Aim To observe the effect of BAPTA-AM on extracellular acid-induced autophagy in rat articular chondrocytes and its possible mechanisms.Methods Rat articular chondrocytes were isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats and incubated with different pH medium. The states of autophagy were examined by acridine or-ange (AO ) staining .Moreover,the expressions of LC3 ,Beclin-1 ,ULK1 ,CaMKKβ,AMPK and mTOR were detected using Western blot or quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR ). Intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i )was analyzed by a Ca2+-imaging method. Results Compared with pH 6.0 group,BAPTA-AM could significantly decrease the activation of autophagyinduced by acid exposure,and the expressions of autophagy markers including LC3 Ⅱ,Beclin1 and ULK1were also decreased,accompanied with reduced acidinduced [Ca2 +]i influx,decreased proteins expressionof CaMKKβand phosphorylatedAMPK,and increasedphosphorylation of mTOR.Conclusion BAPTAAMcan significantly restrain acidinduced autophagy in ratarticular chondrocytes,the mechanism of which may beassociated with decreased Ca2 + influx.
