旨在研究EGF是否通過調(diào)控HIF-1α抑制牦牛卵丘細(xì)胞凋亡。本研究在牦牛卵丘細(xì)胞體外培養(yǎng)時加入不同濃度的EGF,運用qRT-PCR和免疫熒光技術(shù)檢測HIF-1α、Bcl-2和Bax的表達,用一步法TUNEL檢測不同處理組卵丘細(xì)胞的凋亡情況。結(jié)果表明:(1)牦牛卵丘細(xì)胞體外培養(yǎng)液中添加不同濃度的EGF后,卵丘細(xì)胞HIF-1α和BaxmRNA的相對表達量降低,Bcl-2 mRNA的相對表達量增加,且具有濃度依賴性;當(dāng)EGF濃度為50 ng·mL-1時,HIF-1α和BaxmRNA的相對表達量最低,Bcl-2 mRNA的相對表達量最高。(2)向其體外培養(yǎng)液中添加不同濃度的EGF后,卵丘細(xì)胞HIF-1α和Bax蛋白的相對表達量降低,Bcl-2蛋白的相對表達量增加,且具有濃度依賴性;當(dāng)EGF濃度為50 ng·mL-1時,HIF-1α和Bax蛋白的相對表達量最低,Bcl-2蛋白的相對表達量最高。(3)TUNEL凋亡檢測表明,對照組中卵丘細(xì)胞凋亡率最高,當(dāng)EGF濃度為25 ng·mL-1時,細(xì)胞凋亡率顯著降低(P<0.05);當(dāng)EGF濃度為50 ng·mL-1時,細(xì)胞凋亡率最低(P<0.05),但隨著EGF濃度的增加,卵丘細(xì)胞的凋亡率又升高。本研究結(jié)果表明,EGF可通過調(diào)控HIF-1α抑制卵丘細(xì)胞凋亡,其作用可能與線粒體介導(dǎo)的Bax和Bcl-2凋亡途徑相關(guān)。

哺乳動物卵巢上存在數(shù)百萬的各級卵泡,但在卵泡生長過程中,除少量卵泡可以發(fā)育成熟排卵外,其余大部分卵泡都將閉鎖退化[1-2]。多數(shù)動物胎兒的原始卵泡、初級卵泡閉鎖主要是由卵母細(xì)胞凋亡引起,而成體卵泡閉鎖主要是卵丘細(xì)胞凋亡誘導(dǎo)的結(jié)果,卵丘細(xì)胞的凋亡程度與卵母細(xì)胞的成熟狀態(tài)和發(fā)育潛能呈正相關(guān)[3-4]。成熟的卵母細(xì)胞是體外受精、體細(xì)胞核移植胚胎生產(chǎn)的先決條件[5-6],而卵丘細(xì)胞(Cumulus cells,CCs)在卵母細(xì)胞成熟過程中發(fā)揮著重要的生物學(xué)作用[7]。研究發(fā)現(xiàn),CCs可通過與卵母細(xì)胞的縫隙連接,以旁分泌的方式將其他蛋白或生物學(xué)分子傳遞于卵母細(xì)胞進而影響其發(fā)育和成熟[6,8]。CCs的擴散程度、細(xì)胞數(shù)量、細(xì)胞質(zhì)量及形態(tài)均會影響到卵母細(xì)胞發(fā)育能力[7,9]。卵母細(xì)胞和卵丘細(xì)胞之間的關(guān)系是相互的,卵母細(xì)胞分泌的一些重要的因子,通過旁分泌作用促進卵丘細(xì)胞增生、分化及調(diào)節(jié)其功能,二者之間相互作用共同調(diào)節(jié)卵泡的發(fā)育[10]。由于卵母細(xì)胞與卵丘細(xì)胞之間的密切關(guān)系,有研究表明,卵丘細(xì)胞凋亡引起的卵泡閉鎖會影響到卵母細(xì)胞的后期發(fā)育潛能[11],卵母細(xì)胞的發(fā)育成熟情況影響后續(xù)胚胎的卵裂率及囊胚率[12]。
表皮生長因子(Epidermal growth factor,EGF)最早是從小鼠頜下腺中分離出來的一種多肽類物質(zhì),在細(xì)胞增殖和分化中起重要作用。EGF可通過多種信號途徑調(diào)節(jié)相關(guān)基因轉(zhuǎn)錄表達,抑制多種類型細(xì)胞凋亡,促進細(xì)胞增殖和分化,從而發(fā)揮抑制凋亡的生物學(xué)效應(yīng),細(xì)胞凋亡途徑很多,如線粒體介導(dǎo)的細(xì)胞凋亡途徑中的B-細(xì)胞淋巴瘤/白血病-2原癌基因(B-cell lymphoma/Leukemia-2,Bcl-2)。Bcl-2作為抗凋亡蛋白重要成員,在細(xì)胞中主要結(jié)合B細(xì)胞淋巴瘤/白血病基因伴隨x蛋白(B-cell lymphoma/Leukemia associated x protein,Bax)而抑制凋亡發(fā)生[13]。目前發(fā)現(xiàn)低氧誘導(dǎo)因子-1α(Hypoxia inducible factor-1α,HIF-1α)的靶基因有100多個。P.Carmeliet等[14]研究發(fā)現(xiàn),HIF-1α與Bcl-2、p53因子的表達存在密切關(guān)系,由于低氧應(yīng)激可以導(dǎo)致許多生物障礙,HIF-1α在調(diào)控細(xì)胞生長和凋亡可能具有普遍的病理生理學(xué)意義。G.L.Wang等[15]研究發(fā)現(xiàn),HIF-1是通過抑制Bcl-2表達的信號途徑來促進神經(jīng)細(xì)胞凋亡的。HIF-1α也可能在心肌Bcl-2、Bax的表達調(diào)節(jié)中發(fā)揮作用,進而調(diào)節(jié)細(xì)胞凋亡的發(fā)生[16]。
牦牛是生活在海拔最高處的哺乳動物,主要產(chǎn)于中國青藏高原海拔3 000 m以上地區(qū)。牦牛生產(chǎn)能力低下,繁殖活動具有明顯的季節(jié)性,妊娠期為250~260 d,本具有一年產(chǎn)一胎的能力,但是由于生存環(huán)境等相關(guān)因素的影響,牦牛的實際繁殖能力一般僅為兩年一胎或三年兩胎[17]。因此,本研究以牦牛卵丘細(xì)胞為研究對象,檢測不同濃度EGF對其凋亡的影響,并分析了EGF對HIF-1α及凋亡相關(guān)基因Bax、Bcl-2表達的影響,以探討EGF抑制牦牛卵丘細(xì)胞凋亡的相關(guān)分子機制,為進一步闡明EGF在卵母細(xì)胞成熟及早期胚胎發(fā)育機制中的作用提供理論依據(jù)。

2.3EGF對牦牛卵丘細(xì)胞HIF-1α、Bax和Bcl-2蛋白表達的影響
對加入不同濃度EGF的牦牛卵丘細(xì)胞進行HIF-1α、Bax和Bcl-2蛋白免疫熒光染色檢測如圖4所示:所有的牦牛卵丘細(xì)胞均表達HIF-1α、Bax和Bcl-2蛋白,且主要位于細(xì)胞核中,而細(xì)胞質(zhì)中熒光較弱。圖4的量化分析結(jié)果如圖5所示:HIF-1α蛋白在50 ng·mL-1EGF作用組相對表達量最低,且與100 ng·mL-1EGF組差異不顯著;25 ng·mL-1EGF處理組HIF-1α 蛋白的相對表達量顯著高于50 ng·mL-1EGF組(P<0.05);200 ng·mL-1EGF處理組HIF-1α 蛋白的相對表達量顯著高于其他組(P<0.05),但與對照組差異不顯著;對照組Bax蛋白相對表達量最高,25 ng·mL-1EGF組Bax蛋白相對表達量降低(P<0.05),在EGF為50 ng·mL-1濃度表達量最低(P<0.05),100 ng·mL-1EGF組Bax蛋白相對表達量與50 ng·mL-1EGF組差異不顯著,200 ng·mL-1EGF組與對照組差異不顯著;對照組Bcl-2蛋白相對表達量最低,25 ng·mL-1EGF組Bcl-2蛋白相對表達量顯著增加(P<0.05),Bcl-2在50 ng·mL-1EGF作用組蛋白相對表達量最高(P<0.05),100 ng·mL-1EGF組Bcl-2蛋白的相對表達量有所降低,但與50 ng·mL-1EGF組差異不顯著,200 ng·mL-1EGF處理組的相對表達量與對照組差異不顯著。

卵母細(xì)胞成熟過程中,包圍其周圍的卵丘細(xì)胞可通過分泌一系列蛋白調(diào)控卵母細(xì)胞質(zhì)量,甚至影響后期胚胎的發(fā)育[19]。同時卵丘細(xì)胞在胚胎體外培養(yǎng)過程中,常作為共培養(yǎng)體系細(xì)胞,質(zhì)量完好的卵丘細(xì)胞可提高胚胎的發(fā)育能力[20]。綜上表明,卵丘細(xì)胞的質(zhì)量對卵母細(xì)胞的成熟和早期胚胎發(fā)育具有至關(guān)重要的作用。
EGF作為重要的細(xì)胞因子可促進細(xì)胞的分化和增殖[21]。研究發(fā)現(xiàn),EGF對多數(shù)哺乳動物的卵母細(xì)胞成熟具有促進作用[22],包括牛[23]、水牛[24]和綿羊[25]。由于對卵母細(xì)胞進行裸卵培養(yǎng)時,添加EGF并未促進卵母細(xì)胞成熟,表明這種作用通過卵丘層細(xì)胞介導(dǎo)完成[21]。
牦牛長期生活在低氧的環(huán)境,其細(xì)胞體外培養(yǎng)必然對氧刺激更加敏感。HIF是缺氧應(yīng)答中起核心作用的轉(zhuǎn)錄應(yīng)答因子,目前發(fā)現(xiàn),HIF-1α的靶基因有100多個。EGF可以抑制低氧導(dǎo)致的人胚胎滋養(yǎng)層細(xì)胞凋亡,且主要的調(diào)控基因為Bax和P53[23,26]。而Bax為Bcl-2家族促凋亡成員,其作用可導(dǎo)致細(xì)胞線粒體外膜造成損傷,并釋放凋亡蛋白進一步促進內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)釋放Ca2+[27]。Bax蛋白過表達加速細(xì)胞凋亡進程,Bcl-2 作為凋亡抑制基因,Bcl-2 蛋白表達能夠阻止多種刺激因素引起的細(xì)胞凋亡[28]。

本研究首次分析EGF對牦牛卵丘細(xì)胞的凋亡調(diào)控及機制,在牦牛卵丘細(xì)胞培養(yǎng)液中加入不同濃度的EGF后,HIF-1α、Bax和Bcl-2 mRNA和蛋白的相對表達均發(fā)生了改變,且與細(xì)胞凋亡程度密切相關(guān),而HIF-1α、Bax和Bcl-2蛋白主要分布于卵丘細(xì)胞的胞核中。隨著EGF濃度的增加,HIF-1α和BaxmRNA及蛋白的相對表達量隨之降低,Bcl-2 mRNA和蛋白的相對表達量隨之升高,細(xì)胞的凋亡率也隨之降低;當(dāng)EGF濃度為50 ng·mL-1時,HIF-1α和BaxmRNA及蛋白的相對表達量最低,而Bcl-2 mRNA和蛋白的相對表達量最高,細(xì)胞的凋亡率也最低;當(dāng)EGF濃度增大后,其作用效果反而有所減弱。一步法TUNEL細(xì)胞凋亡檢測結(jié)果顯示,EGF可明顯降低細(xì)胞的凋亡率,且具有劑量依賴性,在50 ng·mL-1EGF組凋亡率最低,EGF濃度繼續(xù)增大后,凋亡率高于50 ng·mL-1EGF組,低于對照組的凋亡率??梢奅GF可降低牦牛卵丘細(xì)胞HIF-1α的表達,降低Bax的表達,提高Bcl-2的表達,降低細(xì)胞凋亡率,最佳作用濃度為50 ng·mL-1,其結(jié)果將為闡明EGF對卵母細(xì)胞成熟及早期胚胎的發(fā)育機制提供理論依據(jù)。

牦牛卵丘細(xì)胞體外培養(yǎng)中添加EGF可降低HIF-1α及Bax的表達,提高Bcl-2的表達,降低細(xì)胞凋亡率,且其作用濃度具有劑量依賴性,最佳濃度為50 ng·mL-1。證明EGF可通過調(diào)控HIF-1α抑制卵丘細(xì)胞凋亡,其作用可能是通過影響線粒體介導(dǎo)的Bax和Bcl-2凋亡途徑實現(xiàn)的。本研究為闡明EGF抑制卵丘細(xì)胞凋亡的分子機制提供了新的依據(jù),為進一步揭示EGF在卵母細(xì)胞成熟及早期胚胎發(fā)育過程中的作用機制提供理論基礎(chǔ)。

The present study was carried out to verify whether EGF inhibited the apoptosis of cumulus cells of yak by regulating the expression of HIF-1α.The cumulus cells of yak were culturedinvitrowith the supplement of different concentration of EGF.The expression levels of HIF-1α,Bax and Bcl-2 in different groups were detected by qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence.TUNEL was used to evaluate apoptosis rate.Results showed that:(1) After the addition of different concentration of EGF to the cumulus cells,there would be found a declined mRNA relative expression ofHIF-1αandBaxand an increased mRNA relative expression ofBcl-2,with a characteristic manner of concentration-dependent.When the concentration of EGF was as high as 50 ng·mL-1,the mRNA relative expressions ofHIF-1αandBaxwere the lowest,while that ofBcl-2 was the highest.(2) The protein relative expressions of HIF-1α and Bax were decreased and that of Bcl-2 was increased,with a characteristic manner of concentration-dependent.When the concentration of EGF was as high as 50 ng·mL-1,the protein relative expressions of HIF-1α and Bax were the lowest,while that of Bcl-2 was the highest.(3) Apoptosis detection shown that the apoptosis rate from control group was the highest.It was extremely declined when the concentration of EGF was 25 ng·mL-1(P<0.05),and down to its lowest level when EGF was 50 ng·mL-1(P<0.05),while rose again when EGF was continues to increase.It is concluded from this study that EGF can inhibit the apoptosis of cumulus cells by regulating HIF-1α and may be related to mitochondrial Bax and Bcl-2 apoptotic pathway.
