The purpose of this study was to examine whether glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is involved in colchicine-induced cell death in PC12 cells by using GSK inhibitors. Colchicine increased apoptotic cell death with morphological changes characterized by cell shrinkage and nuclear condensation or fragmentation. GSK-3 inhibitors such as alsterpaullone, SB216763, and AR-A014418 prevented colchicine-induced cell death and caspase-3 activation. These results suggest that colchicine induces caspase-dependent apoptotic cell death and that GSK-3 activation is involved in cell death in PC12 cells.
本研究旨在通过使用 GSK 抑制剂来检测糖原合酶激酶-3(GSK-3)是否参与秋水仙碱诱导的 PC12 细胞死亡。秋水仙碱增加了凋亡细胞死亡,其形态特征为细胞收缩和核浓缩或碎裂。GSK-3 抑制剂如 alsterpaullone、SB216763 和 AR-A014418 可防止秋水仙碱诱导的细胞死亡和 caspase-3 激活。这些结果表明,秋水仙碱诱导 caspase 依赖性凋亡细胞死亡,而 GSK-3 的激活参与了 PC12 细胞的死亡。
