摘要:

为探讨沉默长链非编码RNA(long non-coding RNA,LncRNA)浆细胞瘤转化迁移基因1(plasmacytoma variant translocation 1,PVT1)对高脂诱导的血管内皮细胞损伤和内皮功能障碍的影响及机制,将人脐静脉内皮细胞(human umbilical vein endothelial cells,HUVECs)分为4组:对照组、高脂组、高脂+si-NC组、高脂+si-PVT1组。采用RT-qPCR的方法检测转染后PVT1的表达水平;CCK-8检测细胞的增殖能力;宽场高内涵成像检测细胞的活性氧(reactive oxygen species,ROS)水平;ELISA法检测细胞白细胞介素-6(interleukin-6,IL-6)、超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase,SOD)、丙二醛(malondialdehyde,MDA)和内皮素-1(endothelin-1,ET-1)水平。Western blot检测磷脂酰肌醇3-激酶(phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase,PI3K)、蛋白激酶B(protein kinase B,AKT)和核因子κB(nuclear factor kappa-B,NF-κB)的表达水平。结果显示,沉默PVT1后,PVT1的表达水平显著降低,而且HUVECs的增殖活力显著提高。与对照组比较,高脂组细胞ROS、MDA、IL-6、ET-1水平均显著增加,SOD水平显著减少,PI3K、AKT和NF-κB表达水平均显著上调。与高脂+si-NC组比较,高脂+si-PVT1组细胞中ROS、MDA、IL-6、ET-1含量均显著减少,SOD含量显著升高,PI3K、AKT和NF-κB表达水平显著下调。本研究表明抑制PVT1表达可以显著抑制高脂诱导的内皮细胞的炎症反应,减轻氧化应激,改善内皮功能障碍,为LncRNA PVT1作为动脉粥样硬化及相关疾病的重要的检测及治疗靶点提供科学依据。

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of silencing long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) on high-fat-induced vascular endothelial cell injury and endothelial dysfunction. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (human umbilical vein endothelial cells, HUVECs) were divided into four groups, including control group, high-fat group, high-fat + si-NC group, and high-fat + si-PVT1 group. The expression level of PVT1 after transfection, the proliferation ability of cells and the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were detected by RT-qPCR, CCK-8 and wide-field high-content imaging, respectively. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in cells were detected by ELISA. The expression levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (AKT), and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) were detected by Western blot. The results showed that the expression level of PVT1 was significantly decreased, and the proliferation activity of HUVECs was significantly increased after silencing PVT1. Compared with the control group, the levels of ROS, MDA, IL-6, and ET-1 were significantly increased as well as the expression of PI3K, AKT, and NF-κB, and the SOD level was significantly decreased in the high-fat group. Compared with the high-fat + si-NC group, the contents of ROS, MDA, IL-6, and ET-1 were significantly decreased as well as the expression of PI3K, AKT, and NF-κB , and the content of SOD was significantly increased in the high-fat + si-PVT1 group. This study shows that inhibiting the expression of PVT1 can significantly inhibit the inflammatory response , reduce oxidative stress, and improve endothelial dysfunction induced by high fat. These results provided a scientific basis for LncRNA PVT1 as an important detection and treatment target for atherosclerosis and related diseases.
