目的研究角膜上皮细胞是否存在腺嘌呤核糖核苷酸活化的蛋白激酶(AMPK)磷酸化及真菌对角膜上皮细胞AMPK磷酸化和白细胞介素6(IL-6)表达的影响。
方法取人永生化角膜上皮细胞系,采用实时无标记细胞多功能分析仪筛选AMPK激动剂5-氨基-4-甲酰胺咪唑核糖核苷酸(AICAR)(100、300、500和1 000 μmol/L)和抑制剂化合物C(10.0、12.5、15.0、17.5和20.0 μmol/L)对角膜上皮细胞作用的安全浓度范围。以单纯角膜上皮细胞作为正常对照组,角膜上皮细胞与孢子共培养作为孢子对照组,在孢子对照组基础上分别加入AICAR和化合物C作为AICAR组和化合物C组,分别培养4 h。采用Western blot法检测角膜上皮细胞磷酸化AMPK(p-AMPK)和AMPK的表达,采用酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)法测定角膜上皮细胞培养上清液中IL-6质量浓度。
结果不同浓度AICAR作用于角膜上皮细胞不同时间后,细胞指数总体比较差异均无统计学意义(均 P>0.05)。10.0 μmol/L和12.5 μmol/L化合物C作用于角膜上皮细胞后细胞指数较未处理细胞升高。正常对照组、孢子对照组、AICAR组和化合物C组p-AMPK水平分别为0.67±0.15、2.57±0.12、3.67±0.58和1.50±0.50,各组间总体比较差异有统计学意义( F=32.820, P<0.001)。孢子对照组p-AMPK水平较正常对照组升高,差异有统计学意义( P<0.001);AICAR组较孢子对照组p-AMPK水平升高,化合物C组较孢子对照组p-AMPK水平降低,差异均有统计学意义(均 P=0.010)。正常对照组、孢子对照组、AICAR组和化合物C组AMPK相对表达量总体比较差异无统计学意义( F=0.120, P=0.950)。正常对照组、孢子对照组、AICAR组和化合物C组IL-6质量浓度分别为(107.81±17.15)、(156.32±9.94)、(167.96±14.16)和(127.42±19.75)pg/ml,各组间总体比较差异有统计学意义( F=15.210, P<0.001),其中孢子对照组IL-6质量浓度较正常对照组升高,差异有统计学意义( P<0.001);AICAR组IL-6质量浓度较孢子对照组略升高,差异无统计学意义( P=0.260),化合物C组IL-6质量浓度较孢子对照组降低,差异有统计学意义( P=0.010)。
结论角膜上皮细胞有AMPK磷酸化表达,且真菌孢子刺激角膜上皮细胞后AMPK磷酸化增强,IL-6分泌增多。
ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation in corneal epithelial cells and the effects of fungus on AMPK phosphorylation and interleukin-6 (IL-6) production in corneal epithelial cells.
MethodsThe human immortalized corneal epithelial cell line was selected.The safe concentration range of AMPK agonist 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide 1-β-D-ribofuranoside (AICAR) (100, 300, 500, 1 000 μmol/L) and inhibitor Compound C (10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 17.5, 20.0 μmol/L) on corneal epithelial cells was screened by multi-function real-time unlabeled cell analyzer.Corneal epithelial cells without any treatment were used as the normal control group, and those co-cultured with spores were used as the spore control group.Corneal epithelial cells co-cultured with spores were treated with AICAR and Compound C for 4 hours in the AICAR group and Compound C group, respectively.The expression of phosphorylated AMPK (p-AMPK) and AMPK in corneal epithelial cells was detected by Western blot, and the concentration of IL-6 in the culture supernatant was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
ResultsAfter treatment with different concentrations of AICAR for different periods, there was no statistical significance in the cell index of corneal epithelial cells (all at P>0.05). The cell index of corneal epithelial cells was increased with 10.0 μmol/L and 12.5 μmol/L Compound C treatment compared with that of the normal control group.The expression levels of p-AMPK were 0.67±0.15, 2.57±0.12, 3.67±0.58 and 1.50±0.50, respectively, in the normal control group, spore control group, AICAR group and Compound C group, showing a statistically significant difference among them ( F=32.820, P<0.001). The expression level of p-AMPK was significantly higher in the spore control group compared with the normal control group ( P<0.001). The expression level of p-AMPK in the AICAR group was higher than that in the spore control group, and the expression level of p-AMPK in the Compound C group was lower than that in the spore control group, and the differences were statistically significant (both at P=0.010). There was no significant difference in the relative expression level of AMPK among the four groups ( F=0.120, P=0.950). The expression levels of IL-6 concentration in the normal control group, spore control group, AICAR group and Compound C group were (107.81±17.15), (156.32±9.94), (167.96±14.16) and (127.42±19.75)pg/ml, respectively, showing a statistically significant difference among them ( F=15.210, P<0.001). The IL-6 concentration of the spore control group was higher than that of the normal control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). The IL-6 concentration of the AICAR group was higher than that of the spore control group, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P=0.260). The IL-6 concentration of the Compound C group was lower than that of the spore control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.010).
ConclusionsIn corneal epithelial cells, AMPK phosphorylation is found, which is enhanced after fungal spores stimulation, and the secretion of IL-6 increases.
