摘要
目的从分子水平探讨姜黄素的降脂机制,为姜黄素作为降脂药物的临床开发提供科学依据。方法本研究运用油红O染色、酶法测定细胞内胆固醇含量,荧光染色检测细胞胆固醇摄取,RT-Q-PCR及Western blot检测姜黄素对HepG2细胞内胆固醇代谢相关因子在RNA和蛋白水平的表达。结果姜黄素组的HepG2细胞内红色脂滴明显增多,且TC及FC含量增高。Di I标记LDL,姜黄素组HepG2细胞橙红色荧光高于对照组。姜黄素能升高SREBP2和LDLR的mRNA和蛋白水平的表达;降低PCSK9蛋白成熟体及IDOL蛋白表达。结论姜黄素可能通过下调PCSK9及IDOL的表达,进而减少LDLR降解,促进HepG2细胞摄取LDL-C。
Aim To explore the lipid-lowering mechanisms of curcumin from the molecular levels and provide scientific basis for clinical development of lipidlowering drugs. Methods Using oil red O staining and enzymic to determinate the levels of cholesterol in HepG2 cells. Moreover,uptaking of Di I-LDL was also measured. The expressions of mRNA and protein were detected by RT-Q-PCR and Western blot. Results The red lipid droplets and the levels of TC and FC significantly increased in HepG2 cells after treated with curcumin. The orange red fluorescence was higher than that of control. Curcumin could promote the expression levels of mRNA and protein of SREBP2 and LDLR,what＇s more,curcumin could reduce the expression of the mature PCSK9 level and IDOL protein. Conclusion Curcumin accelerates LDL-C uptake probably via downregulating the expression of PCSK9 and IDOL in HepG2 cells.
