摘要:


文题释义:
细胞紧密连接:是一种在细胞间形成的特殊结构,主要存在于上皮细胞(如皮肤和消化道内壁)和内皮细胞(血管内壁)之间的连接部位。这些连接像“锁链”一样将相邻的细胞紧密地连接在一起,形成一道有效的屏障,防止物质随意通过细胞间的空隙。 
组蛋白去乙酰化酶4:是一类依赖锌的去乙酰化酶,属于第Ⅱa类组蛋白去乙酰化酶,具有去乙酰化酶的活性。近年来的研究发现,组蛋白去乙酰化酶4在大脑中表达丰富,可参与基因的转录调控、细胞凋亡、代谢等诸多生物进程。

背景:血脑屏障是保护中枢神经系统的重要结构,研究高糖对血脑屏障的影响对预防高糖导致的中枢神经系统损伤有重要意义。
目的:探讨高糖对hCMEC/D3人脑微血管内皮细胞血脑屏障功能的潜在影响。
方法:hCMEC/D3细胞分别以常规糖培养基(葡萄糖浓度25 mmol/L)和高糖培养基(葡萄糖浓度55 mmol/L)培养,光学显微镜观察细胞形态,CCK-8法检测细胞活力变化。采用Transwell小室将hCMEC/D3细胞系建立单层细胞血脑屏障模型,每日监测细胞跨膜电阻值变化,通过苯酚红透过率检测单层细胞的通透性,流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡率,Western blot检测细胞中Bcl-2、Bax、Caspase-3、ZO-1、Occludin、Claudin-1、组蛋白去乙酰化酶蛋白4的表达,ELISA检测细胞上清液中组蛋白去乙酰化酶水平,免疫荧光检测细胞中组蛋白去乙酰化酶4的表达。
结果与结论:①高糖组细胞活力显著低于对照组(P < 0.000 1);②对照组细胞生长状态良好,交织成致密网状,突触间相互连接;高糖组细胞生长受抑,细胞间突触连接减少;③与对照组相比,高糖组跨膜电阻值降低(P < 0.05),单层细胞膜苯酚红通透性增加(P < 0.05),细胞凋亡率升高(P < 0.01),Bax蛋白表达增加(P < 0.000 1),Caspase-3蛋白表达无明显变化(P > 0.05),Bcl-2、ZO-1、Occludin、Claudin-1、组蛋白去乙酰化酶4蛋白表达降低(P < 0.01,P < 0.001,P < 0.01,P < 0.000 1,P < 0.01),组蛋白去乙酰化酶4荧光表达降低(P < 0.001);④高糖组细胞上清液中组蛋白去乙酰化酶4水平低于对照组(P < 0.05)。结果表明,高糖诱导hCEMCE/D3细胞凋亡增加,通透性增强,其机制可能与组蛋白去乙酰化酶4表达水平降低有关。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: The blood-brain barrier is an important structure that protects the central nervous system, and the study of the effects of high glucose on the blood-brain barrier is important for the prevention of high glucose-induced damage to the central nervous system. 
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential effect of high glucose on the blood-brain barrier function of hCMEC/D3 human brain microvascular endothelial cells.
METHODS: hCMEC/D3 cells were cultured in regular sugar medium (glucose concentration of 25 mmol/L) and high-sugar medium (glucose concentration of 55 mmol/L). The morphology of cells in each group was observed by light microscopy. CCK-8 assay was used to detect changes in cell viability. A monolayer blood-brain barrier model was established using hCMEC/D3 cell line with Transwell chamber device. Changes in cell transmembrane resistance were monitored daily. The permeability of cell monolayers was detected by phenol red permeability. Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis rate of the cells. Western blot assay was used to detect the expression of Bcl-2, Bax, Caspase-3, ZO-1, Occludin, Claudin-1, and histone deacetylase 4. The levels of histone deacetylase in cell supernatant were detected by ELISA. The expression of histone deacetylase 4 in cells was detected by immunofluorescence. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The cell viability of high sugar group was significantly lower than that of control group (P < 0.000 1). (2) The cells of the control group were in a good growth state, interwoven into a dense mesh, with interconnections between synapses. The cell growth of high glucose group was suppressed, and the connection of inter-cellular synapses was reduced. (3) Compared with the control group, the transmembrane resistance value of the high glucose group was reduced (P < 0.05); phenol-red permeability of the monolayer cell membrane was increased (P < 0.05); cell apoptosis rate was increased (P < 0.01); the expression of Bax protein was increased (P < 0.000 1); the expression of Caspase-3 protein had no significant change (P > 0.05); the expression of Bcl-2, ZO-1, Occludin, Claudin-1, and histone deacetylase 4 proteins was decreased (P < 0.01, P < 0.001, P < 0.01, P < 0.000 1, P < 0.01); the fluorescence expression of histone deacetylase 4 was decreased (P < 0.001) in the high glucose group. (4) The level of histone deacetylase 4 in the cell supernatant of the high glucose group was lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The results show that high glucose induces the increased apoptosis and enhances permeability of hCEMCE/D3 cells, and its mechanism may be related to the decreased expression level of histone deacetylase 4.
