摘要
目的:观察绞股蓝总皂苷(gypenosides)对宫颈癌HeLa细胞的生长抑制作用,并初步探讨其可能的分子机制。方法:分别采用不同质量浓度的绞股蓝总皂[4.5μg/mL(低剂量组)、45μg/mL(中等剂量组)和450μg/mL(高剂量)]处理HeLa细胞,以0.9%氯化钠溶液处理的HeLa细胞作为对照组。分别采用MTT法和5-溴脱氧尿嘧啶核苷(5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine,BrdU)掺入法观察绞股蓝总皂苷对宫颈癌HeLa细胞的生长抑制作用;FCM法观察绞股蓝总皂苷对细胞凋亡的影响;蛋白质印迹法检测绞股蓝总皂苷对Bcl-2、Bax、细胞外调节蛋白激酶1/2(extracellular regulated protein kinases1/2,ERK1/2)、磷酸化ERK1/2(phospho-ERK1/2,p-ERK1/2)、丝裂原活化蛋白激酶激酶(mitogen-activate protein kinase kinase,MEK1/2)和p-MEK1/2蛋白表达的影响。结果:绞股蓝总皂苷质量浓度45μg/mL处理HeLa细胞24 h后细胞存活率显著降低(P<0.01),4.5μg/mL处理48 h后也能够显著降低HeLa细胞的存活率(P<0.01);BrdU掺入法检测结果提示,绞股蓝总皂苷质量浓度450μg/mL时能够抑制HeLa细胞的增殖。不同剂量的绞股蓝总皂苷处理HeLa细胞后,凋亡率均显著增加;Bcl-2和p-ERK1/2的表达下调,而Bax表达上调。结论:绞股蓝总皂苷对HeLa细胞具有凋亡诱导和增殖抑制作用,其机制可能与Bax表达上调以及Bcl-2、p-ERK1/2表达下调有关。
Objective: To investigate the inhibitory effect of gypenosides on proliferation of human uterine cervical cancer HeLa cells in vitro, and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods: The HeLa cells were treated with different concentrations of gypenosides (low-dose group, 4.5 I^g/mL; middle- dose group, 45 I^g/mL; high-dose group, 450 μg/mL). The cells treated with 0.9% sodium chloride solution was designed as a control group. The inhibitory effect of gypenosides on the proliferation of HeLa cells was detected by MTT assay and BrdU (5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine) incorporation experiment. The effect of gypenosides on apoptosis of HeLa cells was detected by FCM (flow cytometry). The expression levels of Bcl-2, Bax, ERK1/2 (extracellular regulated protein kinase 1/2), p-ERK1/2 (phospho-ERK1/2), MEK1/2 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase) and p-MEK1/2 were detected by Western blotting. Results: The survival rate of HeLa cells was decreased significantly after treatment with gypenosides (45 i,g/mL) at 24 h (P 〈 0.01). The survival rate of HeLa cells was decreased significantly after treatment with gypenosides (4.5 μg/mL) at 48 h (P 〈 0.01). The inhibitory effect of gypenosides (450 μg/mL) on the cell proliferation was confirmed by BrdU incorporation experiment. The apoptotic rate of HeLa cells was increased significantly after treatment with different concentrations of gypenosides. Gypenosides could down-regulate the expression levels of Bcl-2 and p-ERK1/2 and up- regulate the expression level of Bax. Conclusion: Gypenosides can significantly inhibit the proliferation of cervical cancer HeLa cells and also markedly induce the apoptosis. This effect may related to the up- regulation of Bax expression and down-regulation of Bcl-2 and p-ERK1/2 expressions.
