摘要: 目的 研究S100B 抑制剂SBi4211heptamidine)在人类免疫缺陷病毒-1HIV-1)包膜蛋白gp120损伤中枢神经系统的作用。方法 通过U251细胞和SH-SY5Y细胞建立非接触式星形胶质细胞-神经元共培养体系,由gp120蛋白处理U251细胞激活神经炎症反应造成神经元损伤,体外水平探讨SBi4211gp120诱导的中枢神经毒性中的作用;体内实验中,以8月龄gp120转基因小鼠模拟HIV相关神经认知障碍(HAND)模型,实验分为对照组、gp120组以及gp120+SBi4211组(SBi4211处理组)。采用CCK-8、流式细胞术检测神经元活性及凋亡情况,ELISA检测S100B及炎症因子IL-6TNF-α表达水平,Western blot和免疫组织化学染色分析RAGEGFAPNeuNSynMAP-2蛋白表达情况。结果 体外实验结果显示SBi4211可以显著抑制gp120刺激后U251细胞S100BRAGE的表达(P<0.001),降低炎症因子iNOSIL-6TNF-α的表达水平(P<0.001),维持神经元相关标记蛋白NeuNSyn的表达(P<0.001)。体内实验结果显示SBi4211显著降低gp120转基因小鼠S100BRAGE表达及炎症水平(P<0.05),并且抑制脑内星形胶质细胞活化,保护神经元的完整性(P<0.05)。结论 SBi4211可能通过下调S100B/RAGE表达,抑制gp120引发的神经炎症反应,继而阻断gp120的中枢神经毒性作用。

Abstract: Objective To explore the protective effect of SBi4211 (heptamidine), an inhibitor of S100B, against central nervous system injury induced by HIV-1 envelope protein gp120. Methods In an in vitro model, U251 glioma cells were co-cultured with SH-SY5Y cells to explore the protective effect of SBi4211 against gp120-induced central nervous system injury. In a gp120 transgenic (Tg) mouse model (8 months old) mimicking HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND), the effect of treatment with gp120 or both gp120 and SBi4211 on neuronal activity and apoptosis were assessed using Cell Counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry. ELISA, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were used to determine the expression levels of S100B, RAGE, GFAP, NeuN, Syn, MAP-2 and the inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α. Results In the cell co-culture system, SBi4211 treatment significantly inhibited gp120-induced expression of S100B, RAGE and GFAP in U251 cells (P<0.001), reduced the levels of inflammatory factors iNOS, IL-6 and TNF-α (P<0.001) and enhanced the expressions of neuron-related proteins NeuN, Syn and MAP-2 (P<0.001). In the transgenic mouse model, SBi4211 treatment significantly reduced the expressions of S100B, RAGE and inflammation levels (P<0.05), inhibited the activation of astrocytes in the brain, and maintained the integrity of the neurons (P<0.05). Conclusion SBi4211 can protect neurons from gp120-induced neurotoxicity possibly by inhibiting the S100B/RAGE-mediated signaling pathway
