丙戊酸钠诱导骨髓增生异常综合征细胞株MUTZ-1凋亡的实验研究

为了探讨丙戊酸钠（sodium valproate,VPA）对骨髓增生异常综合征细胞株MUTZ-1的生长抑制及诱导凋亡作用,采用四甲基偶氮唑蓝（MTT）比色法检测VPA对细胞生长的抑制作用;采用光学显微镜和电子显微镜观察VPA作用后细胞形态的变化;应用流式细胞术（FCM）检测不同浓度VPA作用后细胞凋亡的比例和细胞周期分布的变化。结果显示：VPA对MUTZ-1细胞的生长抑制作用呈现时间和剂量依赖性;经4mmol/LVPA处理MUTZ-1细胞72小时后,细胞呈现典型的凋亡形态特征,光学显微镜下可见凋亡细胞胞体固缩、核固缩、核碎裂及凋亡小体;透射电子显微镜下可见凋亡细胞核染色质边集、胞浆浓缩、密度增加,胞浆内大小不规则的染色质团块;流式细胞术结果表明,细胞凋亡率随着VPA浓度的增加而逐步增高,G0/G1期细胞比例随着VPA浓度的增加而逐渐增多,S期细胞比例逐渐减低,细胞被阻滞在G0/G1期。结论：VPA通过G0/G1期阻滞诱导MUTZ-1细胞凋亡,从而抑制MUTZ-1细胞增殖。

Apoptosis of Human Myelodysplastic Syndrome Cell Line MUTZ-1 Induced by Sodium Valproate

To study the effects of sodium valproate (VPA) on human myelodysplastic syndrome cell line MUTZ-1. The cell proliferation was determined by MTT assay, apoptotic morphological features were observed by light microscopy and transmission electronmicroscopy, cell apoptosis and cell cycle shift were analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM). The results showed that VPA could inhibit the growth of MUTZ-1 cells in dose-and time-dependent manners. The typical apoptotic morphological features appeared in MUTZ-1 cells treated with 4 mmol/L VPA for 72 hours. Pyknosis of cells and nuclei, disintegration of nuclear chromatin and apoptotic body could be observed by light microscopy. Aggregation and margination of nuclear chromatin, concentration of plasm, increment of density and chromatin mass of irregular size could be observed by transmission electronmicroscope. The flow cytometric analysis indicated that the VPA could induce cell apoptosis, apoptosis rate increased in dose-dependent manner, ratio of cells at G0/G1 phase increased and ratio of cells at S phase decreased in dose-dependent manner, the cells were arrested at G0/G1 phase. It is concluded that the VPA can induce apotosis and inhibite proliferation of MUTZ-1 cells via arresting cells at G0/G1 phase.
