摘要:

文题释义:
胰岛β细胞:是胰岛细胞中的一种内分泌细胞,位于胰岛的中部,可分泌胰岛素,在调节体内血糖水平的过程中起着重要的作用。当胰岛β细胞功能受到损伤时,会导致胰岛素分泌绝对或相对不足,发生胰岛素抵抗,使血糖异常升高,从而引发糖尿病。
EphA2:肝配蛋白A型受体2(EphA2)位于细胞膜上,是一种受体酪氨酸激酶,包含一个保守N端配体结合的胞外结构域、一个跨膜结构域和一个保守酪氨酸激酶结构域。Eph受体和相应的Eph受体相互作用(ephrin)的配体共同构成具有多种功能的关键细胞信号网络。

背景:同型半胱氨酸水平增加会导致胰岛β细胞发生凋亡,但其具体机制尚不明确。
目的:探讨胰岛β细胞中肝配蛋白A型受体2及其启动子区DNA高甲基化的具体机制。
方法:体外培养小鼠胰岛β细胞株Min6,将其分为对照组(0 µmol/L同型半胱氨酸)和同型半胱氨酸组(120 µmol/L同型半胱氨酸)。干预细胞48 h后,采用免疫荧光和Western blot法检测2组细胞中凋亡相关蛋白Bax、Bcl-2、半胱氨酰天冬氨酸特异性蛋白酶3表达情况;Western blot法检测DNA甲基化相关蛋白DNMT1、DNMT3a的表达水平;实时荧光定量PCR检测两组细胞中肝配蛋白A型受体2 mRNA水平;Western blot检测肝配蛋白A型受体2的蛋白表达情况;巢式甲基化特异性PCR检测EphA2启动子区DNA甲基化水平。 
结果与结论:①与对照组相比,同型半胱氨酸组胰岛β细胞中凋亡相关蛋白Bax和半胱氨酰天冬氨酸特异性蛋白酶3表达明显升高,Bcl-2表达明显下降;肝配蛋白A型受体2的mRNA和蛋白表达水平明显下降(P < 0.05); ②与对照组相比,同型半胱氨酸组肝配蛋白A型受体2 DNA甲基化水平明显升高(P < 0.05),同型半胱氨酸组胰岛β细胞中DNMT1蛋白表达明显增高(P < 0.05);③提示肝配蛋白A型受体2 DNA高甲基化在同型半胱氨酸致胰岛β细胞凋亡中的作用明显,而DNMT1可能参与其高甲基化过程。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Increased homocysteine levels lead to apoptosis of pancreatic β cells, but the exact mechanism remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the specific mechanism of DNA hypermethylation of Ephrin A receptor 2 (EphA2) and its promoter region in pancreatic β cells.
METHODS: Mouse insulinoma cell lines (Min6) were cultured in vitro and divided into control group (0 µmol/L homocysteine) and homocysteine group (120 µmol/L homocysteine). After 48 hours of intervention in the cells, immunofluorescence and western blot were used to test the expression of apoptosis-related proteins Bax, Bcl-2, and Caspase-3 in pancreatic islet β cells of the two groups. The expression levels of DNA methylation-related proteins DNMT1 and DNMT3a were detected by western blot. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qRT- PCR) was used to detect the level of EphA2 mRNA. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of EphA2. Nested methylation-specific PCR was used to detect the level of DNA methylation in the promoter region of EphA2.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the control group, the expression of apoptosis-related proteins Bax and Caspase-3 in the pancreatic β cells was significantly increased in the homocysteine group, and the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly decreased; the mRNA and protein expression levels of EphA2 were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the EphA2 DNA methylation level and the expression of DNMT1 protein in the pancreatic β cells were significantly higher in the homocysteine group (P < 0.05). To conclude, EphA2 DNA hypermethylation plays a significant role in homocysteine-induced pancreatic β cell apoptosis and DNMT1 may be involved in its hypermethylation process.

Key words: pancreatic islet β cells, homocysteine, apoptosis, Ephrin A receptor 2, DNA methylation
