【摘要】 目的  探讨铁螯合剂去铁胺(DFO)对诱导白血病细胞HL-60的分子机制。 方法  2003年7-12月用钙黄绿素(calcein)检测HL-60细胞LIP。台盼蓝活细胞拒染实验进行活细胞计数及细胞存活率测定;光镜形态学观察及流式细胞仪(FCM)等方法检测HL-60细胞凋亡;比色法检测caspase-3(基于pNA标记底物的比色法)活性。 结果  ①不同浓度的DFO作用于HL-60细胞后,随培养时间延长及DFO浓度的增加,动态铁池降低,细胞生存率逐渐下降,凋亡率增加,显示一定的时间剂量依赖性。②HL-60细胞在不同浓度的DFO作用下,caspase-3的活性逐渐升高。50、100 μmol/L DFO作用于HL-60细胞24 h,caspase-3酶活性升高明显,与对照组相比,有统计学意义(P lt;0.001);相关分析结果显示,HL-60细胞LIP的改变与caspase-3活性变化呈负相关系(r=-0.887,P lt;0.05)。 结论  DFO诱导白血病细胞凋亡的作用可能与螯合细胞内铁,降低细胞LIP,激活caspase-3,最终实施细胞凋亡密切相关。
【Abstract】 Objective  To observe the changes of caspase-3 activity during apoptosis of HL-60 cells induced by an iron deferoxamine (DFO). Methods  Exponentially growing HL-60 cells (1×106/mL) were used in this experiment from July 2003 to December 2003. The study groups were divided as follows: DFO group, iron+DFO group and control group. The viability was detected by typanblue, apoptosis was assessed by morphological study and flow cytometry (FCM) assay, and the caspase-3 activity was detected by melorimetry. The intracellular label iron pool (LIP) was measured with a fluorimetric assay using the metalsensitive probe calcein-AM. Results  ①When HL-60 cells were incubated with different concentrations of DFO, viability assay was lower than that in the control group at the 12th, 24th and 48th hour (P lt;0.05). ② The cells incubated with different concentrations of DFO showed dose-time dependence and was much higher than that in the control group (P lt;0.01). ③The caspase-3 activity was significantly higher in the apoptotic cells than that in the control cells. Conclusions  The apoptosis of HL-60 cells induced by DFO may be correlated with the decrease of cellular LIP and activity of caspase-3.
