Effect of Annexin-A1 mimetic peptide Ac2-26 on activation of astrocytes in rats / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of Annexin-A1 mimetic peptide Ac2-26 on activation of astrocytes in rats.Methods The primarily cultured astrocytes from the cortex of fetal Sprague-Dawley rats after 4 passages were divined into 4 groups (n =24 each) using a random number table method:control group (C group),LPS group,LPS+scramble peptide group (LPS+Src group) and LPS+Ac2-26 group.LPS was added to LPS group with the final concentration of 1 mg/ml.LPS at the final concentration of 1 mg/ml and scramble peptide at the final concentration of 3.3 mmol/L were added to LPS+Src group.LPS at the final concentration of 1 mg/ml and Ac2-26 at the final concentration of 3.3 mmol/L were added to LPS+Ac2-26 group.After 24-h incubation,the cell survival rate was measured by CCK-8 assay,the migration was determined by Transwell assay,the concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α),interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β),monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and macrophage inflammatory protein-1 a (MIP-1a) in the supernatant were measured (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay),and the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP),extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK),phosphorylated ERK (p-ERK),c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK),phosphorylated JNK (p-JNK),p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK),and phosphorylated p38MAPK (p-p38MAPK) in astrocytes was detected by Western blot.Results Compared with group C,the expression of GFAP was significantly up-regulated,and the cell mobility,concentrations of TNF-α,IL-1β,MCP-1 and MIP-1α in the supernatant,p-ERK/ERK ratio,p-JNK/JNK ratio and p-p38MAPK/p38MAPK ratio were increased (P＜0.05),and no siguificant change was found in the cell survival rate in group LPS (P＞0.05).Compared with group LPS,the expression of GFAP was significantly down-regulated,and the cell mobility,concentrations of TNF-α,IL-1β,MCP-1 and MIP-1α in the supernatant,p-JNK/JNK ratio and p-p38MAPK/p38MAPK ratio were decreased in group LPS+Ac2-26 (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group LPS+Src (P＞0.05).Conclusion Ac2-26 can inhibit activation of astrocytes and produces anti-inflammatory effect in rats.
