摘要: 目的 探究康复新液(KFX)对脂多糖(LPS)诱导的口腔黏膜上皮细胞(OMECs)炎症损伤的影响及其机制。方法 体外分离、鉴定、培养小鼠口腔黏膜上皮细胞(mOMECs),以不同稀释倍数(0、0.078%、0.156%、0.313%、0.625%、1.25%、2.5%、5%、10%)KFX及不同浓度(0、0.1、1、10 μg/mL)LPS分别处理mOMECs 48 h,采用CCK-8法检测细胞增殖活性,流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡水平,确定KFX和LPS干预的最佳浓度。将mOMECs分为对照组(Control)、LPS组(1 μg/mL LPS)、KFX组(0.625% KFX)、KFX+抑制剂对照组(KFX+inhibitor-NC)、KFX+miR-449a抑制剂组(KFX+miR-449a inhibitor)。采用CCK-8法检测细胞增殖活性,流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡水平,ELISA检测细胞培养上清中TNF-α和IL-1β水平,qRT-PCR检测细胞中miR-449a和Notch1 mRNA表达水平,Western blot检测细胞中Notch1、cleaved-Caspase-3、Bcl-2和Bax蛋白表达水平。通过生物信息学方法预测miR-449a与Notch1的靶向结合位点,双荧光素酶报告基因实验、qRT-PCR和Western blot验证miR-449a与Notch1的靶向调控关系。结果 与Control组比较,LPS组细胞增殖活性、miR-449a和Bcl-2蛋白表达水平降低(均P<0.05),细胞凋亡率,TNF-α和IL-1β水平、Notch1 mRNA及Notch1、cleaved-Caspase-3、Bax蛋白表达水平升高(均P<0.05);与LPS组比较,KFX组细胞增殖活性、miR-449a表达水平和Bcl-2蛋白表达水平升高(P<0.05),细胞凋亡率,TNF-α和IL-1β水平,Notch1 mRNA及Notch1、cleaved-Caspase-3、Bax蛋白表达水平降低(均P<0.05);与KFX组比较,KFX+miR-449a inhibitor组上述指标变化趋势与之相反(均P<0.05),而KFX+inhibitor-NC组无显著变化(P>0.05)。双荧光素酶报告基因实验、qRT-PCR和Western blot结果表明,miR-449a靶向抑制Notch1表达。结论 KFX可能通过miR-449a/Notch1轴改善LPS诱导的mOMECs炎症损伤。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of Kangfuxin liquid(KFX)on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced inflammatory injury in oral mucosal epithelial cells(OMECs)and its underlying mechanism. Methods Mouse OMECs(mOMECs)were isolated,identified,and cultured ex vivo,then treated with various concentrations of KFX(0,0.078%,0.156%,0.313%,0.625%,1.25%,2.5%,5%,10%)or LPS(0,0.1,1,10 μg/mL)for 48 h.Cell proliferation and apoptosis were assessed by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry,respectively,to determine the optimal concentrations of KFX and LPS for intervention.The mOMECs were then divided into the following groups:Control,LPS(1 μg/mL LPS),KFX(0.625% KFX),KFX+negative control inhibitor(KFX+inhibitor-NC),and KFX+miR-449a inhibitor.Cell proliferation was assessed by CCK-8 assay,and apoptosis by flow cytometry.The levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in the supernatant were measured by ELISA.The expression of miR-449a and Notch1 mRNA was determined by qRT-PCR.The protein expression levels of Notch1,cleaved-Caspase-3,Bcl-2,and Bax were detected by Western blotting.Potential binding sites between miR-449a and Notch1 were predicted using bioinformatics tools.The targeting relationship between miR-449a and Notch1 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay,qRT-PCR,and Western blotting. Results Compared with the Control group,the LPS group showed significantly decreased cell proliferation,miR-449a expression,and Bcl-2 protein levels(all P<0.05),along with increased apoptosis,TNF-α and IL-1β levels,Notch1 mRNA expression,and Notch1,cleaved-Caspase-3,and Bax protein levels(all P<0.05).Compared with the LPS group,the KFX group exhibited increased cell proliferation,miR-449a expression,and Bcl-2 protein levels(all P<0.05),and decreased apoptosis,TNF-α and IL-1β levels,Notch1 mRNA expression,and Notch1,cleaved-Caspase-3,and Bax protein levels(all P<0.05).Compared with the KFX group,the KFX+miR-449a inhibitor group showed reversed trends in all aforementioned indicators(all P<0.05),whereas no significant changes were observed in the KFX+inhibitor-NC group(P>0.05).Dual-luciferase reporter assay,qRT-PCR,and Western blotting confirmed that miR-449a targeted and inhibited Notch1 expression. Conclusion KFX may ameliorate LPS-induced inflammatory injury in mOMECs via the miR-449a/Notch1 axis.
