活性氧分子在釩化鈉誘導PC12細胞分化所扮演角色之探討

氧化還原狀態(redox status)與細胞生理過程息息相關，包括細胞增生、分化及凋亡。釩化鈉(sodium orthovanadate ; Na3VO4)為一酪蛋白磷酸水解?(protein tyrosine phosphatase)抑制劑，作用類似生長因子，已證實可產生活性氧分子(reactive oxygen species; ROS)。因此本論文擬探討釩化鈉誘導PC12細胞分化過程中，ROS所扮演的角色及其調控機制。經15μM Na3VO4處理PC12 細胞8天可見神經突觸外生(neurite outgrowth)及神經細胞分化指標蛋白neurofilament-L (NF-L)的表現。利用抗氧化物進行細胞前處理，結果發現N-acetylcysteine (NAC)、pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate （PDTC）及catalase（CAT）可抑制Na3VO4誘導PC12細胞分化，說明了ROS參與之可能性。CAT之活性於分化開始時，呈現下降趨勢，而於第4天逐漸恢復，至第10天才回到基礎值(basal level)。為了直接檢測胞內H2O2之變化，利用流式細胞儀配合2’,7’- dichloro-dihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA)染色之相對量，發現釩化鈉處理2分鐘時，胞內H2O2提升1.47倍左右，而NAC或CAT，可有效清除H2O2；續利用di-hydroethidium (HEt)檢測?O2-的產生，未發現有明顯變化。推測Na3VO4誘導PC12細胞分化過程中，H2O2可能扮演重要角色。為了闡明ROS敏感性(ROS-sensitive) MAPK (Mitogen- activated protein kinase)是否參與分化過程，利用西方墨漬及蛋白激?分析法進行分析，結果顯示p38MAPK在釩化鈉處理0-240分鐘間呈現下降現象，並在240分鐘時活性僅有控制組的58 ％；JNK則在5-15分鐘下降，在15分鐘時僅有54 ％的活性，至30分鐘時少量回升到71 ％，但在240分鐘時僅有14％活性；ERK維持一定活化量，在加藥120分鐘時達到活化峰值（171倍），至240分鐘仍有控制組之（22.43倍）；當ERK的活性維持基礎量時，p38MAPK及JNK的活性卻受到抑制，推測此現象應為釩化鈉造成MAPK彼此調控有關。利用MEK抑制劑U0126及不同濃度NAC處理細胞，均可有效減少由釩化鈉所造成ERK的活化。綜合上述結果顯示，釩化鈉可能藉由提升胞內H2O2濃度，並透過ROS敏感性MAPKs的作用，最後導致PC12神經細胞的分化，但其詳細機轉，仍有待進一步確認。

The redox status has been shown to correlate with various biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Sodium orthovanadate (Na3VO4) is a potent inhibitor of tyrosine phosphatase and can exert its cellular effects through mimic the function of growth factors. Tyrosine phosphorylation was demonstrated to be a pivotal factor of cell differentiation. In this report, Na3VO4 was used as a differentiation promoter and the rat phenochromocytoma cell line (PC12) was employed to investigate the roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during neuronal cell differentiation. About 80 % relative to NGF-induced differentiation was estimated by morphology of neurite outgrowth and immunoblot of neuron specific neurofilament-L (NF-L) after treatment with 15μM Na3VO4 for 8 days. In order to investigate the effects of ROS during PC12 cells differentiation, several antioxidants, such as N-acetylcysteine (NAC), pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), mannitol, tiron, ascorbic acid or catalase, were incubated with PC12 cells and their neurite outgrowth was determined. Na3VO4-induced differentiation of PC12 cells could be suppressed by NAC. PDTC and catalase had only slightly inhibitory effects. Nevertheless, mannitol, tiron and ascorbic acid had no effects. Furthermore, the activity of catalase, a major intracellular hydrogen peroxide scavenging enzyme, was decreased to about half of control cells on day 4 and recovered to basal level on day 10 in present of 15μM Na3VO4. By flow cytometric analysis with 2'', 7''- dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA), we demonstrated the production of intracellular H2O2 was elevated about 1.47 fold within 2 min in Na3VO4-treated PC12 cells and such phenomena was suppressed by NAC and catalase. ROS has been suggested as a signaling molecule to regulate the so-called ROS-sensitive MAPKs, such as extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK) and p38MAPK. Therefore, the activities of ROS-sensitive MAPKs were analyzed by immuno-blot and kinase assay. During Na3VO4-induced PC12 cells differentiation, the activities of p38MAPK and JNK were dimished slightly (58 % of control) and dramatically (14 % of control), respectively. Nevertheless, ERK activity was increased at 120 min time-point (171 folds of control) prolonged to 240 min time point (22.43 folds of control). After pre-treatment with MEK inhibitor U0126 and various concentration of NAC, the Na3VO4-induced activation of ERK was suppressed, which suggested that ERK might be a down-stream molecule of H2O2 generated by Na3VO4 treatment. Based on these results, ROS, especially H2O2, might play a pivotal role during Na3VO4-induced differentiation of PC12 cells.
