Abstract

背景与目的 肺癌是世界范围内常见的恶性肿瘤,Ca2+对于肿瘤细胞凋亡有重要的调控作用。实时监测肺癌细胞内Ca2+水平,有助于深入研究Ca2+介导肺癌细胞凋亡的分子机制。本研究旨在观察Ca2+荧光探针fluo-3和fluo-4在HO诱导的A549细胞凋亡过程中的应用,实时测定胞浆Ca2+浓度([Ca2+]i),探讨[Ca2+]i与细胞凋亡的关系,并比较两种Ca2+探针在荧光强度及[Ca2+]i测定值方面的差异。 方法 采用Ca2+荧光探针fluo-3和fluo-4负载细胞,1 h后用不同浓度的HO刺激细胞,激光扫描共聚焦显微镜实时测定选取细胞的[Ca2+]i变化。采用DAPI染色试剂盒观察HO刺激后细胞凋亡情况。结果 在相同的探针浓度、负载时间和相同的图像采集参数的条件下,选定细胞内fluo-4平均荧光强度高于fluo-3。50 mM HO刺激后,A549细胞胞浆内[Ca2+]i迅速升高,通过公式计算发现采用fluo-3探针负载的选定细胞中[Ca2+]i变化范围是112.2 nM-1,069.6 nM,采用fluo-4探针负载的选定细胞中[Ca2+]i变化范围是7.6 nM-505.4 nM。同时发现经HO刺激后,凋亡细胞百分比明显增加(P<0.01)。结论 HO促进A549细胞内Ca2+释放,诱导细胞凋亡。Ca2+探针fluo-4可能更适合于监测含量较低的细胞中[Ca2+]i变化。

Background and objective Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor all over the world, and Ca2+ is a critical regulator for apoptosis of cancer cells. The monitoring of cytoplastic Ca2+ level in real-time will contribute to further investigate the molecular mechanisms of apoptosis mediated by Ca2+ in lung cancer cells. To evaluate the Ca2+ indicator fluo-3 and fluo-4 in the process of H2O2 induced the apoptosis of lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells. The cytoplastic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was determined in real-time, and the correlations between [Ca2+]i and cell apoptosis were investigated. The differences in fluorescence intensity and measured value were compared between the two Ca2+ indicators. Methods Cells were loaded with the Ca2+ indicator fluo-3 or fluo-4 for 1 h, and then stimulated with 50 mM H2O2. Laser scanning confocal microscope was applied to perform real-time monitoring on the variation of [Ca2+]i in selected cells. DAPI staining was used to observe apoptosis in H2O2 treated cells. Results Our results showed that the fluorescence intensity of fluo-4 was stronger than that of fluo-3 in the same condition of dye concentration, loading time and image acquisition parameters before or after H2O2 stimulation. The cytoplastic [Ca2+]i was rapidly elevated in H2O2 stimulated A549 cells. The range of [Ca2+]i in selected cells loaded with fluo-3 was 112.2 nM-1,069.6 nM, and that in selected cells loaded with fluo-4 was 7.6 nM-505.4 nM. Moreover, the apoptotic rate was significantly increased in H2O2 treated cells, compared with untreated ones (P<0.01). Conclusion In summary, H2O2 promoted Ca2+ release in A549 cells, and induced cell apoptosis. Ca2+ indicator fluo-4 was probably more applicable to measure [Ca2+]i in cells with less content of Ca2+.
