To study the effects of elemene (Ele) on proliferation and cell cycle of human lens epithelial cells B3 (HLE-B3) and the mechanisms of its signal transduction.
Recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (rhbFGF) was used to induce proliferation of HLE-B3 cells, which were incubated with 80mg/L Ele for 24 hours. The inhibitory effects of Ele on the proliferation of HLE-B3 cells were evaluated by MTT method. The effect of Ele on HLE-B3 cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry(FCM). The expressions of protein kinase A (PKA) and protein kinase G (PKG) of HLE-B3 were also analyzed by FCM.
Ele altered the cell cycle of HLE-B3 and effectively inhibited HLE-B3 cell proliferation induced by rhbFGF. Ele up-regulated PKA and down-regulated the expression of PKG in HLE-B3 cell.
Ele inhibits HLE-B3 proliferation, making it an attractive potential agent in regimens to treat after-cataracts.
研究榄香烯(Ele)对人晶状体上皮细胞B3(HLE - B3)增殖及细胞周期的影响及其信号转导机制。
采用重组人碱性成纤维细胞生长因子(rhbFGF)诱导HLE - B3细胞增殖,将其与80mg/L榄香烯孵育24小时。采用MTT法评估榄香烯对HLE - B3细胞增殖的抑制作用。通过流式细胞术(FCM)分析榄香烯对HLE - B3细胞周期的影响。同时采用FCM分析HLE - B3中蛋白激酶A(PKA)和蛋白激酶G(PKG)的表达。
榄香烯改变了HLE - B3的细胞周期,并有效抑制了rhbFGF诱导的HLE - B3细胞增殖。榄香烯上调HLE - B3细胞中PKA的表达并下调PKG的表达。
榄香烯抑制HLE - B3增殖,使其成为治疗后发性白内障方案中一种有吸引力的潜在药物。
