摘要:


文题释义:

尿石素A:存在于石榴和其他一些水果和坚果中的一类化合物鞣花酸和鞣花单宁的天然代谢产物,可改善线粒体和肌肉功能,具有抗氧化、抗炎、抗增殖及抗癌作用。
破骨细胞:起源于血系单核-巨噬细胞系统,是一种特殊的终末分化细胞,它可由其单核前体细胞通过多种方式融合形成巨大的多核细胞。破骨细胞是体内唯一具有骨吸收功能的细胞,在骨发育、生长、修复、重建中发挥重要的作用。
MAPK通路:是一类由脯氨酸介导的丝氨酸/苏氨酸活性的蛋白激酶,具有磷酸化高分子量多肽的功能,对细胞的增殖、分化、迁移及自噬和凋亡等过程进行调控。MAPK可通过激活后直接参与破骨前体细胞的分化成熟,也可通过自噬参与破骨细胞的分化。


背景:过度活跃的破骨细胞可破坏骨稳态,并在骨质疏松、脆性骨折、骨关节炎等相关性骨骼疾病的病理机制中起重要作用。研究证实,鞣花酸和鞣花单宁有抑制破骨细胞分化的潜能,尿石素A作为其天然代谢产物,具有抗氧化、抗炎、抗增殖及抗癌作用,但其对破骨细胞分化的影响及其潜在的分子机制尚不清楚。

目的:探讨尿石素A对核因子κB受体活化因子配体诱导破骨细胞分化的影响及作用机制。
方法:体外培养稳定生长的小鼠单核巨噬细胞白血病细胞(RAW264.7),使用细胞毒性MTS实验检测不同浓度尿石素A(0,0.1,0.5,1.5,2.5 μmol/L)对RAW264.7细胞的毒性,筛选出安全作用浓度。再使用不同浓度的尿石素A干预核因子κB受体活化因子配体诱导的RAW264.7细胞体外分化过程,进行抗酒石酸酸性磷酸酶染色和肌动蛋白环及细胞核染色,观察尿石素A对破骨细胞形成和功能的影响。最后通过Western Blot及RT-qPCR实验,观察尿石素A干预后丝裂原活化蛋白激酶信号通路中上下游基因和蛋白的表达情况。

结果与结论:①尿石素A呈浓度依赖性地抑制体外破骨细胞分化及肌动蛋白环形成,2.5 μmol/L的抑制作用最强;②尿石素A可抑制与破骨形成及骨吸收相关的Nfatc1、Ctsk、Mmp9、Atp6v0d2基因的表达及Nfatc1、Ctsk蛋白的合成;③尿石素A可通过抑制p38蛋白的磷酸化,抑制丝裂原活化蛋白激酶信号通路传导,从而抑制破骨细胞的活性。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Overactive osteoclasts disrupt bone homeostasis and play a bad role in the pathological mechanisms of related skeletal diseases, such as osteoporosis, fragility fractures, and osteoarthritis. Studies have confirmed that ellagic acid and ellagtannin have the potential to inhibit osteoclast differentiation. As their natural metabolites, urolithin A has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and anti-cancer effects, but its effect on osteoclast differentiation and its underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of urolithin A on osteoclast differentiation induced by receptor activator for nuclear factor-κB ligand and its mechanism.
METHODS: Mouse mononuclear macrophage leukemia cells (RAW264.7) that grew stably were cultured in vitro. Toxicity of urolithin A (0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 μmol/L) to RAW264.7 cells were detected by cytotoxic MTS assay to screen out the safe concentration. Different concentrations of urolithin A were used again to intervene with receptor activator for nuclear factor-κB ligand-induced differentiation of RAW264.7 cells in vitro. Then, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining and F-actin ring and nucleus staining were performed to observe its effect on the formation and function of osteoclasts. Finally, the expressions of urolithin A on upstream and downstream genes and proteins in the MAPK signaling pathway were observed by western blot and RT-qPCR assays.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Urolithin A inhibited osteoclast differentiation and F-actin ring formation in a concentration-dependent manner and 2.5 μmol/L had the strongest inhibitory effect. Urolithin A inhibited the mRNA expression of Nfatc1, Ctsk, Mmp9 and Atp6v0d2 and the protein synthesis of Nfatc1 and Ctsk, related to osteoclast formation and bone resorption. Urolithin A inhibited the activity of osteoclasts by downregulating the phosphorylation of p38 protein to inhibit the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway.
