摘  要:In order to investigate the apoptotic pathway of rabbit annulus fibrosus(AF) cells induced by mechanical overload,an experimental air-pressure model was established in this study to pressurize the rabbit AF cells in vitro.Cells were randomly divided into five groups in which the cells were exposed to a continuous pressure of 1.1 MPa for different lengths of time(0,5,12,24 and 36 h).The cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry;the alterations in mitochondrial membrane potential were measured by fluorescence microscopy and fluorescence spectrophotometer;the activities of caspase-8 and 9 were determined by spectrophotometry.The results showed that after the cells were subjected to the pressure for 24 or 36 h,the cell proliferation was inhibited;the ratio of cell apoptosis was increased;the mitochondrial membrane potential was decreased;the activity of caspase-9 was enhanced;no activity changes were observed in caspase-8.The results suggested that treatment with a pressure of 1.1 MPa for more than 24 h can lead to the proliferation inhibition and the apoptosis of rabbit AF cells in vitro,and the mitochondrial-dependent pathway is implicated in the pressure-induced AF cell apoptosis.In order to investigate the apoptotic pathway of rabbit annulus fibrosus(AF) cells induced by mechanical overload,an experimental air-pressure model was established in this study to pressurize the rabbit AF cells in vitro.Cells were randomly divided into five groups in which the cells were exposed to a continuous pressure of 1.1 MPa for different lengths of time(0,5,12,24 and 36 h).The cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry;the alterations in mitochondrial membrane potential were measured by fluorescence microscopy and fluorescence spectrophotometer;the activities of caspase-8 and 9 were determined by spectrophotometry.The results showed that after the cells were subjected to the pressure for 24 or 36 h,the cell proliferation was inhibited;the ratio of cell apoptosis was increased;the mitochondrial membrane potential was decreased;the activity of caspase-9 was enhanced;no activity changes were observed in caspase-8.The results suggested that treatment with a pressure of 1.1 MPa for more than 24 h can lead to the proliferation inhibition and the apoptosis of rabbit AF cells in vitro,and the mitochondrial-dependent pathway is implicated in the pressure-induced AF cell apoptosis.
