摘要:

目的 探讨微RNA(microRNA,miRNA或miR)-887-3p对大鼠椎间盘纤维环细胞增殖和凋亡的影响及其潜在的分子机制。 方法 取8周龄SPF级雄性SD大鼠的纤维环组织,离心制备并鉴定纤维环细胞。实验随机分为4组:正常组(Normal group)是不做任何处理的原代纤维环细胞;对照组(Control group)用10 ng/mL白细胞介素-1β(interleukin-1β,IL-1β)处理纤维环细胞24 h,形成退变细胞模型;干扰组(miR-887-3p inhibitor)是在对照组的基础上用Lipo3000转染miR-887-3p 抑制子;过表达组(miR-887-3p mimics)是在对照组的基础上用Lipo3000转染miR-887-3p模拟物。采用CCK-8法检测各组细胞活力;流式细胞术检测各组细胞凋亡率;实时荧光定量PCR法检测miR-887-3p和鼠双微体4(murine double minute 4,MDM4)mRNA的表达;蛋白质印迹法检测MDM4、Bcl-2和Caspase-3的蛋白表达水平。 结果 免疫荧光染色法鉴定分离培养的细胞发现,大鼠椎间盘纤维环细胞中Collagen I的阳性率在90%以上,提示纤维环细胞纯度大于90%。实时荧光定量PCR结果显示,利用IL-1β构建纤维环退变细胞模型后,miR-887-3p表达水平与正常组相比显著上升(P<0.001);与对照组相比,转染miR-887-3p抑制子后,miR-887-3p表达水平显著下降(P<0.001)。CCK-8法检测结果表明,与正常组相比,对照组细胞活力显著下降(P<0.001);与对照组相比,抑制miR-887-3p的表达后,细胞增殖能力显著增强;miR-887-3p过表达后,细胞增殖能力显著下降。流式细胞仪检测结果表明,与正常组相比,对照组的细胞凋亡率显著增加(P<0.001);与对照组相比,miR-887-3p干扰组的细胞凋亡率显著降低(P<0.001),miR-887-3p过表达组的细胞凋亡率显著增加(P<0.001)。蛋白质印迹法检测结果发现,与正常组相比,对照组中Bcl-2的表达水平显著降低(P<0.001),Caspase-3的表达水平显著升高(P<0.001);与对照组相比,miR-887-3p干扰组中Bcl-2和MDM4表达水平显著升高(P<0.01),Caspase-3的表达水平显著降低(P<0.01);而miR-887-3p过表达组中Bcl-2和MDM4表达水平显著降低(P<0.05),Caspase-3的表达水平显著升高(P<0.05)。实时荧光定量PCR和蛋白免疫印迹结果显示,干扰miR-887-3p后,MDM4蛋白和mRNA的表达增加(P<0.001);过表达miR-887-3p后,MDM4蛋白和mRNA的表达降低(P<0.01,P<0.001)。 结论 miR-887-3p可能通过调控MDM4的表达来影响大鼠椎间盘纤维环细胞的增殖和凋亡,进而影响椎间盘退变的发生和发展。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effects of microRNA (miRNA, miR)-887-3p on the proliferation and apoptosis of rat intervertebral disc annulus fibrosus cells and its underlying molecular mechanism. Methods Annulus fibrosus tissues were obtained from 8-week-old SPF-grade SD male rats, centrifuged to prepare and identify annulus fibrosus cells. Rats in the experiment were randomly divided into four groups: a Normal group consisting of primary annulus fibrosus cells without any treatment; a Control group treated with 10 ng/mL interleukin-1β (IL-1β) for 24 hours to establish a degenerative cell model; an interference group (miR-887-3p inhibitor) transfected with miR-887-3p inhibitor using Lipo3000 based on the Control group; and an overexpression group (miR-887-3p mimics) transfected with miR-887-3p mimics using Lipo3000 based on the Control group. CCK-8 assay was used to assess cell viability; flow cytometry was used to measure cell apoptosis rates; real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) was used to detect the expression levels of miR-887-3p and murine double minute 4 (MDM4) mRNA; Western blotting was used to measure the protein expression levels of MDM4, Bcl-2, and Caspase-3. Results Immunofluorescence staining of isolated and cultured cells revealed a Collagen I positive rate of over 90% in rat intervertebral disc annulus fibrosus cells, indicating a cell purity level greater than 90%. Real-time fluorescence qPCR results showed that after establishing an annulus fibrosus degenerative cell model using IL-1β, the expression level of miR-887-3p significantly increased compared to the Normal group (P<0.001). Compared to the Control group, transfection with miR-887-3p inhibitor resulted in a significant decrease in its expression level (P<0.001). The CCK-8 assay showed that compared to the Normal group, cell viability significantly decreased in the Control group (P<0.001). Compared to the Control group, cell proliferation ability significantly increased after miR-887-3p inhibition, and significantly decreased after overexpression of miR-887-3p. Flow cytometry results revealed that compared to the Normal group, the apoptosis rate in the Control group significantly increased (P<0.001). Compared to the Control group, the cell apoptosis rate significantly decreased in the miR-887-3p interference group (P<0.001) and increased in the overexpression group (P<0.001). Western blotting analysis showed that compared to the Normal group, Bcl-2 expression level significantly decreased (P<0.001) and Caspase-3 expression level significantly increased (P<0.001) in the Control group. Compared to the Control group, Bcl-2 and MDM4 expression levels significantly increased (P<0.01), and Caspase-3 expression level significantly decreased (P<0.01) in the miR-887-3p interference group; whereas in the overexpression group, Bcl?2 and MDM4 expression levels significantly decreased (P<0.05), and Caspase-3 levels significantly increased (P<0.05). Real-time fluorescence qPCR and protein immunoblotting results showed that after interfering with miR-887-3p, the expression of MDM4 protein and mRNA increased (P<0.001); after overexpressing miR-887-3p, their expression decreased (protein, P<0.01; mRNA, P<0.001). Conclusion MiR-887-3p may modulate the cell proliferation and apoptosis of rat intervertebral disc annulus fibrosus cells by regulating MDM4 expression, thereby influencing the development and progression of disc degeneration.
