枸杞多糖对慢性辐射小鼠细胞凋亡及bc1-2基因表达的影响

目的:探讨枸杞多糖(LBP)对辐射小鼠细胞凋亡及凋亡相关基因bcl-2表达的影响。方法:以水提取-乙醇沉淀法制备枸杞多糖,并制成0.8%的饲料,给予受试小鼠(枸杞多糖组)。正常对照组、辐射对照组给予普通饲料。除正常对照组外,另两组均用60Coγ射线对动物进行全身性照射,每天照射1次,每天照射剂量为0.084Gy,每周照射5d,连续照射6w,照射总剂量为2.52Gy。检测骨髓微核率、睾丸精母细胞染色体畸变、精子畸形率、肝细胞caspase-3mRNA表达水平、细胞凋亡及凋亡相关基因bc1-2表达等指标。结果:LBP可使辐射引起的微核率、染色体畸变、及精子畸形率显著降低,骨髓细胞增殖活性提高,凋亡率降低,使辐射小鼠bc1-2基因表达提高、caspase-3mRNA表达水平降低。结论:枸杞多糖的抗辐射作用与其调控细胞bc1-2基因表达,影响细胞凋亡有关。

EFFECTS OF POLYSACCHARIDE FROM LYCIUM BARBARUM ON CELL APOPTOSIS AND bc1-2 GENE EXPRESSION IN IRRADIATED MICE

Objective:To study the effects of polysaccharide from Lycium barbarum (LBP) on cell apoptosis and bc1-2 gene expression in irradiated mice. Methods:Forty eight Kunming mice were divided into three groups (LBP group, radiation group and normal group). LBP chow was prepared through adding 0.8%LBP to normal chow and was supplied to LBP group. Normal chow was supplied to normal group and radiation group. LBP group and radiation group were exposed to whole-body 60Co γ-rays at the dose of 0.084 Gy/day for 6 w, five times a week and the total dose was 2.52Gy. Then the micronucleus frequency of polychromatic erythrocytes(MF),chromosome and sperm aberration frequency, caspase-3 mRNA expression, cell apoptosis and bcl-2 gene expression were detected. Results:LBP could significantly lower MF, chromosome and sperm aberration frequency, and cell apoptosis , and it could increase the proliferation activity of bone marrow cells and bc1-2 gene expression in irradiated mice and decrease caspase-3 mRNA expression.Conclusion:The radioprotective effect of LBP is related to regulation of cell apoptosis and bc1-2 gene expression.
