四硫代钼酸铵作为新型硫化氢供体的鉴定及其对皮肤细胞的保护作用

 目的: 本研究旨在检测金属络合物四硫代钼酸铵(ATTM)的硫化氢(H₂S)释放能力并进一步观察其减轻氧化应激诱导的皮肤细胞损伤的作用。方法:反应瓶法检测ATTM在细胞培养基中释放的H₂S,二氯二氢荧光素二乙酸酯或罗丹明123染色结合荧光显微镜照相术分别检测细胞内活性氧簇(ROS)的含量和线粒体膜电位(ΔΨ_m),用试剂盒检测细胞存活率和乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)的释放。结果:与H₂S供体GYY4137类似,ATTM在细胞培养基中可剂量依赖性地释放H₂S。在25~400 μmol/L 的浓度范围内,ATTM处理对人皮肤细胞(HaCaT细胞)的存活率无明显影响(P>0.05)。紫外线照射或外源性给予ROS供体(过氧化氢,H₂O₂)处理均可增加HaCaT细胞内ROS的含量。400 μmol/L H₂O₂处理可明显降低HaCaT细胞的存活率(P<0.01),而在H₂O₂处理前给予ATTM预处理,细胞存活率明显提高,其中在100和200 μmol/L浓度时ATTM具有最好的细胞保护作用(P<0.01)。400 μmol/L H₂O₂处理还可损害细胞的ΔΨ_m和细胞膜并使LDH释放增加(P<0.01)。而在细胞遭受损伤前给予200 μmol/L ATTM预处理可明显改善ΔΨ_m的水平(P<0.05)并抑制LDH从细胞内释放(P<0.01)。结论:ATTM具有释放H₂S的能力并可保护人皮肤细胞对抗氧化应激诱导的损伤效应。

Identification of ATTM as a novel H2S donor and investigation of its protective effect on HaCaT skin cells

AIM: To investigate the ability of a metal complex ammonium tetrathiomolybdate (ATTM) to release H₂S and its cytoprotective effect on an oxidative injury model. METHODS: Released H₂S was absorbed in a reaction flask from ATTM dissolved in the cell medium. Staining with dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate or rhodamine 123 followed by photofluorography was conducted for the observation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ_m) levels, respectively. Cell viability and release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) from the cells were measured with commercial kits. RESULTS: Similar to another H₂S donor GYY4137, ATTM had an ability to release H₂S in the cell medium in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment of human skin HaCaT cells with ATTM at concentrations of 25~400 μmol/L didn't significantly alter cell viability. Exposure of the cells to ultraviolet rays or a ROS donor H₂O₂ increased the intracellular ROS levels. Treatment with 400 μmol/L H₂O₂ significantly reduced the viability of HaCaT cells (P<0.01). However, before the treatment with H₂O₂, pretreatment with ATTM at 100 and 200 μmol/L markedly prevented the H₂O₂-induced cell injury (P<0.01). In addition, the treatment with H₂O₂ triggered ΔΨ_m loss (P<0.01) and LDH release from the cells (P<0.01). Prior to suffering from H₂O₂ injury, the preconditioning with 200 μmol/L ATTM significantly improved ΔΨ_m levels (P<0.05) and attenuated LDH release from the cells (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: ATTM is capable of releasing H₂S and protecting human skin cells against oxidative injury.
