摘要
目的观察淫羊藿苷在体外试验中对α-突触核蛋白(α-synuclein,α-Syn)及相关蛋白表达的影响及其作用机制。方法 不同浓度的淫羊藿苷与转染α-Syn基因PC12细胞共孵育24h,应用RT-PCR法检测各组细胞α-Syn mRNA含量,Western免疫印迹法检测细胞中α-Syn、泛素化蛋白羧基端水解酶(Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase protein,UCH-L1)和Parkin蛋白的表达,观察淫羊藿苷对它们的影响。结果 淫羊藿苷浓度40~80μmol/L与转染α-Syn基因细胞孵育24h,能够明显减少模型细胞中α-SynmRNA含量,抑制Syn蛋白表达和聚集,增强UCH-L1和Parkin蛋白表达。结论 淫羊藿苷在体外对基因转染细胞的α-Syn过表达和聚集有明显抑制作用,其作用机制与抑制α-Syn合成和增强α-Syn降解有关。
Objective:To explore the effects of icariin,an effective component of Epimedium,on the over-expression and aggregation of α-synuclein(α-Syn) and other protein in vitro and mechanisms of the effects.Methods:Different concentrations of icariin were incubated with α-Syn gene-transfected PC12 cells for 24 h.The change in α-Syn mRNA content in the cells was determined by RT-PCR.The protein expression of α-Syn,UCH-L1 and Parkin was measured by Western blotting.Results:Incubation of icariin(40~80 μmol/L) with α-Syn gene-transfected PC12 cells for 24 h significantly decreased α-Syn mRNA content,inhibited α-Syn protein expression and aggregation,and enhanced the protein expression of UCH-L1 and Parkin in the model cells.Conclusion:Icariin inhibited the over-expression and aggregation of α-Syn in gene-tranfected PC12 cells in vitro,and the mechanisms may be related to the inhibition of synthesis and the enhancement of degradation of α-synuclein.
