H2O2预处理对骨髓间质干细胞凋亡适应性保护作用的研究

“…【目的】 探讨低浓度H2O2预处理对高浓度H2O2引起骨髓间质干细胞凋亡的影响【方法】 大鼠骨髓间质干细胞(BMSC)经体外培养扩增纯化鉴定BMSC分别被暴露于0,50,100,200,300,400,500 μmol/L H2O2,流式细胞仪(FCM)检测不同浓度H2O2处理对BMSC细胞凋亡的影响然后分别用20 μmol/L ,50 μmol/L,100 μmol/L H2O2预处理24 h,用FCM和Hoechst33324染色观察低浓度H2O2预处理对高浓度H2O2引起骨髓间质干细胞凋亡的影响, RT-PCR检测不同浓度H2O2预处理组BMSC Caspase-3和Bcl-2基因的表达【结果】 BMSC经体外培养扩增流式细胞仪鉴定,符合其表面标志,FCM检测凋亡显示:H2O2呈浓度依赖性诱导BMSC凋亡,且50 μmol/L H2O2预处理可降低500 μmol/L H2O2诱导的BMSC凋亡率;Hoechst33324染色结果显示:对照组BMSC染色质分布均匀,为弥散均匀的低强度荧光;500 μmol/L H2O2组BMSC胞核呈浓染致密的固缩形态或颗粒状荧光;50 μmol/L H2O2预处理组所致的凋亡细胞数明显少于500 μmol/L H2O2处理组所引起的细胞凋亡数,100 μmol/L H2O2预处理组所致的凋亡细胞数与500 μmol/L H2O2处理组比较无明显差异RT-PCR结果显示50 μmol/L H2O2预处理组与单独使用500 μmol/L H2O2处理组比较,其BMSC的Bcl-2表达增加和Caspase-3基因表达降低(P < 0.05),100 μmol/L H2O2预处理组与单独使用500 μmol/L H2O2处理组比较,其BMSC的Bcl-2Caspase-3表达无明显差异(P > 0.05) 【结论】 低浓度H2O2预处理对BMSC凋亡具有适应性保护作用,其机制可能与H2O2预处理使BMSC Bcl-2基因表达增加和Caspase-3基因表达降低有关…”
