摘要: 目的:研究氯喹对人肝癌HepG2细胞增殖和凋亡的影响,并初步研究其可能的机制。方法:体外培养HepG2细胞,采用MTT法检测不同浓度(0、10、20和40 μmol/L)氯喹作用不同时间(24、48和72 h)后对细胞增殖的影响;用DAPI染色观察氯喹处理细胞24 h后细胞核的变化;流式细胞术检测氯喹对HepG2细胞凋亡的影响;Western blot技术检测氯喹对HepG2细胞中Caspase-3、Bcl-2、Bax、P-P53、P38MAPK和P-P38MAPK蛋白表达的影响。结果:与对照组比较,在上述3个时间点10、20、40 μmol/L氯喹(10 μmol/L氯喹作用24 h组除外)对人肝癌HepG2细胞的增殖均有明显抑制作用(P均 < 0.05);荧光显微镜下发现,10、20、40 μmol/L氯喹处理24 h后均可引起HepG2细胞不同程度的核浓集、固缩等典型凋亡形态变化;流式细胞术结果提示10、20、40 μmol/L氯喹能诱导HepG2细胞凋亡(P均 < 0.05);Western blot结果显示20和40 μmol/L氯喹作用HepG2细胞后,P-P53、P-P38MAPK、剪切后活化型Caspase-3和Bax蛋白表达量增加(P均 < 0.05),Bcl-2表达下降,Caspase-3和P38MAPK表达无明显变化(P > 0.05)。结论:氯喹能够抑制人肝癌HepG2细胞的生长并诱导其凋亡,其机制可能与P38MAPK通路有关。

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To investigate effects of chloroquine on cell proliferation and apoptosis of a hepatocellular carcinoma cell line,HepG2. METHODS: Cultured HepG2 cells were treated with various concentrations of chloroquine (0,10,20 and 40 μmol/L). Cell viability was determined by the MTT assay. Morphological changes in cell nuclei was detected using fluorescence microscope at 24 h after treatment. Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Expression levels of Caspase-3,Bcl-2,Bax,P-P53,P38MAPK and P-P38MAPK were performed using Western blot analyses. RESULTS: After treatment with 10-40 μmol/L chloroquine for 24,48 and 72 h,proliferation of HepG2 cells was significantly inhibited compared with the control group (P < 0.05). In addition,treatment with 10,20 and 40 μmol/L led to a significant increase in nuclear concentration and shrinkage. Flow cytometry analyses showed that 10,20 and 40 μmol/L treatment significantly induced apoptosis (P < 0.05). Increased in protein expression of P-P53,P-P38MAPK,cleaved Caspase-3 and Bax was detected in the 20 and 40 μmol/L groups while Caspase-3 and P38MAPK did not change. Expression of Bcl-2 was decreased after treatment with 20 and 40 μmol/L. CONCLUSION: Chloroquine inhibited HepG2 cell growth and induced apoptosis. The underlying mechanism might involve the P38MAPK signaling pathway.
