摘要
目的探讨水通道蛋白(AQP)-1与椎间盘终板细胞凋亡的关系及意义。方法将23个含终板的完整椎间盘分为4组:A组直接把取出的新鲜完整的椎间盘作为对照(椎间盘×5),B组为无干预组[进行培养但不加白细胞介素(IL)-1β,椎间盘×6],C组加入10μ/L IL-1β(椎间盘数×6),D组加入30μg/L IL-1β(椎间盘数×6)。B、C、D组培养2周后取组织的相邻切片,免疫组织化学检测AQP-1和Caspase-3的表达。结果免疫组织化学显示A组中AQP-1和Caspase-3阳性细胞率分别为(88.4±1.1)%和(5.5±0.8)%,B组阳性细胞率分别为(86.7±1.4)%和(6.3±1.6)%,C组中阳性细胞率分别为(42.8±2.2)%和(62.0±1.7)%,D组阳性细胞率分别为(30.5±2.O)%和(71.8±1.23)%,AQP-1与Caspase-3表达呈负相关。结论AQP—1表达减少与终板细胞的凋亡密切相关。
Objective To investigate the relationship between aquaporin-1 and apoptosis of enplate chondrocytes in the intervertebral disc. Methods 23 naturally constrained intervertebral disc/endplate units were divided into 4 groups randomly. Group A (n = 5 ) were used as the control, group B, C, D (n = 6,6,6 ) were cultured in multi-well plate 2 weeks. Group B were not treated by IL-1β, and group C, D were treated by IL-1β 10μ/L and 30μg/L separately. The expression of aquaporin-1 and Caspase-3 were examined by immunohistoehemical staining. Results The immunohistochemical staining showed that the rate of AQP-1 and Caspase-3 positive-staining cells in group A were ( 88.4 ± 1.1 ) % and ( 5.5± 0.8) %. The rate of AQP-1 and Caspase-3 positive-straining cells in group B were ( 86.7 ± 1.4) % and (6.3 ± 1.6)%. The rate of AQP-1 and Caspase-3 positive-staining cells in group C and group D were (42.8 ± 2.2) %, (62.0 ±1.7 ) % and ( 30.5±2.0) %, (71.8 ±1.23 ) %. As the concentrations of IL- 1β increased ,the expression of AQP-1 was significantly decreased and the expression of Caspase-3 was significantly increased. The expression AQP-1 and Caspase-3 was a negative correlation. Conclusion The decreased expression of AQP-1 may lead to apoptosis of enplate chondrocytes in the intervertebral disc, and it may be as a target to prevent apoptosis of enplate chondrocytes, and then treat or delay the intervertebral disc degeneration.
