摘要:

文题释义:
椎间盘软骨终板细胞:椎间盘软骨终板是椎间盘的重要组成部分,其结构组成可以通过椎间盘的生物力学和营养供给保证椎间盘的稳定性和完整性。椎间盘软骨终板退变是导致椎间盘退变的主要因素之一,在应力变化、老龄化、炎性因子浸润等作用下,会影响椎间盘的营养供给及软骨终板细胞的生物功能,参与或加速椎间盘退变。
半乳糖凝集素3:又称为Galectin-3,是β-半乳糖苷结合动物凝集素家族之一,是脊椎动物中唯一的嵌合体型半乳凝素,它包含一个保守的碳水化合物识别结构域,该结构域通过胶原样连接区与非凝集素结构域连接。Galectin-3主要依赖碳水化合物的方式参与细胞增殖、分化、凋亡、细胞因子分泌等多种生理和病理过程。
背景:椎间盘软骨终板的退变破坏了椎间盘完整性,影响了营养和代谢物交换及细胞外基质代谢平衡,是导致椎间盘退变的主要因素。半乳糖凝集素3(Galectin-3)是半乳糖凝集素家族的一员,参与调控细胞增殖、凋亡、细胞黏附等多种生理和病理过程,但是Galectin-3在椎间盘软骨终板中的调控作用尚不明确。
目的:通过抑制剂GB1107干预Galectin-3,探讨其对大鼠软骨终板细胞增殖、凋亡、细胞周期的影响。
方法:将大鼠软骨终板细胞分为正常对照组和Galectin-3 GB1107抑制剂组,其中GB1107抑制剂组分为6个浓度组,即1,2.5,5,10,25和50 μmol/L组。MTT法检测3个时间点(12,24,48 h)各组椎间盘软骨终板细胞的增殖情况;采用最佳的抑制剂浓度25 μmol/L进行后续流式测定,检测大鼠软骨终板细胞凋亡和细胞周期的差异变化。
结果与结论:①Galectin-3抑制剂GB1107处理的大鼠软骨终板细胞的细胞增殖活性是浓度和作用时间依赖性的,在5-50 μmol/L浓度范围内,3个时间段的细胞增殖活性较正常对照组明显降低(P < 0.05);在25 μmol/L浓度下,软骨终板细胞凋亡率显著高于正常对照组(P < 0.05);②在抑制剂GB1107作用下,软骨终板细胞在G1期的数量显著高于正常对照组(P < 0.05),在G2期和S期,抑制剂GB1107组的细胞数量显著低于正常对照组(P < 0.05);③提示抑制Galectin-3可能会通过抑制软骨终板细胞DNA的复制,促进软骨终板细胞凋亡,导致椎间盘软骨终板的破坏,从而诱导椎间盘退变的发生和发展。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Cartilage endplate degeneration of the intervertebral disc destroys the integrity of the intervertebral disc and impacts the exchange of nutrition and metabolites and the metabolic balance of extracellular matrix, which is the main factor leading to intervertebral disc degeneration. Galectin-3, a member of galectin family, is expressed in various tissues and participates in the regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell adhesion and other physiological and pathological processes. However, the regulatory role of Galectin-3 in the cartilage endplate of the intervertebral disc is still unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Galectin-3 on the proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle of rat cartilage endplate cells through the intervention of GB1107, a Galectin-3 inhibitor.
METHODS: In this study, the rat cartilage endplate cells were divided into normal control group and Galectin-3 gb1107 inhibitor groups (1, 2.5, 5, 10, 25, and  50 μmol/L). MTT was used to detect the proliferation of cartilage endplate cells in each group at three time points (12, 24, 48 hours). The optimal concentration of 25 μmol/L was used for follow-up flow cytometry to detect the difference of cell apoptosis and cell cycle.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The proliferation activity of chondrocytes treated with GB1107 was concentration- and time-dependent. In the concentration range of 5-50 μmol/L, the proliferation activity of chondrocytes was significantly lower than that of the normal control group at all three observational time points (P < 0.05). At the concentration of 25 μmol/L, the apoptosis rate of cartilage endplate cells was significantly higher than that of the normal control group (P < 0.05). Under the effect of GB1107, the number of cartilage endplate cells at G1 stage was significantly lower than that in the normal control group (P < 0.05), while the cell number at G2 and S stage was significantly lower than that in the normal control group (P < 0.05). Thererfore, inhibition of Galectin-3 may inhibit the DNA replication of cartilage endplate cells to promote the apoptosis of cartilage endplate cells and lead to the destruction of cartilage endplate, thereby inducing the occurrence and development of intervertebral disc degeneration.

Key words: Galectin-3, intervertebral disc degeneration, cartilage endplate, cell proliferation, cell apoptosis
