[摘要] 探讨牛磺酸(taurine,Tau)通过p-p38通路对牛肺主动脉内皮细胞(PAECs)中ICAM-1,VCAM-1的影响及其作用机制。原代培养PAECs取4~12代细胞用于实验。分为5组:对照(control)组、缺氧(hyp)组、抑制剂(SB203580)组、给药(Tau)组、抑制剂+给药(SB+Tau)组,Tau的给药浓度为100 mmol·L-1,p38抑制剂SB203580浓度为20 μmol·L-1,给药时间为12 h。MTT检测不同浓度Tau对PAECs的抑制。使用Western blot及Real-time PCR方法检测p38通路蛋白及炎症因子ICAM-1,VCAM-1的表达情况。使用免疫荧光检测p38核位移情况。MTT结果显示随着Tau浓度增加,对PAECs增殖抑制增强。Western blot和Real-time PCR结果显示在蛋白水平及基因水平Tau都抑制ICAM-1,VCAM-1的表达。Western blot的结果和免疫荧光的结果均显示Tau可以抑制p38蛋白的活化。Tau可能通过p38 MAPK通路抑制由缺氧引起的牛肺主动脉内皮细胞中ICAM-1,VCAM-1的表达。

[Abstract] To investigate the effect of taurine(Tau) on ICAM-1, VCAM-1 by p-p38 pathway in bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells(PAECs) and explore its mechanism of action. Generation 4-12 cells in primary cultures of PAECs were used in experiments and divided into five groups: control group, hypoxia(hyp) group, inhibitor(SB203580) group, treatment(Tau) group, and treatment+inhibitor(SB+Tau) group. The concentration of Tau:100 mmol·L-1; p38 inhibitor SB203580: 20 μmol·L-1; and the treatment time was 12 h. MTT assay was used to detect the inhibitory effect of different concentrations of Tau on PAECs. Western blot and Real-time PCR method were used to detect the p38 pathway proteins and ICAM-1, VCAM-1 expression levels. Immunofluorescence was used to investigate p38 nuclear displacement situation. The results of MTT showed that the inhibitory effect was gradually increased with increasing concentrations of Tau. Western blot and RT-PCR revealed that the protein and mRNA expression levels of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 were reduced by Tau. Western blot and immunofluorescence showed Tau can inhibit p38 activation. Tau may decrease the expression levels of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 in endothelial cells induced by hypoxia through MAPK p38 pathway.

牛磺酸以游離状态存在于人体体液和细胞中,但含量较低,据文献报道通过体外摄取牛磺酸达到较高水平时对心血管疾病、糖尿病等具有治疗作用。其还与缺血性心脏病的死亡率呈负相关,具有内皮保护、抗氧化、抗内源性损伤、降低高胆固醇血症、抗平滑肌细胞增殖和凋亡等作用,并可抑制血管紧张素Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ)的释放,但关于牛磺酸抗炎相关作用的文献却鲜少报道[1-2]。

p38属于分裂原激活的蛋白激酶(mitogen activated protein kinases,MAPK)家族是一种非常保守的丝氨酸、苏氨酸蛋白激酶,是信号转导过程中一组主要的信号分子,p38通路的激活可促进多种促炎因子的表达和释放,是调整炎症反应的重要通路之一[3]。细胞间黏附分子-1(intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1,ICAM-1)和血管细胞黏附分子-1(vascular cell adhesion molecule-1,VCAM-1)是2种重要黏附分子,同属于黏附分子的免疫球蛋白超家族。……
