摘要: 目的: 观察同型半胱氨酸对人脐静脉内皮细胞NF-κB、IκB表达的影响,探讨同型半胱氨酸导致动脉粥样硬化的分子机制。方法:将体外培养的人脐静脉内皮细胞分为5组,分别加入同型半胱氨酸0mmol/L,2.5 mmol/L ,5 mmol/L,10 mmol/L ,15 mmol/L ,培养24h。通过MTT比色法测定细胞活力,采用RT-PCR法检测NF-κB p65 mRNA的表达,Western Blot检测IκB-α 的蛋白表达,免疫组化检测NF-κB p65蛋白的表达。结果:加入不同浓度的Hcy 后,HUVECs的细胞活力降低, NF-κB mRNA表达明显增强,IκB-α 蛋白表达水平显著下降,HUVECs胞核内NF-κB p65蛋白表达增强。结论:Hcy可降低HUVECs细胞存活率,通过上调NF-κB p65 mRNA的表达,增加IκB- α 蛋白的降解,促进NF-κB的核转移,进而促进NF-κB的活化。

Abstract: Objective: to investigate the effects of homocysteine on the expression of IκB and NF-κB in the human umbilical veins endothelial cells and explore the role of homocysteine in the development of atherosclerosis. Methods:The HUVECs were randomly divided into 5 groups,and each group was cultured with 0 mmol/L Hcy,2.5 mmol/L Hcy ,5 mmol/L Hcy,10 mmol/L Hcy ,15 mmol/L Hcy for 24 hours. MTT assay was used to detect cell viability.The expression of NF-κB p65 mRNA was observed by RT-PCR, and the expression of IκB-α was observed by Western blot,and the expression of NF-κB p65 protein was observed by immunohistochemistry. Results: After HUVECs were exposed to Hcy at different concentrations, the HUVECs were inhibition. The expression of NF-κB p65 mRNA and NF-κB p65 protein were increased significantly, however, the expression of IκB-α was reduced. Conclusion: Hcy can reduce cell viability. Hcy can increase the expression of NF-κB p65 mRNA obviously, and reduce the expression of IκB-α,and increase NF-κB nuclear translocation. In a word, Hcy can increase the activity of NF-κB.
