AIM: To investigate the effect of high concentration of glucose(HCG) on double stranded RNA-activated protein kinase-like ER kinase(PERK)-eukaryotic initiation factor-2α(eIF2α)-transcription factor C/EBP homologous ...AIM: To investigate the effect of high concentration of glucose(HCG) on double stranded RNA-activated protein kinase-like ER kinase(PERK)-eukaryotic initiation factor-2α(eIF2α)-transcription factor C/EBP homologous protein(CHOP)-cysteine aspartate specific proteinase(caspase-12) signaling pathway activation and apoptosis in rabbit corneal epithelial cells(RCECs). METHODS: RCECs were treated by different concentrations of glucose for 0-48 h. The expressions of PERK, p-PERK, eIF2α, p-eIF2α, 78 k Da glucose-regulated protein 78(GRP78), CHOP, B-cell lymphoma 2(Bcl-2), B-cell lymphoma-2-associated X protein(Bax) and caspase-12 were determined by Western blot. Apoptosis was detected by TUNEL assay. Meanwhile, the function of PERK-eI F2α-CHOP-caspase-12 signaling pathway activation in high glucose-induced apoptosis was evaluated using PERK inhibitor, GSK2606414. RESULTS: HCG significantly promoted the expression of p-PERK, p-eIF2α, GRP78, CHOP, Bax and cleaved caspase-12 in RCECs(P<0.05), while remarkably decreased the expression of Bcl-2 and caspase-12(P<0.05), and the alterations caused by glucose were in concentration-and time-dependent manners. Meanwhile, PERK and eIF2α expressions were not affected in all groups(P>0.05). TUNEL assay showed that the apoptosis rate of RCECs in the HCG group increased significantly in contrast with that in the normal concentration of glucose or osmotic pressure control group(P<0.05), and the apoptosis rate increased with the increase of glucose concentration within limits(P<0.05). GSK2606414 down-regulated the expression of p-PERK and p-eI F2α in the HCG group(P<0.05), while still did not affect the expression of PERK and eIF2α among groups(P>0.05). Correspondingly, GSK2606414 also significantly reduced the apoptosis rate induced by high glucose(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: HCG activates PERK-eIF2α-CHOPcaspase-12 signaling pathway and promotes apoptosis of RCECs.展开更多

The methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay was processed at 3, 6and 12 h separately while the detection of cell apoptosis at 6h only by flow cytometry.RESULTS: The viability of SDHCEC with 0.5 mg/m L,0.25 mg/m L, 0.125 mg/m L and 0.06 mg/m L TMP joint with800 μM hydrogen peroxide at 3h and 6h was significantly higher than that with 800 μM hydrogen peroxide only, P 【0.05. However, except 0.25 mg/m L, TMP with other concentrations joint with 800 μM hydrogen peroxide at12 h could not significantly inhibit decreased SDHCEC viability induced by 800 μM hydrogen peroxide. At 12 h,TMP of 0.5 mg/m L, 0.25 mg/m L, 0.125 mg/m L and 0.06 mg/m L could significantly inhibit SDHCEC early apoptosis induced by 800 μM hydrogen peroxide, most remarkable at 0.25 mg/m L TMP, P 【0.05.CONCLUSION: Our results suggested that hydrogen peroxide can induce apoptosis related damage to SDHCEC. TMP can protect SDHCEC from the damage,and the protective effects may be associated with its anti-apoptosis mechanism.展开更多
