摘要

目的 研究补肾活血中药血清对加压纯化培养视网膜神经节细胞(retinal ganglion cells,RGCs)凋亡模型PI3K/Akt信号转导通路主要成员PDK及Akt表达的影响,探索补肾活血法保护RGCs的机制.方法 制备补肾活血中药含药血清,体外纯化SD大鼠RGCs,采取开放式压力控制培养系统建立体外加压培养RGCs凋亡模型,以50g·L-1、100g· L-1、200g· L-1血清浓度梯度补肾活血中药血清分别处理.将RGCs分为5组,分别为正常培养组(N组)、对照组(C组)、50 g· L-1补肾活血中药血清组(50 g·L-1BSHX组)、100g· L-1补肾活血中药血清组(100 g·L-1BSHX组)、200g·L-1补肾活血中药血清组(200 g·L-1BSHX组),Annexin V-FITC/PI双染检测细胞凋亡率,实时荧光定量PCR(qRT-PCR)检测补肾活血中药血清对RGCs PDK及AktmRNA表达水平的影响,Western blot检测各组PDK、Akt蛋白表达量.结果 Q-PCR检测各组mRNA结果:C组(0.04±0.01)与N组(1.00±0.04)相比,RGCs中PI3K、Akt的mRNA表达水平下降,差异均有统计学意义(均为P ＜0.05),而50 g·L-1、100 g·L-1、200 g·L-BSHX组(0.18±0.01、0.21±0.02,0.22±0.01、0.36±0.01,0.84±0.10、1.07±0.17)与C组相比,PI3K、Akt mRNA含量逐渐升高,差异均有统计学意义(均为P＜0.05).Western blot检测各组蛋白表达,C组与N组相比,细胞PI3K、Akt的蛋白表达水平下降,差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05),而50 g·L-1、100 g·L-1、200 g·L-BSHX组与C组相比,PI3K、Akt蛋白表达量逐渐升高,差异均有统计学意义(均为P＜0.05).结论 补肾活血中药血清抑制加压诱导的RGCs凋亡,其机制可能与激活PI3K/Akt信号转导通路有关.%Objective To investigate the influence of bushenhuoxue drug-containing serum on PI3K and Akt signaling pathway in purified retinal ganglion cell (RGCs) in vitro of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats,and to explore the protective mechanisms of bushenhuoxue recipe on RGCs.Methods At first,bushenhuoxue drug-containing serum was prepared,and the RGCs of SD rats were purified;after the apoptotic model of pressurized and purified RGCs was established successfully in vitro using open pressure control system,RGCs were dealt with 50 g · L-1,100 g · L-1,200 g · L-1 concentration gradient of bushenhuoxue drug-containing serum.Then the subjected cells were divided into normal culture group (N group),control group (C group),50 g · L-1 bushenhuoxue group (50 g · L-1 BSHX group),100 g · L-1 bushenhuoxue group (100 g · L-1 BSHX group),200 g · L-1 bushenhuoxue group (200 g · L-1 BSHX group).Finally,cell apoptotic rate was detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI staining,while real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of PI3K and Akt in each group respectively.Results The results of qRT-PCR detection showed that PI3K,Akt mRNA expression level in C group (0.04 ±0.01) was decreased compared with N group (1.00 ± 0.04),and the difference was statistically significant (all P＜0.05),while PI3K,Akt mRNA levels in 50 g · L-1,100 g · L-1 and 200 g · L-1 BXHX group (0.18 ±0.01,0.21 ±0.02,0.22 ±0.01,0.36 ±0.01,0.84 ±0.10,1.07 ± 0.17) were increased compared with the C group,and the difference was statistically significant (all P ＜0.05).The Western blot results of each group showed that PI3K,Akt protein expression level in C group was decreased compared with N group,with statistical difference (all P ＜ 0.05),while PI3 K,Akt protein expression levels in 50 g · L-1,100 g · L-1 and 200 g · L-1 BSHX group were increased compared with C group,with staffstical difference (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Bushenhuoxue drug-containing serum may inhibit the RGCs apoptosis induced by pressure,which may be related to the activation of PBK/Akt signal transduction pathway.
