摘　　要：目的探讨眼镜蛇毒细胞毒素CTX-d诱导NB细胞凋亡的机制。方法MTT法测定CTX-d体外细胞毒作用,电镜、流式细胞仪观察CTX-d对NB4细胞的诱导凋亡作用,流式细胞仪检测NB4细胞线粒体膜电位的变化,Western-blotting测定胞浆细胞色素C及caspase-9、caspase-3的变化。结果CTX-d作用NB4细胞6、12h的IC50分别为1.8、1.35μg/mL;CTX-d引起NB4细胞线粒体肿胀、核固缩等形态学改变;诱导NB4细胞出现亚G1期的凋亡峰,且有时效及量效关系;CTX-d(1.0μg/mL)作用0.5h,NB4细胞线粒体膜电位已开始下降,同时在胞浆中检测到细胞色素C,显示细胞色素C已由线粒体释放入胞浆;caspase-9酶原的量在CTX-d(1.0μg/mL)作用1h时开始下降,而活化的caspase-3片断在0.5h即检测到,表明除了通过caspase-9,CTX-d还可能通过其他途径激活caspase-3。结论CTX-d可通过降低线粒体膜电位、细胞色素C释放,激活caspase-9和caspase-3,从而诱导NB4细胞凋亡,还可能通过其他途径激活caspase-3,参与凋亡作用。Objective To investigate the effects of CTX-d from venoms of cobra （Naja naja atra） on inducing NB4 apoptosis and its mechanism. Methods MTT was used to detect the antitumor effect of CTX-d in vitro; Electron microscope and flow cytometry were used to observe the apoptotic inducing effect of CTX-d in NB4 cells; Mitochondrial transmembrane potential change （△φm） was analyzed by flow cytometry; The levels of caspase-9, caspase-3, and cytochrome C in the cytosol fraction were analyzed by Western blotting. Results The IC50 values of CTX-d affected on NB4 cell for 6 and 12 h were 1.8 and 1.35 μg/mL, respectively. CTX-d could induce morphological changes, such as condensed chromatin and swelling mitochondria in NB4 cells. Analyzed by flow cytometry, CTX-d induced apoptosis in NB4 cells evidenced by increasing sub G1 cell population in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The mitochondrial membrane potential of NB4 cells had already decreased when incubated with CTX-d （1.0 μg/mL） for 0. 5 h, and cytochrome C in the cytosol was detected simultaneously, which indicated the release of cytochrome C from mitochondria to cytosol. The caspase-9 was activated initially at 1 h after 1. 0 /μg/mL CTX-d treatment, whereas the cleavage of caspase-3 was detected at 0. 5 h. This suggested that some other mechanism may be involved in caspase-3 activation. Conclusion The results suggest that the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and the release of cytochrome C from the mitochondria into the cytosol are the early events of CTX-d on NB4 apoptosis. Once release into the cytosol, cytochrome C precedes the activation of caspase-9 and -3 to leading to the apoptosis and there are maybe some other mechanism involved in caspase-3 activation.
