人参皂苷Rg1对细胞光老化模型中p53信号转导途径的影响

目的观察人参皂苷Rg1对光老化p53信号转导途径中相关基因损伤及蛋白表达水平的影响。方法采用8-MOP/UVA(8-methoxypsoralen and subsequent ultraviolet A irradiation)联合处理人皮肤成纤维细胞建立光老化模型,用流式细胞周期分析、SA-β-半乳糖苷酶(senescence associatedβ-galactosidase)化学染色,免疫荧光及Western blot等方法检测人参皂苷Rg1对培养真皮成纤维细胞多项细胞衰老指标及p53信号途径中蛋白表达的影响。结果人参皂苷Rg1可明显抑制细胞和组织老化的指标表达(包括SA-β-Gal表达减少及细胞周期G1阻滞率降低);减少基因氧化应激损伤产物8-oxo-dG及老化相关蛋白p53,p21WAF-1及p16INK-4a的表达。结论人参皂苷Rg1可能通过缓解基因的氧化应激损伤,抑制相关信号转导,从而缓解细胞光老化进程。

Ginsenoside-Rg1 protects human dermal fibroblasts against 8-methoxypsoralen plus ultraviolet A-induced photoaging through p53-dependent signaling pathways

Aim To investigate the roles of p53-dependent signaling pathways in the process of ginsenoside Rg1 protection against 8-methoxypsoralen(8-MOP) and subsequent ultraviolet A(UVA) irradiation induced photoaging model in human dermal fibroblasts(HDFs).Methods Photoaging model was established by 8-MOP/UVA in skin HDFs.Flow cytometry, enzyme cytochemistry, immunofluorescence and Western blot were employed.Results Pretreatment with ginsenoside Rg1 could significantly reduce the amount of UVA-generated 8-oxo-dG and relieve the photoaging representation.Compared with 8-MOP/UVA treatment group, pretreatment with Ginsenoside Rg1 could decrease the expression of SA β-galatosides(SA-β-Gal), and down-regulate the level of senescence associated proteins(p16 and p21).Conclusions Ginsenoside Rg1 has prominent dose-dependent antagonism on senescence of skin HDFs induced by 8-MOP/UVA, and its mechanism may be due to its antioxidation which reduces the production of photoproducts to protect telomere against abnormal shortening.
