粒体中的释放及核转位,发挥抗软骨细胞凋亡作用。

简介:目的:筛选ATP结合盒E1(ABCE1)基因的相关调节miRNA,为诊治肺癌提供新思路。方法选取20例非小细胞肺癌患者,其中男性13例,女性7例;年龄45~73岁,平均年龄62.9岁。鳞癌11例,腺癌9例。应用生物信息学预测ABCE1基因上游的miRNA,通过实时定量聚合酶链反应(RT-Q-PCR)及免疫组织化学方法,对标本非小细胞癌组织和癌旁组织进行检测,并进行统计学分析,从中筛选出目的miRNA。结果生物信息软件预测7个最有可能调节ABCE1基因的miRNA,分别为miR-29a/b/c、miR-135a/b、miR-203及miR-141;其中miR-29a/b/c、miR-135a、miR-203的表达在癌组织内较癌旁组织都有不同程度的降低,以miR-135a、miR-29c差异最为明显,与之对应ABCE1在相同的肺癌组织内表达上调(P〈0.05);仅miR-135a与ABCE1在上述肺癌患者内表达呈现负性相关(r=-0.665,P=0.001)。结论在非小细胞肺癌内,很有可能是miR-135a负性调节ABCE1基因,两者结合可能成为诊治肺癌的新靶点。
