ABSTRACT
The tubers of three orchidaceous plants, includingPleione bulbocodioides (Franch.) Rolfe, have been used as 'Shan-Ci-Gu' in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of bacterial infections and cancers for thousands of years. In this study, the effects of an acetoacetate (EtOAc) extract of P. bulbocodioides on the cell viability and apoptosis of THP-1 (human acute monocytic leukemia cell line) cells and its interaction with possible apoptotic pathways were investigated. THP-1 cells were treated with the EtOAc extract of P. bulbocodioides at different concentrations. The results showed that THP-1 cell viability was significantly inhibited by the EtOAc extract ofP. bulbocodioides with an IC50 of 51.37±2.68 µ g/ mL at 24 h. The examination of cytotoxic effects on healthy cells showed that the EtOAc extract of P. bulbocodioidesdid not show any effect on healthy Vero cells. Selectivity indexes were greater than 15.57, suggesting that the EtOAc extract of P. bulbocodioides had selective toxicity against THP-1 cells. The results of annexin V-FITC/PI and DAPI staining showed that the EtOAc extract of P. bulbocodioides induced cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. The apoptotic rate was increased in the treatment groups compared with that in the control group (P<0.05). The distribution of cells in the G2 phase of the cell cycle increased along with typical cell apoptosis-induced morphological changes. The levels of the pro-apoptotic proteins Bax, cleaved PARP and cleaved caspase-3 increased with increasing concentration of acetoacetate extract of P. bulbocodioides, while the anti-apoptosis protein Bcl-2 was downregulated. Cyt c and AIF, which are characteristic proteins of the mitochondria-regulated intrinsic apoptosis pathway, also increased in the cytosol with increasing concentrations of the EtOAc extract of P. bulbocodioides. These results showed that the EtOAc extract of P. bulbocodioidessignificantly inhibits cell viability and induces cell apoptosis in the human leukemia cell line THP-1 through a mitochondria-regulated intrinsic apoptotic pathway
RESUMO
Os tubérculos de três plantas orquidáceas, incluindo Pleione bulbocodioides (Franch.) Rolfe, têm sido usados como "Shan-Ci-Gu" na medicina tradicional chinesa para o tratamento de infecções bacterianas e cânceres por milhares de anos. Neste estudo, os efeitos de um extrato de acetoacetato (EtOAc) de P. bulbocodioides na viabilidade celular e apoptose de células THP-1 (linhagem celular de leucemia monocítica aguda humana) e sua interação com possíveis vias apoptóticas foram investigados. As células THP-1 foram tratadas com o extrato EtOAc de P. bulbocodioides em diferentes concentrações. Os resultados mostraram que a viabilidade das células THP-1 foi significativamente inibida pelo extrato EtOAc de P. bulbocodioides com IC50 de 51,37 ± 2,68 µ g/mL às 24 h. O exame dos efeitos citotóxicos em células saudáveis mostrou que oextrato de EtOAc de P. bulbocodioides não mostrou nenhum efeito sobre células Vero saudáveis. Os índices de seletividade foram maiores que 15,57, sugerindo que o extrato de EtOAc de P. bulbocodioides teve toxicidade seletiva contra as células THP-1. Os resultados da coloração da anexina V-FITC/PI e DAPI mostraram que o extrato de EtOAc de P. bulbocodioides induziu a apoptose celular de maneira dose-dependente. A taxa de apoptose foi aumentada nos grupos de tratamento em comparação com o grupo controle (P <0,05). A distribuição de células na fase G2 do ciclo celular aumentou juntamente com alterações morfológicas típicas induzidas pela apoptose celular. Os níveis das proteínas pró-apoptóticas Bax, PARP clivada e caspase-3 clivada aumentaram com o aumento da concentração do extrato acetoacetato de P. bulbocodioides, enquanto a proteína anti-apoptose Bcl-2 foi regulada negativamente. Cyt c e AIF, que são proteínas características da via de apoptose intrínseca regulada por mitocôndrias, também aumentaram no citosol com concentrações crescentes do extrato de EtOAc de P. bulbocodioides. Estes resultados mostraram que o extrato de EtOAc de P. bulbocodioides inibe significativamente a viabilidade celular e induz a apoptose na linha celular de leucemia humana THP-1 através de uma via apoptótica intrínseca regulada por mitocôndrias.
