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H2O2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H2O2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H2O2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 H2O2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H2O2刺激后,凋亡细胞百分比明显增加(P < 0.01)。结论H2O2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。
