摘要
目的观察硫代硫酸钠(STS)对高磷干预的血管平滑肌细胞(VSMC)蛋白激酶B(Akt)/雷帕霉素靶蛋白(mTOR)分子的影响,探讨STS抑制高磷诱导的VSMC钙化的可能机制。方法体外原代培养SD大鼠VSMC,3~6代细胞用于后续实验。①将细胞随机给予正常磷(1.3 mmol/L)或高磷(2.6 mmol/L)干预,7 d后茜素红染色检测细胞钙盐沉积,邻甲苯酚络合酮比色法测定细胞钙含量;Western blot法检测p-Akt(ser473)、p-mTOR(ser2448)表达。②细胞随机给予高磷、高磷+不同浓度(0.5、1.0、2.0 mmol/L)STS干预。24 h后检测细胞钙盐沉积和钙含量。③细胞随机给予高磷、高磷+Akt特异抑制剂渥曼青霉素(100 nmol/L)或mTOR抑制剂雷帕霉素(100 ng/mL)、高磷+STS(2.0 mmol/L)干预,48 h后检测各组p-Akt或p-mTOR表达。所有实验重复5次,每次实验设置3个复孔。结果干预7 d后,与正常磷相比,高磷干预细胞钙含量增高[(77.33±12.86)比(20.33±7.09)μg/mg pro,P<0.05];与正常磷相比,高磷干预细胞p-Akt(0.57±0.06比0.26±0.08)、p-mTOR(0.68±0.08比0.42±0.07)表达增高(均P<0.05)。与高磷相比,0.5 mmol/L STS及1.0 mmol/L STS干预24 h后钙盐沉积无明显减轻,而2.0 mmol/L STS干预后钙盐沉积明显减轻,细胞钙含量减少。与高磷相比,渥曼青霉素干预后细胞p-Akt蛋白表达减少(0.36±0.15比0.85±0.22,P<0.05),雷帕霉素干预后细胞p-mTOR蛋白表达减少(0.38±0.18比0.86±0.22,P<0.05),而2.0 mmol/L STS干预后细胞p-Akt和p-mTOR蛋白表达无明显变化(P>0.05)。结论高磷体外诱导大鼠VSMC钙化,激活Akt/mTOR信号分子。渥曼青霉素和雷帕霉素抑制VSMC Akt/mTOR信号分子,减轻高磷诱导的VSMC钙化。STS可减轻高磷诱导的VSMC钙化,但非通过Akt/mTOR信号分子起作用。
Objective To observe the effect of sodium thiosulfate(STS) on protein kinase B(PKB, Akt) and rapamycin target protein(mTOR) in high-phosphorus treated vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC), and to explore the possible mechanism of STS inhibiting high-phosphorus induced VSMC calcification. Methods VSMC of SD rats were cultured in vitro. Passage 3 to 6 were used for experiments. ①VSMC were randomly treated by normal(1.3 mmol/L) or large dose of phosphorus(2.6 mmol/L). Seven days later, protein expression of p-Akt and p-mTOR were examined by Western blot. ②VSMC were treated by large dose of phosphate with or without different concentrations(0.5, 1, 2 mmol/L) of STS. After 24 hours, calcium deposition and calcium content in VSMC were detected. ③VSMC were treated by large dose of phosphorus, phosphorus+Akt inhibitor(wortmannin), phosphorus+mTOR inhibitor(rapamycin) and phosphorus+STS, respectively. After 24 hours, calcium deposition and calcium content in VSMC were detected. The protein expression of p-Akt and p-mTOR were detected. All experiments were repeated 5 times at least. Results Compared with normal dosage of phosphate, the calcium deposition and calcium content were significantly increased in high-phosphate treated VSMC after 7 days [(77.33±12.86) vs(20.33±7.09)μg/mg pro,P<0.05]. The protein expression of p-Akt(0.26±0.08 vs 0.57±0.06) and p-mTOR(0.42±0.07 vs 0.68±0.08) were also significantly increased after high-phosphate treatment(P<0.05). Compared with high-phosphorus treatment, calcium deposition and calcium content were decreased in VSMC treated by 2.0 mmol/L STS, but not in VSMC treated by 0.5 and 1.0 mmol/L STS. After treated by wortmanin or rapamycin for 24-48 hours, the protein expression of p-Akt(0.36±0.15 vs 0.85±0.22, P<0.05) and p-mTOR(0.38±0.18 vs 0.86±0.22, P<0.05) were obviously decreased, while after treated by 2.0 mmol/L STS, the protein expression of p-Akt and p-mTOR were not decreased compared with high-phosphate treated VSMC. Conclusion High-phosphate induces VSMC calcification in vitro. Signal molecules Akt and mTOR are activated in high-phosphate induced VSMC calcification. Wortmannin and rapamycin can inhibit high-phosphate induced VSMC calcification by inhibiting the activation of Akt and mTOR, respectively. Sodium thiosulfate may attenuate high-phosphate induced VSMC calcification. However, it has no effects on Akt and mTOR molecules.
