摘要

目的：,2,基于PI3K/AKT信号通路探讨双氢青蒿素（DHA）对人三阴性乳腺癌MDA-MB-231细胞增殖及凋亡的影响。,方法：,2,①不同浓度（25、50、100 μmol/L）DHA干预不同时间（12、24、48、72 h）后，MTT法检测细胞增殖。②不同浓度（0、30、60、90 μmol/L）DHA干预48 h后，流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡和细胞周期，Hoechst 33258染色观察细胞凋亡。③划痕实验观察60 μmol/L DHA干预0、6、12、24 h后对细胞迁移能力的影响。④60 μmol/L DHA干预12 h后，PCR检测细胞内凋亡相关因子,Caspase-3,、,Caspase-9,、,Bcl-2,、,Bax,的mRNA表达水平。60 μmol/L DHA干预48 h后，Western blot检测细胞内Caspase-3、Caspase-9、Bcl-2、Bax以及PI3K、p-PI3K、AKT、p-AKT的蛋白表达水平。,结果：,2,①DHA能够抑制MDA-MB-231细胞增殖，且抑制作用随药物浓度增加而增强。②DHA可以促进MDA-MB-231细胞凋亡，且随着药物浓度增加，促凋亡作用增强。③30 μmol/L DHA作用可使细胞周期阻滞在G0/G1期；60、90 μmol/L DHA作用后细胞周期阻滞在G2/M期。④60 μmol/L DHA干预12、24 h后，细胞迁移率显著降低（,P,<,0.01）。⑤60 μmol/L DHA干预后，,Caspase-3,、,Caspase-9, mRNA表达水平以及,Bax,/,Bcl-2, mRNA表达比值显著上调（,P,<,0.01），cleaved Caspase-9/Caspase-9、Bax/Bcl-2蛋白表达比值显著升高（,P,<,0.05）；同时PI3K蛋白表达水平显著升高（,P,<,0.05），而p-PI3K、p-AKT的蛋白表达水平显著降低（,P,<,0.01）。,结论：,2,DHA可能通过抑制PI3K/AKT信号通路，抑制MDA-MB-231细胞的增殖和迁移，并诱导细胞凋亡。
