编辑人员丨4天前
目的 探讨骨碎补(rhizoma drynariae,Rhd)对骨髓腔内脂肪异常积累引起的脂毒性介导成骨细胞焦亡的影响及其机制.方法 体内构建卵巢摘除(ovariectomy,OVX)骨质疏松小鼠模型,用Rhd进行灌胃,给药 8 周后称重,取股骨组织和血清.HE染色观察髓腔内脂肪堆积状态.体外构建成脂-成骨细胞共培养系统,茜素红S(alizarin red S,ARS)染色观察钙化结节的数量,碱性磷酸酶(alkaline phosphatease,ALP)染色检测碱性磷酸酶活性水平,乳酸脱氢酶(lactate dehydrogenase,LDH)检测和Hoechst33342/PI染色检测共培养下成骨细胞(osteoblasts,OBs)焦亡水平,酶联免疫吸附试验(enzyme linked immunosorbent assay,ELISA)检测细胞培养上清液中白细胞介素-1β(interleukin-1β,IL-1β)和白细胞介素-18(interleukin-18,IL-18)的释放量,Western blot检测成骨能力相关蛋白Runt相关转录因子 2(runt-related transcription factor 2,RUNX2)、骨形态发生蛋白 2(bone morphogenetic protein,BMP2)和 1 型胶原蛋白(collagen-1,COL-1).选择NLRP3 特异性抑制剂MCC950 作为阳性对照检测焦亡相关蛋白NOD样受体热蛋白结构域相关蛋白 3(NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3,NLRP3)、半胱天冬酶-1(cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-1,CASP-1)、效应蛋白消皮素D(gasdermin D,GSDMD)、IL-1β和IL-18 的表达.结果 OVX小鼠髓腔内发生骨质流失伴大量脂肪堆积,Rhd灌胃可以有效缓解这一趋势.在成脂-成骨共培养系统中,共培养环境抑制了OBs活性和OBs中ALP 活性及矿化结节,抑制了RUNX2、BMP2、COL-1 蛋白表达,并且诱导焦亡发生,提高了LDH释放量和PI染色细胞阳性率,以及上调NLRP3、CASP-1、GSDMD、IL-1β和IL-18 蛋白表达水平.而这一趋势在Rhd干预后得到逆转.结论 大量脂肪堆积引起的脂毒性可以抑制OBs活性并通过激活NLRP3 炎症小体诱导OBs焦亡,而Rhd可能通过抑制NLRP3 炎症小体的激活以抑制OBs焦亡和炎性反应,从而起到抗骨质疏松的作用.

Icariin Ameliorates D-galactose-induced Cell Injury in Neuron-like PC12 Cells by Inhibiting MPTP Opening
编辑人员丨4天前
Objective:Icariin(ICA)has a good neuroprotective effect and can upregulate neuronal basal autophagy in naturally aging rats.Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with brain aging-related neurodegenerative diseases.Abnormal opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore(mPTP)is a crucial factor in mitochondrial dysfunction and is associated with excessive autophagy.This study aimed to explore that ICA protects against neuronal injury by blocking the mPTP opening and down-regulating autophagy levels in a D-galactose(D-gal)-induced cell injury model.Methods:A cell model of neuronal injury was established in rat pheochromocytoma cells(PC 12 cells)treated with 200 mmol/L D-gal for 48 h.In this cell model,PC12 cells were pre-treated with different concentrations of ICA for 24 h.MTT was used to detect cell viability.Senescence associated β-galactosidase(SA-β-Gal)staining was used to observe cell senescence.Western blot analysis was performed to detect the expression levels of a senescence-related protein(p21),autophagy markers(LC3B,p62,Atg7,Atg5 and Beclin 1),mitochondrial fission and fusion-related proteins(Drp1,Mfn2 and Opa1),and mitophagy markers(Pink1 and Parkin).The changes of autophagic flow were detected by using mRFP-GFP-LC3 adenovirus.The intracellular ultrastructure was observed by transmission electron microscopy.Immunofluorescence was used to detect mPTP,mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP),mitochondrial reactive oxygen species(mtROS)and ROS levels.ROS and apoptosis levels were detected by flow cytometry.Results:D-gal treatment significantly decreased the viability of PC12 cells,and markedly increased the SA-β-Gal positive cells as compared to the control group.With the D-gal stimulation,the expression of p21 was significantly up-regulated.Furthermore,D-gal stimulation resulted in an elevated LC3B Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio and decreased p62 expression.Meanwhile,autophagosomes and autolysosomes were significantly increased,indicating abnormal activation of autophagy levels.In addition,in this D-gal-induced model of cell injury,the mPTP was abnormally open,the ROS generation was continuously increased,the MMP was gradually decreased,and the apoptosis was increased.ICA effectively improved mitochondrial dysfunction to protect against D-gal-induced cell injury and apoptosis.It strongly inhibited excessive autophagy by blocking the opening of the mPTP.Cotreatment with ICA and an mPTP inhibitor(cyclosporin A)did not ameliorate mitochondrial dysfunction.However,the protective effects were attenuated by cotreatment with ICA and an mPTP activator(lonidamine).Conclusion:ICA inhibits the activation of excessive autophagy and thus improves mitochondrial dysfunction by blocking the mPTP opening.

Silencing MFN2 Drives WNT/β-catenin Nucleation to Reduce Sorafenib Sensitivity in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells
编辑人员丨4天前
Objective:Mitofusin-2(MFN2)is a mitochondrial membrane protein that plays a critical role in regulating mitochondrial fusion and cellular metabolism.To further elucidate the impact of MFN2,this study aimed to investigate its significance on hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)cell function and its potential role in mediating chemosensitivity.Methods:This study investigated the effects of silencing and overexpressing MFN2 on the survival,proliferation,invasion and migration abilities,and sorafenib resistance of MHCC97-L HCC cells.Additional experiments were conducted using XAV939(a β-catenin inhibitor)and HLY78(a β-catenin activator)to further validate these findings.Results:Silencing MFN2 significantly promoted the survival and proliferation of MHCC97-L cells,enhanced their invasion and migration capacities,increased the IC50 of sorafenib,reduced the percentage of TUNEL-positive cells,and decreased the expression of proapoptotic proteins.Additionally,silencing MFN2 markedly induced the nuclear translocation of β-catenin,increased β-catenin acetylation levels and enhanced the expression of the downstream regulatory proteins Snail 1 and Vimentin while inhibiting E-cadherin expression.Conversely,overexpressing MFN2 reversed the effects observed in MHCC97-L cells mentioned above.The results confirmed that silencing MFN2 activated the β-catenin/epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)pathway and reduced the sensitivity of cells to sorafenib,which could be reversed by XAV939 treatment.Conversely,overexpression of MFN2 inhibited the β-catenin/EMT pathway and increased the sensitivity of cells to sorafenib,which could be altered by HLY78.Conclusion:Low expression of MFN2 in HCC cells promotes the nuclear translocation of β-catenin,thereby activating the EMT pathway and mediating resistance to sorafenib.

Anti-inflammatory and DNA Repair Effects of Astragaloside Ⅳ on PC 12 Cells Damaged by Lipopolysaccharide
编辑人员丨4天前
Objective:This study aimed to establish a neural cell injury model in vitro by stimulating PC12 cells with lipopolysaccharide(LPS)and to examine the effects of astragaloside Ⅳ on key targets using high-throughput sequence technology and bioinformatics analyses.Methods:PC12 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were treated with LPS at final concentrations of 0.25,0.5,0.75,1,and 1.25 mg/mL for 24 h.Cell morphology was evaluated,and cell survival rates were calculated.A neurocyte inflammatory model was established with LPS treatment,which reached a 50%cell survival rate.PC12 cells were treated with 0.01,0.1,1,10,or 100 μmol/L astragaloside Ⅳ for 24 h.The concentration of astragaloside Ⅳ that did not affect the cell survival rate was selected as the treatment group for subsequent experiments.NOS activity was detected by colorimetry;the expression levels of ERCC2,XRCC4,XRCC2,TNF-α,IL-1β,TLR4,NOS and COX-2 mRNA and protein were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blotting.The differentially expressed genes(DEGs)between the groups were screened using a second-generation sequence(fold change>2,P<0.05)with the following KEGG enrichment analysis,RT-qPCR and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of DEGs related to the IL-17 pathway in different groups of PC12 cells.Results:The viability of PC12 cells was not altered by treatment with 0.01,0.1,or 1 μmol/L astragaloside Ⅳ for 24 h(P>0.05).However,after treatment with 0.5,0.75,1,or 1.25 mg/mL LPS for 24 h,the viability steadily decreased(P<0.01).The mRNA and protein expression levels of ERCC2,XRCC4,XRCC2,TNF-α,IL-1β,TLR4,NOS,and COX-2 were significantly increased after PC12 cells were treated with 1 mg/mL LPS for 24 h(P<0.01);however,these changes were reversed when PC12 cells were pretreated with 0.01,0.1,or 1 μmol/L astragaloside Ⅳ in PC12 cells and then treated with 1 mg/mL LPS for 24 h(P<0.05).Second-generation sequencing revealed that 1026 genes were upregulated,while 1287 genes were downregulated.The DEGs were associated with autophagy,TNF-α,interleukin-17,MAPK,P53,Toll-like receptor,and NOD-like receptor signaling pathways.Furthermore,PC12 cells treated with a 1 mg/mL LPS for 24 h exhibited increased mRNA and protein expression of CCL2,CCL11,CCL7,MMP3,and MMP10,which arc associated with the IL-17 pathway.RT-qPCR and Western blotting analyses confirmed that the DEGs listed above corresponded to the sequence assay results.Conclusion:LPS can damage PC12 cells and cause inflammatory reactions in nerve cells and DNA damage.astragaloside Ⅳ plays an anti-inflammatory and DNA damage protective role and inhibits the IL-17 signaling pathway to exert a neuroprotective effect in vitro.
