ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the apoptosis effect of ischemic postconditioning on levels of IL-6 and ATP during renal ischemia/reperfusion injury in obstructive jaundice rats. Methods One hundred SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: the Sham control group , I/R group , OJ-Sham group , OJ-I/R group , and OJ- I/R+IPO group, with 20 cases in each group. According to the time after ischemia/reperfusion, each group was divided into four subgroups (n = 5), with reperfusion time of 0 h, 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, respectively. After 1 week of biliary obstruction , rats were sacrificed at 0 h , 1 h , 3 h , 6 h post-I/R , and the left kidneys were taken, renal tissue was used for determination of the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and adenosinetriphosphate (ATP). Results Compared with the OJ-I/R group, the serum level of BUN,Cr decreased significantly in the OJ-I/R-IPO group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Ischemic postconditioning can reduce the injury of kidney ischemia-reperfusion in OJ rais , which may be related to the reduced inflammation reaction and the energy metabolism in the kidney.
ABSTRACT
[ABSTRACT]AIM:ToexaminetheeffectsofhighconcentrationofextracellularATPonhumanneuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell injury.METHODS: Cultured SH-SY5Y cells were grouped according to the concentrations of ATP and treatment time.The cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay.The variation of autophagic vacuoles was observed with monodansylcadaverine staining .The cell apoptosis was analyzed by Hoechst 33258 staining.Meanwhile, apoptotic rate was detected by flow cytometry .The levels of caspase-3 and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-Ⅱ ( LC3-Ⅱ) were determined by Western blotting .RESULTS:Compared with control group , the survival rate of SH-SY5Y cells was signifi-cantly reduced by ATP at different concentrations (3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 mmol/L for 3 h) and different treatment time (1, 2, 3 and 6 h with 6 mmol/L ATP, peaking at 3 h).The autophagic vacuoles of SH-SY5Y cells were significantly increased at 1 h with ATP treatment , trended to decrease over time and returned to control level at 6 h.The protein expression of LC3-Ⅱwas significantly increased at 1 h with ATP treatment , which was consistent with the time points of increasing auto-phagic vacuoles .LC3-Ⅱexpression level gradually decreased at 2~3 h with ATP treatment , and returned to control level at 6 h.Compared with control group , the apoptotic rate and the expression level of caspase-3 were enhanced synchronously . The peak of apoptotic rate occurred at 3 h, and kept until 6 h.The level of cleaved caspase-3 expression peaked at 6 h. CONCLUSION:High concentration of extracellular ATP induces the autophagy and apoptosis of SH -SY5Y cells.The in-creased autophagy shows up , followed by the climax of apoptosis until 6 h.With the prolonged duration of ATP , apoptosis is the main process in the cells .
