    Abstract

    Objective:To investigate the role of growth differentiation factor 15(GDF15)in irradiation resistance of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BM⁃MSCs)and determine its underlying mechanism. Methods:The BM⁃MSCs were transfected with GDF15 siRNA using Lipofectamine 3000. After the irradiation of BM⁃MSCs with 9 Gy Co⁃60 γ⁃rays,the cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry,CCK⁃8 was used to detect cell proliferation,and JC⁃1 was used to detect mitochondrial membrane potential, immunofluorescence,quantitative real⁃time PCR(RT⁃qPCR)and Western blot were used to detect the expression of GDF15,and the key molecules in ERK/Bcl ⁃ 2 signaling pathway. Results:After irradiation,the expression of GDF15 was increased significantly. Interference of GDF15 had no significant effect on cell cycle,proliferation and apoptosis in no ⁃ irradiated BM ⁃ MSCs(P ˃ 0.05). Interference of GDF15 in BM ⁃ MSCs suffering form irradiation increased G2 phase arrest(P ˂ 0.05),inhibited cell proliferation significantly(P ˂ 0.01),and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential. Meanwhile,Caspase3 was activated and apoptosis was significantly increased(P ˂ 0.05). The phosphorylation level of ERK1/2 and the expression level of Bcl⁃2 in GDF15 interference cells decreased significantly,while the expression of Bax increased significantly. Conclusion:The up ⁃ regulated expression of GDF15 ⁃ induces upon irradiation,and enhances irradiation resistance of BM⁃MSCs through the activation of ERK/Bcl⁃2 signaling pathway.

  • 随着放射技术在军事、医药和其他行业的大量应用,急性放射综合征(acute radiation syndrome, ARS)的研究也越来越受到人们的重视。放射造成造血系统损伤,导致骨髓造血功能障碍,严重时可危及生命。骨髓间充质干细胞(bone marrow mesen⁃ chymal stem cells,BM⁃MSCs)作为骨髓造血微环境的重要组成部分,其自身及其后代子细胞可为造血干细胞(hematopoietic stem cells,HSCs)提供物理支撑。此外,BM⁃MSCs也可通过分泌多种造血/细胞因子,对HSCs的自我更新、分化及骨髓定植均发挥重要作用[1-3]。目前认为,相较于HSCs,BM⁃MSCs具有较强的放射抗性,其相关的放射抗性机制主要包括: DNA损伤的有效识别,双链断裂修复及细胞凋亡逃逸等,但目前其具体机制尚未被完全阐明[4]。鉴于BM⁃MSCs的存活可为放射损伤后造血重建提供基质干细胞基础,因此,深入研究其放射抗性机制,对探索骨髓型急性放射病救治的新策略具有重大意义。

  • 生长分化因子15(growth differentiation factor 15,GDF15)是转化生长因子β(transforming growth factor β,TGF⁃β)超家族中的一员,在各种细胞和组织中广泛分布,伴随着不同的应激反应,如炎症、心脏缺血再灌注、急性组织损伤、放射、癌症等,GDF15的表达会大幅增加[5-9]。既往研究表明,GDF15在部分癌细胞中高表达,并且在癌症的不同进展阶段具有促凋亡和抗凋亡两种效应[10-12]。本课题组前期研究结果显示,BM⁃MSCs放射后,GDF15的表达显著升高[13],其是否在BM⁃MSCs的放射抗性中发挥关键作用,目前尚不清楚。本研究考察了放射后上调的GDF15表达在BM⁃MSCs放射抗性中的作用,并初步探讨了其可能作用机制。

  • 2 结果

  • 2.1 放射诱导BM⁃MSCs中GDF15表达上调

  • 为明确放射后BM⁃MSCs中GDF15的表达情况,分别通过RT⁃qPCR、Western blot和免疫荧光检测细胞经放射处理后不同时间点GDF15的mRNA和蛋白表达水平。结果显示,GDF15的mRNA和蛋白水平在放射后显著升高(图1A、B)。同时,免疫荧光的结果也证实,放射可诱导GDF15的表达增加(图1C)。综上,在BM⁃MSCs细胞经放射诱导后GDF15的表达上调。

  • 2.2 GDF15干扰效果验证

  • 为明确放射后高表达的GDF15在BM⁃MSCs放射抗性中的作用,我们采用脂质体转染siRNA片段干扰GDF15的表达,并于细胞转染24h后,进行mRNA检测。结果显示,与干扰对照组相比,3个干扰片段均能有效降低GDF15的mRNA表达水平(P ˂ 0.05,图2A),其中干扰片段1的mRNA抑制效率达到75%;细胞转染72h后,进行蛋白检测,结果显示,与干扰对照组相比,3个干扰片段均能有效降低GDF15蛋白表达(P ˂ 0.05,图3B、C)。综合上述结果,干扰片段1的抑制效果最好,并拟采用此片段进行后续的干扰实验。

  • 2.3 干扰GDF15的表达可降低BM⁃MSCs放射后细胞增殖

  • 为明确GDF15表达水平对放射前后细胞增殖的影响,我们检测了细胞周期和细胞增殖活力。收取未放射和放射后24h的BM⁃MSCs细胞,通过PI染色检测细胞周期,结果显示,未放射条件下,干扰GDF15对BM⁃MSCs周期无明显影响;放射后24h时,干扰GDF15组G2期比例显著增加(P ˂ 0.05,图3A、B)。收取放射3d后的细胞,CCK⁃8法检测细胞增殖活力,结果显示与细胞周期结果相符,干扰GDF15几乎不影响未放射时的细胞增殖活力,却可导致放射后BM⁃MSCs细胞增殖活力显著降低(P ˂ 0.01,图3C)。综上所述,干扰GDF15基因表达可导致放射后BM⁃MSCs细胞G2期阻滞并且降低细胞增殖活力。

  • 2.4 干扰GDF15表达可增加BM⁃MSCs放射后细胞凋亡

  • 为进一步明确GDF15表达对BM⁃MSCs放射抗性的影响,我们通过Annexin V⁃PE/7AAD染色及检测Cleaved caspase3和JC ⁃ 1变化水平,明确干扰GDF15表达对BM⁃MSCs放射后细胞凋亡的影响。检测结果如图4A、B所示,未放射条件下,干扰GDF15表达对细胞的凋亡无显著性影响。而放射后,干扰GDF15可导致细胞凋亡率显著增加(P ˂ 0.05)。与之相应,Cleaved caspase3的Western blot结果证实,干扰GDF15可使放射后Caspase3的剪切水平增加(图4C)。同时,检测JC⁃1细胞线粒体膜电位的变化情况发现,在未放射条件下,对照组与干扰GDF15红/绿荧光强度比值无统计差异(P ˃ 0.05)。而放射后,干扰GDF15组与其干扰对照组相比,红/绿荧光强度比值显著降低,提示线粒体膜电位下降(P ˂ 0.001,图5)。上述结果表明,干扰GDF15表达可显著增加BM⁃MSCs细胞放射后凋亡。

  • 2.5 干扰GDF15表达可抑制BM⁃MSCs的ERK/Bcl⁃ 2信号通路活化

  • 为进一步明确干扰GDF15表达增加BM⁃MSCs放射敏感性的分子机制,我们检测了GDF15下游与细胞凋亡密切相关的关键通路ERK/Bcl⁃2的活化情况[15]。Western blot检测结果表明:与空白对照组和干扰对照组相比,干扰GDF15后,ERK1/2磷酸化水平明显降低,表明GDF15可以通过增加ERK1/2的磷酸化调节其下游蛋白的表达。与对照组相比,干扰GDF15导致抗凋亡关键分子Bcl⁃2蛋白水平明显降低,而促凋亡分子Bax蛋白水平明显升高(图6)。综上所述,干扰GDF15表达可通过抑制ERK信号通路活化,调节下游Bcl⁃2和Bax蛋白表达,进而增加BM⁃MSCs放射后凋亡。

  • 3 讨论

  • 在ARS的研究中,骨髓造血损伤是各种放射病最基本和最致命的表现之一,并贯穿各型ARS的始终[16]。因此,对于骨髓造血功能损伤的防治是ARS防治的关键和重要研究领域。BM⁃MSCs是一类具有自我更新和多向分化潜能的干细胞,可以分化为包括成骨细胞、脂肪细胞、软骨细胞、内皮细胞和成纤维细胞在内的骨髓基质细胞,以形成HSCs骨髓内定植的龛位,也可分泌多种造血因子、细胞因子和趋化因子建立细胞因子网络,对于正常造血功能的维持和损伤后造血重建都至关重要[17]。因此研究BM⁃ MSCs的放射抗性,对于造血重建具有重大意义。

  • 凋亡是放射诱导细胞死亡的主要原因之一,而BM⁃MSCs对凋亡的抗性被认为是放射耐受的关键机制。已有研究表明,放射后BM⁃MSCs的抗凋亡作用与较强的DNA损伤修复能力和较快的活性氧清除有关[18]。我们前期研究发现,GDF15升幅高的BM⁃MSCs凋亡率较低[13],提示GDF15可能参与BM⁃ MSCs的放射抗性,但具体机制未明。本研究发现放射可诱导BM⁃MSCs中GDF15表达显著上调,而干扰其表达可导致放射后细胞凋亡率增加,证实GDF15可促进细胞的放射抵抗。细胞对放射的敏感性与所处的周期密切相关,处于G1/S期的细胞放射敏感性低,处于G2期的细胞放射敏感性高[19]。已有文献报道,GDF15参与细胞周期的调控。如在宫颈癌细胞中,GDF15诱导c⁃Myc的表达,c⁃Myc作为调节细胞周期的经典转录因子,可诱导CDK1和cyclinB1的上调,CDK1⁃cyclinB1形成复合物促进细胞通过G2期[720]。本研究也证实干扰GDF15,放射后BM ⁃ MSCs的G2期阻滞增加。但是否GDF15通过该机制参与放射后BM⁃MSCs的G2期调控有待进一步研究。

  • 图4 干扰GDF15对BM⁃MSCs放射前后细胞凋亡的影响

  • Fig.4 The effects of GDF15interference on the apoptosis of BM⁃MSCs before and after irradiation

  • 线粒体是放射损伤的重要靶点。放射可直接作用于线粒体DNA,也可间接通过辐解产生的活性氧损伤线粒体的蛋白及细胞膜系统,破坏电子传递链(ETC)复合物Ⅰ、Ⅱ等,从而导致线粒体膜通透性改变、融合⁃分裂动态平衡失衡、线粒体膜电位下降等一系列结构和功能损害[21]。此外,GDF15也是线粒体功能损伤的标志物[22]。因此,我们检测了干扰GDF15对放射前后线粒体膜电位以及Caspase3剪切情况的影响。正常的线粒体膜电位是维持线粒体功能的关键,而其膜电位的降低是细胞凋亡早期的一个标志性事件[23]。本研究结果显示干扰GDF15对正常BM⁃MSCs线粒体膜电位无显著影响,但放射后却可以显著降低线粒体膜电位。此外,干扰GDF15的BM⁃MSCs放射后Cleaved caspase3水平最高。综上所述,干扰GDF15诱导BM⁃MSCs放射敏感性增加可能与线粒体凋亡途径增强有关。

  • ERK信号通路在BM⁃MSCs的增殖、分化和凋亡中具有重要作用。抑制ERK1/2磷酸化可通过调控Bax和Bcl⁃2表达水平,激活Caspase3,导致细胞凋亡[24]。在多种肿瘤细胞中,已有研究证实GDF15可结合酪氨酸激酶受体ErbB2,激活ErbB2的激酶活性,进而磷酸化ERK1/2调控细胞增殖[725]。因此,我们检测了在BM⁃MSCs中GDF15对ERK1/2磷酸化的影响,结果显示干扰GDF15抑制了ERK1/2的磷酸化水平。ERK1/2对细胞凋亡的调控主要通过对Bcl⁃2和Bax蛋白调节实现。研究表明,ERK1/2依赖性磷酸化可以激活cAMP反应性元素结合蛋白 (CREB),磷酸化的CREB入核并与Bcl⁃2的启动子结合,从而促进Bcl⁃2转录[24]。当Bcl⁃2表达较Bax多时,两者可以结合形成异源二聚体,抑制细胞的凋亡,而Bcl⁃2表达较Bax少时,Bax自身会形成同源二聚体,促进细胞的凋亡[27]。既往研究表明,与放射敏感性细胞相比,MSCs高表达抗凋亡蛋白Bcl⁃2,低表达促凋亡蛋白Bax[1]。因此,本研究检测了干扰GDF15之后,Bcl⁃2和Bax在BM⁃MSCs中的表达。干扰GDF15后Bcl⁃2蛋白水平降低,Bax蛋白水平升高,表明GDF15对BM⁃MSCs放射抗性的调控可能通过ERK/Bcl⁃2通路实现。

  • 综上所述,本研究证明了GDF15作为放射应激分子,通过激活ERK/Bcl⁃2通路活性,参与BM⁃MSCs的放射抗性调控,为放射后造血微环境的重建提供了调控靶分子。然而,BM⁃MSCs细胞中GDF15影响ERK磷酸化的具体机制尚不清楚,有待进一步的研究探索。
