白藜芦醇诱导鼻咽癌细胞CNE-2Z凋亡过程中caspase-6的活化

目的:探讨白藜芦醇(Res)诱导鼻咽癌细胞CNE-2Z凋亡过程中是否有caspase-6的活化。方法:用Western-blot分析caspase-6酶原的裂解,半定量RT-PCR检测caspase-6mRNA表达的改变,比色法测定caspase-6活性的变化。结果:用Res 0(对照)、25、50、100、200μmol/L处理细胞24小时,caspase-6酶原的表达随药物浓度的增加而减少,100 μmol/L时开始出现活性裂解片段P20(20 kD),200μmol/L时P20增加;caspase-6 mRNA的表达呈浓度依赖性的增加(P<0.01);caspase-6活性呈浓度和时间依赖性的升高(P<0.01)。结论:Res诱导CNE-2Z细胞凋亡过程中有caspase-6的活化。

Activation of caspase-6 during resveratrol(Res)-induced apoptosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE-2Z

Objective:To study whether caspase-6 was activated during resveratrol(Res)- induced apoptosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE-2Z. Methods:The cleavage of pro-caspase-6 was analyzed by Western-blot. TTie changes of caspase-6 mKNA was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The changes of caspase-6 activity was determined by colorimetric assay. Results: After CNE-2Z cells were treated with 0 (control), 25, 50, 100, 200 pmol/L Res for 24 h, respectively, the expression of pro-caspase-6 was decreased with concentration increasing. Caspase-6 active fragment P20(20 kD) appeared at 100 fjtmol/L and was increased at 200 (junol/L.The expression of caspase-6 mR-NA was increased in a concentration-dependent manner ( P < 0.01). The caspase-6 activity was increased in a concentration and time-dependent manner ( P < 0.01). Conclusion; Caspase-6 is activated during Res-induced apoptosis of CNE-2Z cells.
