摘要: 目的 基于缺氧诱导因子-1α(HIF-1α)/腺病毒E1B相互作用蛋白3(BNIP3)信号通路,探究甘草次酸对索拉非尼诱导的心肌细胞损伤及凋亡的影响。方法 MTT检测筛选甘草次酸作用于大鼠心肌细胞H9c2的浓度,随后将实验分为Control组、索拉非尼组、索拉非尼+甘草次酸组、索拉非尼+甘草次酸+HIF-1α抑制剂YC-1组、索拉非尼+甘草次酸组+YC-1+自噬激动剂雷帕霉素(RAPA)组。试剂盒测定乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)释放量、丙二醛(MDA)水平,荧光探针法测定细胞内总活性氧(ROS)水平,流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡,免疫荧光法检测LC3蛋白的表达及BNIP3与LC3的细胞内共定位,Western blot检测线粒体自噬相关蛋白LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ、p62、Beclin-1的表达,qRT-PCR及Western blot分别检测HIF-1α、BNIP3 mRNA及蛋白的表达水平。结果 相对于索拉非尼组,添加100、200 μmol/L甘草次酸处理的H9c2细胞活力显著提升(均P<0.05)。相对于Control组,索拉非尼组H9c2细胞的LDH释放量、MDA及ROS水平显著上调,细胞的凋亡率显著升高,细胞中LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ、Beclin-1蛋白的表达水平明显降低,p62水平显著上调,细胞中LC3荧光强度减弱,LC3和BNIP3共定位荧光强度减弱,HIF-1α、BNIP3 mRNA及蛋白的表达显著下调(均P<0.05);相对于索拉非尼组,索拉非尼+甘草次酸组H9c2细胞的LDH释放量、MDA及ROS水平显著下调,细胞的凋亡率显著降低,细胞中LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ、Beclin-1蛋白的表达水平显著上调,p62水平显著下调,细胞中LC3荧光强度增强,LC3和BNIP3共定位荧光强度增强,HIF-1α、BNIP3 mRNA及蛋白的表达显著上调(均P<0.05);YC-1能显著逆转以上指标(均P<0.05),RAPA能显著抑制YC-1的作用(均P<0.05)。结论 甘草次酸能够通过激活HIF-1α/BNIP3信号通路促进线粒体自噬抑制索拉非尼诱导的心肌细胞损伤及凋亡。

Abstract: Objective The effects of glycyrrhetinic acid on sorafenib-induced cardiomyocyte injury and apoptosis were investigated via the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa-interacting protein 3(BNIP3)signaling pathway. Methods MTT was used to determine the effects of glycyrrhetinic acid on H9c2 cells in rat cardiomyocytes.The experiment was divided into control group,sorafenib group,sorafenib+glycyrrhetinic acid group,sorafenib+glycyrrhetinic acid+HIF-1α inhibitor YC-1 group,and sorafenib+glycyrrhetinic acid+YC-1+autophagy agonist rapamycin(RAPA)group.A kit was used to determine LDH release and MDA levels.The fluorescent probe method was used to determine the level of total ROS in the cells.Apoptosis was detected via flow cytometry.Immunofluorescence was used to detect the protein expression of LC3 and the colocalization of BNIP3 and LC3.The expression levels of the mitochondrial autophagy-related proteins LC3 II/I,p62 and Beclin-1 were detected via Western blotting.RT-qPCR and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of HIF-1α and BNIP3,respectively. Results Compared with that in the sorafenib group,the viability of H9c2 cells in the 100 and 200 μmol/L glycyrrhetinic acid groups was significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with those in the control group,LDH release and the MDA and ROS levels in H9c2 cells in the sorafenib group were significantly up-regulated(P<0.05);the apoptosis rate of cells was significantly increased(P<0.05);the expression levels of LC3 II/I and Beclin-1 protein were significantly down-regulated(P<0.05);and the levels of p62 were significantly up-regulated(P<0.05);the fluorescence intensity of LC3 in H9c2 cells was weakened,and the co-localization of LC3 and BNIP3 in H9c2 cells was reduced,the mRNA and protein expression levels of HIF-1α and BNIP3 were significantly down-regulated(P<0.05).Compared with those in the sorafenib group,LDH release and the MDA and ROS levels in H9c2 cells in the sorafenib+glycyrrhetinic acid group were significantly down-regulated(P<0.05);the apoptosis rate of H9c2 cells was significantly reduced(P<0.05);the expression levels of LC3 II/I and Beclin-1 proteins were significantly up-regulated(P<0.05);the p62 levels were significantly down-regulated(P<0.05);the fluorescence intensity of LC3 in H9c2 cells was enhanced,the colocalization of LC3 and BNIP3 in H9c2 cells was enhanced,the mRNA and protein expression levels of HIF-1α and BNIP3 were significantly up-regulated(P<0.05).YC-1 significantly reversed these effects(P<0.05),and RAPA significantly inhibited the effect of YC-1(P<0.05). Conclusion Glycyrrhetinic acid can promote mitophagy by activating the HIF-1α/BNIP3 signaling pathway and can inhibit sorafenib-induced cardiomyocyte injury and apoptosis.
