Effect of hydrogen sulfide on expression of survivin and its neuroprotective function in PC12 cells / 中华神经医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on the expression of survivin in PC12 cells and the neuroprotective function of H2S on PC12 cells.Methods Different concentrations of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) were used to treat the PC12 cells at different times.Dose-effect (50-800 μmol/L) and time-effect (0-180 min) on the expression of survivin were evaluated by Western blotting.Cell viability was tested by using cell counter kit-8.Results NariS treatment at the concentrations from 50 to 200 μmol/L for 30 min could up-regulate the expression of survivin in a dose dependent manner,however,when the concentration of NariS was above that,the expression of survivin decreased gradually;when the concentration of NariS reached 800 μmoi/L,the expression level of survivin was lower than the normal level.Treatment with 400 μmol/L NariS within the range of 0-60 min could promote the expression of survivin in a time dependent manner,but with the extension of time,the expression of survivin was declined.On the other hand,400 μmol/L NaHS preconditioning could enhance the expression of survivin promoted by CoCl2 and reduce the injuries of PC12 cells induced by CoCl2 to increase the cell viability.Conclusion H2S increases the expression ofsurvivin in a dose and time dependent manners at certain degree,which may be related to the protection of PC12 cells against chemical hypoxic damage.
