摘要: 目的 探讨内质网应激在脂多糖(lipopolysaccharide,LPS)诱导的肝细胞凋亡中的作用。 方法 肝细胞系BRL细胞培养,用LPS、内质网应激诱导剂毒胡萝卜素(thapsigargin,TG)、内质网应激抑制剂4-苯基丁酸(4-phenylbutyric acid,4-PBA)分别或组合处理肝细胞。用MTT比色法检测细胞活力的变化,Heochst 33258荧光染色检测细胞凋亡形态的变化,Annexin V-FITC/PI双染流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡率,Western印迹法检测内质网应激标志蛋白GRP78和内质网应激相关的凋亡蛋白CHOP、caspase-12和激活型caspase-3的表达。 结果 LPS引起肝细胞活力降低、细胞凋亡率明显增加,并具有量效和时效关系,LPS诱导GRP78、CHOP、caspase-12和激活型caspase-3的表达上调;TG可引起肝细胞活力降低和细胞凋亡增加,并能加重LPS引起的肝细胞损伤;4-PBA明显抑制LPS引起的肝细胞凋亡增加。 结论 内质网应激参与介导了LPS引起的肝细胞凋亡,提示内质网应激是LPS诱导肝细胞损伤的重要发病途径。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced hepatocyte apoptosis. Methods Cells of the rat hepatocyte line BRL were cultured. The hepatocytes were treated with LPS, ERS inducer thapsigargin (TG), and ERS inhibitor 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA), respectively or in their different combination. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay. The cyto-nuclear morphological changes of apoptosis cells were detected by the fluorescent dye Hoechst 33258. The apoptosis rate was assessed by flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC/PI double-staining. Expressions of GRP78 as ERS marker protein, CHOP, caspase-12 and cleaved-caspase-3 as ERS related protein were detected by Western blotting. Results LPS could cause a decrease in cell viability and an increase in apoptosis rate in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The expression of GRP78, CHOP, caspase-12 and cleaved-caspase-3 proteins were significantly increased with LPS treatment. TG led to a marked decrease in cell viability and an increase in apoptosis rate, which aggravated the hepatocyte injury induced by LPS; whereas 4-PBA alleviated LPS-induced apoptosis. Conclusion ERS mediates LPS-induced hepatocyte injuries, indicating that ERS may play a vital role in the pathogenesis of LPS-induced hepatocyte injuries.
