Caspase 3抑制剂抑制羟基喜树碱对人乳腺癌Bcap37细胞NF-κB的激活

目的： 探讨caspase 3抑制剂Ac-DEVD-CHO对caspase 3和NF-κB信号转导途径的影响。方法:采用MTT法测定细胞的增殖活力，琼脂糖凝胶电泳观察细胞凋亡，流式细胞仪进行细胞周期分析，Western blotting和DIG-EMSA研究细胞凋亡途径。结果:Caspase 3抑制剂Ac-DEVD-CHO可抑制羟基喜树碱(HCPT)对Bcap-37诱导的凋亡，抑制Pro-caspase 3的裂解，并能抑制IκBα 蛋白降解，阻止NF-κB活化。结论:Caspase 3抑制剂Ac-DEVD-CHO除特异性抑制Pro-caspase 3的裂解外，还可以抑制HCPT对Bcap37细胞NF-κB的活化。

Caspase 3 inhibitor Ac -DEVD -CHO attenuates 10 -hydroxycamptothecin- induced activation of NF- κB in Bcap37 cells

AIM:To investigate the role of caspase 3 inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO in caspase 3 signaling pathway and NF-κB activation induced by 10-hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) in human breast carcinoma cells. METHODS:The cell growth inhibition was measured by MTT assay. Agarose gel electrophoresis was performed for detecting cell apoptosis. Western blotting was used for determining protein expression. DIG-EMSA was conducted to measure the DNA-binding activation of NF-κB. RESULTS:Caspase 3 inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO attenuated HCPT-induced apoptosis in human breast carcinoma. Ac-DEVD-CHO also suppressed the degradation of caspase 3 and IκBα,and arrested the activation of NF-κB. CONCLUSION:Caspase 3 inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO regulates the activation of caspase 3 and NF-κB,and attenuates apoptosis in Bcap37 cell line induced by HCPT.
