白花蛇舌草对人胃癌细胞MNK-45线粒体膜电位及凋亡相关基因表达的影响*

目的: 探讨白花蛇舌草(注射液)对人胃癌细胞MNK-45线粒体膜电位及凋亡相关基因表达的影响。方法: 将人胃癌细胞MNK-45分成4组,每组设置3个复孔,对照组为未加入白花蛇舌草的MNK-45细胞,3组实验组分别加入终浓度为20、30、40 μg/ml白花蛇舌草的MNK-45细胞,各组在5％的CO₂培养箱中孵育48 h后,利用激光共聚焦显微镜下观察细胞形态变化,流式细胞术检测线粒体膜电位,qRT-PCR检测Cytochrome C (Cyt c)、caspase3和caspase9基因的表达变化,Western blot检测Cytochrome C (Cyt c)、caspase3和caspase9蛋白的表达变化。结果: 与对照组相比,终浓度为20、30、40 μg/ml的各白花蛇舌草处理组,其MNK-45细胞的线粒体膜电位均明显降低(P＜0.01),Cyt c、caspase3和caspase9的基因表达均明显上调(P＜0.01)、蛋白表达也均显著升高(P＜0.05或 P＜0.01),40 μg/ml的白花蛇舌草处理组的表现最佳。结论: 在终浓度为20~40 μg/ml的范围内,白花蛇舌草能够降低人胃癌MNK-45细胞线粒体膜电位, 诱导细胞凋亡,并可上调Cyt c、caspase3和caspase9基因表达。

Effects of hedyotis diffusa on mitochondrial membrane potential and expressions of apoptosis-related genes in human gastric cancer cell line MNK-45

Objective: To investigate the effects of hedyotis diffusa (injection) on mitochondrial membrane potential and expressions of apoptosis-related genes in human gastric cancer cell line MNK-45 cells. Methods: The human gastric cancer MNK-45 cells were divided into 4 groups, each group was set with 3 replicates. The control group was MNK-45 cells without added hedyotis diffusa; the 3 groups of experimental groups were treated with hedyotis diffusa at final concentrations of 20 , 30, 40 μg / ml respectively; each group was incubated for 48 h in a 5% carbon dioxide incubator, and the morphological changes of the cells were observed under a laser confocal microscope. Mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by flow cytometry. The expressions of Cytochrome C (Cyt c), caspase3 and caspase9 genes and proteins were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot respectively. Results: Compared with the control group, the mitochondrial membrane potentials of MNK-45 cells were significantly reduced in the hedyotis diffusa treated groups at final concentrations of 20, 30, and 40 μg / ml (P＜0. 01). The gene expressions of Cyt c, caspase3, and caspase9 were significantly up-regulated (P＜0. 01) and their protein expressions were also significantly increased (P＜0. 05 or P＜0. 01). The 40 μg / ml hedyotis diffusa treatment group performed best. Conclusion: In the final concentration range of 20 ~ 40 μg / ml, hedyotis diffusa can reduce human gastric cancer MNK-45 cells mitochondrial membrane potential, induce apoptosis and up-regulate Cyt c, caspase3 and caspase9 gene expressions.
