Abstract:
Objective To observe the protective effect of polypyrimidine bundle-binding proteinrelated splicing factor (PSF) over-expression on RPE cell injury induced by advanced glycation end products (AGEs).Methods The human RPE cells cultured in vitro were divided into three groups:normal control group (N group),blank control group (N + AGEs group),empty vector control group (Vec + AGEs group),and PSF high expression group (PSF + AGEs).group).RPE cells in N group were routinely cultured;RPE cells in N + AGEs group were only transfected but did not introduce any exogenous genes combined with AGEs induction;Vec +AGEs group and PSF + AGEs group were transfected with pcDNA The empty vector or pcDNA-PSF eukaryotic expression plasmid was introduced into RPE cells and induced by AGEs.Except the N group,the other 3 groups of cells were transfected accordingly,and were stimulated with 150 μg/ml AGEs for 72 h after 24 h.HE staining and Hoechst 33258 staining were used to observe the effect of high PSF expression on the morphological changes of RPE cells;ROS level detection was used to analyze the effect of PSF high expression on the ROS expression of RPE cells induced by AGEs;MTT colorimetric method was used to detect the high PSF expression Effects on the viability of RPE cells;Western blot was used to detect the effects of different time and dose of PSF on the expression of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1).Results HE staining and Hoechst 33258 staining observation showed that the cells in group N were full in shape,the nucleus was round,the cytoplasm was rich,and the staining was uniform;the cells in N + AGEs group and Vec + AGEs group were reduced in size,the eosinophilic staining was enhanced,and the nucleus was densely densely stained.Pyrolysis and even fragmentation;the morphology of cells in the PSF + AGEs group was still full,the cytoplasm staining was more uniform,and the nucleus staining was uniform.The results of MTT colorimetry showed that high expression of PSF can effectively improve the viability of RPE cells,but this effect can be effectively antagonized by ZnPP,and the difference is statistically significant (F=33.26,P＜0.05).DCFH-DA test results showed that compared with the N + AGEs group and Vec + AGEs group,the ROS production in PSF + AGEs group decreased,the difference was statistically significant (F=1 1.94,P＜0.05).Western blot analysis showed that PSF protein upregulated HO-1 expression in a time-and dose-dependent manner.The relative expression level of HO-1 at 24,48,and 72 h after PSF protein was significantly higher than that at 0 h,and the difference was statistically significant (F=164.91,P＜0.05).The relative expression level of HO-1 under the action of 0.1,0.5,1.0,1.5,and 2.0 μg PSF protein was significantly higher than 0.0 μg,and the difference was statistically significant (F=104.82,P＜0.05).Conclusion PSF may inhibit the production of ROS by up-regulating the expression of HO-1,thus protecting the RPE cells induced by AGEs.
