丹参酮ⅡA对高糖诱导人脐静脉内皮细胞凋亡的作用

目的:观察丹参酮ⅡA对高糖刺激人脐静脉内皮细胞凋亡的影响,并探讨相关的作用机制。方法:四甲基偶氮唑蓝(MTT)法检测细胞存活率;流式细胞术Annexin V-FITC/PI双染法定量检测内皮细胞凋亡情况;免疫印迹法检测抗凋亡分子Bcl-2、促凋亡分子Bax以及细胞色素C(cytochrome C,Cyt C)的蛋白表达水平。结果:丹参酮ⅡA可抑制高糖诱导的人脐静脉内皮细胞存活率的减少以及凋亡率的增加。此外,丹参酮ⅡA处理后,Bcl-2蛋白表达显著增加,Bax蛋白表达显著减少,并且线粒体Cyt C释放受到明显抑制。结论:丹参酮ⅡA可以通过调节线粒体凋亡信号通路相关蛋白表达而对抗高糖诱导内皮细胞的凋亡。

Tanshinone IIA prevents high glucose-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell apoptosis

AIM: To investigate the effect of tanshinone IIA on the apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) after high glucose treatment.METHODS: The cell viability was determined by MTT assay. The cell apoptotic rate was examined by flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining. The expression of Bcl-2 and Bax, and the release of mitochondrial cytochrome C(Cyt C) were analyzed by Western blotting.RESULTS: Tanshinone IIA significantly inhibited high glucose-induced decrease in cell viability and increased the cell apoptosis. Additionally, after tanshinone IIA treatment, Bax expression and the release of mitochondrial Cyt C were significantly inhibited, while Bcl-2 expression was increased.CONCLUSION: Tanshinone IIA prevents high glucose-induced endothelial cell apoptosis via mitochondria-dependent pathway.
