To evaluate the peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) of puerarin on retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells apoptosis induced partly by peroxynitrite via Fas/FasL.
RPE cells from C57BL/6 mice eyes were cultured. Diabetes was induced in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats by streptozotocin (STZ) intraperitoneal injection. Puerarin was administrated to cultured RPE cells and diabetic rats. Western blotting analysis, DNA ladder, RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry were used for determining the expression of nitrotyrosine (NT, the foot print of ONOO(-)), complement 3 (C3); apoptosis and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA as well as Fas/FasL signal transduction in RPE cells.
Both RPE cells in ONOO(-) and puerarin group developed apoptosis and expressed NT, C3, iNOS mRNA and Fas/FasL. But latter delayed the all changes in a time-dependent manner compared with control and STZ group (P<0.001). iNOS, C3 and Fas/FasL were up-regulated and associated with an increase of expression of ONOO(-)in vivo and in vitro.
Puerarin decreases RPE cells apoptosis partly induced by ONOO(-) for diabetic retinopathy.
评估葛根素对过氧亚硝酸根(ONOO⁻)通过Fas/FasL途径部分诱导的视网膜色素上皮(RPE)细胞凋亡的影响。
培养C57BL/6小鼠眼的RPE细胞。通过腹腔注射链脲佐菌素(STZ)诱导Sprague-Dawley(SD)大鼠患糖尿病。将葛根素应用于培养的RPE细胞和糖尿病大鼠。采用蛋白质免疫印迹分析、DNA梯状条带分析、逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)、免疫组织化学等方法,检测硝基酪氨酸(NT,ONOO⁻的标志物)、补体3(C3)的表达;RPE细胞中的细胞凋亡、诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)mRNA以及Fas/FasL信号转导情况。
ONOO⁻组和葛根素组的RPE细胞均发生凋亡,并表达NT、C3、iNOS mRNA和Fas/FasL。但与对照组和STZ组相比,葛根素组能以时间依赖的方式延缓所有这些变化(P<0.001)。iNOS、C3和Fas/FasL在体内和体外均上调,并与ONOO⁻表达的增加相关。
葛根素可减少过氧亚硝酸根部分诱导的糖尿病视网膜病变RPE细胞凋亡。
