摘要
目的 探讨中药靛玉红衍生物E804对非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)系A549细胞增殖和迁移的影响,并阐明Nrf2-HO-1/GPX4信号轴可能的作用机制.方法 以肺癌A549细胞为细胞模型.采用MTT和细胞划痕实验观察0、10μmol/L E804 和 10 μmol/L E804+不同特异性抑制剂(Nec-1、CQ、Z-VAD、DFO、Fer-1和Lip-1)组细胞的增殖和迁移能力;采用DCFH-DA荧光探针法检测0、2.5、5和10 μmol/LE804组细胞内活性氧(ROS)含量,比色法检测二价铁离子(Fe2+)含量,分光光度法检测还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量,微量法检测丙二醛(MDA)含量;Western blot法检测0、2.5、5和 10 μmol/L E804 组细胞 SLC7A11、Transferrin、GPX4、SLC40A1、Nrf2和HO-1蛋白表达水平.结果 与对照组(0 µmol/L E804)比较,2.5、5 和 10 μmol/L E804 升高细胞内ROS、Fe2+和MDA水平,降低细胞内GSH含量(P<0.01),同时降低 SLC7A11、GPX4、SLC40A1、Nrf2 和 HO-1 蛋白表达水平(P<0.01),升高 Transferr-in 表达水平(P<0.05).与单独使用10 μmol/L E804组比较,细胞凋亡抑制剂(Z-VAD)组和细胞铁死亡抑制剂(DFO、Fer-1和Lip-1)组能够部分逆转E804对A549细胞的增殖和迁移抑制(P<0.01).结论 E804可抑制A549细胞增殖和迁移,并诱发铁死亡,其机制可能与抑制Nrf2-HO-1/GPX4信号轴有关.
Abstract
Objective To investigate the effects of indirubatin derivative E804 on proliferation and migration of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)A549 cells,and to elucidate the possible mechanism of Nrf2-HO-1/GPX4 pathway.Methods Lung cancer A549 cells were used as the cell model.The proliferation and migration of differ-ent specific inhibitors(Nec-1,CQ,Z-VAD,DFO,Fer-1 and Lip-1)in 0,10 μmol/L E804 and 10 μmol/L E804+groups were observed by MTT and cell scratch assay.The contents of reactive oxygen species(ROS)were de-tected by DCFH-DA fluorescence probe method,the contents of Fe2+were detected by colorimetric method,the contents of reduced glutathione(GSH)were detected by spectrophotometry,and the contents of malondialdehyde(MDA)were detected by micromethod.The expression levels of SLC7A11,Transferrin,GPX4,SLC40A1,Nrf2 and HO-1 were detected by Western blot in cells of 0,2.5,5 and 10 µmol/L E804 groups.Results Compared with the control group(0 μmol/L E804),2.5,5 and 10 µmol/L E804 significantly increased intracellular ROS,Fe2+and MDA levels,and decreased intracellular GSH content(P<0.01).Meanwhile,the expression levels of SLC7A11,GPX4,SLC40A1,Nrf2 and HO-1 significantly decreased(P<0.01),and the expression level of Transferrin increased(P<0.05).Compared with the 10 µmol/L E804 group alone,the apoptosis inhibitor(Z-VAD)group and the ferroptosis inhibitor(DFO,Fer-1 and Lip-1)group could significantly reverse the inhibition of proliferation and migration of A549 cells by 10 μmol/L E804(P<0.01).Conclution E804 can induce ferrop-tosis and inhibit the proliferation and migration of A549 cells,which may be related to the inhibition of Nrf2-HO-1/GPX4 pathway.
