摘要
研究溶血卵磷脂(lysophosphatidylcholine,LPC)及其受体GPR4(G protein-coupled receptor4,GPR4)相互作用后对人脐静脉内皮细胞(human umbilical vein endothelial cells,HUVEC)增殖的影响及其凋亡的诱导。方法:采用脂质体2000将装有GPR4受体基因的pEFneo真核表达载体转染HUVEC,并通过G418(800μg/ml)筛选获得GPR4基因稳定表达细胞株;RT-PCR法检测转染前后GPR4受体的mRNA水平表达情况;MTT法检测细胞的生长活力;AO染色法观察LPC对HUVEC造成损伤后形态的改变;Western blot法检测LPC与其受体相互作用后对caspase-3前体表达的影响。结果:成功获得了GPR4基因稳定表达细胞株;随着LPC浓度的增加(0.5,1,2,4,8μmol/1),抑制率分别增加了3.1%,4.4%,9.3%,17.0%,25.7%;但caspase-3前体的表达却随着浓度的增加先增加后减少。结论:LPC及其受体GPR4相互作用后可抑制HUVEC的增殖,并对HUVEC造成损伤进而诱导凋亡,使caspase-3前体的表达先增加后减少。
Objective:To explore the expression of pro-caspase 3 and the proliferation of HUVEC (human umbilical vein endothelial cells,HUVEC)influcnccd by lysophosphaddylchollnc through its receptor GPR4. Methods:HUVEC cells were transfected with the expression plasmids pEFneo-GPR4(containing the GPR4 receptor gene) by the LipofectamineTM2000, and the neomydn-resitant(G418 sulfate at 800μg/ml for HUVEC cells )stable cell lines were selected. The expression of GPR4 receptor was detected by RT-PCR. HUVEC cells growth inhibition was measured by MTT assay. Impairement and configuration changes of the HUVEC caused by lysophosphaddylcholine were observed by AO dyes. Expression of pro-caspase 3 influenced by LPC through GPR4 receptor was detected by western blot. Results:Stable HUVEC cell lines, which can express the GPR4 receptor stably, were obtained. After treatment with (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8)μmol/l LPC for 16 h, result of MTT assay showed that the HUVEC cells growth inhibition compared with the control group increased 3.1%,4.4%,9.3%,17.0%, 25.7%, respectively. The expression of the pro-caspase 3 protein was promoted by LPC at the lower concentration of 0.5μmol/1, but inhibited at the higher concentration. Conclusions:LPC could induce the HUVEC apoptosis,inhibit the HUVEC proliferation and influence the expression of procaspase 3 protein through GPR4 receptors.
