简介:目的:探讨线粒体膜电位(△ψm)、Caspase3在As2O3诱导ACC-2细胞凋亡中的作用。方法:进行ACC-2细胞培养,将As2O3建立不同药物浓度梯度(0,1.0,2.0,4.0,8.0μmol/L)分别作用于ACC-2细胞,用Rh123染色,流式细胞仪检测8.0μmol/LAs2O3作用前、后(24h),ACC-2细胞的线粒体膜电位(△ψm)变化;用多功能酶标仪进行Caspase3活性检测。结果:空白对照组ACC-2细胞内Rh123荧光强度最强,8.0μmol/LAs2O3处理组ACC-2细胞内Rh123荧光强度减弱,其差异有显著性(P〈0.05);随着As2O3药物浓度的增高(0,1,2,4,8μmol/L),ACC-2细胞的Caspase3酶活力单位逐渐增加。结论:As2O3作用于ACC-2细胞,可通过降低线粒体膜电位从而引起细胞凋亡。随着As2O3药物浓度的增高,ACC-2细胞的Caspase3酶活力单位逐渐增加,Caspase3被激活,细胞可发生不可逆转的凋亡过程。

简介:3型Stargardt病(STGD3,MIM600110)是一种常染色体显性遗传的早发性黄斑营养不良性疾病,是一种单基因遗传性疾病。目前为止,已知的STGD3致病基因为极长链脂肪酸延长酶4基因(ELOVL4)。ELOVIA是位于内质网上的一种调节极长链饱和及多不饱和脂肪酸生物合成的限速缩合反应中不可或缺的膜蛋白。作为一种遗传性疾病,STGD3目前仍无有效治疗方法。然而,饮食补充极长链多不饱和脂肪酸可能是治疗STGD3的一种可行疗法。对STGD3基因及致病机制的研究可能将有助于发现STGD3的有效治疗方法及进一步了解其他遗传性视网膜变性疾病和更复杂的年龄相关性黄斑变性。
简介:目的研究高眼压及其持续时间对大鼠视网膜caspase-3表达的影响。方法通过前房灌注平衡盐液建立大鼠急性高眼压模型:高眼压持续时间均为4h,依据眼内压的不同将sD大鼠60只随机分为正常对照组、40mmHg(1mmHg=0.133kPa)组、60mmHg组、80mmHg组、100mmHg组,每组12只。将眼内压为80mmHg的48只sD大鼠随机分为正常对照组、2h组、4h组、8h组,每组12只。正常对照组不给予前房灌注,其他各组分别给予不同的高眼压或高眼压持续不同时间。各组灌注结束后快速摘除眼球,分别采用Western印迹法和免疫组织化学法检测视网膜caspase-3的表达。结果与对照组相比,40mmHg组大鼠视网膜caspase-3的表达无增加(P〉0.05);60mmHg组、80mmHg组和100mmHg组大鼠视网膜caspase-3的表达均强于正常对照组(q值分别为4.87、5.28和6.71;P〈0.01),但各组之间差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。与对照组相比,2h组大鼠视网膜caspase-3的表达差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05),4h组和8h组大鼠视网膜caspase-3的表达均增加(q值分别为2.81和3.67;P〈0.01)。表达caspase-3的视网膜细胞主要位于神经节细胞层、外丛状层和内丛状层。结论采用前房灌注平衡盐液制作急性高眼压模型研究高眼压大鼠视网膜caspase-3的表达时,眼内压为80mmHg、高眼压持续4h即可。
