固醇调节元件结合蛋白2在软骨细胞退变过程中的表达(英文)

Expression of sterol regulatory element-binding protein-2 in the process of chondrocyte degeneration

背景:近期研究证实了固醇调节元件结合蛋白2基因在骨关节炎发生过程中起重要作用,但其具体发病机制尚未完全清楚。目的:通过白细胞介素1β体外诱导关节软骨细胞退变,观察固醇调节元件结合蛋白2在软骨细胞退变过程中的表达变化。方法:体外分离培养C57BL/6J小鼠关节软骨细胞,将第2代软骨细胞随机分为4组:对照组、白细胞介素1β24,48,72 h组。后3组细胞分别以10μg/L白细胞介素1β干预细胞。结果与结论:软骨细胞经白细胞介素1β刺激后呈肥大化表现,软骨细胞活性随白细胞介素1β刺激时间的延长而逐渐降低。与对照组相比,白细胞介素1β24,48,72 h组软骨细胞中固醇调节元件结合蛋白2与固醇调节元件结合蛋白裂解激活蛋白mR NA表达水平增加,而蛋白聚糖和Ⅱ型胶原mR NA表达水平降低。提示白细胞介素1β能抑制软骨细胞增殖和细胞重要基质成分表达,诱导其出现肥大化退行性改变,且在退变的过程中,固醇调节元件结合蛋白2表达逐渐上调,与软骨关键基因的表达呈负向变化关系。

BACKGROUND： Recent studies have demonstrated that sterol regulatory element binding protein-2 （SREBP-2） plays a key role in osteoarthritis, but its exact pathogenesis remains incompletely understood yet. OBJECTIVE：To investigate the expression of SREBP-2 in the process of interleukin-1β-induced articular chondrocyte degenerationin vitr0． METHODS： Articular chondrocytes obtained from C57BL/6J mice were culturedin vitr0． After the second passage, cels were randomly divided into four groups： control group, and three experimental groups treated with 10 μg/L interleukin-1β for 24, 48 and 72 hours, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION：The cels became hypertrophic after being stimulated by interleukin-1β, and the staining of colagen X was positive at 72 hours. MTT assay demonstrated that the cel activity after stimulation with interleukin-1β decreased with time. Results of RT-PCR showed that the expression of SREBP-2 and SREBP cleavage activating protein mRNA was significantly increased after stimulation with interleukin-1βas compared with the control group and increased with time. On the contrary, the expression of aggrecan and colagen II mRNA was decreased with time. It is revealed that interleukin-1β could inhibit the proliferation of regular chondrocytes and the expression of its extracelular matrix, and furthermore, induce chondrocyte hypertrophy. The expression of SREBP-2 showed a negative relationship with key cartilage genes during this interleukin-1β-induced degeneration.
