摘要:

目的  探讨18α-甘草次酸(18α-GA)对成年小鼠室管膜下区(SVZ)神经干细胞(NSCs)增殖的影响及其机制。  方法  100只6月龄BALB/c小鼠随机平均分为18α-GA组(腹腔注射18α-GA 40 mg/kg两个月,以DMSO为溶解介质)和DMSO对照组(腹腔注射含等体积DMSO溶解介质的PBS溶液),每组50只,其中15只用于在体实验,其余35只小鼠断头取脑,分离培养SVZ区NSCs。采用Ki-67染色、成球实验、BrdU掺入实验及CCK-8实验检测SVZ区NSCs增殖活力,二氢乙啶(DHE)染色等方法检测活性氧簇(ROS)及超氧化物歧化酶1(SOD1)水平, Real-time PCR及Western blotting检测SVZ区NSCs 的核因子E2相关因子2 (Nrf2)表达。   结果  在体实验结果显示,腹腔注射18α-GA后,小鼠SVZ区Ki-67阳性细胞数较DMSO对照组明显增多,ROS水平较DMSO对照组明显下降,而SOD1在mRNA和蛋白水平均明显升高,分别是对照组的(3.17±0.073)倍和(2.12±0.02)倍(P<0.05和P<0.001)。细胞实验结果表明,18α-GA组小鼠SVZ区的NSCs成球速度快,数量多,其中直径在40~60 μm和≥60μm的神经球数量分别是DMSO对照组的2.1倍和4倍(P<0.001);18α-GA组小鼠SVZ区的NSCs活力明显提高(P<0.001),BrdU阳性率是DMSO对照组的(1.75±0.17)倍(P<0.01);18α-GA组小鼠SVZ区NSCs的ROS水平较DMSO对照组下降18.91%±4.33%(P<0.05),而SOD1在mRNA和蛋白水平均明显升高(P<0.05和 P<0.01)。此外,腹腔注射18α-GA后小鼠SVZ区及其NSCs中Nrf2的mRNA和蛋白水平均高于对照组(P<0.01和 P<0.05)。  结论  在体给予18α-GA可提高成年NSCs的SOD1活性,减少细胞内ROS堆积,维持和改善成年小鼠SVZ区NSCs的增殖潜能。

Abstract:

Objective  To explore the effect of 18α-glycyrrhetinic acid (18α-GA) on the proliferation of adult mice neural stem cells (NSCs) and its underlying mechanism.    Methods  One hundred 6-month BALB/c mice were randomly divided into DMSO control group and 18α-GA group (mice were intraperitoneally injected with 40 mg / kg 18α-GA every day for 2 months). The proliferation capability, oxidative status and  nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) level of NSCs in the adult mice subventricular zone (SVZ) were measured through both in vivoand  in vitro experiments, including Ki-67 staining, neurosphere formation assay, BrdU incorporation, CCK-8 assay, reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection, superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) determination, Real-time PCR and Western blotting.    Results  Elevated Ki-67 positive cells were observed in SVZ of mice with 18α-GA application. Meanwhile, ROS level attenuated but SOD1 mRNA and protein level increased significantly in the SVZ of 18α-GA group mice, the latter of which were (3.17±0.073) and (2.12±0.02) times respectively than that of the control group (P<0.05 and P<0.001). Likewise, the similar changes were exhibited in vitro data. NSCs of 18α-GA group mice displayed higher proliferation potency confirmed by accelerated neurosphere formation and increased neurosphere number (P<0.001), as well as higher BrdU positive ratio (P<0.01) and NSCs vitality (P<0.001). NSCs of mice with 18α-GA injection exhibited decreased ROS level by 18.91%±4.33% (P<0.05) and enhanced SOD1 level, compared with those in NSCs of DMSO group mice. Furtherly, the Nrf2 expression in SVZ and NSCs of 18α-GA group mice was higher than that of the control group.  Conclution  18α-GA administration plays a vital role in the maintainence and amelioration of adult mice NSCs proliferation through activating SOD1 and diminishing ROS aggregations.
