摘要
目的探讨小檗碱对氧化型低密度脂蛋白(ox-LDL)诱导人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)增殖的抑制作用及其相关信号通路改变。方法体外培养HUVEC,以ox-LDL刺激增殖并以不同浓度小檗碱干预,采用细胞计数试剂盒8与Ed U掺入实验检测小檗碱对HUVEC增殖的抑制作用,通过实时荧光定量PCR及Western blot分析相关基因和蛋白表达及信号通路变化。结果小檗碱(1~50 mg/L)呈浓度依赖性显著抑制ox-LDL诱导的HUVEC增殖,并降低增殖细胞核抗原(PCNA)、核因子кB(NF-κB)、凝集素样氧化型低密度脂蛋白受体1(LOX-1)的表达;该作用与PI3K/Akt、ERK1/2及p38MAPK信号通路蛋白的磷酸化水平降低相关。结论小檗碱通过下调PCNA、NF-κB与LOX-1表达从而抑制ox-LDL诱导的HUVEC增殖,PI3K/Akt、ERK1/2及p38MAPK信号通路参与其中。
Aim To investigate the inhibitory effect of berberine on the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cell(HUVEC) induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein(ox-LDL) and the changes of related signaling pathways.Methods HUVEC was cultured in vitro,and the proliferation of HUVEC was stimulated by ox-LDL and intervened with berberine at different concentrations.The inhibitory effect of berberine on proliferation of HUVEC was detected by cell counting kit 8 and Ed U incorporation experiment.The expressions of related genes and proteins and the changes of signaling pathway were analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot.Results In a concentration dependent manner,berberine(1~50 mg/L) significantly inhibited the HUVEC proliferation induced by ox-LDL,and reduced the expressions of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA),nuclear factor κB(NF-κB) and lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor-1(LOX-1).These effects were associated with decreased phosphorylation levels of PI3K/Akt,ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK signaling pathways.Conclusion Berberine inhibits the proliferation of HUVEC induced by ox-LDL through the down-regulation of PCNA,NF-κB and LOX-1 expressions.PI3 K/Akt,ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK signaling pathways are involved in this process.
