To investigate the protective effect of clusterin on oxidative stress-induced cell death of human corneal endothelial cells.
Human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs) were cultured according to previously published methods. With treatment of various concentrations (0-50 mM) of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP) or clusterin, reactive oxygen species (ROS) producrion was measured using an oxidationsensitive fluorescent probe and 2'7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA). Cell viability was assayed with a Cell Counting Kit-8.
In HCECs, DCF-DA staining revealed that cells treated with a higher concentration of tBHP had higher fluorescent intensity than cells treated with clusterin, compared to control cells. Clusterin significantly inhibited tBHP-induced ROS production. Cell viability decreased with higher tBHP concentration. Cells treated with clusterin had higher viability than control cells at 5 mM tBHP. Clusterin effectively protected HCECs from ROS-induced cell death.
Our data suggest that clusterin may protect HCECs from oxidative injury-mediated cell death via inhibition of ROS production.
研究簇集素对氧化应激诱导的人角膜内皮细胞死亡的保护作用。
按照先前发表的方法培养人角膜内皮细胞(HCECs)。用不同浓度(0 - 50 mM)的叔丁基过氧化氢(tBHP)或簇集素处理后,使用氧化敏感荧光探针和2'7'-二氯荧光素二乙酸酯(DCFH-DA)测量活性氧(ROS)的产生。用细胞计数试剂盒-8检测细胞活力。
在HCECs中,DCF-DA染色显示,与对照细胞相比,用较高浓度tBHP处理的细胞比用簇集素处理的细胞具有更高的荧光强度。簇集素显著抑制tBHP诱导的ROS产生。细胞活力随tBHP浓度升高而降低。在5 mM tBHP时,用簇集素处理的细胞比对照细胞具有更高的活力。簇集素有效地保护HCECs免受ROS诱导的细胞死亡。
我们的数据表明,簇集素可能通过抑制ROS产生来保护HCECs免受氧化损伤介导的细胞死亡。
