Abstract:

AIM: To investigate the protective effect and mechanisms of tormentic acid (TA) on GES-1 cells induced by alcohol. METHODS: The GES-1 cell injury model induced alcohol was established. The GES-1 cells were divided into control group, model group, TA (12.5 μg/mL) group, Nrf2 inhibitor group (ML385, 10 μmol/L) group and NLRP3 inhibitor (MCC950, 8 μmol/L) group. After adding the corresponding drugs to the drug intervention group cells and culturing them for 22 hours, cells were treated with 7% alcohol except for the control group and cultured for another 2 hours, and then the cell supernatant and cells were collected, respectively. MTT assay was used to test cell viability; Cell scratch and Transwell were utilized to detect cell migration; AnnexinV FITC/PI double staining was used to test cell apoptosis; Immunofluorescences were used to detect MMP and ROS level in alcohol induced GES-1 cells; Colorimetric and ELISA methods were used to test the levels of LDH, IL-4, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, IL-18, NO and TNF-α in the GES-1 cell supernatants; Colorimetric method was utilized to detect the levels of CAT, GSH, MDA, MPO, SOD, T-AOC in alcohol induced GES-1 cells, and cytochrome C in the cytosol and mitochondria of GES-1 cells; Immunofluorescence was utilized to detect the co-localization of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1; The changes in intracellular ultrastructure were observed under an electron microscope; Real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of Apaf-1, ASC, Bcl-2, Bcl-xl, Bad, Bax, caspase-1, COX-1, COX-2, GCLC, HO-1, iNOS, Keap-1, NEK7, NLRP3, NQO1, Nrf2, PGE2 and TXNIP in alcohol induced GES-1 cells; Western blot was utilized to test the protein expression levels of Apaf-1, ASC, Bcl-2, Bcl-xl, Bad, Bax, caspase-1, cleaved-caspase-3, cleaved-caspase-9, PARP-1, cleaved-PARP-1, GCLC, HO-1, Keap-1, NEK7, NLRP3, NQO1, nuclear Nrf2, pro-caspase-1, pro-caspase-3, pro-caspase-9, pro-IL-18, pro-IL-1β, total Nrf2 and TXNIP in GES-1 cells. RESULTS: Compared with the model group, TA prominently promote alcohol induced GES-1 cell migration, depressed cell apoptosis and LDH release, substantially reduced intracellular ROS level, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18, NO, TNF-α levels in the GES-1 cell supernatants, MDA, MPO levels in alcohol induced GES-1 cells and cytochrome C content in cytosol (P<0.01), substantially elevated mitochondrial membrane potential, IL-4, IL-10 levels in the GES-1 cell supernatants, CAT, GSH, SOD, T-AOC levels in alcohol induced GES-1 cells and cytochrome C content in the mitochondria (P<0.01). It dramatically down-regulated the ASC, Apaf-1, Bad, Bax, caspase-1, COX-2, iNOS, Keap-1, NEK7, NLRP3, TXNIP mRNA and ASC, Apaf-1, Bad, Bax, caspase-1, cleaved-caspase-3, cleaved-caspase-9, cleaved-PARP-1, Keap-1, NEK7, NLRP3, pro-caspase-1, pro-IL-1β, pro-IL-18, TXNIP protein expressions in alcohol induced GES-1 cells, restrained co-localization of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 in alcohol induced GES-1 cells; The structure of the nucleus and nucleolus was intact, chromatin was uniform, and mitochondrial swelling was reduced; TA up-regulated the COX-1, Bcl-2, Bcl-xl, GCLC, HO-1, NQO1, Nrf2, PGE2 mRNA and Bcl-2, Bcl-xl, GCLC, HO-1, NQO1, total Nrf2, nuclear Nrf2, pro-caspase-3, pro-caspase-9 protein expressions and Bcl-2/Bax, Bcl-xl/Bad ratios in the alcohol induced GES-1 cells (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: TA has a significant protective effect on alcohol damaged GES-1 cells, and its mechanism is closely related to activating the Keap-1/Nrf2 pathway, reducing oxidative stress, inhibiting the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, alleviating inflammatory response, and thereby suppressing the activation of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.
