摘要:

有研究表明抗寄生虫病药物阿的平具有细胞膜结合作用。课题组前期研究发现阿的平预处理能减轻微波辐射诱导大鼠的海马神经元损伤,然而确切分子机制尚不明确。考虑到微波辐射的热效应,以及阿的平对热致细胞损伤的保护作用,我们假设阿的平能预防微波辐射对细胞的损伤作用,其机制与细胞膜稳定作用有关。鉴于此,实验用维甲酸诱导PC12细胞为神经元样细胞,提前给予两种不同剂量阿迪平(20,40 mM)处理,采用50 mW/cm2的高功率微波照射细胞3,6 h。以流式细胞术,原子力显微镜观察和Western blot分析表明,与单纯微波处理组比较,阿的平预处理的细胞经微波照射3,6 h后,细胞凋亡、坏死率、细胞膜结构损伤程度显著降低,热休克蛋白70表达增加。这些结果可以初步解释,阿的平有可能通过上调热休克蛋白70的表达而稳定神经细胞膜结构,从而减轻微波辐射造成的神经细胞损伤的作用及机制。

Abstract:

Quinacrine, widely used to treat parasitic diseases, binds to cell membranes. We previously found that quinacrine pretreatment reduced microwave radiation damage in rat hippocampal neurons, but the molecular mechanism remains poorly understood. Considering the thermal effects of microwave radiation and the protective effects of quinacrine on heat damage in cells, we hypothesized that quinacrine would prevent microwave radiation damage to cells in a mechanism associated with cell membrane stability. To test this, we used retinoic acid to induce PC12 cells to differentiate into neuron-like cells. We then pretreated the neurons with quinacrine (20 and 40 mM) and irradiated them with 50 mW/cm2 microwaves for 3 or 6 hours. Flow cytometry, atomic force microscopy and western blot assays revealed that irradiated cells pretreated with quinacrine showed markedly less apoptosis, necrosis, and membrane damage, and greater expression of heat shock protein 70, than cells exposed to microwave irradiation alone. These results suggest that quinacrine stabilizes the neuronal membrane structure by upregulating the expression of heat shock protein 70, thus reducing neuronal injury caused by microwave radiation.
