ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the effects of overexpression of polypyrimidine tract binding protein-associated splicing factor (PSF) on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) oxidative stress damage of human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (hRMEC) under high concentration of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE).Methods:The logarithmic growth phase hRMEC cultured in vitro was divided into normal group, simple 4-HNE treatment group (simple 4-HNE group), empty plasmid combined with 4-HNE treatment group (Vec+4-HNE group), and PSF high expression combined with 4-HNE treatment group (PSF+4-HNE group). In 4-HNE group, Vec+4-HNE group, and PSF+4-HNE group cell culture medium, 10 μmol/L 4-HNE was added and stimulated for 12 hours. Subsequently, the Vec+4-HNE group and PSF+4-HNE group were transfected with transfection reagent liposome 2000 into pcDNA empty bodies and pcDNA-PSF eukaryotic expression plasmids, respectively, for 24 hours. Flow cytometry was used to detect the effects of 4-HNE and PSF on cell apoptosis. The effect of PSF overexpression on the expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in hRMEC was detected by 2', 7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein double Acetate probe. Western blot was used to detect ER oxide protein 1 (Ero-1), protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), C/EBP homologous transcription factor (CHOP), glucose regulatory protein (GRP) 78, protein kinase R-like ER kinase (PERK)/phosphorylated PERK (p-PERK), and Eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 2α/the relative expression levels of phosphorylated eIF (peIF) and activated transcription factor 4 (ATF4) proteins in hRMEC of normal group, 4-HNE group, Vec+4-HNE group, and PSF+4-HNE group. Single factor analysis of variance was performed for inter group comparison.Results:The apoptosis rates of the simple 4-HNE group, Vec+4-HNE group, and PSF+4-HNE group were (22.50±0.58)%, (26.93±0.55)%, and (11.70±0.17)%, respectively. The intracellular ROS expression levels were 0.23±0.03, 1.60±0.06, and 0.50±0.06, respectively. The difference in cell apoptosis rate among the three groups was statistically significant ( F=24.531, P<0.05). The expression level of ROS in the Vec+4-HNE group was significantly higher than that in the simple 4-HNE group and the PSF+4-HNE group, with a statistically significant difference ( F=37.274, P<0.05). The relative expression levels of ER Ero-1 and PDI proteins in the normal group, simple 4-HNE group, Vec+4-HNE group, and PSF+4-HNE group were 1.25±0.03, 0.45±0.03, 0.63±0.03, 1.13±0.09, and 1.00±0.10, 0.27±0.10, 0.31±0.05, and 0.80±0.06, respectively. The relative expression levels of CHOP and GRP78 proteins were 0.55±0.06, 1.13±0.09, 0.90±0.06, 0.48±0.04 and 0.48±0.04, 1.25±0.03, 1.03±0.09, 0.50±0.06, respectively. The relative expression levels of Ero-1 ( F=43.164), PDI ( F=36.643), CHOP ( F=42.855), and GRP78 ( F=45.275) proteins in four groups were compared, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Four groups of cells ER p-pERK/pERK ( F=35.755), peIF2 α/ The relative expression levels of eIF ( F=38.643) and ATF4 ( F=31.275) proteins were compared, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:PSF can inhibit cell apoptosis and ROS production induced by high concentration of 4-HNE, and its mechanism is closely related to restoring the homeostasis of ER and down-regulating the activation level of PERK/eIF2α/ATF4 pathway.
