摘　　要：目的 探讨槲皮素对过氧化氢(hydrogen peroxide, H_(2)O_(2))诱导人子宫内膜基质细胞(human endometrial stromal cells, HESCs)损伤的保护作用及其可能的作用机制。方法 体外培养HESCs,加入不同浓度的槲皮素(0、10、20和40μmol/L)作用24 h,验证给予不同剂量的槲皮素对正常子宫内膜细胞没有毒性,随后采用250μmol/L H_(2)O_(2)孵育细胞12 h,建立H_(2)O_(2)诱导的HESCs损伤模型。槲皮素预处理24 h,H_(2)O_(2)刺激HESCs后,CCK-8检测细胞活力,筛选有效的干预剂量,随后将HESCs分为空白组、H_(2)O_(2)模型组、H_(2)O_(2)+槲皮素组,采用DCFH-DA荧光探针检测细胞内活性氧(reactive oxygen species, ROS)水平;AnnexinⅤ/PI双染,流式细胞术检测槲皮素对H_(2)O_(2)诱导HESCs凋亡的影响;JC-1染色法检测细胞线粒体膜电位;Western blot检测相关蛋白NADPH氧化酶4(NADPH oxidase 4, NOX4)、p38丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, p38 MAPK)及磷酸化p38 MAPK(p-p38 MAPK)表达。结果 根据CCK-8实验结果,选择槲皮素20μmol/L为有效干预剂量。ROS检测显示,与空白组相比,H_(2)O_(2)模型组ROS的平均荧光强度升高(P<0.01),而与H_(2)O_(2)模型组相比槲皮素处理下调了ROS的平均荧光强度,减轻了氧化损伤(P<0.05)。细胞凋亡检测结果显示,H_(2)O_(2)模型组细胞凋亡率较空白组增加(P<0.01),而与槲皮素共同作用则逆转了细胞凋亡率的增加(P<0.05)。JC-1染色检测线粒体膜电位变化情况显示,与空白组相比,H_(2)O_(2)诱导所致的线粒体膜电位降低的细胞比例增加(P<0.01),而槲皮素处理后线粒体膜电位降低的细胞比例低于H_(2)O_(2)模型组(P<0.05)。Western blot结果显示,与空白组相比,H_(2)O_(2)模型组NOX4蛋白、p-p38 MAPK蛋白相对表达量升高(P<0.05);而加入槲皮素后,与H_(2)O_(2)模型组相比,NOX4蛋白、p-p38 MAPK蛋白相对表达量降低(P<0.05)。结论 槲皮素预处理对H_(2)O_(2)诱导的HESCs氧化损伤具有保�Objective This study aims to systematically evaluate the protective role of quercetin(QCT),a naturally occurring flavonoid,against oxidative damage in human endometrial stromal cells(HESCs)induced by hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2)).Oxidative stress,such as that induced by H_(2)O_(2),is known to contribute significantly to cellular damage and has been implicated in various reproductive health issues.The study is focused on investigating how QCT interacts with specific molecular pathways to mitigate this damage.Special attention was given to the p38 MAPK/NOX4 signaling pathway,which is crucial to the regulation of oxidative stress responses in cellular systems.By elucidating these mechanisms,the study seeks to confirm the potential of QCT not only as a protective agent against oxidative stress but also as a therapeutic agent that could be integrated in treatments of conditions characterized by heightened oxidative stress in endometrial cells.Methods In vitro cultures of HESCs were treated with QCT at different concentrations(0,10,20,and 40μmol/L)for 24 h to verify the non-toxic effects of QCT on normal endometrial cells.Subsequently,250μmol/L H_(2)O_(2) was used to incubate the cells for 12 h to establish an H_(2)O_(2)-induced HESCs injury model.HESCs were pretreated with QCT for 24 h,which was followed by stimulation with H_(2)O_(2).Then,CCK-8 assay was performed to examine the cell viability and to screen for the effective intervention concentration.HESCs were divided into 3 groups,the control group,the H_(2)O_(2) model group,and the H_(2)O_(2)+QCT group.Intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS)were precisely quantified using the DCFH-DA fluorescence assay,a method known for its accuracy in detecting and quantifying oxidative changes within the cell.The mitochondrial membrane potential was determined by JC-1 staining.AnnexinⅤ/PI double staining and flow cytometry were performed to determine the effect of QCT on H_(2)O_(2)-induced apoptosis of HESCs.Furthermore,to delve deeper into the cellular mechan
