Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) on the glycolysis level of human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (hRMECs).Methods:A experimental study. hRMECs cultured in vitro were divided into normal group, 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) group (4-HNE group) and 4-HNE+BMP4 treatment group (BMP4 group). 4-HNE group cell culture medium was added with 10 μmmol/L 4-HNE; BMP4 group cell culture medium was added with recombinant human BMP4 100 ng/ml after 6 h stimulation with 10 μmol/L 4-HNE. The levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were detected by flow cytometry. The effect of 4-HNE on the viability of cells was detected by thiazole blue colorimetry. Cell scratch test and Transwell cell method were used to determine the effect of 4-HNE on cell migration. The relative expression of BMP4 and SMAD9 mRNA and protein in normal group and 4-HNE group were detected by realtime quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. Seahorse XFe96 cell energy metabolism analyzer was used to determine the level of intracellular glycolysis metabolism in normal group, 4-HNE group and BMP4 group. One-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between groups.Results:The ROS levels in hRMECs of normal group, 4-HNE group and BMP4 group were 21±1, 815±5, 810±7, respectively. Compared with the normal group, the levels of ROS in the 4-HNE group and the BMP4 group were significantly increased, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=53.40, 50.30; P<0.001). The cell viability in the normal group and 4-HNE group was 1.05±0.05 and 1.28±0.05, respectively; the migration rates were (0.148±0.005)%, (0.376±0.015)%; the number of cells passing through the pores were 109.0±9.6, 318.0±6.4, respectively. Compared with the normal group, the 4-HNE group had significantly higher cell viability, cell migration rate, and the number of cells passing through the pores, and the differences were statistically significant ( F=54.35, 52.84, 84.35; P<0.05). The relative expression levels of BMP4 and SMAD9 mRNA in the cells of the 4-HEN group were 1.680±0.039 and 1.760±0.011, respectively; compared with the normal group, the difference was statistically significant ( F=53.66, 83.54; P<0.05). The relative expression levels of BMP4 and SMAD9 proteins in the cells of the normal group and 4-HEN group were 0.620±0.045, 0.860±0.190, 0.166±0.049, 0.309±0.038, respectively; compared with the normal group, the differences were statistically significant ( F=24.87, 53.84; P<0.05). The levels of intracellular glycolysis, glycolytic capacity and glycolytic reserve in normal group, 4-HNE group and BMP4 group were 1.21±0.12, 2.84±0.24, 1.78±0.36, 2.59±0.11, 5.34±0.32, 2.78±0.45 and 2.64±0.13, 5.20±0.28, 2.66±0.33. Compared with the normal group, the differences were statistically significant (4-HNE group: F=86.34, 69.75, 58.45; P<0.001; BMP4 group: F=56.87, 59.35, 58.35; P<0.05). There was no significant difference in intracellular glycolysis, glycolysis capacity and glycolysis reserve level between 4-HNE group and BMP4 group ( F=48.32, 56.33, 55.01; P>0.05). Conclusion:BMP4 induces the proliferation and migration of hRMECs through glycolysis.
