    • 摘要:
      目的  探究姜黄素通过抑制胰岛素样生长因子2(insulin-like growth factor 2,IGF2)缓解氧化低密度脂蛋白(oxidized low-density lipoprotein,ox-LDL)诱导的细胞损伤的分子机制,以阐明姜黄素治疗动脉粥样硬化的分子机制。
      方法  通过ox-LDL处理人脐静脉内皮细胞(human umbilical vein endothelial cells,HUVECs)构建细胞模型,通过实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应(quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction,qRT-PCR)检测IGF2 mRNA的表达水平;CCK8和EdU检测细胞活力和增殖水平;流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡比率;蛋白免疫印迹检测IGF2、Bax和Bcl-2蛋白水平;酶联免疫吸附法测定TNF-α、IL-1β和IL-6的浓度。
      结果  与对照组相比,ox-LDL组IGF2 mRNA和蛋白表达升高(P<0.05,P<0.01),细胞增殖水平降低(P<0.01),细胞凋亡率升高(P<0.01),Bax水平升高,Bcl-2水平降低(P<0.01);TNF-α、IL-1β和IL-6浓度升高(P<0.01);p-p65/p65蛋白水平升高(P<0.01)。ox-LDL+姜黄素组较ox-LDL组IGF2 mRNA和蛋白表达降低(P<0.05,P<0.01),细胞增殖水平升高(P<0.01),细胞凋亡率降低(P<0.05),Bax水平降低(P<0.01),Bcl-2水平升高(P<0.05);TNF-α、IL-1β和IL-6浓度降低(P<0.05,P<0.01);p-p65/p65蛋白水平降低(P<0.01)。ox-LDL+姜黄素+oe-IGF2组较ox-LDL+姜黄素组IGF2 mRNA和蛋白表达升高(P<0.01),细胞增殖水平降低(P<0.01),细胞凋亡率增加(P<0.05),Bax水平升高,Bcl-2水平降低(P<0.01);TNF-α、IL-1β和IL-6浓度升高(P<0.05,P<0.01);p-p65/p65蛋白水平升高(P<0.01)。

      Abstract:
      AIM  To explore the molecular mechanism of curcumin in alleviating oxidative low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) induced cell damage by inhibiting insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2), so as to elucidate the role of curcumin in treating atherosclerosis.
      METHODS  Cell model was created by ox-LDL induced Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and the expression level of IGF2 mRNA was detected by qRT-PCR. CCK8 and EdU were used to detect cell viability and proliferation. The apoptosis rate was measured by flow cytometry. The levels of IGF2, Bax and Bcl-2 were tested by Western blotting. The concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 were determined by ELISA.
      RESULTS  Compared with the control group, IGF2 mRNA and protein level in ox-LDL group were increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), together with decreased cell proliferation level (P<0.01). The results also reported increased apoptosis rate (P<0.01), increased Bax protein level, as well as decreased Bcl-2 protein level (P<0.01); The observation also included increased concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 (P<0.01), coupled with increased p-p65/p65 level (P<0.01). Compared with ox-LDL group, the group of ox-LDL with added curcumin showed decreased IGF2 mRNA and protein level (P<0.05, P<0.01), increased cell proliferation level (P<0.01), decreased cell apoptosis rate (P<0.05), decreased Bax protein level (P<0.01) and elevated Bcl-2 protein level (P<0.05); The concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 dropped (P<0.05, P<0.01); The p-p65/p65 level was decreased (P<0.01). In comparison, the ox-LDL+ curcumin +oe-IGF2 group showed increased IGF2 mRNA and protein expression (P<0.01), reduced cell proliferation level (P<0.01), and the rise of cell apoptosis rate (P<0.05) and Bax protein level (P<0.01). Bcl-2 protein level declined (P<0.01); The concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 were increased (P<0.05, P<0.01); The p-p65/p65 level was elevated (P<0.01).
      CONCLUSION  Curcumin alleviates ox-LDL-induced apoptosis and inflammation by inhibiting IGF2-mediated NF-κB pathway.
