摘要:

文题释义:

凋亡:是一种程序性细胞死亡,其特征是进行性的核和细胞质收缩、染色质浓缩和凋亡小体脱落。凋亡由称为半胱天冬酶的特定类型的半胱氨酸蛋白酶执行,一旦激活,就可以裂解细胞底物并导致细胞死亡。最常见的凋亡指标为抑制凋亡基因Bcl-2和促进凋亡基因BaxBcl-2增高,细胞凋亡减少;Bax增高,细胞凋亡增加。

微小RNA(miRNA):是一组内源性非编码小RNA,在动物、植物、病毒和其他生物中普遍存在,可调节将近60%的基因表达,这些基因负责细胞的增殖、分化、凋亡和其他生理过程。miRNA可以在多种疾病中异常表达,并对这些疾病的诊断和预后评估起重要作用。

背景:高蛋氨酸饮食可以导致ApoE-/-小鼠发生肝损伤,微小RNA(miRNA)参与细胞存活、分化和细胞凋亡等各种细胞过程,具有重要意义。

目的:探讨miR-148a-5p在高蛋氨酸饮食诱导ApoE-/-小鼠肝细胞凋亡中的作用。

方法:12ApoE-/-小鼠随机分为2组,每组6只,ApoE-/-对照组为普通饮食,ApoE-/-高蛋氨酸组为高蛋氨酸饮食。苏木精-伊红染色观察2组肝组织形态学变化;TUNEL染色观察肝细胞的凋亡情况;Western blot测定BaxBcl-2的表达改变;荧光定量PCR检测miR-148a-5p的表达;运用Target Scan靶基因预测软件预测miR-148a-5p的靶基因;双荧光素酶活性实验明确其靶向关系。

结果与结论:①与对照组相比,ApoE-/-高蛋氨酸组肝脏组织肝小叶结构发生明显紊乱,部分细胞呈胞浆疏松化变性,肝细胞凋亡增加,Bax的表达明显上升且Bcl-2的表达显著下降(P < 0.01);②荧光定量PCR结果显示,ApoE-/-高蛋氨酸组miR-148a-5p的表达增加(P < 0.05);③靶基因预测软件提示,Bcl-2为miR-148a-5p的潜在靶基因;④双荧光素酶活性实验确定了miR-148a-5p与Bcl-2的靶向关系(P < 0.05);⑤肝细胞中过表达miR-148a-5p后Bax的表达显著上升且Bcl-2的表达明显下降(P < 0.01);⑥提示在高蛋氨酸饮食诱导的ApoE-/-小鼠肝细胞中,miR-148a-5p通过负调控Bcl-2促进肝细胞凋亡,这可能是造成肝损伤的机制之一。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: High methionine diet can cause liver damage in ApoE-/-mice, and microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in various cell processes such as cell survival, differentiation, and apoptosis, which is of great significance.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of miR-148a-5p on ApoE-/- mouse hepatocyte apoptosis induced by high methionine diet.

METHODS: Twelve ApoE-/- mice aged 5 weeks were randomly divided into two groups with six ApoE-/- mice in each group: ApoE-/- control group was fed with a normal diet, and ApoE-/- high methionine diet group (ApoE-/-+HMD) was fed with a high methionine diet. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the morphological changes of liver tissues in the two groups. TUNEL staining was used to observe the apoptosis of hepatocytes. The expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 were detected by western blot. Fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-148a-5p. Target Scan prediction software was used to predict the target gene of miR-148a-5p, and double luciferase activity assay was used to verify the targeted relationship.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the control group, the hepatic lobular structure of the ApoE-/- mice with high methionine diet was obviously disturbed, and some cells showed cytoplasmic osteoporosis; hepatocyte apoptosis increased; the expression of Bax significantly increased and the expression of Bcl-2 significantly decreased (P < 0.01). Fluorescence quantitative PCR results showed that the expression of miR-148a-5p increased in the ApoE-/- mice with high methionine diet (P < 0.05). The target gene prediction software indicated that Bcl-2 was a potential target gene of miR-148a-5p, and the targeted relationship between miR-148a-5p and Bcl-2 was confirmed by the double luciferase activity assay (P < 0.05). After miR-148a-5p was overexpressed in hepatocytes, Bax expression increased and Bcl-2 expression decreased significantly (P < 0.01). In conclusion, miR-148a-5p promoted hepatocyte apoptosis through negative regulation of Bcl-2 in ApoE-/- mouse hepatocytes induced by high methionine diet, which may be one of the mechanisms causing liver injury.
