摘　　要：目的 探讨冬凌草甲素对急性单核细胞白血病THP-1细胞的诱导凋亡作用及其作用机制.方法 以不同浓度的冬凌草甲素(16～56 μmol/L)作用于体外培养的THP-1细胞0、24、48及72 h,应用MTT法检测细胞生长抑制率,用Annexin V/PI双染法检测细胞凋亡,Hoechst 33258荧光染色法观察细胞凋亡时的形态学变化,用免疫印迹法(Western Blotting)检测Caspase-3及其裂解底物多聚(ADP-核糖)聚合酶PARP[(poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase)]表达水平的变化.结果 32 μmol/L以上的冬凌草甲素可显著抑制细胞的生长及诱导细胞发生凋亡,呈现出明显的量效与时效关系,在Hoechst 33258荧光染色后,细胞出现核浓缩及核碎裂等典型的凋亡特征.Western Blotting检测结果表明,Caspase-3被活化出现相对分子质量为20×103的裂解片段,PARP被裂解后出现相对分子质量为89×103的亚单位片段.结论 冬凌草甲素能显著抑制THP-1细胞的生长并诱导细胞发生凋亡,通过激活Caspase-3途径可能是冬凌草甲素诱导细胞发生凋亡的重要作用机制;这为冬凌草甲素用于白血病的辅助治疗提供了有力的实验依据.Objective To investigate the apoptosis inducing effects of oridonin on leukemic THP-1 cells and its mechanisms of action. Methods THP-1 cells in culture medium in vitro were given different concentrations of oridonin (16～56 μmol/L) for 24, 48 and 72 h. The inhibitory rate of the cells were measured by MTT assay, apoptotic morphology was observed by Hoechst 33258 staining, and Annexin V/PI staining was used to detect cell apoptosis by flow cytometry (FCM). Caspase-3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) expression were detected by Western blotting. Results Oridonin (over 32 μmol/L) could inhibit the growth of THP-1 cells and cause apoptosis remarkably, the suppression was both in time-and dose-dependentmanner. Marked morphological changes of cell apoptosis such as condensation of chromatin was clearly observed by Hoechst 33258 staining, and Annexin V/PI staining showed that apoptotic cells gradually increased after the cells treated with oridinon. Western blotting showed cleavage of the caspase-3 zymogen protein (32×103), with the appearance of its 20×103 subunit, and a cleaved 89×103 fragment of 116×103 PARP was also found. Conclusion Oridonin can inhibit cell growth and induce apoptosis in THP-1 cells via activation of caspase-3. The results indicated that oridonin might be an important potential anti-leukemia reagent.
