摘要
目的:观察脂肪酸酰胺水解酶(fatty acid amide hydrolase,FAAH)抑制剂URB597诱导人肝癌高转移细胞MHCC97H凋亡的作用,并探讨其机制。方法:给予不同浓度(1、5、10μmol/L)URB597与MHCC97H孵育,应用流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡率。采用蛋白质印迹技术检测凋亡诱导因子(apoptosis inducing factor,AIF)在细胞核中的水平,及凋亡相关蛋白Bcl-2和Bax的表达水平。采用caspase 3试剂盒检测caspase 3的活性变化。结果:(1)不同浓度(1、5、10μmol/L)URB597作用细胞1、4、7d后,凋亡细胞数目明显增加,呈时间-剂量依赖性;(2)不同浓度URB597作用96h后细胞内caspase3活性明显升高,且细胞核中AIF水平显著增加;(3)10μmol/L URB597作用细胞96h后,与对照组相比,Bcl-2水平明显下调,Bax水平明显上调,Bcl-2/Bax比值显著下降。PI3K抑制剂LY294002亦可显著降低Bcl-2/Bax比值,但与10μmol/L URB597作用相比,对Bcl-2/Bax比值的影响程度较低。结论:URB597可通过促进人肝癌细胞凋亡抑制其增殖,该作用与其下调Bcl-2/Bax比值,影响线粒体通透性,诱导caspase依赖和非caspase依赖的细胞凋亡有关,且部分依赖于PI3K/Akt通路。
Objective: To discuss the effects of fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitor URB597 on the apoptosis of human hepatoma cell line MHCC97H in vitro and its underlying mechanism. Methods: Different concentrations of URB597 (1, 5 and 10 μmol/L respectively) were administered to incubate MHCC97H. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the effects of URB597 on apoptosis in MHCC97H cells. Western-blot assay was applied to detect the levels of the apoptosis-inducing factors (AIF), Bcl-2 and Bax with or without URB597. Caspase 3 detection kit was used to determine the activity of easpase 3. Results: (1) Following treatment with URB597 at different concentrations (1, 5 and 10/,mol/L) for 1,4 and 7 days, the number of apoptot- ie cells was significantly increased with a time-dependent tendency. (2) After treatment with URB597 at different concentra- tions for 4 days, the activity of caspase 3 and AIF levels in the nucleus were increased significantly. (3) Following treatment with URB597 at a concentration of 10μmol/L for 4 days, the expression level of Bcl-2 was obviously down-regulated, while Bax level was obviously up-regulated, when compared with those of the control group, and the Bel-2/Bax ratio was obviously reduced. PI3K inhibitor LY294002 could also significantly reduce the Bel-2/Bax ratio. However, as compared with the 10 μmol/L control level, its effect on the Bcl-2/Bax ratio was relatively lower. Conclusion: URB597 could enhance the apopto- sis of MHCC97H cells by down-regulating the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax, further inducing caspase-dependent and easpase-independent cell apoptotic pathway, which was partial-dependent on PI3K/Akt signal pathway.
