【摘要】 目的探讨原花青素(PC)对β-淀粉样肽(Aβ25-35)诱导凋亡PC12细胞par-4和bcl-2基因mRNA和蛋白表达的影响。方法采用MTT比色法分析细胞存活率,Hoechst33258-PI荧光染色法检测细胞凋亡,RT-PCR方法检测PC12细胞par-4和bcl-2基因mRNA的表达,Westernblotting检测PC12细胞Par-4和Bcl-2蛋白表达。结果不同剂量(5、10、20、30mg/L)PC预处理PC12细胞1h可剂量依赖性对抗Aβ25-35引起的细胞凋亡,提高PC12细胞的存活率,减少Aβ25-35引起的PC12细胞核固缩、凝聚和碎裂,降低par-4基因mRNA表达及蛋白表达,增加bcl-2基因mRNA表达及蛋白表达。结论PC可剂量依赖性对抗Aβ25-35对PC12细胞的毒性作用,其机制可能与下调凋亡基因par-4和上调抗凋亡基因bcl-2表达有关。更多还原

【Abstract】 Objective To study the effect of procyanidins (PC) on mRNA and protein expression of par-4 and bcl-2 genes in PC12 cells induced by Aβ_ 25-35 . Methods Cell survival rate was evaluated by MTT assay and apoptosis was analyzed by Hoechst 33258-PI fluorescence staining. The expressions of mRNA and protein for par-4 and bcl-2 were tested by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Results Pretreatment with different concentrations of PC (5、10、20, and 30 mg/L) for 1 h increased the survival rate of PC12 cell in a dose-dependent manner. PC prevented the PC12 cells nuclei from shrinkage, condensation, and cleavage induced by Aβ_ 25-35 . PC decreased the expression of par-4 mRNA and protein, and increased the expression of bcl-2 mRNA and protein. Conclusion PC can protect PC12 cells from apoptosis induced by Aβ_ 25-35 in a dose dependent manner. The mechanism of protection is likely related to decreasing the par-4 gene expression and increasing the bcl-2 gene expression.更多还原
