To investigate the protective effect and its mechanism of lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) against oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in human retinal pigment epithelial cells.
ARPE-19 cells, a human retinal pigment epithelial cell lines, were exposed to different concentrations of H2O2 for 24h, then cell viability was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay to get the properly concentration of H2O2 which can induce half apoptosis of APRE-19. With different concentrations of LBP pretreatment, the ARPE-19 cells were then exposed to appropriate concentration of H2O2, cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometric analysis. Expression levels of Bcl-2 and Bax were measured by real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique.
LBP significantly reduced the H2O2-induced ARPE-19 cells' apoptosis. LBP inhibited the H2O2-induced down-regulation of Bcl-2 and up-regulation of Bax.
LBP could protect ARPE-19 cells from H2O2-induced apoptosis. The Bcl-2 family had relationship with the protective effects of LBP.
探讨枸杞多糖(LBP)对氧化应激诱导的人视网膜色素上皮细胞凋亡的保护作用及其机制。
将人视网膜色素上皮细胞系ARPE-19细胞暴露于不同浓度的H2O2中24小时,然后通过细胞计数试剂盒-8(CCK-8)检测细胞活力,以获得能诱导ARPE-19细胞半数凋亡的合适H2O2浓度。用不同浓度的LBP预处理后,再将ARPE-19细胞暴露于合适浓度的H2O2中,通过流式细胞术分析检测细胞凋亡情况。采用实时定量聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)技术检测Bcl-2和Bax的表达水平。
LBP显著降低了H2O2诱导的ARPE-19细胞凋亡。LBP抑制了H2O2诱导的Bcl-2下调和Bax上调。
LBP可保护ARPE-19细胞免受H2O2诱导的凋亡。Bcl-2家族与LBP的保护作用有关。
