Thrombin is a serine protease that participates in a variety of biological signaling through protease-activated receptors. Intestinal myofibroblasts play central roles in maintaining intestinal homeostasis. In this study, we found that thrombin-induced apoptosis is mediated by the calcium-mediated activation of cytosolic phospholipase A in the CCD-18Co cell. Thrombin reduced cell viability by inducing apoptosis and proteinase-activated receptor-1 antagonist attenuated thrombin-induced cell death. Endogenous ceramide did not affect the cell viability itself, but a ceramide-mediated pathway was involved in thrombin-induced cell death. Thrombin increased intracellular calcium levels and cytosolic phospholipase A activity. The ceramide synthase inhibitor Fumonisin B, intracellular calcium chelator BAPTA-AM, and cytosolic phospholipase A inhibitor AACOCF inhibited thrombin-induced cell death. Thrombin stimulated arachidonic acid release and reactive oxygen species generation, which was blocked by AACOCF, BAPTA-AM, and the antioxidant reagent Trolox. Taken together, thrombin triggered apoptosis through calcium-mediated activation of cytosolic phospholipase A in intestinal myofibroblasts.
凝血酶是一种丝氨酸蛋白酶,通过蛋白酶激活受体参与多种生物信号传导。肠道肌成纤维细胞在维持肠道内环境稳定中起核心作用。在本研究中,我们发现凝血酶诱导的细胞凋亡是由CCD - 18Co细胞中钙介导的胞质磷脂酶A激活所介导的。凝血酶通过诱导细胞凋亡降低细胞活力,蛋白酶激活受体-1拮抗剂可减轻凝血酶诱导的细胞死亡。内源性神经酰胺本身不影响细胞活力,但神经酰胺介导的途径参与了凝血酶诱导的细胞死亡。凝血酶增加细胞内钙水平和胞质磷脂酶A活性。神经酰胺合酶抑制剂伏马菌素B、细胞内钙螯合剂BAPTA - AM和胞质磷脂酶A抑制剂AACOCF均可抑制凝血酶诱导的细胞死亡。凝血酶刺激花生四烯酸释放和活性氧生成,这被AACOCF、BAPTA - AM和抗氧化剂Trolox所阻断。综上所述,凝血酶通过钙介导的肠道肌成纤维细胞胞质磷脂酶A激活引发细胞凋亡。
