Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of sodium butyrate on apoptosis of rat mesangial cells and the regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin(PI3K/AKT/mTOR)signal pathway,and analyze the possible mechanism.Methods Primary cultured,isolated and purified rat mesangial cells.The cells were randomly divided into blank group,control group[10 μg·L-1 epidermal growth factor(EGF)],low dose experimental group(10μg·L-1 EGF+0.5 mmol·L-1 sodium butyrate),medium dose experimental group(10 μg·L-1 EGF+1.0 mmol·L-1 sodium butyrate)and high dose experimental group 10 μg·L-1 EGF+2.0 mmol·L-1sodium butyrate).Cell survival rate was detected by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)method,cell cycle was detected by propyl iodide(PI)staining,cell apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry,and the expression of PI3K/AKT/mTOR channel-related proteins was detected by Western blot.Results After 24 h of treatment,the optical density of blank group,control group and low,medium,high dose experimental group were 0.36±0.03,0.66 ±0.03,0.57±0.05,0.47±0.02,0.41±0.01;which at 48 h of treatment were 0.55±0.03,0.83±0.04,0.68 ±0.03,0.65±0.02,0.60±0.02,respectively.The results showed that 10 μg·L-1 EGF significantly stimulated the proliferation and activation of mesangial cells(P＜0.05),and the proliferation of mesangial cells was significantly inhibited after treatment with different concentrations of sodium butyrate for 24 and 48 h(P＜0.05).PI staining showed that the G1 phase blocking rates of blank group,control group and low,medium,high dose experimental groups were(53.37±0.43)％,(46.84±0.67)％,(57.81±0.48)％,(62.77±0.77)％,(67.57±0.71)％,respectively.The results showed that sodium butyrate could induce cell cycle arrest in G1 phase in a concentration-dependent manner(P＜0.01).The apoptosis rates of blank group,control group and low,medium,high dose experimental groups were(4.43±0.48)％,(2.45±0.31)％,(6.16±0.33)％,(8.25±0.40)％and(12.12±0.41)％,the differences were statistically significant between control group and low,medium,high dose experimental groups(all P＜0.01).Conclusion Sodium butyrate can effectively inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of rat mesangial cells,and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.
