Amiloride通过抑制缺氧诱导的NHE1表达而延缓calpain介导的ABCA1降解

目的:研究缺氧对钠氢交换体1(NHE1)表达、细胞内钙离子浓度([Ca2+]i)和钙蛋白酶(calpain)活性的影响,探讨NHE1抑制剂阿米洛利(amiloride)对ABCA1降解的影响以及与calpain相关的机制。方法:RAW264.7细胞缺氧0、12、24和48 h。MTT法检测细胞活力,real-time PCR及Western blot检测NHE1的表达。流式细胞术检测[Ca2+]i,荧光素法检测细胞内calpain活性。进而,经缺氧24 h处理的细胞,cycloheximide干预条件下,NHE1抑制剂amiloride处理6 h及12 h,检测ABCA1蛋白含量。最后,给予calpain抑制剂ALLN及细胞内钙螯合剂BAPTA共孵育12 h,检测ABCA1含量及calpain活性。结果:缺氧呈时间依赖方式抑制细胞增殖。缺氧促进NHE1表达上调,增加[Ca2+]i及calpain活性。缺氧加速ABCA1蛋白降解,而amiloride减缓ABCA1蛋白降解。ALLN及BAPTA升高ABCA1蛋白含量,降低calpain活性。结论:Amiloride延缓calpain介导的ABCA1降解,提示缺氧诱导NHE1表达可能至少部分参与ABCA1蛋白降解。

Amiloride slows down calpain-mediated ABCA1 degradation through inhibition of hypoxia-induced NHE1 expression

AIM: To examine the effects of hypoxia on sodium-hydrogen exchange 1(NHE1) expression, intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration ([Ca²⁺]_i) and calpain activity, and to explore the effect of amiloride on adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A1(ABCA1) degradation and its calpain-related mechanism. METHODS: RAW264.7 cells were exposed to hypoxia for 0 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay and the expression of NHE1 at mRNA and protein levels was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot. [Ca₂₊]_i was analyzed by flow cytometry. Calpain activity was assessed by the method of Suc-LLVY-aminoluciferin. Furthermore, the protein levels of ABCA1 in the RAW264.7 cells exposed to hypoxia for 24 h were determined after 6 h or 12 h treatment with NHE1 inhibitor amiloride in the presence of cycloheximide. ABCA1 protein levels and calpain activity were detected after 12 h incubation with calpain inhibitor ALLN or intracellular calcium-chelating agent BAPTA. RESULTS: Hypoxia inhibited the cell viability in a time-dependent manner. Hypoxia up-regulated the mRNA and protein expression of NHE1, and increased [Ca²⁺]_i and calpain activity. Hypoxia increased the degradation of ABCA1 and amiloride slowed down the ABCA1 degradation. ALLN or BAPTA increased ABCA1 protein level and decreased calpain activity. CONCLUSION: NHE1 inhibitor amiloride attenuates the calpain-mediated degradation of ABCA1, indicating that hypoxia-induced NHE1 might, at least in part, participate in the ABCA1 degradation.
