摘要: 目的 研究吲哚-3-甲醇 (I3C) 对小鼠骨髓造血细胞辐射损伤的保护作用及机制。方法 (1) 密度梯度离心法获得 CD45.1 亚型 C57BL/6J 小鼠骨髓有核细胞, 经 0 mol/L、 10-8 mol/L ~10-3 mol/L I3C 处理后, 接受不同剂量(0 Gy、 1 Gy、 4 Gy)的 137Cs γ-射线照射; 继续培养 18 h 后采用生物发光法检测细胞活力。(2)设空白对照组和 10-6 mol/L I3C 组, 经上述 3 种剂量射线照射后, 接种于甲基纤维素半固体培养基中培养 7 d, 观察骨髓粒-单核巨噬细胞集落(CFU-GM) 形成情况。(3) 取 24 只 CD45.2 亚型小鼠接受 8 Gy 137Cs γ-射线照射作为受体, CD45.1 亚型小鼠骨髓有核细胞 (供体) 设空白对照组、 4 Gy 照射组和 4 Gy 照射+10-6 mol/L I3C 组。将供体与竞争者 (CD45.2 亚型) 骨髓细胞混和后, 接种于受体小鼠体内 (每组 8 只), 流式细胞术检测受体小鼠外周血细胞中供体来源的细胞比例。(4) 细胞设空白对照组、 10- 6 mol/L I3C 组、 1 Gy 照射组和 1 Gy 照射+10- 6 mol/L I3C 组。培养 24 h 后收集细胞, 提取蛋白后 Western blot 法检测各组核因子 NF-E2 相关因子 (Nrf2)、 血红素加氧酶 (HO) -1 表达。结果 (1) I3C 浓度>10-4 mol/L 时出现明显的细胞毒性作用 (P > 0.05); 相同剂量射线照射下, 10-7~10-6 mol/L I3C 可减轻射线对细胞的损伤; 因此选取 10-6 mol/L 为本研究 I3C 的实验浓度。(2) 相同剂量射线照射下, 10-6 mol/L I3C 组 CFU-GM 形成数量较空白对照组明显升高(P < 0.05)。(3)流式细胞结果显示, 4 Gy 照射组细胞移植后, 受体小鼠外周血中供体细胞比例较对照组明显降低(P < 0.05), 而 10-6 mol/L I3C 预处理的供体小鼠细胞移植后, 受体小鼠中供体细胞比例较 4 Gy 照射组升高(P < 0.05)。(4) Western blot 结果显示, 1 Gy 照射+10-6 mol/L I3C 组 Nrf2 和 HO-1 蛋白表达水平明显高于其他 3 组(P < 0.05)。结论 I3C 可以减轻辐射引起的小鼠造血细胞损伤和功能下降, 其机制可能与激活 Nrf2/HO-1 通路有关。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the protective effect of indole- 3- carbinol (I3C) on radiation- induced mouse bone marrow hematopoietic cell injury and the involved mechanisms. Methods (1) The bone marrow nuclear cells (BMNCs) from CD45.1 subtype of C57BL/6J mice were collected by a density gradient centrifugation method. The BMNCs were pretreated with a series doses of I3C (0 mol/L, 10- 8 mol/L-10- 3 mol/L) and then exposed with radiation of 137Cs γ-ray (doses of irradiation were 0 Gy, 1 Gy and 4 Gy). After 18-hour culturing, the bioluminescence method was used to detect the cell viability. (2) These cells were divided into control group and 10- 6 mol/L I3C group. Both groups were received the irradiation (0 Gy, 1 Gy and 4 Gy) and inoculated into the methylcellulose semi-solid culture medium to incubate 7 days, the colony forming unit-granulocyte monocytes (CFU-GM) were observed. (3) Twenty-four CD45.2 subtype mice used as the receptor were exposed with 8 Gy radiation. The CD45.1 BMNCs were divided into control group, 4 Gy irradiation group, 4 Gy irradiation and 10- 6 mol/L I3C group. Donor cells were harvested from C57BL/6J (CD45.1) mice after they received various treatments, and were then mixed with competitive BMNCs from C57BL/6J (CD45.2) mice. The mixed cells were transplanted into recipient mice (8 mice/group). Flow cytometry was used to analyze the proportion of donor cells in peripheral blood of receptor. (4) The cells were divided into control group, 10- 6 mol/L I3C group, 1 Gy irradiation group, 1 Gy irradiation with 10-6 mol/L I3C group. After 24-hour culturing, Western blot assay was used to detect the expression levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1). Results (1) I3C showed a significant cytotoxic effect on the BMNCs when its concentration was above 10- 4 mol/L. 10- 7-10- 6 mol/L I3C could reduce the radiation injury of BMNCs under the same dose of irradiation. Therefore, 10-6 mol/L I3C was chosen for subsequent experiments. (2) The CFU-GM was significantly higher in 10-6 mol/L I3C group than that of control group (P < 0.05). (3) Results of flow cytometry showed that the proportion of donor cells in receptor was significantly higher in 4 Gy irradiation group than that of control group, which decreased the engraftment capability of irradiated HSCs (P < 0.05), although the engraftment capability of irradiated HSCs improved after 10-6 mol/L I3C treatment. (4) I3C significantly enhanced the increased protein expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 caused by radiation (P < 0.05). Conclusion I3C has a protective effect on hematopoietic cells following radiation-induced injury, which may be related with activating the Nrf2/HO-1 signal pathway.
