摘要:
Objective To investigate the cellular viability and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production of the Müller cells under high glucose condition,and explore the protection role of the 5,6-dihydrocyclopenta-1,2-dithiole-3-thione (CPDT) on Müller cells.Methods Müller cells from Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups randomly,including 25 mmol/L normal glucose group (group A) and 65 mmol/L high glucose group (group B).High glucose group with 45,60,70 μmol/L CPDT and cultured them 72 hour was set as group C,D and E.Water soluble tetrazolium salt (WST)-8 was used to measure the cellular viability.Flow cytometry was used to measure the active oxygen and apoptosis index.The expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2),hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1),Bcl-2 and Bax protein were measured by Western blot.Results Compared with group A,the WST-8 showed that the viability of Müller cells apparently decreased in group B (t=39.59,P<0.05).Compared with the group B,the viability of Müller cells had changes in group C (t=0.97,P>0.05),but recovered in group D and E (t=-4.17,-7.52;P<0.05).Compared with group A,the FCM showed that the mitochondrial ROS levels was higher in group B (t=-30.99,P<0.05).Compared with group B,the mitochondrial ROS levels were decreased in group D (t=27.68,P<0.05).Compared with group A,Bax,Nrf2 and HO-1 increased (t=-11.03,-63.17,-11.44;P<0.05),while the bcl-2 decreased in group B (t=7.861,P<0.05).Compared with the group B,Nrf2,HO-1 and Bax decreased (t=15.11,26.59,6.27;P<0.05),while the bcl-2 increased in group D (t=-6.53,P<0.05).Conclusions Under the high glucose,CPDT may reduce the mitochondrial ROS levels and the expression of Nrf2,HO-1 and Bax protein of Müller cells.It may inhibit apoptosis through activating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and balancing of level of Bcl-2 protein and mitochondrial ROS.%目的 观察5,6-二氢环戊烯1,2-二硫杂环戊烯-3-硫酮(CPDT)对高糖环境下大鼠视网膜Müller细胞活性及其线粒体活性氧(ROS)生成量的影响,初步探讨CPDT对高糖环境下Müller细胞的保护作用及其机制.方法 Sprague Dawley大鼠Müller细胞分为25 mmol/L对照组(A组)、65 mmol/L高糖(B糖)组、高糖+45 μmol/L CPDT组(C组)、高糖+60 μmol/L CPDT组(D组)、高糖+70 μmol/L CPDT组(E组).培养72 h后,水溶性四唑盐(WST)-8法检测各组Müller细胞的细胞相对增生率;流式细胞仪测定各组Müller细胞ROS生成量及细胞凋亡率;蛋白免疫印迹法(Western blot)测定Müller细胞中核因子-E2相关因子2(Nrf2)、血红素合晦-1 (HO-1)、B细胞淋巴瘤/白血病-2(Bcl-2)和Bcl相关X蛋白(Bax蛋白)表达的变化.结果 WST-8法检测结果显示,与A组比较,B组Müller细胞活性明显下降,差异有统计学意义(t=39.59,P<0.05).与B组比较,C组Müller细胞活性无明显提高,差异无统计学意义(t=0.97,P>0.05);D、E组Müller细胞活性恢复,差异有统计学意义(t=-4.67、-7.52,P<0.05).流式细胞仪检测结果显示,与A组比较,B组Müller细胞中ROS生成量增加,差异有统计学意义(t=-30.99,P<0.05);与B组比较,D组Müller细胞中ROS含量明显下降,差异有统计学意义(t=27.68,P<0.05).Western blot检测结果显示,与A组比较,B组Müller细胞Bax、Nrf2、HO-1蛋白表达显著上调,差异有统计学意义(t=-1 1.03、-63.17、-11.44,P<0.05);Bcl-2蛋白表达明显下调,差异有统计学意义(t=7.861,P<0.05).与B组比较,D组Müller细胞Nrf2、HO-1、Bax蛋白表达均下调,差异有统计学意义(t=15.11、26.59、6.27,均P<0.05);Bcl-2蛋白表达上调,差异有统计学意义(t=-6.53,P<0.05). 结论 CPDT降低高糖环境下Müller细胞中ROS含量,下调Nrf2、HO-1、Bax蛋白表达;其机制与激活Nrf2/HO-1氧化应激通路,改变Bcl-2蛋白之间的平衡性,影响线粒体氧自由基量生成,从而抑制细胞凋亡有关.
