摘要
探讨胰高血糖素样肽-1受体激动剂Exendin-4(Ex-4)在氧化损伤诱导胰岛β细胞凋亡中的保护作用。培养的MIN6胰岛β细胞,通过AO-EB染色观察细胞凋亡形态,Annexin-V-PI染色流式技术测定凋亡率,Griess法检测细胞内一氧化氮水平,Western blotting检测胞浆iNOS蛋白、胞浆及胞核核因子-κBp65(NF-κBp65)蛋白表达水平。Ex-4可抑制叔丁基过氧化氢(t-BHP)诱导的β细胞凋亡,Ex-4(100 nmol.L-1)预处理较单独t-BHP处理,其凋亡率减少约67%(P<0.001)。Ex-4同时减少NO水平的增高,并抑制t-BHP诱导的β细胞NF-κBp65活化及iNOS蛋白表达水平。Ex-4可能通过抑制细胞内NF-κB活化、胞浆iNOS表达来抑制NO水平,最终减轻氧化损伤诱导的β细胞凋亡。
To explore the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist -Exendin4 (Ex--4)on murine MIN6 pancreatic β-cells apoptosis induced by oxidative stress, the morphological changes of cell damage were evaluated by epifluorescence microscopy after staining with AO-EB. The percentage of cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometric assay after Annexin-V-FITC-PI staining. Nitric oxide level was measured by Griess reagent assay. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein and NF-κBp65 fragment were detected by Western blotting. Ex4 inhibited the increase of nitrite level and percentage of apoptosis induced by t-BHP in MIN6 cells. Furthermore, Ex-4 partly reduced the expression of iNOS protein and the ratio of NF-κBp65 protein in nucleus:cytosol induced by t-BHP. These results suggest that Ex-4 protects MIN6 pancreatic β-cells from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis via down-regulation of NF-κB-iNOS-nitric oxide pathway.
