摘要: 目的 探究大麻素受体2激动剂AM1241对转化生长因子(TGF)-β1诱导的大鼠肝星状细胞(HSC-T6)增 殖、活化与凋亡的影响及其作用机制。方法 体外培养HSC-T6,采用CCK-8法检测AM1241对空白对照组(空白培 养基)、阴性对照组(未加药品)、TGF-β1 组(5 μg/L TGF-β1)及 20、40、80、160 μmol/L AM1241 组(5 μg/L TGF-β1+ 20、40、80、160 μmol/L AM1241)HSC-T6增殖的影响,计算半数抑制浓度(IC50)。采用流式细胞术检测阴性对照组、 TGF-β1组、30 μmol/L AM1241组、60 μmol/L AM1241组HSC-T6凋亡情况;采用Western blot检测阴性对照组、TGF- β1 组、27 μmol/L AM1241 组 α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)、碱性成纤维细胞生长因子(bFGF)、凋亡相关蛋白 Bax、 cleaved caspase-3、JNK及磷酸化c-Jun氨基末端激酶(p-JNK)蛋白表达水平。结果 与TGF-β1组比较,AM1241可 抑制HSC-T6增殖能力,且呈剂量依赖性(P<0.05)。AM1241的IC50为27 μmol/L。30、60 μmol/L AM1241组HSC-T6 凋亡率较TGF-β1组明显上升,且60 μmol/L AM1241组高于30 μmol/L AM1241组(P<0.05)。27 μmol/L AM1241组 α-SMA 和 bFGF 蛋白表达水平较 TGF-β1 组降低,Bax、cleaved caspase-3、p-JNK 蛋白表达水平较 TGF-β1 组升高 (P<0.05)。结论 大麻素受体2激动剂AM1241能抑制TGF-β1诱导的HSC-T6的增殖与活化,并促进其凋亡,其作 用机制可能与JNK通路有关。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the effects of cannabinoid receptor 2 agonist AM1241 on the proliferation, activation and apoptosis of rat hepatic stellate cells (HSC-T6) induced by TGF-β1 and the related mechanism. Methods HSC-T6 cells were treated with different concentrations of AM1241 (0, 20, 40, 80 and 160 μmol/L) for 24 hours. Cells of each group were given TGF-β1 (5 μg/L) simultaneously. The effect of AM1241 on the proliferation of HSC-T6 cells was detected by CCK-8 assay. HSC-T6 cells were divided into negative control group, TGF- β1 group, 30 μmol/L AM1241 group and 60 μmol/L AM1241 group. Flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of AM1241 on HSC-T6 apoptosis. HSC-T6 cells were divided into negative control group, TGF- β1 group and 30 μmol/L AM1241 group (according to CCK-8 assay). IC50 was calculated. The protein levels of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), apoptosis-related protein Bax, cleaved caspase-3 and phosphorylated c-Jun amino terminal kinase (p-JNK) were detected by Western blot assay. Results Compared with TGF-β1 group, AM1241 showed an inhibitory effect on the proliferation of HSC-T6 cells in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). When IC50 of AM1241 was 27 μmol/L, the apoptosis rates of HSC-T6 were significantly higher in AM1241 groups (30 and 60 μmol/L) than those in TGF - β1 group, and it was significantly higher in 60 μmol/L AM1241 group than that of 30 μmol/L AM1241 group (P<0.05). The protein levels of α-SMA and bFGF were significantly lower in 27 μmol/L AM1241 group than those in the TGF-β1 group (P<0.05). The protein levels of Bax, cleaved caspase-3 and p-JNK were significantly upregulated in AM1241 group than those of the TGF-β1 group (P<0.05). Conclusion The cannabinoid receptor 2 agonist AM1241 can inhibit the proliferation and activation of HSC-T6 cells induced by TGF-β1 and promote the apoptosis of HSC-T6 cells, which may be related to the JNK pathway.
