Caveolin-1介导流体剪切应力调控MC3T3-E1成骨细胞增殖和凋亡

Caveolin-1 mediated fluid shear stress regulates proliferation and apoptosis of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts

背景:流体剪切应力在成骨细胞增殖和凋亡中起着重要作用。然而,Caveolin-1(Cav-1)是否参与成骨细胞中流体剪切应力诱导的增殖与凋亡过程尚不清楚。目的:探讨Cav-1在流体剪切应力调控成骨细胞增殖和凋亡中的作用。方法:选择生长状态良好的MC3T3-E1成骨细胞,加载不同时间(0,30,60,90 min)且强度为1.2 Pa的流体剪切应力,观察Cav-1蛋白的表达,筛选出时间为60 min的条件进行实验。将MC3T3-E1细胞分为:对照组、流体剪切应力组、流体剪切应力+pcDNA 3.1组(对照)、流体剪切应力+pcDNA Cav-1组(过表达质粒),分别采用流体剪切应力和过表达Cav-1等方式干预,通过q RT-PCR和Western blot检测MC3T3-E1细胞内增殖以及凋亡相关分子的表达量;通过CCK-8与Ed U实验检测MC3T3-E1细胞增殖活性;采用Hoechst 33258染色以及流式细胞术检测MC3T3-E1细胞凋亡情况。结果与结论:加载流体剪切应力后MC3T3-E1细胞中Cav-1的表达显著下调,且加载60 min表达水平最低。过表达Cav-1减弱了流体剪切应力促进MC3T3-E1细胞增殖及抑制细胞凋亡的效应。说明Cav-1在流体剪切应力调节成骨细胞增殖和凋亡过程中具有重要的作用,并可能为骨质疏松症提供潜在治疗策略。

BACKGROUND:Fluid shear stress plays an important role in osteoblast proliferation and apoptosis.However,whether Caveolin-1 is involved in the process of fluid shear stress-induced proliferation and apoptosis in osteoblasts is unknown.OBJECTIVE:To explore the role of Caveolin-1 in fluid shear stress-regulated osteoblast proliferation and apoptosis.METHODS:The MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts in good growth status were selected and loaded with fluid shear stress at an intensity of 1.2 Pa for different times(0,30,60,90 minutes).The expression of Caveolin-1 protein was observed and conditions with a time of 60 minutes were screened for the experiment.MC3T3-E1 cells were divided into control group,fluid shear stress group,fluid shear stress+pcDNA 3.1 group(control),fluid shear stress+pcDNA Cav-1 group(plasmid overexpression),and intervened with fluid shear stress and overexpression of Cav-1,respectively.The expression of molecules related to proliferation and apoptosis in MC3T3-E1 cells was detected by qRT-PCR and western blot.In addition,the proliferative activity of MC3T3-E1 cells was detected by cell counting kit-8 and EdU assay;and cell apoptosis was detected by Hoechst 33258 and flow cytometry.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The expression of Caveolin-1 in MC3T3-E1 cells was significantly down-regulated after loading fluid shear stress,and the expression level was lowest after 60 minutes.Overexpression of Caveolin-1 attenuated the proliferation-promoting and apoptosis-suppressing effects of fluid shear stress in MC3T3-E1 cells.In conclusion,Caveolin-1 has a vital role in fluid shear stress-regulated osteoblast proliferation and apoptosis,which may offer a potential therapeutic strategy for osteoporosis.
