摘要
目的:观察皖南尖吻蝮蛇毒蛋白C激活剂( PCA)对人脐静脉血管内皮细胞( HUVEC)的影响并分析其可能机制。方法:常规培养HUVEC,在倒置显微镜下观察细胞形态变化,用MTT法检测细胞活性。实验分为对照组、LPS损伤组和PCA实验组。将HUVEC接种在96孔板内加药处理,对照组加入PBS缓冲液,LPS损伤组加入0.1μg/mL LPS,PCA实验组分别加入0.16、0.32、0.63、1.25、2.50、5.00、10.00、20.00、40.00μg/mL的PCA溶液和0.16、0.32、0.63、1.25μg/mL的PCA与0.1μg/mL的LPS的混合液。每个浓度设5个复孔,每孔加药200μL,作用12 h后进行细胞活性测定并观察细胞形态。结果:PCA浓度低于2.50μg/mL时对HUVEC活性和形态没有明显影响,但可减轻LPS引起的HUVEC活性抑制和形态改变。高于2.50μg/mL时PCA可抑制HUVEC的活性并引起其形态改变。结论:低浓度PCA在一定程度上可减轻LPS引起的HU-VEC损伤。
Abstract
Objective:To observe the effects protein-C activator( PCA) extracted from the venom of Agkistrodon acutus on the human umbilical vein endo-thelial cells (HUVECs),and investigate the potential mechanisms of this effects.Methods:HUVECs were conventionally cultured,and observed under the inverted microscope for their morphologically changes .MTT method was used to detect the cell activity .The experiment consisted of control group ,LPS-in-duced injury group and PCA treatment group.HUVECs were initially inoculated into separate 96-well plate.Then control group were treated with PBS buff-er,LPS injury was induced with LPS in dose of 0.1 μg/mL,and PCA group were treated with PCA in dose of 0.16,0.32,0.63,1.25,2.50,5.00, 10.00,20.00 and 40.00 μg/mL and mixed solution of 0.1 μg/mL LPS and PCA dosed by 0.16,0.32,0.63 and 1.25 μg/mL,respectively.Five du-plicated wells were set for individual plate into which 200μL of the cell solution was added.After 12 hours of culturing,the cell activity and its morphology were determined and observed.Results:PCA level lower than 2.50 μg/mL had no effect on the activity of HUVECs,yet reduced the damage of LPS to HUVEC.Contrarily,PCA concentration over 2.50 μg/mL significantly inhibited the activity of HUVECs and modified their morphology .Conclusio n:Low concentration of PCA can,to a certain extent,reduce the injury of HUVECs caused by LPS.
