Effect of hyperoxia on cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase -3 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen expres-sions in bone mesenchymal stem cells / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of hyperoxia on the expressions of cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase -3(Caspase -3)and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).Methods Primary BMSCs from SD rats were cultured in vitro,BMSCs grew to 70% -80% degrees of fu-sion and then were randomly divided into room air group and hyperoxia exposure group.Each group was divided into 5 sub -groups,and cultured for 0,3,6,1 2,and 24 h respectively.Morphology investigation with inverted phase contrast microscope was adopted.The expressions of Caspase -3 and PCNA protein levels were detected by Western blot. Results (1 )As time wenty by,compared with room air group,the gap between cells increased,some of the cells be-came circular,and cell detachment and floating appeared in the hyperoxia -exposure group (>1 2 h)compared with room air group.(2)As time went on,compared with the room air group,the expression levels of Caspase -3 protein in the hyperoxia -exposure group were increased,and the difference was significant after 6 hours of culture (0.27 ± 0.04 vs 0.1 4 ±0.02,t =5.03,P =0.007).(3)Compared with room air group,the PCNA levels of the hyperoxiaexpo-sure group(6 h)decreased,and the difference in PCNA protein expression levels was significant after 6 hours of culture (0.27 ±0.04 vs 0.38 ±0.04,t =3.37,P =0.028).Conclusions Hyperoxia exposure increases Caspase -3 expres-sion levels and decreases PCNA expression,which may affect the proliferation and apoptosis of BMSCs.
