Objective To investigate vitamin K3 (VK3) effect on apoptosis of human liver cancer cells and its mechanism. Methods The SMMC-7721 cells were cultured in the experiment. The inhibitory effects of VK3 on SMMC-7721 cells were tested by CCK-8. Morphological evaluation of apoptosis was performed by Hcechst33342 staining. The distribution of cell cycle and apoptosis, and the expression of Fas were assayed by flow cytometry. Fas mRNA expression were detected by RT-PCR. And the concentration of soluble Fas(sFasL) in the culture supernatant were measured by EIJSA. Results The inhibitory rates ofVK3 (at concentrations of 2,5,10,20,25 umol/L for 48 h) on SMMC-7721 growth were 33.8% ,50.1%,63.9% ,78.5% and 84.7%, respectively. Compared with the control group, the number of cells in the G0/G1 phase increased, while that of S phase decreased. The apoptotic cell rates were 18.75%, 25.80%,38.80% ,29.92% and 26.18% ,respectively. The apoptosis cells were strongly stained by Hcechst33342.On exposure to VK3 at the concentration of (2,5,10 umol/L) after 48 h, the mean fluorescence intensity ofFas on cell surface and the expression of fas mRNA and the concentration of FasL in the culture supematantin SMMC-7721 were increased, but they all decreased at the high concentration of VK3. Conclusion VK3can inhibit the proliferation of SMMC-7721 cells and induce apoptosis via up-regulating expression of Fas and sFasL.

Objective To observe the changes of A20 in mesangial cells of diabetic nephropathy (DN) rat model in?duced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-rat, and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods (1)Thirty health male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two group. Model rats were given streptozotocin (STZ) at a dose of 60 mg/kg by intraperitoneal in?jection. Rats in the control group received the same volume of citrate buffer in the same way. Levels of blood glucose and uri?nary microalbumin were detected in two groups at the 6th and the 8th week. Changes of renal pathology were observed by HE staining. Changes of protein A20 were observed by immunohistochemistry. (2) Expression changes of gene and proteins A20, nuclear factor (NF)-κB, IκB, IKKγand MCP-1 in renal cells treated with LPS were determined after treatment with different time points (0, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h) and different concentrations (0.1, 1 and 10μg/L). Results (1) Levels of blood glucose and urinary microalbumin were significantly increased in model group compared with those of control group ( P <0.01). HE stainig showed that hyaline degeneration in tubular epithelial cells was found in model group, especially at the 8th week. Results of immunohistochemistry showed that expression of protein A20 significantly decreased in kidney tubules and nearly disappeared in glomerulus in model group compared with that of control group, which expressed less at the 8th week. (2) There was no significant difference in the expression of IKKγbetween different concentrations and different times. Com?pared with 0 h, the expression of A20 protein was increased at 2 h and 4 h, except that the expression of A20 protein in?creased after 6 h (P<0.05). Meanwhile NF-κB expression increased and IκB expression decreased in different time points (P<0.05). In addition, the expressions of A20 and IκB were decreased concentration-dependently (P<0.05). The expres?sion levels of NF-κB and MCP-1 were increased concentration-dependently (P<0.05). Conclusion A20 may involve in the development of diabetic nephropathy by regulating the NF-κB pathway.
