摘要:

目的 基于网络药理学和细胞实验验证探究2,2,6,6-四甲基哌啶-1-氧基-4-氨基-2-氧基乙基(MT)对过氧化氢(H2O2)诱导活化的大鼠肝星状细胞(HSC-T6)细胞凋亡的作用。方法 以网络药理学为研究手段,先预测MT治疗肝纤维化(HF)的候选作用靶点与相关信号通路,并将目标靶点蛋白与MT进行分子对接和分子动力学模拟初步验证,再进一步结合体外细胞实验验证上述结论。将HSC-T6细胞分为6组:对照组、MT对照组(40μmol/L)、H2O2组(50μmol/L)、MT不同浓度组(20、40μmol/L)和姜黄素组(15μmol/L)。CCK-8法检测细胞活力;细胞克隆形成实验检测细胞增殖能力;试剂盒检测细胞中氧化应激水平;流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡情况;免疫荧光染色法检测细胞中I型胶原(COLI)的表达;Westernblot检测细胞中α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)、COLI与凋亡相关蛋白表达。结果 通过在线数据库筛选并获得147个MT与HF相关的交集靶点,其中涉及B淋巴细胞瘤-2(Bcl-2)、半胱天冬酶3(Casp3)等;分子对接和分子动力学模拟结果表明MT与Bcl-2、Casp3结合良好;京都基因与基因组百科全书(KEGG)通路富集分析表明,MT可能通过细胞凋亡途径调控HF进程;体外实验结果显示,MT干预可显著降低HSC-T6细胞的活力与增殖能力,减少丙二醛(MDA)、α-SMA、COLI及Bcl-2水平,同时上调超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、谷胱甘肽(GSH)、Bcl-2相关X蛋白(Bax)、活化的半胱天冬酶3(Cleaved-Caspase-3)水平,促进HSC-T6细胞凋亡。结论 MT可抑制HSC-T6细胞的增殖和活化,其机制可能与促进HSC-T6细胞凋亡有关。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effects of 2, 2, 6, 6-Tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxy-4-amino-2-oxoethyl (MT) on apoptosis in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-activated HSC-T6 cells through network pharmacology and in vitro cellular experiments. Methods Network pharmacology was employed to predict potential target proteins and signaling pathways of MT in the treatment of hepatic fibrosis (HF). Molecular docking was performed to preliminarily validate the interactions between MT and identified target proteins. These findings were further validated through in vitro cellular experiments. The HSC-T6 cells were divided into 6 groups: the control group, the MT control group (40 μmol/L), the H2O2 group (50 μmol/L), the different concentrations of MT groups (20, 40 μmol/L), and the curcumin group (15 μmol/L). The cell viability was detected using the CCK-8 assay. The cell proliferation ability were detected using the cell cloning formation experiment. The levels of oxidative stress were detected by kits. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Type I collagen (COL Ⅰ) expression was detected by immunofluorescence staining. Western blot assay was used to measure expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), COL Ⅰ, and apoptosis-related proteins in cells. Results Through the screening of an online database identified 147 intersection targets associated with MT and HF, including B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Casp3. The results of molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation indicated that strong binding affinity between MT and Bcl-2/Casp3. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis revealed that MT regulates HF progression by the apoptosis pathway. The results of the in vitro experiments showed that MT intervention could significantly reduce the viability and proliferation ability of HSC-T6 cells, decrease the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), α-SMA, COL I and Bcl-2, while up-regulating the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) and activated caspase-3 (Cleaved-Caspase-3), and promoting the apoptosis of HSC-T6 cells. Conclusion In conclusion, MT can inhibit the proliferation and activation of HSC-T6 cells, and its mechanism may be related to the promotion of HSC-T6 cells apoptosis.
