OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of S-allyl-L-cysteine (SAC) on isolated rat heart subject to ischemia/reperfusion(I/R) injury and the mechanisms.

METHODSThe isolated perfused rat hearts on a Langendorff apparatus were subjected to global ischemia for 30 min and followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Hemodynamic index, the production of formazan and the level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the coronary effluent were determined. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in myocardial homogenates were measured.

RESULTSCompared with I/R group, the hemodynamics were greatly improved, the production of formazan was increased, and LDH level in effluent was reduced in SAC group. SAC improved the SOD activity and significantly decreased the level of ROS. In addition, threonine (Thr) attenuated the protective effect of SAC significantly.

CONCLUSIONSAC has protective effect against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury on rats. The possible mechanism is that SAC be transported into the cell through alanine-serine-cysteine-transporter 1 (ASCT-1) improves SOD activity and reduces the level of ROS.

[摘 要] 目的：明确康莱特注射液（KLTi）通过调控胆固醇代谢对肺腺癌A549细胞恶性生物学行为的抑制作用。方法：构建A549细胞体外培养模型，设置空白对照组（CON组）、KLTi组、顺铂（DDP）组及KLTi+DDP组，分别给予对应药物干预，采用CCK-8法检测不同分组的药物干预对A549细胞增殖的影响，并确定IC50值用于后续实验；使用细胞划痕实验、平板克隆形成实验、Transwell侵袭实验观察不同分组药物对A549细胞恶性生物学行为的影响；流式细胞术检测不同分组药物对A549细胞晚期凋亡水平的影响；WB法检测各组细胞上皮间质转化（EMT）相关蛋白表达，ELISA法检测促炎因子释放水平。采用比色法检测细胞胆固醇含量水平的组间差异，借助WB法检测胆固醇代谢相关膜通道蛋白ATP结合盒转运蛋白A1（ABCA1）及功能蛋白ATP柠檬酸裂解酶（ACLY）、肽基脯氨酰异构酶B（PPIB）表达水平差异。结果：KLTi及DDP对A549细胞抑制作用具有时间及剂量依赖性（均P<0.05），最终选择2 mg/mL KLTi、3 μg/mL DDP作为干预剂量，按分组加药干预48 h后显示，KLTi单用或联合DDP均可抑制A549细胞克隆形成、迁移、侵袭能力且促进其晚期凋亡，KLTi+DDP组的效果更加明显（P<0.05或P<0.01）； KLTi单用或联合DDP可通过调控E-cadherin、vimentin、snail蛋白表达从而影响A549细胞EMT进程（P<0.05或P<0.01），同时下调IL-6及IL-8的释放水平（P<0.05或P<0.01）。KLTi单用及联合DDP均可以明显降低A549细胞胆固醇含量（P<0.05或P<0.01），并且对ABCA1、ACLY、PPIB表达具有调控作用，联合组的效果更加明显（P<0.05或P<0.01）。结论：KLTi可能通过调控胆固醇代谢水平及相关通道蛋白抑制肺腺癌A549细胞增殖、迁移、侵袭等恶性生物学行为及EMT进程。
