目的探讨榅桲总黄酮对高糖诱导的人晶状体上皮细胞氧化损伤的影响及作用机制。方法用高糖诱导人晶状体上皮细胞建立细胞损伤模型。取人晶状体上皮细胞加入含有30 mmol·L^(-1)葡萄糖的培养基处理24 h,记为高糖组。用含有5.5 mmol·L^(-1)葡萄糖的培养基处理24 h记为对照组。取人晶状体上皮细胞按照每孔5×10^(3)个接种于96孔板,分别加入含有10 mmol·L^(-1)、20 mmol·L^(-1)、40 mmol·L^(-1)榅桲总黄酮与30 mmol·L^(-1)葡萄糖的培养基处理24 h,记为高糖+低榅桲总黄酮组、高糖+中榅桲总黄酮组、高糖+高榅桲总黄酮组。用Lipofectamine2000转染试剂向人晶状体上皮细胞分别转染anti-miR-NC、anti-miR-370,随后加30 mmol·L^(-1)葡萄糖处理24 h,命名为高糖+anti-miR-NC组、高糖+anti-miR-370组。分别向人晶状体上皮细胞转染miR-NC、miR-370 mimics,加30 mmol·L^(-1)葡萄糖的培养基及40 mmol·L^(-1)榅桲总黄酮处理24 h,记为高糖+榅桲总黄酮+miR-NC组、高糖+榅桲总黄酮+miR-370组。采用ELISA法监测超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性和丙二醛(MDA)含量,流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡率,qRT-PCR检测miR-370表达量,Western blot检测凋亡蛋白表达情况。结果与对照组相比,高糖组人晶状体上皮细胞SOD和CAT活性降低,MDA含量升高,差异均有统计学意义(均为P<0.05);与高糖组相比,高糖+低、中、高榅桲总黄酮组人晶状体上皮细胞SOD和CAT的活性升高,MDA含量降低,差异均有统计学意义(均为P<0.05)。与对照组相比,高糖组人晶状体上皮细胞凋亡率,Caspase-3、Caspase-9蛋白表达升高,差异均有统计学意义(均为P<0.05);与高糖组相比,高糖+低、中、高榅桲总黄酮组人晶状体上皮细胞凋亡率,Caspase-3、Caspase-9蛋白表达均降低,差异均有统计学意义(均为P<0.05)。对照组、高糖组、高糖+低榅桲总黄酮组、高糖+中榅桲总黄酮组、高糖+高榅桲总黄酮组人晶状体上皮细胞miR-370表达量分别为1.00±0.00、4.04±0.36、3.22±0.24、2.42±0.23和1.62±0.14,5组比较差异有统计学意义(F=256.138,P<0.05)。与高糖+anti-miR-NC组相比,高糖+anti-miR-370组人晶状体上皮细胞miR-370表达量降低,SOD和CAT活性升高,MDA含量降低,差异均有统计学意义(均为P<0.001)。与高糖+anti-miR-NC组相比,高糖+anti-miR-370组人晶状体上皮细胞凋亡率,Caspase-3、Caspase-9蛋白表达均降低,差异均有统计学意义(均为P<0.001)。与高糖+榅桲总黄酮+miR-NC组相比,高糖+榅桲总黄酮+miR-370组人晶状体上皮细胞SOD和CAT活性降低,MDA含量、细胞凋亡率、Caspase-3和Caspase-9蛋白表达升高,差异均有统计学意义(均为P<0.001)。结论高糖诱导的人晶状体上皮细胞中miR-370的表达升高,榅桲总黄酮可抑制高糖诱导的人晶状体上皮细胞氧化应激和凋亡,其作用机制可能与其能降低miR-370表达有关。

Objective To investigate the effect of total flavone of Cydonia oblonga on oxidative damage of human lens epithelial cells induced by high glucose and its mechanism.Methods A cell injury model was established by inducing human lens epithelial cells with high glucose.Human lens epithelial cells were cultured in the medium containing 30 mmol·L^(-1)glucose for 24 h,which was recorded as the high glucose group.Cells in the control group were cultured in a medium containing 5.5 mmol·L^(-1)glucose for 24 h.Human lens epithelial cells were inoculated into 96-well plates with 5×10^(3)cells per well,and treated with mediums containing 10 mmol·L^(-1),20 mmol·L^(-1),and 40 mmol·L^(-1)total flavone of Cydonia oblonga combined with 30 mmol·L^(-1)glucose for 24 h.They were recorded as high glucose+low total flavone of Cydonia oblonga group,high glucose+medium total flavone of Cydonia oblonga group,and high glucose+high total flavone of Cydonia oblonga group.Human lens epithelial cells were transfected with anti-miR-NC and anti-miR-370 with Lipofectamine2000 transfection reagent,and treated with 30 mmol·L^(-1)glucose for 24 h,which were recorded as high glucose+anti-miR-NC group and high glucose+anti-miR-370 group.Human lens epithelial cells were transfected with miR-NC and miR-370 mimics,and treated with medium containing 30 mmol·L^(-1)glucose and 40 mmol·L^(-1)total flavone of Cydonia oblonga for 24 h,which were labeled as high glucose+total flavone of Cydonia oblonga+miR-NC group and high glucose+total flavone of Cydonia oblonga+miR-370 group.The activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and catalase(CAT),and the content of malondialdehyde(MDA)were measured by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay;flow cytometry was applied to detect apoptosis rate;quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was applied to detect the expression level of miR-370;Western blot was applied to detect the expression of apoptosis-related proteins.Results Compared with the control group,the activities of SOD and CAT decreased and the content of MDA increased in the human lens epithelial cells of the high glucose group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05);compared with the high glucose group,the activities of SOD and CAT significantly increased and the content of MDA significantly decreased in the high glucose+low total flavone of Cydonia oblonga group,the high glucose+medium total flavone of Cydonia oblonga group and the high glucose+high total flavone of Cydonia oblonga group(all P<0.05).Compared with the control group,apoptosis rate,and protein expressions of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 of human lens epithelial cells in the high glucose group significantly increased(all P<0.05);compared with the high glucose group,the apoptosis rate,Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 protein expressions of human lens epithelial cells in the high glucose+low total flavone of Cydonia oblonga group,high glucose+medium total flavone of Cydonia oblonga group,and high glucose+high total flavone of Cydonia oblonga group significantly decreased(all P<0.05).The expression levels of miR-370 in human lens epithelial cells were 1.00±0.00,4.04±0.36,3.22±0.24,2.42±0.23 and 1.62±0.14 in the control group,high glucose group,high glucose+low total flavone of Cydonia oblonga group,high glucose+medium total flavone of Cydonia oblonga group,and high glucose+high total flavone of Cydonia oblonga group,respectively.There was a statistically different significance among the five groups(F=256.138,P<0.05).Compared with the high glucose+anti-miR-NC group,the expression of miR-370 significantly decreased,the activities of SOD and CAT significantly increased,and the content of MDA significantly decreased in human lens epithelial cells of the high glucose+anti-miR-370 group(all P<0.001).Compared with the high glucose+anti-miR-NC group,apoptosis rate,and protein expressions of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 of the human lens epithelial cells in the high glucose+anti-miR-370 group significantly decreased(all P<0.001).Compared with the high glucose+total flavone of Cydonia oblonga+miR-NC group,the activities of SOD and CAT significantly decreased,and the content of MDA,apoptosis rate,and protein expressions of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 significantly increased in the human lens epithelial cells of high glucose+total flavone of Cydonia oblonga+miR-370 group(all P<0.001).Conclusion The expression of miR-370 increases in high glucose-induced human lens epithelial cells.Total flavone of Cydonia oblonga can inhibit the oxidative stress and apoptosis of high glucose-induced human lens epithelial cells,and the mechanism may be related to the decreased expression of miR-370.
