目的觀察丹皮酚對大腸癌細(xì)胞增殖活性和細(xì)胞凋亡的影響,并探討丹皮酚對大腸癌的抑制作用是否與其下調(diào)COX-2表達(dá)及PGE2合成有關(guān)。方法以大腸癌LoVo細(xì)胞株為研究對象,CCK-8比色法檢測不同濃度丹皮酚或PGE2或塞來昔布處理后細(xì)胞活力及丹皮酚對PGE2刺激細(xì)胞增殖的影響;流式細(xì)胞儀檢測細(xì)胞凋亡情況;Western blotting方法檢測COX-2和凋亡相關(guān)蛋白Bax、Bcl-2、Caspase-3、Caspase-9的表達(dá)情況;ELISA法檢測大腸癌細(xì)胞上清液中PGE2含量。結(jié)果丹皮酚處理后LoVo細(xì)胞活力顯著降低,呈明顯的時(shí)間和濃度依賴性;流式細(xì)胞儀檢測結(jié)果顯示丹皮酚可誘導(dǎo)LoVo細(xì)胞凋亡;丹皮酚可降低LoVo細(xì)胞COX-2表達(dá)及上清液中PGE2含量;經(jīng)PGE2處理后LoVo細(xì)胞活力明顯增強(qiáng),丹皮酚可抑制PGE2誘導(dǎo)的LoVo細(xì)胞活力增加;經(jīng)塞來昔布處理后,LoVo細(xì)胞活力顯著降低,且細(xì)胞凋亡率增加;經(jīng)丹皮酚處理后,LoVo細(xì)胞Bax蛋白表達(dá)上調(diào),Bcl-2蛋白表達(dá)下調(diào),Pro-Caspase-3、Pro-Caspase-9表達(dá)減弱,而Cleaved-Caspase-3、Cleaved-Caspase-9表達(dá)增強(qiáng),呈濃度依賴性。結(jié)論丹皮酚可抑制LoVo細(xì)胞增殖并誘導(dǎo)細(xì)胞凋亡,可能的機(jī)制是通過下調(diào)COX-2表達(dá)及PGE2合成進(jìn)而激活線粒體凋亡途徑。
丹皮酚;大腸癌;環(huán)氧合酶-2;前列腺素E2; 凋亡
大腸癌是常見消化道惡性腫瘤。全球大腸癌發(fā)病率位居惡性腫瘤的第3位,每年有超過120萬新增病例,并有超過60萬病例死亡[1]。歐美等發(fā)達(dá)國家和地區(qū)大腸癌發(fā)病率位居惡性腫瘤的第3位,病死率則高居惡性腫瘤相關(guān)死亡的第2位[2]。在我國,每年新發(fā)大腸癌病例約13萬,并以平均4%的增幅不斷攀升[3]。大腸癌已經(jīng)成為我國發(fā)病率增長速度最快,且發(fā)病年齡逐漸年輕化的惡性腫瘤,其病死率已位居我國惡性腫瘤的第4位[4]。目前研究認(rèn)為大腸癌的發(fā)生和進(jìn)展是一個多環(huán)節(jié)、多步驟的復(fù)雜過程。盡管Wnt信號通路的異常激活被認(rèn)為是大腸癌發(fā)生的始動因素,但是在絕大多數(shù)大腸癌中高表達(dá)的環(huán)氧合酶-2(cyclooxygenase-2, COX-2)被認(rèn)為在腫瘤進(jìn)展和侵襲轉(zhuǎn)移過程中起著關(guān)鍵作用。作為前列腺素E2(PGE2)合成的限速酶,過表達(dá)的COX-2又可大量產(chǎn)生PGE2。二者共同參與腫瘤發(fā)生與進(jìn)展[5-6]。因此,COX-2可能是抗腫瘤作用的一個靶點(diǎn)。
丹皮酚(Paeonol),又稱牡丹酚,是從中草藥牡丹、芍藥根皮和徐長卿干燥根或全草中提取的小分子酚類化合物。其具有抗炎、肝腎保護(hù)、降血糖、免疫調(diào)節(jié)、心血管保護(hù)、抗菌、解熱鎮(zhèn)痛、抗過敏、抑制血小板聚集和中樞抑制作用等廣泛的藥理學(xué)活性[7-11]。在腫瘤防治方面,丹皮酚對皮膚癌、乳腺癌及肝癌等多種腫瘤細(xì)胞均有抑制作用[12-15]。然而,目前關(guān)于丹皮酚抗腫瘤作用的分子機(jī)制知之甚少,對細(xì)胞因子、基因調(diào)控和信號轉(zhuǎn)導(dǎo)通路等方面的研究還有待進(jìn)一步深入研究。本實(shí)驗(yàn)擬觀察丹皮酚對大腸癌細(xì)胞增殖和凋亡的影響,并探討丹皮酚是否通過下調(diào)COX-2表達(dá)及PGE2合成發(fā)揮抗大腸癌細(xì)胞作用。

2.4 PGE2對LoVo細(xì)胞增殖的影響不同濃度(5、10、20 μmol/L) PGE2處理LoVo細(xì)胞24 h后,隨著PGE2濃度的增加,LoVo細(xì)胞增殖作用也增加(見圖4A)。再選用10 μmol/L PGE2觀察PGE2作用不同時(shí)間對LoVo細(xì)胞增殖作用,發(fā)現(xiàn)PGE2作用48 h對LoVo細(xì)胞增殖促進(jìn)效果最佳(見圖4B)。
2.5 丹皮酚對PGE2促進(jìn)LoVo細(xì)胞增殖效應(yīng)的影響如圖5所示,10 μmol/L PGE2作用LoVo細(xì)胞48 h可明顯促進(jìn)細(xì)胞增殖,而給予60、120 mg/L丹皮酚后均可降低PGE2對LoVo細(xì)胞增殖的促進(jìn)效應(yīng),且120 mg/L丹皮酚抑制作用更為明顯。

前期研究發(fā)現(xiàn),丹皮酚對肝癌等多種腫瘤細(xì)胞均有抗腫瘤作用。Chou等[16]研究發(fā)現(xiàn)丹皮酚可抑制角叉菜聚糖誘導(dǎo)的大鼠熱覺過敏反應(yīng),減少大鼠爪部皮膚滲出液中中性粒細(xì)胞浸潤和TNF-α、IL-β、IL-10、COX-2、PGE2的含量。Chae等[17]研究發(fā)現(xiàn)丹皮酚可顯著拮抗脂多糖誘導(dǎo)的炎癥反應(yīng)。但是,丹皮酚對于腫瘤中特別是大腸癌中COX-2的作用及其意義并未報(bào)道,因此,本研究以COX-2及其產(chǎn)物PGE2為切入點(diǎn),對丹皮酚在大腸癌中增殖和凋亡中的作用及其作用機(jī)制進(jìn)行探討。

圖8 丹皮酚對LoVo細(xì)胞凋亡相關(guān)蛋白Bax、Bcl-2、Caspase-3、Caspase-9表達(dá)的影響
Fig 8 The effect of Paeonol on the expressions of Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 in LoVo colorectal cancer cells
本實(shí)驗(yàn)CCK-8細(xì)胞活性實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果顯示,丹皮酚處理可降低細(xì)胞活力,呈時(shí)間和濃度依賴性,藥物濃度越高、作用時(shí)間越長,其細(xì)胞存活率越低。丹皮酚處理LoVo細(xì)胞48 h后,可顯著促進(jìn)細(xì)胞凋亡,呈劑量依賴性。這些結(jié)果提示丹皮酚可能通過抑制細(xì)胞增殖并誘導(dǎo)細(xì)胞凋亡發(fā)揮抗腫瘤作用。細(xì)胞凋亡是程序化、多基因調(diào)控的細(xì)胞死亡過程,細(xì)胞凋亡機(jī)制在維持機(jī)體內(nèi)環(huán)境穩(wěn)定中扮演著重要角色,是重要生理調(diào)控機(jī)制[18-19];細(xì)胞過度增殖和凋亡不足在腫瘤發(fā)生、發(fā)展中具有重要意義[20],因此通過誘導(dǎo)細(xì)胞凋亡可能是腫瘤治療的有效途徑之一。本研究進(jìn)一步探討了丹皮酚對細(xì)胞凋亡線粒體途徑的影響,丹皮酚處理48 h后,Western blotting檢測結(jié)果顯示LoVo細(xì)胞的Bcl-2表達(dá)下調(diào),Bax表達(dá)上調(diào),Pro-Caspase-3、Pro-Caspase-9表達(dá)減弱,而Cleaved-Caspase-3、Cleaved-Caspase-9表達(dá)增強(qiáng),且呈劑量依賴性。
COX-2在包括大腸癌在內(nèi)的多種腫瘤細(xì)胞中均呈過表達(dá)狀態(tài)。而作為PGE2合成的限速酶,過表達(dá)的COX-2又可產(chǎn)生大量PGE2。二者共同參與腫瘤的發(fā)生與發(fā)展。下調(diào)COX-2及PGE2表達(dá)后可促進(jìn)細(xì)胞凋亡、抑制血管新生、促進(jìn)細(xì)胞免疫而發(fā)揮抗腫瘤作用。因此,COX-2可能是抗腫瘤作用的一個靶點(diǎn)。流行病學(xué)研究已經(jīng)證實(shí),非甾體類抗炎藥(nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, NSAIDs)或COX-2特異性抑制劑在一定程度上可預(yù)防胃腸道腫瘤[21]。三項(xiàng)隨機(jī)對照研究(PreSAP、APC、Approve)評估了COX-2特異性抑制劑在散發(fā)結(jié)腸腺瘤患者復(fù)發(fā)中的預(yù)防作用及安全性,結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)三項(xiàng)研究中均可有效降低結(jié)腸腺瘤的復(fù)發(fā),特別是降低了進(jìn)展期結(jié)腸腺瘤(advanced adenomas)的復(fù)發(fā)率[22-24]。然而,長期應(yīng)用此類藥物可導(dǎo)致胃腸道甚至一系列心血管毒性等不良反應(yīng)發(fā)生,限制了其在健康人群中的應(yīng)用,臨床推薦僅對特殊家族性腺瘤息肉病等特殊人群使用。因此,尋找毒性小,而又能有效抑制COX-2的藥物可為大腸癌治療提供更好的選擇,也可能為大腸癌的預(yù)防和治療提供更好的策略。研究證實(shí)過表達(dá)的COX-2可通過減弱TGF-β的抑制細(xì)胞增殖效應(yīng)促進(jìn)細(xì)胞增殖[25];同時(shí),COX-2可調(diào)控PI3K信號通路及Bcl-2表達(dá)抑制細(xì)胞凋亡,也可通過誘導(dǎo)P53基因突變及調(diào)控Fas蛋白減弱凋亡信號發(fā)揮抗細(xì)胞凋亡作用[26-27]。本實(shí)驗(yàn)中,丹皮酚能抑制LoVo細(xì)胞COX-2表達(dá)及PGE2合成,PGE2處理后可促進(jìn)LoVo細(xì)胞的增殖效應(yīng),且丹皮酚可抑制PGE2促進(jìn)LoVo細(xì)胞的增殖效應(yīng)。此外,COX-2特異性抑制劑處理后也可觀察到細(xì)胞增殖抑制及細(xì)胞凋亡增加。這些研究結(jié)果提示丹皮酚可能通過抑制COX-2及PGE2合成抑制LoVo細(xì)胞增殖并誘導(dǎo)細(xì)胞凋亡。
綜上所述,本研究發(fā)現(xiàn),丹皮酚在體外能抑制LoVo細(xì)胞增殖并誘導(dǎo)其凋亡,可能的機(jī)制是抑制COX-2表達(dá)和PGE2合成,進(jìn)而激活線粒體凋亡途徑。

Objective To observe the effect of Paeonol on cell proliferation and apoptosis, and investigate whether its antitumor effect is associated with down regulation of COX-2 expression and PGE2synthesis in colorectal cancer cells. Methods The LoVo colorectal cancer cells served as the experimental subjects. After treatment with Paeonol at different concentrations respectively at different time, the cell survival of LoVo was determined by the CCK-8 method. LoVo cells were treated with PGE2and with or without Paeonol for different time and the cell survival was determined. After treatment with Paeonol at different concentrations for 48 hours, cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Western blotting was used to detect espressions of COX-2, Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 proteins. The expression of PGE2in the culture medium was detected by ELISA. Results After treatment with Paeonol, the proliferation of LoVo cells was significantly inhibited, which showed a dose-and time-dependent manner. Flow cytometry assays demonstrated that Paeonol significantly induced apoptosis of LoVo cells. Paeonol reduced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and prostaglandin E2(PGE2) synthesis in LoVo cells. PGE2promoted the cell proliferation and Paeonol inhibited PGE2-induced proliferation of LoVo cells. Celecoxib inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis of LoVo cells. Increasing doses of Paeonol increased expression of Bax and decreased expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 attenuated expressions of Pro-Caspase-3 and Pro-Caspase-9, strengthened expressions of Cleaved-Caspase-3 and Cleaved-Caspase-9. Conclusion Paeonol can inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells, which is associated with down requlation of COX-2 espression and PGE2synthsis.
