目的通过动物和体外培养的软骨细胞观察糖基化终末产物(advanced glycation end products,AGEs)对软骨细胞线粒体功能的损伤作用,并探讨相关机制。方法小鼠膝关节腔直接注射AGEs,番红O-固绿染色评估病理学改变;JC-1检测线粒体膜电位ΔΨ...目的通过动物和体外培养的软骨细胞观察糖基化终末产物(advanced glycation end products,AGEs)对软骨细胞线粒体功能的损伤作用,并探讨相关机制。方法小鼠膝关节腔直接注射AGEs,番红O-固绿染色评估病理学改变;JC-1检测线粒体膜电位ΔΨm;Western blot检测腺苷酸活化蛋白激酶(adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase,AMPK)、过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ辅助活化因子α(peroxisome proliferator-activated receptorγcoactivator-1α,PGC-1α)、去乙酰化酶3(sirtuin3,SIRT3)及基质金属蛋白酶(matrix metalloproteinase,MMP)-3、-13的表达。结果膝关节注射AGEs 8周后,小鼠出现骨关节炎样病理改变;在体外培养的软骨细胞中,AGEs可以损伤线粒体功能,同时p-AMPK、SIRT3和PGC-1α的表达减少;给予AMPK选择性激动剂AICAR则可以拮抗AGEs的上述作用,而特异性敲除SIRT3或PGC-1α后,AICAR此拮抗作用减弱。结论AGEs可能通过下调AMPK-PGC-1α-SIRT3信号通路诱导软骨细胞线粒体功能损伤,进而促进OA病变。展开更多
