To investigate the effects of IH764-3 on HSC apoptosis and the expression of caspase-3 protein in HSC apoptotic process.
HSCs were cultured in medium with different IH764-3 doses(10 microg.mL(-1) 20 microg.mL(-1) 30 microg.mL(-1) 40 microg.mL(-1)) and without IH764-3 and HSC proliferation was quantitatively measured by (3)H-thymidine incorporation. The morphological changes of HSCs were observed with transmission electron microscope after exposure to the dose of 40 microg.mL(-1) of IH764-3 for 48 hr. The apoptosis rates were detected by annexin V/PI and TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). The expression of caspase-3 protein was determined by flow cytometry.
(1) HSC proliferation rates induced with different IH764-3 doses (10 microg.mL(-1) 20 microg.mL(-1) 30 microg.mL(-1) 40 microg.mL(-1)) were significantly reduced compared with that of the control group (P<0.01). (2)With the doses above,IH764-3 dose-dependently produced HSC apoptosis rates of 6.7%(9.4%) 9.3%(21.6%) 15.1%(27.2%) and 19.0%(28.4%) respectively by annexin V and PI-labeled flow cytometry assay or TUNEL while it was only 2.3%(6.7%) in the control. (3) The expression of caspase-3 protein in IH764-3 groups was significantly higher than that of the control (P<0.05).
Within the dose range used in present study IH764-3 can inhibit HSC proliferation as well as enhance HSC apoptosis. Furthermore IH764-3 can significantly increase the caspase-3 protein expression.
研究IH764 - 3对肝星状细胞(HSC)凋亡及HSC凋亡过程中半胱天冬酶 - 3蛋白表达的影响。
将HSC培养于含不同剂量IH764 - 3(10μg·mL⁻¹、20μg·mL⁻¹、30μg·mL⁻¹、40μg·mL⁻¹)及不含IH764 - 3的培养基中,通过³H - 胸腺嘧啶核苷掺入法定量检测HSC增殖。在暴露于40μg·mL⁻¹的IH764 - 3 48小时后,用透射电子显微镜观察HSC的形态变化。通过膜联蛋白V/碘化丙啶(PI)和末端脱氧核苷酸转移酶介导的dUTP缺口末端标记法(TUNEL)检测凋亡率。用流式细胞术测定半胱天冬酶 - 3蛋白的表达。
(1)与对照组相比,不同剂量(10μg·mL⁻¹、20μg·mL⁻¹、30μg·mL⁻¹、40μg·mL⁻¹)的IH764 - 3诱导的HSC增殖率显著降低(P<0.01)。(2)上述剂量下,通过膜联蛋白V和PI标记的流式细胞术检测或TUNEL法,IH764 - 3分别剂量依赖性地使HSC凋亡率达到6.7%(9.4%)、9.3%(21.6%)、15.1%(27.2%)和19.0%(28.4%),而对照组仅为2.3%(6.7%)。(3)IH764 - 3组中半胱天冬酶 - 3蛋白的表达显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。
在本研究使用的剂量范围内,IH764 - 3可抑制HSC增殖并增强HSC凋亡。此外,IH764 - 3可显著增加半胱天冬酶 - 3蛋白的表达。
