| Objective:To research the effect of Isorhynchophylline(IRN)onβamyloid peptides 25-35(Aβ25-35)damaged in rat adrenal pheochromocytoma cells(PC12 cells,PC12)apoptosis,and to investigate the possible pharmacological effect and mechanism.Methods:(1)PC12 cells were set up and subcultured.(2)The PC12 cells of logarithmic growth phase were divided into normal control group,model group and IRN groups with 5 concentration gradients.The IRN groups were respectively treated with IRN of different concentration gradient in PC12 cells after 2 hours,then added20mol/L Aβ25-355-35 into culture to co-incubate for additional 24 hours.Cell viability was detected by CCK-8 kit.The cell proliferation rate was determined by crystal violet colorimetry.The concentrations of three IRN interventions were screened.(3)Cell apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry.(4)The content of malondialdehyde(MDA),Superoxide dismutase(SOD)and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX)activity was detected by colorimetric method.Intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS)was determined by fluorescence spectrophotometry(DCFH-DA).(5)Mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by Rhodamine 123 fluorescence staining.(6)ELISA was used to detecting tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α).(7)The expression of nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB),Interleukin 1β(IL-1β),cysteine-containing aspartate specific proteases-3(caspase-3),B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2),Bcl-2 Associated X Protein(Bax)and Cytochrome C(Cyt C)were detected by Western blot.Results:(1)Compared with the cell survival rate[(99.32±0.21)%]and proliferation rate[(99.56±0.42)%]in control group,the survival rate[(51.01±2.24)%]and proliferation rate[(50.86±2.36)%]in model group were reduced(P<0.05);Compared with model group,the cell survival rate[(55.62±2.70)%,(59.05±2.06)%,(76.03±1.97)%,(66.26±1.41)%,(57.22±2.86)%,(52.32±2.65)%]and proliferation rate[(58.74±2.44)%,(76.22±1.86)%,(67.56±1.82)%]of IRN groups were increased(P<0.05),which the concentration of IRN 20μmol/L group increased significantly.Then determined the low,medium and high concentrations of IRN were 5μmol/L,20μmol/L,80μmol/L.(2)The results of Flow Cytometry showed that compared with control[(2.50±1.02)%]group,the apoptosis rate[(25.31±2.62)%]of model group was increased(P<0.05);Compared with model group,the apoptosis rate[(23.10±1.52)%,(14.07±2.02)%,(22.67±1.12)%]of IRN group were decreased(P<0.05).(3)ComparedwiththeactivityofSOD[(366.89±7.85)U/mgprot],GSH-Px[(372.16±6.58)mU/mg]and the level of MDA[(586.14±24.81)nmol/mg prot]incontrolgroup,theSOD[(162.26±5.15)U/mgprot]and GSH-Px[(92.65±11.35)mU/mg]activities were decreased while the MDA[(1343.42.49±26.42)nmol/mg prot]level were increased in model group(P<0.05);Comparedwithmodelgroup,theSOD[(195.11±18.26)U/mgprot,(296.64±4.12)U/mgprot,(272.34±4.26)U/mgprot]andGSH-Px[(181.72±10.24)mU/mg,(278.82±3.68)mU/mg,(248.73±9.42)mU/mg]activities were increased while the MDA[(958.76±21.96)nmol/mg prot,(628.16±14.46)nmol/mg prot,(716.32±17.88)nmol/mg prot]level were decreased in IRN group(P<0.05).(4)Compared with control group,the fluorescence of the PC12 cells in the model group,the mitochondrial membrane potential dissipation and ROS all increased(P<0.05);Compared with model group,the fluorescence of the PC12 group in the IRN group,the membrane potential and ROS decreased(P<0.05).(5)Compared with control[(546.34±11.78)pg/m L]group,the concentration of TNF-αin the model[(894.18±11.96)pg/m L]group was increased(P<0.05);Compared with model group,the concentration of TNF-αin the IRN[(838.24±10.16)pg/m L,(718.26±10.82)pg/m L,(786.44±8.26)pg/m L]group were decreased(P<0.05).(6)Compared with control group,theexpressionlevelofNF-κB(2.43±0.01),Bax(2.32±0.01),Caspase-3(2.35±0.01),IL-1β(2.72±0.01)and Cyt C(1.21±0.01)were increased while Bcl-2(0.74±0.01)was decreased(P<0.05);Compared with model group,the expression level of NF-κB[(1.58±0.02),(2.19±0.02)],Bax[(1.36±0.02),(1.44±0.02)],Caspase-3[(0.82±0.02),(0.75±0.02)],IL-1β[(1.65±0.02),(1.30±0.02)]and Cyt C[(0.78±0.02),(0.93±0.02)]were decreased while Bcl-2[(1.55±0.02),(1.45±0.02)]was increased in IRN-20 and IRN-80 group(P<0.05).Conclusion:IRN can increase the survival rate and proliferation rate induced by Aβ25-35,decrease the cells apoptosis via stabilize the mitochondrial membrane potential induced by Aβ25-35.The mechanism may through reduce the level of ROS and MDA,increase the activity of SOD and GSH-PX and increase the antioxidant capacity of cells;IRN can reduce the expression of TNF-αand IL-1βand inhibit the expression of NF-κB and inflammatory signal pathway;Stabilize the mitochondrial membrane potential,enhance the expression of Bcl-2 and inhibit the expression of Bax,and then regulate the expression of Cyt-C and Caspase-3. |
