醛固酮诱导MIN6细胞凋亡及作用机制研究

摘要

Objective To investigate the effects of aldosterone on apoptosis of tnurine pancreatic islets B cell line MIN6, and explore its possible mechanism. Methods Murine pancreatic islets B cell line MIN6 cultured in vitro was divided into control group (treated with serum-free DMEM culture medium), aldosterone group (treated with 10, 100 or 1 000 nmol/L aldosterone) and aldosterone + aldosterone antagonist group ( treated with 100 nmol/L aldosterone and 100 nmol/L aldactone). Cell viability was determined by MTT assay, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion ( GSIS) was measured by radioimmunoassay, cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry in combination with FITC-Annexin V/PI fluorescein staining, Caspase-3 activity in supernatant of culture fluid was determined by ELISA, and the expression of apoptosis-related proteins of cytochrome C(Cyt-C), Bcl-2, Bax and phosphorylated protein kinase C ( p-Akt) was detected by Western blotting. Results The viability of MIN6 cells decreased with the increase of concentrations of aldosterone, with a concentration-dependent manner. Under physical glucose concentration (5.6 mmol/L) and high glucose concentration (28 mmol/L) environment, GSIS of aldosterone group was significantly lower than that of control group ( P <0. 01), and GSIS of aldosterone + aldosterone antagonist group was significantly higher than that of aldosterone group ( P < 0. 01). The cell apoptosis ratio of aldosterone group was significantly higher than that of control group ( P <0.01), and the cell apoptosis ratio of aldosterone + aldosterone antagonist group was significantly lower than that of aldosterone group (P < 0. 01). Compared with control group, the Caspase-3 activity and expression of Cyt-C were significantly higher, and Bcl-2/ Bax and the expression of p-Akt were significantly lower ( P < 0. 01 for all), while aldosterone antagonist significantly inhibited aldosterone-mediated Caspase-3 activity increase and abnormal expression of related proteins. Conclusion Aldosterone enhances apoptosis of MIN6 cells, which may be associated with Cyt-C, Bcl-2, Bax and Akt-mediated mitochondria signaling pathway.%目的 探讨醛固酮对小鼠胰岛B细胞株MIN6细胞凋亡的影响及可能的作用机制.方法 体外培养的小鼠胰岛B细胞株MIN6分为对照组(加入无血清的DMEM培养基)、醛固酮组(加入10、100、1 000 nmol/L醛同酮进行干预)和醛固酮+拮抗剂组(以100 nmol/L醛固酮和100 nmol/L醛固酮拮抗剂螺内酯共同干预).采用MTT法检测细胞活性;放射免疫分析法检测葡萄糖刺激的胰岛素分泌(GSIS);流式细胞术结合FITC-Annexin V/PI荧光染色检测细胞凋亡;ELISA法检测细胞培养上清液中Caspas-3活性;Western blotting法检测凋亡相关蛋白细胞色素C(Cyt-C)、Bcl-2、Bax和磷酸化蛋白激酶C(p-Akt)的表达.结果 MIN6细胞增殖活性随醛固酮干预浓度的升高而下降,呈现浓度依赖性.在生理糖浓度(5.6 mmol/L)和高葡萄糖浓度(28 mmol/L)环境中,醛固酮组的GSIS均显著低于与对照组(P＜0.01),而醛固酮+拮抗剂组GSIS显著高于醛固酮组(P＜0.01).醛固酮组细胞凋亡率显著高于对照组(P＜0.01),而醛固酮+拮抗剂组细胞凋亡率显著低于醛固酮组(P＜0.01).与对照组比较,醛固酮组Caspase-3活性明显升高,Cyt-C表达上调,Bcl-2/Bax下降,p-Akt表达下调(均P＜0.01);而醛固酮+拮抗剂组对醛固酮组的Caspase-3活性升高及相关蛋白表达异常具有明显抑制作用.结论 醛固酮具有促进MIN6细胞凋亡的作用,其作用机制可能与Cyt-C、Bcl-2、Bax和Akt介导的线粒体信号途径有关.
