摘要:

目的 研究枸杞多糖(LBP)对顺铂损伤的卵巢颗粒细胞的保护作用及其潜在机制。 方法 采用顺铂(2.5 µg/mL,24 h)诱导人颗粒细胞样肿瘤细胞系(KGN)建立KGN损伤模型,采用不同浓度LBP(100、500、1000 mg/L)干预受损KGN,各组细胞分别用细胞计数试剂盒-8检测细胞活力,流式细胞术检测凋亡率,ELISA法检测抗苗勒管激素(AMH)水平,透射电镜观察超微结构,Western blotting检测凋亡相关蛋白(Bax、caspase-3、Bcl-2)及PI3K/AKT信号通路的表达情况,RT-qPCR法检测微小RNA(miR)-23a表达情况。通过慢病毒转染构建miR-23a过表达/敲低模型,验证LBP的作用机制。 结果 顺铂抑制KGN活力(P<0.01),诱导凋亡(P<0.01),降低AMH水平(P<0.01),造成染色质凝聚、细胞核固缩、细胞质空泡化等超微结构异常,并增加促凋亡基因Bax、caspase-3的表达(P<0.01),减少抑凋亡基因Bcl-2的表达(P<0.05),下调PI3K/AKT信号通路的表达与活化(P<0.01),上调miR-23a的含量(P<0.01)。LBP干预可不同程度地逆转上述损伤,中剂量LBP作用24 h可改善KGN细胞活力、凋亡率、内分泌功能和超微结构(P<0.01)。中剂量LBP通过下调miR-23a(P<0.01)激活PI3K/AKT通路(P<0.01),抑制Bax、caspase-3(P<0.01),上调Bcl-2(P<0.05)。miR-23a过表达削弱LBP的保护作用,而敲低miR-23a则增强其疗效(P<0.01)。 结论 LBP通过抑制miR-23a表达,激活PI3K/AKT通路,抑制顺铂诱导的KGN凋亡,为保护卵巢功能提供了潜在治疗策略。

Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the protective effect of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) against cisplatin-induced ovarian granulosa cell injury and investigate its possible mechanisms. Methods Human granulosa-like tumor cell line (KGN) were treated with 2.5 µg/mL cisplatin for 24 h, followed by treatment with 100, 500, and 1000 mg/L LBP, and the changes in cell viability, apoptosis, level of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), and cell ultrastructure were detected with CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry, ELISA and transmission electron microscopy. The cellular expressions of Bax, caspase-3, Bcl-2, and the PI3K/AKT pathway proteins were analyzed using Western blotting, and the expression of miR-23a was detected with RT-qPCR. KGN cell models with lentivirus-mediated miR-23a overexpression or knockdown were used to verify the therapeutic mechanism of LBP. Results Cisplatin treatment significantly inhibited cell viability, induced apoptosis, decreased AMH level, caused ultrastructural abnormalities, increased Bax and caspase-3 expression, and lowered Bcl-2 expression in KGN cells. Cisplatin also suppressed the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and upregulated miR-23a expression in the cells. LBP intervention obviously alleviated cisplatin-induced injuries in KGN cells, and in particular, LBP treatment at the medium dose for 24 h significantly improved KGN cell viability, reduced apoptosis, enhanced their endocrine function, and ameliorated ultrastructural abnormalities. Mechanistically, medium-dose LBP obviously activated the PI3K/AKT pathway by downregulating miR-23a in cisplatin-treated cells, subsequently inhibiting Bax and caspase-3 while upregulating Bcl-2. Overexpression of miR-23a weakened while knockdown of miR-23a significantly enhanced the protective effects of LBP. Conclusion LBP alleviates cisplatin-induced apoptosis in KGN cells by inhibiting miR-23a expression and activating the PI3K/AKT pathway, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for ovarian function preservation.
