摘要:
    目的 基于5'-磷酸腺苷活化蛋白激酶(AMPK)/哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白(mTOR)/UNC-51样激酶1(ULK1)信号通路,探究三七皂苷R1对脂多糖(LPS)诱导的牙周炎细胞自噬的影响。方法 采用100 ng/mL LPS处理人牙周膜成纤维细胞(hPDLFs)24 h以构建牙周炎细胞模型。将牙周炎细胞分为control组、LPS组、LPS+三七皂苷R1组、LPS+三七皂苷R1+AMPK抑制剂Compound C组。流式细胞术检测细胞的凋亡情况,Western blot检测细胞中Bcl-2、Bax、cleaved Caspase-3、Beclin-1、p62、pAMPK、p-mTOR、p-ULK1蛋白表达水平及LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ蛋白表达比值,免疫荧光染色实验检测细胞中LC3蛋白的表达水平。结果 相对于control组,LPS组细胞的凋亡率升高(P<0.05),细胞中Bcl-2、Beclin-1、p-AMPK、p-ULK1蛋白表达水平及LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ比值降低(P<0.05),细胞中Bax、cleaved Caspase-3、p62、p-mTOR蛋白表达水平升高(P<0.05);相对于LPS组,LPS+三七皂苷R1组、LPS+三七皂苷R1+Compound C组细胞的凋亡率降低(P<0.05),细胞中Bcl-2、Beclin-1、p-AMPK、p-ULK1、蛋白表达水平及LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ比值升高(P<0.05),细胞中Bax、cleaved Caspase-3、p62、p-mTOR降低(P<0.05);相对于LPS+三七皂苷R1组,LPS+三七皂苷R1+Compound C组细胞的凋亡率升高(P<0.05),细胞中Bcl-2、Beclin-1、p-AMPK、p-ULK1蛋白表达水平及LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ比值降低(P<0.05),细胞中Bax、cleaved Caspase-3、p62、p-mTOR升高(P<0.05)。结论 三七皂苷R1能够促进LPS诱导的牙周炎细胞自噬并抑制其凋亡,其机制可能与激活AMPK/mTOR/ULK1信号通路有关。

Abstract:
    Objective To investigate the effects of Panax notoginseng saponin R1(NGR1) on autophagy in lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced periodontitis cells via the adenosine 5’-monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK)/mammalian rapamycin target protein(mTOR)/Unc-51 like kinase 1(ULK1) signaling pathway. Methods Human periodontal ligament fibroblasts(hPDLFs) were treated with 100 ng/mL LPS for 24 h to establish a periodontitis cell model. The periodontitis cells were divided into control group,LPS group, LPS+NGR1 group, and LPS+NGR1+AMPK inhibitor Compound C group. Flow cytometry was used to check apoptosis of the cells. The protein expression levels of Bcl-2, Bax, cleaved Caspase-3, Beclin-1, p62, p-AMPK, p-m TOR, and p-ULK1, as well as the LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio, were determined by Western blot. Immunofluorescence staining assay was used to examine the protein expression level of LC3. Results Compared with the control group, the LPS group exhibited a significant increase in the apoptosis rate of cells(P<0.05). The protein expression levels of Bcl-2, Beclin-1, p-AMPK and p-ULK1 in cells, as well as the LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio in cells decreased(P<0.05). Conversely, the protein expression levels of Bax, cleaved Caspase-3, p62, and p-mTOR in cells were elevated(P<0.05). Compared with the LPS group, the apoptosis rate of cells in LPS+Panax notoginseng saponin R1 group and LPS+Panax notoginseng saponin R1+Compound C group decreased(P<0.05). The protein expression levels of Bcl-2, Beclin-1, p-AMPK,and p-ULK1, as well as the LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio, significantly increased(P <0.05). Conversely, the protein expression levels of Bax,cleaved Caspase-3, p62, and p-mTOR significantly decreased(P<0.05). Compared with the LPS+notoginsenoside R1 group, the cells in the LPS+notoginsenoside R1+Compound C group exhibited an increased apoptosis rate(P<0.05), along with decreased levels of Bcl-2,Beclin-1, the ratio of LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ, p-AMPK, and p-ULK1(P<0.05), while showing increased levels of Bax, cleaved Caspase-3, p62, and p-mTOR(P<0.05). Conclusion Panax notoginseng saponin R1 promotes autophagy and inhibits apoptosis of LPS-induced periodontitis cells, and its mechanism may be related to the activation of AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 signaling pathway.
