Previous in vitro studies have shown the therapeutic potential of bee venom (BV) against different types of glioblastoma cells. Our aim was to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of BV on glioma in the zebrafish model. First, safe concentrations of BV and melittin were determined by determining the LD for each substance. Two human glioma cell lines, 8MGBA and LN-229, were used in this study. After staining the tested cells for visualization under UV light, they were then implanted into 2-day-old zebrafish embryos. Zebrafish were incubated for 3 days with crude BV and melittin at concentrations of 1.5 and 2.5 µg/mL vs. control group. Tumor growth was assessed with a stereo microscope. We found differential proliferative responses of two human glioma lines in a zebrafish model. The 8MGBA cell line, but not LN-229, showed proliferative potential when implanted into 2-day-old zebrafish embryos. This study showed a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect only for BV against 8MGBA cells. The observed cytotoxic effect is not dependent on the presence of the peptide melittin-the main BV component with the greatest cytotoxic potential. Simultaneously, a slight increase in LN-229 cell proliferation was observed after 3 days of incubation with melittin at a concentration of 2.5 µg/mL. This indicates that any consideration of bee venom as a therapeutic substance must take into account the type of glioblastoma.
先前的体外研究表明,蜂毒(BV)对不同类型的胶质母细胞瘤细胞具有治疗潜力。我们的目的是评估BV对斑马鱼模型中胶质瘤的细胞毒性作用。首先,通过确定每种物质的半数致死剂量(LD)来确定BV和蜂毒肽的安全浓度。本研究使用了两种人类胶质瘤细胞系,8MGBA和LN-229。在对测试细胞进行染色以便在紫外线下可视化后,将它们植入2天大的斑马鱼胚胎中。将斑马鱼与浓度为1.5和2.5μg/mL的粗制BV和蜂毒肽一起孵育3天,与对照组进行对比。用立体显微镜评估肿瘤生长情况。我们在斑马鱼模型中发现了两种人类胶质瘤细胞系的不同增殖反应。当将8MGBA细胞系植入2天大的斑马鱼胚胎中时,它表现出增殖潜力,而LN-229细胞系则没有。本研究表明,仅BV对8MGBA细胞具有剂量依赖性细胞毒性作用。观察到的细胞毒性作用并不依赖于具有最大细胞毒性潜力的主要BV成分——蜂毒肽的存在。同时,在与浓度为2.5μg/mL的蜂毒肽孵育3天后,观察到LN-229细胞增殖略有增加。这表明,将蜂毒视为一种治疗物质时,必须考虑胶质母细胞瘤的类型。
