Abstract:
Objective To investigate the regulatory effects of wedelobata on apoptosis and secretion of inflammatory factors in the alveolar epithelial cells infected by Streptococcus pn e um on i a e.Methods Alveolar epithelial cells A549 were divided into infection group(1×108/CFU/mL cultured cells of Streptococcus pneumoniae),control group(no treatment),infection+wedelolactone low-dose group,middle-dose group and high-dose group(pretreated with wedelolactone at 10,20 and 40 μmol/L and then cultured cells of Streptococcus pneumoniae at 1×108/CFU/mL).Alveolar epithelial cells A549 were divided into infection group(1×108/CFU/mL cultured cells of Streptococcus pneumoniae),control group(no treatment),infection+wedelolactone low-dose group,middle-dose group and high-dose group(pretreated with wedelolactone at 10,20 and 40 μmol/L and then cultured cells of Streptococcus pneumoniae at 1×108/CFU/mL).Results Compared with control group,the apoptosis rate,the relative expression levels of Bax,Caspase-3 protein,IL-6,IL-1β and TNF-α mRNA were higher in infection group,infection + wedelolide low dose group,medium dose group and high dose group,while the expression level of Bcl-2 protein was lower(P<0.05).Compared with the infected group,the apoptosis rate,the relative expression levels of Bax,Caspase-3 protein,IL-6,IL-1β and TNF-α mRNA and the expression levels of Bcl-2 protein were lower in the infected + wedelolide low dose,medium dose and high dose groups.Moreover,the apop-tosis rate,the expression levels of Bax,Caspase-3 protein,IL-6,IL-1β and TNF-α mRNA were the highest in the infected + wedelactone high-dose group,and the expression levels of Bcl-2 protein were the lowest(P<0.05).Conclusion The apoptosis rate of alveolar epithelial cells infected by Streptococcus pneumoniae decreased and the secretion of inflammatory factors decreased after the intervention of wedelia lactone.
