This study was aimed to elucidate the novel structure of HY253 isolated from the roots of Aralia continentalis and to evaluate its detailed mechanisms on apoptotic induction in HY253-treated HeLa cells. The structure of HY253 was elucidated based on the interpretation of the NMR spectra, as 7,8a-divinyl-2,4a,4b,5,6,7,8,8a,9,9a-decahydro-1H-fluorene-2,4a,4b,9a-tetraol. The TUNEL assay using flow cytometer revealed an appreciable apoptotic induction in HeLa cells treated with 100 microM of HY253 for 48 h. This apoptotic induction is associated with cytochrome c release from mitochondria, via up-regulation of pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins, such as Bax and Bak, which, in turn, resulted in the activation of caspase-8, -9 and -3, and the cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP).
本研究旨在阐明从土当归根部分离得到的 HY253 的新结构,并评估其在 HY253 处理的 HeLa 细胞中诱导细胞凋亡的详细机制。通过对 NMR 谱的解释,阐明了 HY253 的结构,确定为 7,8a-二乙烯基-2,4a,4b,5,6,7,8,8a,9,9a-十氢-1H-芴-2,4a,4b,9a-四醇。使用流式细胞仪的 TUNEL 检测显示,100μM 的 HY253 处理 HeLa 细胞 48 小时后可显著诱导细胞凋亡。这种细胞凋亡与细胞色素 c 从线粒体释放有关,通过上调促凋亡的 Bcl-2 蛋白,如 Bax 和 Bak,进而导致 caspase-8、-9 和 -3 的激活,以及多聚(ADP-核糖)聚合酶(PARP)的裂解。
