摘要: 目的:研究甲醛(FA)对人肝癌细胞株HepG2细胞游离胆固醇(FC)含量的影响及其作用机制。方法:分别采用0.004、0.02、0.1 mmol/L FA处理人肝癌细胞株HepG2细胞24和48 h,以完全培养基为阴性对照,过氧化物酶法测定HepG2细胞内FC含量;采用Western blot法检测HepG2细胞固醇调节元件结合蛋白-2(SREBP-2)、羟甲基戊二酸单酰辅酶A还原酶(HMGCR)、胆固醇酰基转移酶(ACAT)和低密度脂蛋白受体(LDLR)的蛋白表达水平。结果:与阴性对照组相比,各浓度的FA染毒24 h或0.02和0.1 mmol/L FA染毒48 h后,HepG2细胞内FC含量均明显增加(P均 < 0.05);FA染毒24和48 h后细胞内HMGCR蛋白表达水平均明显增加(P < 0.05);FA染毒24 h后,ACAT和LDLR表达水平均明显降低(P均 < 0.05);FA染毒48 h,LDLR蛋白表达水平明显降低(P < 0.05),ACAT蛋白表达水平在0.02和0.1 mmol/L FA组明显降低(P < 0.05)。结论:甲醛染毒可使HepG2细胞内FC含量增加,可能与胆固醇的从头合成增加和胆固醇酯化水平降低有关。

Abstract: OBJECTIVE:To explore effects of formaldehyde (FA) on intra-hepatocellular free cholesterol content in HepG2 cells. METHODS:HepG2 cells were treated with formaldehyde at 0.004,0.02 and 0.1 mmol/L concentrations for 24 and 48 hours,respectively. The content of intra-hepatocellular free cholesterol was detected by using free the cholesterol GPO-POD assay kit. Western blot was used to detect protein expression of the sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) -2,hydroxy mothylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR),acyl coenzyme A-cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) and low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR). RESULTS:Compared with negative control,the contents of intra-hepatocellular FC were increased significantly after treatments with FA for 24 h and 0.02 and 0.1 mmol/L for 48 h (P < 0.05). HMGCR expression levels were significantly increased after exposure to formaldehyde for 24 and 48 h (P < 0.05). After treatment with FA for 24 h,expression levels of ACAT and LDLR were significantly down-regulated (P < 0.05). After 48 h,expression levels of LDLR were decreased significantly,whereas the levels of ACAT were decreased significantly after treatment with 0.02 and 0.1 mmol/L FA (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION:FA exposure increased intra-hepatocellular free cholesterol contents in HepG2 cells. The increase could be caused by elevated de novo synthesis of cholesterol and decreased cholesterol esterification.
