Abstract:
Objective To investigate the impacts of catalpol(CAT)on lead-induced neurotoxicity of PC 12 cells by regulating Janus kinase 2(JAK2)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3)signal pathway.Methods PC 12 cells were randomly grouped into blank group(blank medium treatment),model group(25 μmol·L-1 lead acetate),experimental-L group(25 μmol·L-1 lead acetate+2.5 mg·L-1 CAT),experimental-H group(25 μmol·L-1 lead acetate+5.0 mg·L-1 CAT)and experimental-H+colivelin group(25μmol·L-1lead acetate+5.0 mg·L-1CAT+0.5 μmol·L-1 colivelin).Lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)assay was applied to detect cell damage;the apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry;the level of reactive oxygen species(ROS)was detected by fluorescence staining;the mRNA expression levels of JAK2 and STAT3 were measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction;Western blot was applied to detect the expression of JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway and apoptosis-related proteins in cells.Results The expression levels of B cell lymphomal/leukemia-2 protein in the blank group,model group,experimental-H group,experimental-H+colivelin group were 0.80±0.08,0.33±0.03,0.74±0.07 and 0.45±0.04;the cell LDH levels were(214.28±12.07),(376.50±28.46),(243.25±14.88)and(332.49±18.15)U·L-1;the ROS relative fluorescence intensity were 1.00±0.00,1.89±0.19,1.20±0.12 and 1.75±0.17;the cell apoptosis rates were(4.35±0.57)％,(26.59±1.96)％,(11.07±1.08)％and(21.63±2.06)％;the expression levels of JAK2 mRNA were 1.00±0.00,1.86±0.18,1.28±0.13 and 1.30±0.13;the expression levels of STAT3 mRNA were 1.00±0.00,1.94±0.19,1.34±0.13 and 1.72±0.17;the phosphorylation levels of p-JAK2/JAK2 were 0.26±0.03,0.78±0.08,0.38±0.04 and 0.36±0.07;the phosphorylation levels of p-STAT3/STAT3 were 0.23±0.02,0.84±0.08,0.42±0.04 and 0.75±0.07;the expression levels of Bax protein in cells were 0.31±0.03,0.86±0.08,0.40±0.04 and 0.69±0.07.The above indicators in the model group showed statistically significant differences compared to the blank group(all P＜0.05);the above indicators in the experimental-H group showed statistically significant differences compared to the model group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion CAT may reduce the lead-induced neurotoxicity of PC 12 cells by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway.
