摘要:

文题释义:

核因子E2相关性因子2(nuclear factor E2 related factor 2,Nrf2):作为一种关键转录因子,其特点是直接调节与抗氧化和解毒相关基因的表达水平,在正常情况下,Nrf2主要存在于细胞质中,处于低表达状态;然而,当细胞活性氧水平升高时,Nrf2会转移入细胞核与位于启动子区域的抗氧化反应元件结合,调节抗氧化蛋白,从而降低细胞活性氧和氧化应激产物,同时进一步增加抗氧化酶的表达,从而保护机体免受氧化应激和组织损伤。
血红素加氧酶1(heme oxygenase 1,HO-1):作为热休克蛋白家族的成员,除了抗氧化作用外,HO-1在软骨细胞的炎症和分解代谢中也起着重要的调节作用。

背景:既往研究表明,核因子E2相关性因子2/血红素加氧酶1信号通路在骨关节炎发生发展中至关重要,二甲双胍对软骨细胞具有一定的保护作用。
目的:探讨二甲双胍对脂多糖诱导的软骨细胞损伤的保护作用及机制研究。
方法:取SD大鼠软骨细胞进行体外分离培养和鉴定。选取第3代软骨细胞,分别用不同质量浓度的脂多糖(0,10,50,100,500,1 000和5 000 μg/L)和二甲双胍(0,50,100,500,1 000,5 000和10 000 μmol/L)处理细胞24 h,采用CCK8法检测细胞活性,筛选最适脂多糖和二甲双胍质量浓度。按照处理因素不同将软骨细胞分为空白组、脂多糖诱导组(5 000 μg/L)和脂多糖(5 000 μg/L)+二甲双胍组(1 000 μmol/L)。流式细胞术检测各组软骨细胞凋亡情况;通过活性氧、丙二醛和超氧化物歧化酶试剂盒检测细胞氧化应激;RT-PCR和Western Blot检测软骨细胞白细胞介素1β、环氧化酶2、Ⅱ型胶原、核因子E2相关性因子2和血红素加氧酶1的mRNA和蛋白表达。

结果与结论:①脂多糖降低了软骨细胞活力,诱导软骨细胞凋亡,而二甲双胍干预后细胞活力上升,凋亡率下降;②脂多糖诱导软骨细胞活性氧和丙二醛表达增加,超氧化物歧化酶活性下降,而二甲双胍干预后活性氧和丙二醛表达降低,超氧化物歧化酶活性增加;③脂多糖诱导软骨细胞白细胞介素1β、环氧化酶2表达增加,Ⅱ型胶原、核因子E2相关性因子2和血红素加氧酶1表达降低,而二甲双胍干预后白细胞介素1β和环氧化酶2表达降低,Ⅱ型胶原、核因子E2相关性因子2和血红素加氧酶1表达增加;④结果说明,二甲双胍能够抑制脂多糖诱导的软骨细胞损伤,发挥对软骨细胞的保护作用,其作用可能通过激活核因子E2相关性因子2/血红素加氧酶1信号通路实现的。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase 1 signaling pathway is crucial for the development of osteoarthritis, and metformin has a certain protective effect on chondrocytes.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of metformin on chondrocyte injury induced by lipopolysaccharide.
METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rat chondrocytes were isolated, cultured, and identified in vitro. Passage 3 chondrocytes were selected and treated with different concentrations of lipopolysaccharide (0, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1 000, and 5 000 μg/L) and metformin (0, 50, 100, 500, 1 000, 5 000, and 10 000 μmol/L) for 24 hours. Cell viability was then detected by cell counting kit-8 method, and the optimal mass concentrations of lipopolysaccharide and metformin were screened. According to different treatment factors, the chondrocytes were divided into blank group, lipopolysaccharide (5 000 μg/L) induced group, and 5 000 μg/L lipopolysaccharide +1 000 μmol/L group. Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Oxidative stress was detected by reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde, and superoxide dismutase kits. The mRNA and protein expressions of interleukin-1β, cyclooxygenase 2, type II collagen, nuclear factor E2-related factor 2, and heme oxygenase were detected by RT-PCR and western blot, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Lipopolysaccharide reduced the activity of chondrocytes and induced apoptosis of chondrocytes, while metformin increased the activity of chondrocytes and decreased the apoptosis rate. The levels of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde were increased and the activity of superoxide dismutase was decreased in lipopolysaccharide-induced chondrocytes, while treatment with metformin decreased the levels of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde and increased the activity of superoxide dismutase in lipopolysaccharide-induced chondrocytes. Lipopolysaccharide increased the expressions of interleukin-1β and cyclooxygenase-2 in chondrocytes, and decreased the expressions of type II collagen, nuclear factor E2-related factor 2, and heme oxygenase 1 in chondrocytes. After metformin intervention, the expressions of interleukin-1β and cyclooxygenase-2 were decreased, and the expression of type II collagen, nuclear factor E2-related factor 2, and heme oxygenase 1 were increased. To conclude, metformin can inhibit lipopolysaccharide-induced chondrocyte injury, possibly through the activation of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase 1 signaling pathway

Key words: metformin, osteoarthritis, oxidative damage, Nrf2/HO-1 pathway
