京尼平抑制高糖诱导的大鼠心肌H9c2细胞氧化应激及凋亡损伤

目的:探讨京尼平(genipin,GEN)对高糖损伤的大鼠心肌H9c2细胞的抗氧化作用和抑制细胞凋亡的机制。方法:体外培养大鼠心肌H9c2细胞,高浓度(50 mmol/L)葡萄糖处理H9c2细胞建立细胞损伤模型,分为正常糖对照组(NC组,葡萄糖浓度为5.6 mmol/L)、高糖损伤组(HG组,葡萄糖浓度为50 mmol/L)、正常糖+京尼平组(NC+GEN组)和高糖+京尼平组(HG+GEN组,京尼平浓度为10μmol/L)。CCK-8法检测细胞活力;酶标法和WST-1法分别测定细胞内丙二醛(MDA)含量和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性;微板法检测细胞培养上清液中乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)活性;荧光探针DCF检测细胞内活性氧簇(ROS)水平;ELISA法检测核小体片段的聚集值;线粒体膜电位检测试剂盒(JC-1)检测细胞内线粒体膜电位变化;利用Western blot法检测线粒体内抗氧化酶锰超氧化物歧化酶(Mn-SOD),以及早期凋亡蛋白细胞色素C(Cyt C)、Bax和cleaved caspase-3的蛋白水平。结果:与HG组比较,HG+GEN组细胞活力显著升高(P <0.05),细胞内MDA的含量及细胞上清液中LDH的活性明显降低(P <0.05),细胞内SOD活性升高(P <0.05),细胞内线粒体膜电位明显升高(P <0.05),ROS水平降低(P <0.05),核小体片段聚集程度显著降低(P <0.05)。HG组线粒体内抗氧化酶Mn-SOD比NC组降低(P <0.05),但线粒体内凋亡蛋白Cyt C、Bax和cleaved caspase-3的蛋白水平比NC组显著升高(P <0.05),而HG+GEN组与HG组相比,Mn-SOD升高(P <0.05),Cyt C、Bax和cleaved caspase-3的蛋白水平显著降低(P <0.05)。结论:京尼平对高糖损伤的心肌H9c2细胞具有抗氧化保护作用和抑制细胞凋亡的作用。

Genipin inhibits oxidative stress and apoptotic damage in high glucose-induced H9c2 cardiomyocytes

AIM:To explore the effects of genipin (GEN) on high glucose (HG)-induced oxidative stress injury and apoptosis in H9c2 cardiomyocytes.METHODS:H9c2 cells were cultured in vitro and HG-induced injury model was established. H9c2 cells were divided into 4 groups:normal control (NC) group (glucose at 5.6 mmol/L), HG group (glucose at 50 mmol/L), NG+GEN group and HG+GEN group. The concentration of genipin was used at 10 μmol/L. The viability of the H9c2 cells was measured by CCK-8 assay. The intracellular malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were determined by enzyme labeling and WST-1 methods, respectively. The activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the cell culture supernatant was detected by microplate method. Fluorescent probe DCF was used to detect intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Nucleosome fragments was measured to evaluate cell apoptosis by ELISA. The intracellular mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by JC-1 method. The protein levels of Mn-SOD, cytochrome C (Cyt C), Bax and cleaved caspase-3 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS:Compared with HG group, the cell viability in HG+GEN group was increased significantly (P<0.05), the levels of MDA and LDH were decreased (P<0.05), SOD activity was increased (P<0.05), the levels of ROS and nucleosome fragments in HG+GEN group were decreased (P<0.05), and the mitochondrial membranes potential was notably increased (P<0.05). Compared with NG group, the activation of Mn-SOD was decreased, but the protein levels of Cyt C, Bax and cleaved caspase-3 were increased in HG group (P<0.05). Compared with HG group, the activation of Mn-SOD was increased, and the protein levels of Cyt C, Bax and cleaved caspase-3 were decreased in HG+GEN group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Genipin protects HG-induced H9c2 cardiomyocytes against oxidative stress injury and apoptosis.
