摘要
目的:研究枯草溶菌素转化酶9(PCSK9)-siRNA对ox-LDL诱导的THP-1源性巨噬细胞凋亡中Caspase-3蛋白表达的影响。方法:用不同浓度ox-LDL处理THP-1源性巨噬细胞不同时间,Western blot检测Caspase-3蛋白表达变化。应用Li-pofectamine2000分别转染不同浓度PCSK9-siRNA进THP-1源性巨噬细胞中,作用24 h后加入ox-LDL处理48 h,Westernblot分析细胞Caspase-3蛋白表达。结果:随着ox-LDL浓度的增加,Caspase-3蛋白表达上调,呈浓度依赖性,80 mg/L ox-LDL处理组作用最为明显;80 mg/L ox-LDL处理THP-1源性巨噬细胞不同时间后,Western blot检测发现Caspase-3蛋白表达上调,呈时间依赖性,48 h处理组作用最为明显;PCSK9-siRNA能明显下调Caspase-3蛋白表达,呈浓度依赖性。结论:PC-SK9-siRNA抑制ox-LDL诱导的THP-1源性巨噬细胞凋亡与凋亡执行酶Caspase-3蛋白表达下调有关。
Objective:To demonstate the ffect of PCSK9-siRNA on the expression of Caspase-3 in ox-LDL-induced THP-1 macrophage cells.Methods:Different concentrations of ox-LDL were used to treat THP-1 macrophages at different times.Western blot detected Caspase-3 protein level.Lipofectamine2000 were transfected with different concentrations PCSK9 siRNAs(30,50,80 nmol/L) into THP-1 derived macrophages.After 24 hours,ox-LDL was added for 48 hours,Western blot examined Caspase-3 expression.Results:Ox-LDL increased Caspase-3 protein expression in a dose and time dependent manner.PCSK9-siRNA significantly reduced Caspase-3 protein expression in a dose dependent manner.Conclusion:PCSK9-siRNA inhibited the apoptosis of ox-LDL-induced THP-1 derived macrophages.The mechanism of this action may be related to the downregulation of Caspase-3.
