摘要
目的:观察辣椒碱对肝癌SMMC-7721细胞增殖的影响,并探讨其作用的分子机制。方法:设立辣椒碱(50,100,150,200,250,300μmol·L~(-1))组以及空白组,采用细胞计数试剂盒-8 (CCK-8)法检测辣椒碱(50,100,150,200,250,300μmol·L~(-1))作用SMMC-7721细胞24,48,72 h后的细胞活性;采用光学倒置显微镜观察辣椒碱(150,200,250μmol·L~(-1))作用SMMC-7721细胞形态的变化;实时荧光定量PCR(Real-time PCR)检测辣椒碱(150,200,250μmol·L~(-1))作用SMMC-7721细胞24 h后细胞中高迁移率族蛋白B1(HMGB1)和白细胞介素-6(IL-6) mRNA表达水平;采用酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)检测辣椒碱(150,200,250μmol·L~(-1))作用SMMC-7721细胞24 h后细胞培养上清中HMGB1和IL-6的水平。结果:与空白组比较,辣椒碱50,100μmol·L~(-1)组作用24,48,72 h差异均无统计学意义;其余辣椒碱(150,200,250,300μmol·L~(-1))作用不同时间点,增殖抑制率均明显升高(P <0. 05),且具有明显的浓度和时间依赖效应;与空白组比较,辣椒碱(150,200,250μmol·L~(-1))组SMMC-7721细胞均出现不同程度地形态学改变,表现为细胞变圆、皱缩,贴壁差,脱落增多,给药浓度越高,效果就越明显;与空白组比较,辣椒碱(150,200,250μmol·L~(-1))组SMMC-7721细胞中HMGB1,IL-6 mRNA表达明显下调(P <0. 05),上清中HMGB1和IL-6分泌明显降低(P <0. 05)。结论:辣椒碱对肝癌SMMC-7721细胞增殖具有抑制作用,潜在机制可能与其抑制细胞HMGB1和IL-6的表达与分泌有关。
Objective: To investigate the effect of capsaicin on proliferation in human hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells and its possible molecular mechanism. Method: Capsaicin( 50, 100, 150, 200, 250,300 μmol·L~(-1)) groups and blank group were set up. The cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8( CCK-8) assay after SMMC-7721 cells were treated with capsaicin( 50,100,150,200,250,300 μmol·L~(-1))for 24,48,72 h. The morphological changes were observed under an inverted microscope after SMMC-7721 cells were treated with capsaicin( 150,200,250 μmol·L~(-1)) for 24 h. The mRNA expression levels of high mobility group box 1( HMGB1) and interleukin-6( IL-6) were measured by Real-time PCR after SMMC-7721 cells were treated with capsaicin( 150,200,250 μmol·L~(-1)) for 24 h. The levels of HMGB1 and IL-6 in cell culture supernatant were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay( ELISA) after SMMC-7721 cells were treated with capsaicin( 150,200,250 μmol·L~(-1)) for 24 h. Result: Compared with the blank group,there was no significant difference between 50 and 100 μmol·L~(-1) capsaicin groups treated for 24,48,72 h; after treated with the other concentrations of capsaicin( 150,200,250,300 μmol·L~(-1)) at different time points,the proliferation inhibition rate was statistically significant( P < 0. 05),with significant concentration and time-dependent effect;compared with the blank group,capsaicin( 150,200,250 μmol·L~(-1)) groups showed different degrees of morphological changes in SMMC-7721 cells,which became round and wrinkled,with a poor attachment and more exfoliation; compared with the blank group,the mRNA expressions of HMGB1 and IL-6 in SMMC-7721 cells of capsaicin( 150,200,250 μmol·L~(-1)) groups were significantly down-regulated( P < 0. 05),and the secretions of HMGB1 and IL-6 were significantly decreased in the supernatant( P < 0. 05). Conclusion: Capsaicin inhibits cell proliferation of SMMC-7721 cells,and the possible mechanism may be related to the down-regulation of HMGB1 and IL-6 at the mRNA and protein levels.
