摘要: 目的:研究微囊藻毒素-LR对人正常食管上皮细胞活力及凋亡相关蛋白Caspase-3和Caspase-9表达的影响,为探讨其诱导凋亡的途径提供依据。方法:分别用不同浓度(1、3.75、7.5、15、30、50 μg/mL)微囊藻毒素-LR处理人正常食管上皮HEEC细胞24 h,用四甲基偶氮唑蓝(MTT)法检测细胞活力,计算半数抑制浓度(IC50)以确定后续实验的MC-LR浓度。进一步用0、6、12、24 μg/mL微囊藻毒素-LR处理细胞,采用PI-Annexin V双染法检测细胞凋亡,Western blot检测Caspase-3和Caspase-9蛋白的表达水平。结果:与对照组比较,3.75~50 μg/mL的微囊藻毒素-LR均可使人正常食管上皮细胞活力降低(P均 < 0.01),测定得出IC50为24 μg/mL。因此,选择6、12和24 μg/mL的MC-LR用于后续实验。用6~24 μg/mL微囊藻毒素-LR处理细胞24 h后,细胞凋亡率升高(P < 0.05或P < 0.01),Caspase-3和Caspase-9蛋白表达增加(P均 < 0.01)。结论:微囊藻毒素-LR可以诱导人正常食管上皮细胞凋亡,且可能与细胞凋亡相关的信号分子Caspase-3和Caspase-9的激活有关。

Abstract: OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of microcystin-LR on viability and apoptosis of human normal esophageal epithelial cells,and on expression of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9. METHODS:Human normal esophageal epithelial cells were treated with microcystin-LR at different concentrations (1,3.75,7.5,15,30,50 μg/mL) for 24 h,and cell viability was detected by the MTT assay. The data were used to calculate the half inhibitory concentration (IC50) which was used to determine the MC-LR concentrations for subsequent experiments. Accordingly,cells were treated with 6,12 and 24 μg/mL MC-LR,and apoptosis was detected by PI-Annexin V double staining. Expression levels of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 were detected by Western blot. RESULTS:Compared with the control group,microcystin-LR of 3.75-50 μg/mL decreased the viability of normal esophageal epithelial cells (P < 0.01);the 6-24 μg/mL concentrations increased the apoptosis rate (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01),and the expression of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION:Induction of apoptosis in human normal esophageal epithelial cells by microcystin-LR may be related to its activation of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9.
