To explore the molecular mechanism of apoptosis induced by enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection.
The effects of EV71 on Rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cell viability were detected by CCK8 assay. EV71-induced apoptosis on RD cells were detected by Hoechst 33342 staining and Western blot targeting Caspase 3, 8 and PARP. Bax conformational change was detected by immunoprecipitation with Bax 6A7 antibody.
EV71 decreased the viability of RD cells and induces the activation of Caspase 3, 8 and PARP. Bax expression increases in RD cells after EV71 infection, and Bax conformational change also can be detected after EV71 infection.
Our study reveals that EV71 induces Caspase-dependent apoptosis by Bax conformational change.
探讨肠道病毒71型(EV71)感染诱导细胞凋亡的分子机制。
采用CCK8法检测EV71对横纹肌肉瘤(RD)细胞活力的影响。通过Hoechst 33342染色以及针对半胱天冬酶3、8和聚(ADP-核糖)聚合酶(PARP)的蛋白质印迹法检测EV71诱导的RD细胞凋亡。用Bax 6A7抗体进行免疫沉淀检测Bax构象变化。
EV71降低了RD细胞的活力,并诱导半胱天冬酶3、8和PARP的激活。EV71感染后RD细胞中Bax表达增加,且EV71感染后也能检测到Bax构象变化。
我们的研究表明,EV71通过Bax构象变化诱导半胱天冬酶依赖性细胞凋亡。
